Day 9 

Journal Away:


Sometimes you may feel frustrated, stressed, or just want to get something off your chest but there isn't anyone there at that present moment to do so. This is when you turn to your journal; a place where you can get your most intimate details of your life out, on paper, and explain it how you want to. 

Do you ever try to explain something verbally and it just doesn't come out right? (my life) Well when you write something down, you have the time to process and decide how you are going to explain it. 

Don't get me wrong, you do not need to journal just when things are going wrong; you should journal about anything and everything. For example, you could journal how you feel in that present moment, how your day went, what you experienced that day, what you want for your life, or things you dream about. 

 I started journaling by the recommendation of my partner when I was going through a really depressive time in my life. He told me to do it every night before bed. I thought it sounded ridiculous; it just was not something I ever thought was actually an effective tool for people, especially for me. 

 But I tried it, and it felt great! I will admit, my lifestyle has become a little chaotic lately so I have not been on top of my journaling lately!

 SO! -Challengers- we will do this together! Below I found some awesome lists off Pinterest that give some great journaling ideas; I always get super stuck on what to write and will sometimes find myself just complaining about things and that is NOT what I want to do or want you to do because remember this is all about positivity and self love! But if you need to complain, get something off your chest or like I was before, going through a really hard time, this is a great place to discuss what is going on. Just don't forget to add some positivity in there as well. 

 So starting tonight (or tomorrow if you need to go get a journal) let us start writing together! 

 Share what your first post was about!

 xoxo

Stay Sexy, Don't Get Murdered: The Podcast That Created a Community

Image
For as long as I can remember I have been obsessed with true crime. But it wasn't always appropriate or in the norm to share your love of serial killer documentaries or how many "I Survived" episodes you have watched. My Favorite Murder, the podcast starring Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark aired January 13, 2016 the first pod called, "My Firstest Murder." Since the start of this podcast an entire community has began and my sense, and thousands of others sense of feeling inappropriate is totally out the window. All of us "Murderinos" as we now like to refer to ourselves, realize there are so many people out there who.... love murder. I know that sounds awful but if you are a murderino you know exactly what I am trying to say. To break it down, Karen and Georgia are two comedians who discuss a murder they chose, weekly. They do research on a particular murder, kidnap, or just terrifying story and give the raw details while remaining hyster

Day 5

Chose your company wisely. Surrounding yourself with people who bring you joy is important. It not only brings positivity to your life but it also brings balance. There are going to be days you aren't feeling so great and you need to have some people in your life that make things worth the while. So today, get together or just give someone a call you haven't seen in a while that brings you positive energy. It doesn't have to be someone you haven't talked to in years ( or it can be ) or it can be someone you just saw a few weeks ago. Get a little positivity life refresher from someone who matters.

Day 25

We have come so far on this journey of self love! I hope that if you have read one or all these posts you have felt some what of a change in how you view yourself.  Today we are focusing on learning something new. It is a glorious Sunday morning which indicates to me, anything is possible. So today decide what it is that you want to learn! It could be something simple, or something a little more challenging that today might be the start of your learning adventure.  Some examples could be learning a new way to cook, a new exercise, painting, learning another language; the options are endless! Something you don't know how to do today is something you can learn how to do.  I found an awesome 8 step tutorial on Pinterest on watercolor painting! It looks so fun and it's something I have never tried before. I also have always wanted to learn how to do that beautiful handwriting people can do?! It's just stunning the way people can write and create beautiful pieces just by simply
