“A world in which self-care has to be such a trendy topic, is a world that is sick.” I stumbled upon an article regarding self-care and how it is so widely preached and practiced. And it came to my attention that I feel as though some individuals still misinterpret what “self-care” truly means. It’s not all about the face masks
Who is the person you spend the most time with? Take a second to think about your answer to this question. Maybe it’s a parent, friend, significant other, or a pet. Now think again, who do you truly spend the most time with? The answer to that is: yourself! That’s why it is critical to take care of yourself and
Good health is not just the absence of physical disease, it is the state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being. It aids in determining how we, as individuals, handle stress, enjoy life, and make choices. You will not have a healthy body if it’s not accompanied by a healthy mind. When we are free of depression, anxiety, addictions, or stress, we
We often spend our time wishing for some future experience to happen, or dwelling on what we could have done differently in the past. For me, personally, I overthink events that have already happened, dwelling on times where I have been hurt, and thinking of people who are no longer in my life anymore. Moreover, I can spend a lot
This is it everyone. The last few days of the year 2017. The last hoorah. It’s been one hell of a year. With memories that I wouldn’t trade for the world. Would I say that this was the best year of my life? No. Would I say it was the most eventful? Hell yes. I’ve endured the hardest battles, and
Fall back. Instead of overanalyzing every single waking moment of your life, sit back and watch everything unravel clearly in front of you. We are all so quick to find the missing piece of life’s big puzzle. But sometimes, stepping back to look at the big picture is what solves it. Fall back and let life take its course. You
So, there I was, at Olive Garden, on December 2nd talking to my sister, Paula, about wanting to redecorate my room. And here’s what she said: “Pia, you’re actually a hoarder, maybe you should write a blog post about minimalism and follow through with it.” So… here I am…writing a blog..about minimalism… Minimalism isn’t just about “stuff”. It’s also clearing
Happiness. It comes and goes like waves. All our lives, we strive to achieve “happiness”. Happiness is something that is not truly defined, but somehow, it is something everyone strives for. We are in the “pursuit of happiness”. Some people have said that happiness cannot be measured on its own, but rather, must be weighed against other more measurable values, such
The days become shorter, the temperature gets colder, and we’re stuck inside trying to stay warm. The winter season can take a huge toll in our everyday lives. We can get stuck in a routine of oversleeping, and sluggishness. I’ve always noticed that during this time of the year, I tend to be less motivated, tired, and just not as
I’ve recently stumbled upon the quote: “By practicing self-awareness and pausing before reacting, we can help create a world with less pain and more love.” ~Lori Deschene This quote really settled in with me and it had me thinking. We often find ourselves in stressful situations, reacting in ways we regret, or saying things we truly didn’t mean in the
