Self help, because you are your greatest asset.
DEVELOP SELF-AWARENESS, REDUCE ANXIETY
DEVELOP SELF- AWARENESS: SELF-AWARENESS of YOUR EMOTIONS: 1. Notice your contemplations. Except if you've been ruminating for quite a long time, your psyche is continually agitating through thoughts and interminably providing commentary. You can't simply take a gander at a tree and appreciate it, your brain needs to respond, "That is an excellent tree." Then it's heading off to the races.

I Will Never Give Up My Self-control, Again
Your getting excited... You know that what your doing is what your supposed to be doing. You've been PROCRASTINATING, for, if we were to be 100% honest... longer than you wanted. And that PROCRASTINATION has been what, in my experience, procrastinating with never reaching the stars and all that I dream. But why? Why, when I have 100% ability to do so?

Mellowing the Melancholic Within
When most of us think of New Year's resolutions, we usually conjure up images of sleekly toned legs pounding away on a treadmill or plates of verdant leafy greens and berry smoothies. Or perhaps committing to a budget or saving money for a house come to mind. But what about aspirations of better mental health? While that is certainly not as sexy (nor as photogenic) as a pair of muscled thighs, the quest for mental wellness is often an unseen, yet lifelong struggle for many of us.

I Resolve To Rise
A new year is often a time of reflection and analysis. In the past, it has been a ritual of mulling over all of the things I intended to do, but did not quite get around to. Looking back and realizing that I didn't start that podcast, or the fact that I didn't lose the 50 pounds I intended to drop, or the fact that I did not meet, get engaged to and marry the love of my life this past year has felt like a two-ton boulder sitting on my shoulders.

A Difficult Resolution
2020 derailed most of the things I was working towards. My mental health, which was already suffering, tanked. I was skipping classes because I couldn't make myself get out of bed. I was procrastinating because everything felt numb. I couldn't find the motivation to do most of the things I put on my vision board, which was full of positive energy and reminders to write and study and swim and to be confident. I was stagnant and self-sabotaging and I knew I needed to stop but I couldn't figure out how to. I'm sure part of it was the pandemic, but it was just making the symptoms of my bad brain even worse than they already were. I'm sure plenty of people can relate to that.

When many people take the responsibility to bring integrity and authenticity to their thinking and actions, the individual consciousness aligns and expands to affect the collective consciousness
Our body-mind is highly influenced by our thoughts and words. The words you constantly repeat to yourself, have to be enriching you, inspiring you, exciting you and enlightening you. The words you give to you are āhara (food), what you consume to create life in you.

4 Times 5 Twice
4 Times 5 Twice In the beginning of 2020, I was a college student who was in a failing relationship clinging to a serving job I had held for 5 years at one of the busiest airports in the world, DFW. I was working at a restarant 40 hours a week and taking 5 classes. I was miserable. I was out of shape although fitness and health were my passion. I was emotionally crippled, me and my ex had put each other through the ringer. I was struggling with school, and as someone who held a 4.0 up through her Junior year, well that was the worst pill to swallow. I had completely lost sight of who I was, what mattered and what I wanted out of life. I was living to keep someone who didn’t even really know me and struggling to maintain a positive outlook.

How to try your best and (maybe) not succeed
Failing is easy. Anybody can, and everybody will, sometime. Failing? Pfffttt. Been there, done that, many times. You know what's not so easy? Having tried your best, but then still failing. Now that sucks. You've put in the time and the effort to achieve whatever it is you set your mind to, but then what happens? After all the hopes and expectations, you fail.

The little things are the big things
If I had a dollar who everytime I started a New Year and saw a resolution that said - "Save money", "Lose weight", or "More self-care", I would not still be waiting on my unemployment check from August of 2020. Don't get me wrong, making resolutions can be life-changing for a lot of people, some DO save money, lose weight, and incorporate more self-care that changes their entire life and I applaud those people, I really honestly do. However, my mindset has always moved toward get gradually better, start with small things, think about one thing a day that could make it better or more manageable. My "resolutions" for the Year 2021 go as follows:

Tuning Into The Dark Side Of The Mind
When you’re alone in your bedroom, the only person you’re left with is yourself. Your voice is the only resounding sound in your mind. Your feelings of inadequacy and insecurity beating in your chest, the lifeline through your body.

Where ya headed?
During our college days, my friend, Ken, and I decided to drive to Chicago, wanting to see the big city while in that part of the country for a wedding. After the wedding rehearsal on Friday night, Ken and I struck out for the Windy City. As we traveled up I-65, we could see the lights ahead. Soon we were on the edge of the metro area. As we got closer, we saw what appeared to be a sea of taillights – and the accompanying headlights – flowing along the Eisenhower Expressway. Drawing nearer, we suddenly found ourselves sucked into the eastbound traffic, but we soon were back to flowing along at 70 plus miles per hour. After a few minutes I looked at Ken, who was driving, and asked, “Do you have any idea where we are?”

Fundamentals
Whilst I do have intentions around better eating, better sleeping and more exercise, those are not the most important ones. I have realised that underpinning my sense of wellbeing is a resolve not to let other people’s opinions have any power over me. This can be difficult when we are talking about people close to us, with whom we may have shared history, or familial ties. This year though, is the year that I wipe this slate clean.
