Self Education
Every time I am straining for breath at the top of a mountain or a hill somewhere, I always ask under my breath, why am I doing this to myself? I could be in bed reading or doing something more relaxing. And yet, I will still find myself up another hill or a mountain in a couple of months. Why? Because I like how good I feel about myself later. I feel great after hiking. Tired to the bone yes, hurting in every part of the body, but great. I feel like a badass. Continue reading
Are you an emotional spender?
At some point, most of us have done some sort of emotional spending. That time you were feeling low, and you ended up splurging on something you didn’t need. Of getting wasted on drinks because you were feeling super bad and needed to ‘cheer yourself up’.

I have emphasized over and over the importance of taking a personality test and understanding your personality type.

I enjoy watching transformation shows such as makeover shows. I love how the other person shows newly gained confidence, and that they are amazed they could pull a look that they didn’t even think they could. The newly transform person cannot believe how good they look, I even so one see herself in the mirror for the first time and ask after the transformation, is this me? They cry, they cannot believe that they can look as good as they do, or feel as good as they do. This is how much little changes can help you build self-confidence. Continue reading
Are there days that end and you feel as if you have accomplished nothing? Or in actual sense, you really hasn’t accomplished anything of value? I hate that feeling of going to bed feeling tired and yet I know so well I have not done something productive. Continue reading
