Keep Moving

There are some days that it can be so difficult to remember how far we've come. Usually they're the days that someone from our past peeks their head in to see what they can do to mess with us (if you're thinking "ex-boyfriend" then you know me too well). The important thing to hold on to at times like these is how much you have accomplished since this person stopped being a part of your life. I know you've done some wonderful things all by yourself, things you should be proud of. Focus on them, not someone who decided you weren't worth their time...because at the end of the day,  who's really missing out here? (The answer is "them")

Think Positive

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, positivity can take you so far in life. Thinking positive thoughts is one of the best, and easiest, ways to keep moving in the right direction. Your body listens to what your mind is putting out, so if you're thinking positively, positive things will happen. Plus, if you're positive about a new experience, chances are you'll enjoy it more, and get more out of it than if you were negative about it. Try to enter every situation with a positive mindset, and I bet things will go a lot more smoothly.

Make Yourself Smile

This week, this photo has been the lock screen on my phone. Besides being super pretty, it's a good reminder to have. Doing the things that make you happy is so important. This isn't just because it will make you happy, but because sometimes the best way to relax is to make sure you're taking time for yourself. I tend to forget this, and I think that many other people do as well. So this week I'm going to make sure I take some time to relax and do something I enjoy doing, not just something I have to do. You should too.
Much love,
Em

Take Today

Today's message I want to give to everyone is very simple. Make the most of today, because it's all you have. Tomorrow isn't guaranteed. If today was your last day, would you be happy with how you spent it? Stop waiting for things to happen and go make them happen. And stop waiting for something to come along and make you happy. Why aren't you happy? Change it. Make your life what you want.
Much love,

Grow Flowers

When we're frustrated with people, it can be easy to want to scream and throw a fit over the fact that they're just not understanding what we're trying to say. But what if they're not understanding because you're not doing a great job explaining yourself? Then for sure yelling won't work, because for anyone hearing something you don't understand is hard enough, but if it's at a higher volume then it's even worse. So the next time someone isn't responding to you, try changing your explanation tactic before you change your volume.
Much love,

Get Started

There are several things that I think are so important for you to work on everyday. The list could go on forever, so for now I'll just stick to one. Where do you want to go in your life? Are you working toward getting there? If not, start thinking about it. If you want to end up somewhere, you need to try your best to plan out your journey to that point. Sure, life gets in the way, and yeah it can be scary (let's admit it, it's terrifying), but if you work toward getting where you want to be, you'll not only feel better about yourself, but I bet the next step will seem a lot less scary, because you've already taken the first one.
Much love,

Break Down Your Walls

After many weeks of being away from this blog, I'm back!

This picture has been the lock screen on my phone for about a week now. In addition to getting this blog back up and running, I've decided to keep something motivational as my lock screen, that I'll change up about once a week. This way every time I look at my phone, (which is much more often than I'd like to admit) I'll have a little push of positivity. I love this quote because it reminds me that the only person holding me back is myself. This is true for everyone, if you want to do something, then why not do it? If you want to be someone, you can be. The only person standing in your way is you.

Much love,

Em
