Can't Be Bothered
Living in such a fast paced and demanding world, it's no wonder that we so often feel tired, exhausted, and lethargic. Life is just all go, go, go, that when any precious moment of peace and relaxation actually presents itself, we are very quick to take advantage of it. When that rare sleep in opportunity comes around, we take it. When that opportunity to just relax on the couch and watch Netflix or television comes around, we take it. When that opportunity comes around, to just sit down and rest for a few minutes, giving us some time to browse through social media on our phone, we take it. When that opportunity of being invited out for a coffee, or a night out with friends, comes around, we take it. After all, is there any problem with just relaxing for a while, or watching a bit of television, or catching up on some sleep, or spending time with our friends? Unwinding and resting for a few moments is actually a good thing, especially if we can use that time for some quiet meditation perhaps, or maybe to catch up on some of that much needed sleep that we too often deprive ourselves of. The problem is when we start to abuse this time, and make it habitual. We allow it to start eating into the time we need to be productive, and be getting stuck into the actions that are working towards our goals. Scaling it back even further though, it goes back to what I was talking about yesterday, in how we spend excessive time focusing on the less important aspects of life, rather than on our priorities. We lack balance in our life. We find ourselves spending an excessive amount of time at work, at our job, because we are so fixed in our focus on earning a living, that we totally forget to actually make a life for ourselves. The time we spend at our job, further compounded by the amount of time we spend commuting to and from work, many of us actually are losing 12 of the 24 hours that we have in the day. All of a sudden, we then feel pressured to try and cram other tasks and activities into the remainder of our day, such as making meals, spending time with our family, and staying on top of the maintenance and cleaning of the house we live in. We find ourselves sacrificing sleep in order to keep our head above water, which becomes detrimental to our health, and that's why we ultimately find ourselves feeling tired, exhausted, and lethargic all the time. It's no wonder we take advantage of any moment of peace and quiet to ourselves. But where's the time for our goals, and working on designing the life we desire?

How To Be Creative Like Picasso
The home office is here to stay, at least for many, and although there are hundreds of advantages of being able to work from home, such as being able to take breaks to play with your cat, it can become monotonous very easily. Especially if you are a freelancer or if your work requires creativity, like being a designer, or a blogger.

What to Do If You’re Single and Feel Like You’re Missing Out
"Hope for love, pray for love, wish for love, dream love ... but don't put your life waiting for love." ~ Mandy Hale Going to weddings alone, no plus-one to go with. Watching the couple dance, they think, “Will there ever be a time when I am at a party?” Going on vacation alone, you do not have a partner to share your memories with. Listening to the stories of missing friends ’weekends, as a reminder that your weekends are all alone. If there is anything like me, you may see these signs of life together.

The world has become decentralized
"The answer to the pain of grief is not a way to get out of it, but how to feed yourself within yourself." ~ Unknown Ever since I lost my husband Matt more than eight months ago due to cancer at just thirty-nine years old, I have seen so many changes happen inside me, and one of those changes is the burning sense of self-defense that I have because of my grief.

What I've learned along the way
Life has been anything, but easy. By the age of 28 I had lost both of my parents, have known loss and trauma and pain, every year since, I was about 7. I have taken care of my handicapped brother my entire life, so to say that I grew up quickly is an understatement. I have taken care of the elderly and disabled since I was 17. I have learned so much from so many. My mother had Psychosis and was in and out of hospitals since I was 16. She died in a terrible car wreck, while completely sleep "walking". In losing her, I lost myself. But, where there is great pain, there is great healing underneath. I learned at a very young age that everything is a lesson, and the sooner you realize what that lesson is, the sooner your soul growth and expansion takes place. I grew up it a very metaphysical/spiritual family with gifts that I thought everyone had. We are all arguing over the same thing. All we need to know, is LOVE will win, Unconditional love is literally a frequency and it flows through us all. I know GREAT pain, But I also know great LOVE. The lessons I've learned, I want to share with others in hopes that maybe it could help others to navigate their feelings and thoughts. I know that everyone has to go through the process, no one can do it for you. BUT maybe just maybe this could be a cheat sheet to get to that lesson a little easier.
