Embracing Your Period

by

Today I have a guest post from Ellie. Ellie blogs over at The Better Period, where she blogs about how women of all ages can have a better period experience. If you’d like to learn more about Ellie and her blog be sure to check out her author bio at the end of this post!

Today I have something different for you all. We don’t talk about periods on this blog, but we do talk about the many different ways we can better our overall health. Well, guess what, our periods are a part of our health. That’s why today we are going to spend some time talking about it, and learning more about it and the way it impacts our overall health. And we’re going to do this with the help of Ellie!

May I ask you a personal question? How do you feel about your PERIOD? Yes, I’m shouting the word period at you because so often we talk about periods in hushed voices and behind closed doors. But we can change that! Periods are an amazing part of our bodies and our health. Therefore, it’s time to start embracing your period!

Even if you’re at a stage of life where you don’t get your period yourself or you’ll never get a period because of your gender, chances are there is someone close to you in your life who has their period right now! By having an understanding and appreciation for periods you can help to create a period positive environment for everyone in your life who has their period.

Today, I want to share with you some background about our failings in embracing our periods. Then I will share the three ways I believe can help you to embrace your period. [Read more…]

I’m a firm believer in that idea that we never stop growing, working, or improving ourselves. No matter what goals we are working towards in our life, no matter how far we have come, and no matter how we define success, there is never an end to becoming a better version of yourself.

It can be tiring working on improving yourself day in and day out. Trust me, I know, I get it. The fact of the matter is that in order to become better we have to be willing to put in the hard work to get there. Some days will be easier than most, and some days will be harder than expected. However, it’s all a part of the process. The discipline of tirelessly working on bettering ourselves will always pay off in the end.

We just have to have the determination to make it so.

What is personal development?

To put it simply personal development is a way to assess your skills, set goals, and do everything you can under the sun to reach your full potential. It’s an uphill climb that can take years for you to achieve, and even once you’ve achieved it you never really stop reaching higher. Undergoing personal development is a lifelong process, and you will find yourself in this space of bettering yourself, many, many times throughout your life.

Something I have noticed over the years is if I don’t take the time to care for myself when I’m feeling extremely anxious, it intensifies.

The Best & Most Unique Self-Care Activities to Help With Managing Anxiety & Depression Part 1

Self-care, it’s a very important and vital part of our health, yet many of us neglect it. There are many reasons as to why, but I’m here to tell you it’s time to stop neglecting it. Engaging in self- care has many positive health benefits. Not just physically, but mentally, emotionally, and spiritually as well.

Physically, self-care ensures that we are treating and fueling our bodies to the best of our abilities. Mentally, self-care ensures that we are doing everything in our power to live in a blissful state of mind. This means we are looking after our mental health, we are challenging our minds, and most importantly we are keeping our brain healthy. Emotionally, self-care ensures that we are making ourselves a priority. Life gets busy and things get in the way, but that’s never an excuse to not make time for yourself. Finally spiritually, self-care ensures that we doing our best to live authentically.

For years I have neglected properly taking care of myself physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. A big part of this neglect was a combination of my severe anxiety and depression that I had sunk into as I experienced specific things in life. Another part of this was due to the fact that I didn’t understand what self-care was, or what it looked like. Together these two made me feel like taking care of myself wasn’t a priority, and so long as I wasn’t on the floor dying, I was ok.

I was wrong. [Read more…]

My Goals for the New Year

by

…and that’s a wrap!

As we get closer and closer to moving into the new year, I’ve been taking a lot of time to think about what I want my life to look like next year, and moving forward. This year hasn’t been the best year for me. In fact, if I’m being honest it’s probably been one of the worst years of my life. I’ll spare you the details but just know that there have been a lot of downs, and very few ups, and any ups that I did experience were immediately dominated by the many downs that were destined to soon follow.

I am a believer that everything happens for a reason and when it is meant to happen. So while 2018 wasn’t a good year for me at all I’m accepting of the fact that everything that I experienced this year, was meant to happen. It was all a part of a bigger plan for me, and most importantly it is these very experiences that are going to continue to help me become the best version of myself. [Read more…]
