Let's Talk About Getting Back To Being Happy
One day I was roaming around Barnes & Noble when I came across a book that I knew I needed to purchase and read. Getting Back To Happy by Marc & Angel Chernoff has been a book that I have needed in my life for the past few months. I have struggled with depression, anxiety, insecurity, and trust issues for years. I’ve been in and out of treatment since high school. Two years ago, I went to an intense outpatient treatment program that got me back on track and has helped my life immensely.

Is Happiness the Right Life Goal?
When I was in my early teens, I wanted nothing more than to be respected by my peers. By age eighteen, I wanted to change the world and be recognised as a great mind of the century, maybe even the millennia. A few years later that goal altered to the smaller but perhaps no less difficult, achieving personal well-being.

Not a Trait
Growing up homeschooled had its perks, I could sleep in, I had more time for my hobbies, and I was able to learn in a hands-on way. My mom was my teacher for a while. She sucked at teaching math, not being very good at it herself, but she was exceptional at history. Out of everything she taught me, I remember history lessons the most. I used to read history books about ancient Greece and Rome in my free time, admiring the strength of their generals and most infamous leaders, longing to be like them.

I Failed
Hello my little lovelies! So I wanted to make this post because I realized I never really talk or write about what happens when my cravings override my willpower and it's not your cheat day. It's not often but it does happen. I feel like if I'm going to share my journey to being healthy and fit with you guys I have to be honest with my struggles too. I don't want to post about just the successes because I don't want people who are also trying to be healthy think that it's going to be a piece of cake. It's honestly not a piece of cake.

The Only Thing Standing in Your Way is YOU
I know what you're thinking, "It's not my fault," "I was too busy," "I can't afford to go to the gym," etc. etc. These are all things you tell yourself (and others) to try and escape the fact that the reason your health is the way it is, is YOUR fault. YOU chose to eat that tub of ice cream. YOU chose to lay in bed all day watching television.

When the World Keeps Spinning and You're Still Standing Still
I've been on this planet for 22 years now and honestly, I can say there are very few people out there that were able to help me without me having to mess something up first. My mom and dad were the picture perfect couple in the most picture perfect relationship for as long as I can remember, that is until I graduated high school. My dad left shortly after I graduated. He had confessed to me that he had been seeing another woman for quite some time. (Mind you as if this wasn't enough of a shock to you, it would soon be even more of a shock that she is only a few years older than me). As you can imagine this was a hard thing to process.

Loving Yourself
First thing's first, yes the title to this blog is a little cliché, and I know you're probably preparing yourself for a load of inspirational bull, but normally, I'm not an inspirational person. Judging by the title, you've probably made numerous assumptions about me. Let's clear all this up. No, I'm not a vegan. No, I'm not spiritual, and no, I don't do yoga. All in all I'm a pretty grounded person, but I do love myself, and you should love yourself.

Change Is One Decision Away
Have you ever looked at your life and wondered... “How did I get here?” or better yet, “How do I get out of this insanity that I’ve created for myself?” Don’t you wish you could just change it all? Well, the good news is, you are only one decision away from change.

Change It
Try it, renew yourself and get ready. Many opportunities will be on the way, and they will make you smile! If life is no longer able to satisfy your desires. If you have looked in the mirror and thought you would like to be living different experiences, change it. Change your appearance, your way of behaving, raise your head. Learn how to face the world, because it can't keep making you scared or make you feel small.
