SIGNS YOU WERE ALWAYS MEANT TO BE A WRITER
I read a post on Thought Catalog called, “17 Signs You Were Always Meant To Be A Writer“ and wanted to share five of my favourite points (all are soooooo true): 1. You know the pure ecstasy of filling out the last page in a journal and retiring it to the sacred area you store your other weathered-down journals. (Furthermore, you know the pure ecstasy of, then, opening the first page of a new journal and how it represents a whole new world of possibility.) 2. After a few days of not writing, you start to become irritated, frustrated, and you have this sensation of being emotionally backed-up. Once you start writing—after, presumably, procrastinating the writing for minimum two hours—you suddenly feel freer, lighter, and more at ease. 3. If someone pulls out a quote of your writing to compliment your writing skills, you fall in love with them a little bit in that moment. 4. You have never let your life be easy. You have willingly sludged through your past pain, welcomed in breakdowns, …

First step: Need to marry super handsome and successful American man (flexible on the handsome). 2. I WILL get my first full-time PAID job. …Couldn’t be happier or more proud. 3. I WILL eat healthier. …I started taking vitamins, cut down on alcohol consumption and learned to make delicious, nutritious meals. Pat on the back for me. 4. I WILL admit and apologize when I’m wrong. …I’m getting better. I’ll roll my eyes when apologizing, but I’m apologizing nonetheless. Take what you can get. 5. I WILL (not only) shake-hands with new people I meet, but genuinely try to get to know them. I want to ask as many people who influence me to give me a list of their favourite books, songs and movies so I can introduce myself to new …
Tips to avoid becoming stressed or overwhelmed
Here’s the latest blog post I wrote for Lotus Leaf Style! 🙂 When deadlines and due dates are prominent in your work schedule, you rarely have time for yourself. The thrill of a busy office can keep you on your toes, but let’s take a moment to look at the state of your chipped nails and how the only new bags you’re carrying, are the ones under your eyes. #HotMess Don’t worry, we’ve all been there. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed or high levels of anxiety when it comes to deadlines or stressing whether you’re even doing a good job. You have high expectations of yourself and your work, but if you want to be more productive, you need to be selfish, take yourself away for a moment and concentrate on you! Here are a few tips that can help you de-stress in times in need: 1) Learn to say “NO!” As I previously mentioned, being selfish can be one of the best things you can do for yourself. Whether your neighbour is asking to help paint their garage this weekend or your demanding boyfriend/girlfriend …
