Having a Morning and Bedtime Routine Changed My Life
I am by no stretch of the imagination a morning person; waking up and getting going was always the hardest part of my day. I would wake up groggy and felt like I was on autopilot for the first few hours of the day. Going to bed was no better as I would go from staring at my computer or phone screen all evening straight to bed without letting my brain rest. I found myself tossing and turning for a while before I was finally able to go to sleep. It was a vicious cycle that I felt trapped in until I heard of multiple fitness gurus share this secret: Having a morning and bedtime routine will vastly improve your quality of life.

Ever feel lost in the world? Feel left out in all that you are invited to do? She felt that way, alone even when the company was around. We can get lost in our thoughts every now and again but are we able to pull our self out? She managed to slowly be able to pull herself out of the hole she fell in.

This wasn’t how she planned it, this wasn’t supposed to happen to her. Then she woke up from the dream, she had been living in the fantasy in the back of her head.

Why Should You Write?
In 2010, I returned from a family vacation with my wife and my 3-year-old son for about five days. I unnaturally felt like writing about that trip. I had never written in the past until that point. I believe some of my experiences that I had on that trip made me write about it.

Why Can’t I Take a Compliment?
Is it just me that has the cringe to end all cringes whenever someone pays me an unexpected compliment ? Don’t get me wrong, I like to think my self esteem is at a healthy level , well as healthy as a 24 year old woman in the introductory quarter of her life trying to figure out who she wants to be in this world’s can be. By that I mean that I wouldn’t say I’m particularly shy or uncomfortable with myself which made it all the more confusing when I really started thinking about the fact that I really struggle any time someone I don’t know well , particularly those of the opposite sex, pays me a compliment.

Free $40,000 Audi
Last year, I purchased a 2016 car which is new compared to the 2004 I was driving previously. I saved and saved my money, I even used a huge chunk of my tax return to put towards paying the car cash – I was completely against the idea of making payments for the next 5 years. I was blessed enough, even during a pandemic to be able to pay cash for my car – such a huge accomplishment, however there were minor cosmetic issues that the dealership agreed to fix for me.

ARE YOU ADDICTED TO YOUR PHONE?
Are you addicted to your phone? 2/3 of phone users have “Nomophobia” –the fear of being without their phone or phone service. In some ways, excessive phone use is like other forms of addiction in which you experience pleasure (dopamine brain chemicals), but then suffer from withdrawals (anxiety, sadness) when you’re not able to use your phone. If you find yourself wasting too much time on your phone, and your work or relationships are suffering, then it may be time for you to try the Phone Addiction Cure. Apply these techniques so you can use your phone for useful and beneficial purposes, instead of using it too much for the wrong reasons: negative news, distractions, compulsive activities, or excessive social media comparisons.

The Biggest Regret
I talk a lot in my blog entries about regret, and how the fact that many of us are currently dealing with it right now, or how many of us will encounter it in our later life. Let's face it, we are all going to make decisions, and do things, that we look back on in and hindsight, and wish we hadn't have made them, or done them. That's life, we are all human. We are going to make mistakes, we are going to encounter failures, we are going to share relationships with the wrong people, and we are going to say things that were better left unsaid. Unfortunate as it may be, what is done is done, and we can't go back and change the past. What we do have control over, is our future. No matter what errors we have made in the past, be it wrong decisions, or even non-decisions, it doesn't mean we cannot learn from our mistakes, nor does it mean we can't create a rewarding and fulfilling future for ourselves. It's never too late to create a future that we desire, but having said that, each day we hold back from doing so, becomes another day wasted, and each day wasted is a day lost on what is already borrowed time. There are certain decisions we can make, and actions we can take, right now, that can at least eliminate the biggest regret that humankind has, in reaching their latter years. That biggest regret that people end up having on their death bed, is having failed to live their life that was true to themselves, rather than having lived a life that others expected of them.

The Truth About Doing Nothing
“Only when I . . . was forced by one too many episodes of burnout did I begin to see work as an irreplaceable part of my life, but not the whole of my life. And only then did I begin to focus on what I could uniquely do instead of trying to do everything—thus beginning to be far more effective as a worker.”—Gloria Steinem, activist/politician (From Forbes article: Are You Suffering From Burnout? Here Are Signs Of The Invisible Disease; Written by Bryan Robinson, Ph.D)

Take A Chance
We all yearn for success, happiness, and prosperity, in life. Why wouldn't we, considering the alternative is failure, unhappiness, and poverty? The question is though, why is it that such a small percentage of people actually strive for such rewards? Three reasons; fear, doubt, and laziness. Many people doubt that such a life is even achievable, or they simply don't have the talent, knowledge, and skill, to achieve it, or that they don't have the resources to achieve it. Then there are others who simply can't be bothered striving for these rewards. Because success, happiness, and prosperity, all require a lot of hard work, patience, resilience, commitment, and will power, to achieve, this group of people just simply can't be bothered, they don't want to use any energy in applying themselves, and instead they rely on a miracle to eventuate, such as a lottery win. Then we have those who live in fear. They desire all these rewards so desperately, yet they are afraid of seizing their opportunities, because, despite the potential for success, they instead focus on the possibility of failure, or being judged by others, or financial loss, or hardship, or any other potential negative outcomes. The group of individuals that do succeed in life, are those who take a chance. They are prepared to step out of their comfort zone, to make sacrifices, to accept the criticism, the judgement, and lack of support from others, to take risks, and even to fail time and time again, if it means they are working towards a future blessed with success, happiness, and prosperity.
