Never-ending Journey

It has been mighty long time since I have been in this space. Life has gotten the best of me and I let myself get caught up in the whirlwind. In the midst of this cyclone of life, I didn't take care of me. I made several strides to better myself. I am still in school and have been doing extremely well. School is honestly the only thing I have been excelling at. In light of this I intend on making strides toward bettering myself. I am attempting to come up with ways in which to do so.

Here is what I have thus far:

1. Yoga/physical activity: I have always been intrigued with the beauty and art that is yoga.
One of the things that truly speaks to me is the foundation of loving thine self and doing what is best for you. My progression has be slow but I am growing in confidence. I am open and willing to any suggestions for growing a home practice. My new positions in life have offered me quite a bit of sitting. My body is not used to being sedentary, because of this I am constantly feeling stiff and tight. Along with developing a yoga practice I want to step up the physical activity.


2. Cleaner eating: I began this year full force in this regard. I started doing herbalife and was having amazing results but due to personal reasons I had to stop. While on this plan was eating was
immaculate. Being "busy" with school has prompted me to backslide. I was no longer eating the way I know I should be, causing me to feel sluggish.

3. Penny-pinching: This right here??? This has been a life-long struggle for yours truly. Ever since I can remember I have been quick to spend my dollars just as soon as I get them. This a problem! I have loans that need to be
repaid when I graduate from grad school and some minimal credit card debt. It is not just these tangible responsibilities that need to be taken care of; I want to start saving. I am still in my twenties and I really want to start tackling issues of building wealth. Money, stocks, bonds, retirement funds, all of that scares me. I want to conquer these fears and begin building that foundation.

Untitled thoughts

After Bible Study last night something hit me; that I have the tendency to be apathetic about things that happen to me in life. I'm willing to just see what happens. Which at times can be a good thing but I have come to realize it hasn't been working for me. There are some things that I need to be more proactive about: 1. My relationship with God. See it's not just enough that I am saved. There is way more to being connected to God then going to church one day a week and telling people that I'm a Christian. While I'm not going to be perfect there are numerous things that I can be doing to strengthen and expand my faith. Beginning with what I do at home. I have always thought that it was possible to just read the Bible once maybe twice a week, pray when I was need of something and everything be OK. This I have come to realize is not true. In order to have the relationship with God that I desire I need to be in constant communication with the Lord. And this has to sta...

#RoadToCandidacy

The moment you've all been waiting for, or maybe not, either way it's here!! As of today at 7:44 am my Qualifying Exams are underway!! That's right, for the next 2 months I will be on locked down writing at least 60 pages in response to 3 questions. Send me snacks, love, luck, motivation, and things to do for fun times (because baby girl will need a break)! Hopefully my depression and anxiety are willing to work with me. With that I am off to get started on Question #1! #RoadToCandidacy

Could you Speak up? I can't hear you.

I have always had difficulty standing up for myself or voicing my voice as the young folks say. Speaking my mind and expressing my thoughts and ideas terrifies me. I'm not confident in my opinions and often worry that I'm wrong. These thoughts are only heightened by my ever present anxiety. I'm constantly overthinking and concerned that no one wants to hear what I have to say. To me, my thoughts don't matter to anyone other than myself. My voice often shakes and gets quiet when I'm trying to express myself. I am either worried that my opinions will harm/offend or will go unnoticed. There are several moments over the course of my life where I regret not speaking up or saying something that was on my mind. There is a constant internal struggle that happens every time I faced with a moment to express myself. More often than not, I end up silencing myself. Which I can openly admit has done nothing for me.  All I ended up with was a nagging regret that I should have sa...
