As our day tends to flow, there are many obstacles we face. The world will always throw something at you that you aren't ready for. It comes in all shapes and sizes, but each day has obstacles. I've learned, over time, that each obstacle that shows up is just another part of life. I…
Today is my first day at my internship. Naturally, I have some butterflies. Those butterflies aren't rooted in fear - just the uncomfortable feeling of doing something new. When new opportunities come into our lives, we have to realize we don't know much at that moment about what we are doing. We have to be…
It's always funny to catch yourself in the midst of thought. I find myself "spaced out" in thought sometimes - then I realize I'm doing it and snap out of it. I've always tried to maintain focus when I'm diving into my thoughts. Lately, I haven't had to catch myself in the middle of…
Yesterday, I started to plan for my final semester of college (I can't believe it started today!). I've always loved planning things out and maintaining organization. It always seems to bring me a sense of peace, a sense of control, and de-stresses my life. However, a thought crossed my mind as I was…
"Patience is a virtue." As I've discussed before, I have been in a period where I've had to wait for things to come. I knew they were coming (and they were good things), but I couldn't do anything about them because it wasn't time yet. Now that the time has come for these things…

As I continue to reflect on my goals/reminders for myself in 2020 and look at my current to-do list, things can become stressful. I don't handle stress the best, but I start to handle it better when I take a step back... So that's what I did today. The step back I took today…
2020 has arrived! I am super excited about the upcoming year, as I have a lot going on that I can't want to be a part of. When I was thinking about my personal, health, and work goals for 2020, I started to write them as resolutions... things I wanted to "change" or "add"…
Over the past 24 hours, I've been very critical of myself. I am being nitpicky about what I want to be better at, what I need to "fix". Originally, it was solely in a negative outlook. I was looking at these things in my life and viewing them as "you're not good enough". It…
