6 Ways To Start Your Self Discovery Journey

07/09/2022

For years now, the idea self discovery has become something that alot of people have tried to obtain. We hear about people going through breakups and transitioning into new chapters in their life, and all they’re trying to do is find themselves again.

Recently I feel like I’ve been going through that. Every few years, I feel as though I transform and change into a different version of myself. Even 6 months ago, the person I was then isn’t who I am now. And I guess thats the beauty of growing as a human. But, what does it mean to try and find yourself? I’ve been trying to figure that out myself.

Training For A Half Marathon

19/04/2022

Hello I’m Sarah and I’m training for a half marathon! I blog over at www.sunshinesarahxo.com where I’ve been documenting my running journey and my somewhat crazy decision to enter not one, but TWO half marathons this year, after graduating from the Couch to 5K in April 2021.

4 Things I’ve Learnt From Living By Myself

21/02/2022

It’s not often I write about personal things on my blog, but today I thought I’d switch it up and tell you all about how I have found living by myself. For the last 26 years of my life, I have lived in the same home. The same four walls and with the same people. My siblings moved out (I am the youngest) and it was then me and my parents for a while. I always felt so comfortable living where I lived, it was home.

How To Adjust To New Seasons Of Life

09/02/2022

I remember the first time I heard someone use the phrase new seasons of life. And I really loved how it sounded. Whenever I go through new changes or circumstances in life, I often now refer to them as new seasons of life. And recently I went through one myself. Often they are hard to navigate, and hard to come to terms with. But ultimately they are important and needed to help us to grow as people.

7 Things I Learnt About Myself In 2021

05/01/2022

There are so many things I learnt about myself in 2021. It was such a year of growth and change for me in so many ways. As some of you know, I embarked on a physical change this past year in becoming a healthier me. During that process I have learnt so much about myself. Even during the pandemic, I think alot of us realised how strong we actually are as people. This past year has been such a large growing opportunity for me. And it’s been hard but something I know needed to happen.

Picking Yourself Back Up

06/12/2021

Often the thought of picking yourself back up after going through something tough is hard. The last thing you want to do is all of the things you used to love. Whenever I’m going through something, its the things I love doing that are the first to go.

Going through a hard time can really make you want to give up and not try again. We have all been there, you may even be there right now. Sometimes it can feel helpless no matter what the situation is. I don’t know what you’re going through, and I may even be preaching to myself here. But you will pick yourself back up, and things will get easier for you.

Behind The Blog: Get To Know Me Better

09/11/2021

It’s been a while since I have done any sort of get to know me better posts, so here it is! I write about so many advice posts and share some aspects of my life, but I really want to get more comfortable and open up more about me as a person. I think its so important as a person who writes on the internet that I allow you into my life sometimes. Although my blog and personal life are separate, I really enjoy letting you guys have a glimpse into my world. And personally, I love reading about other bloggers and their lives too.
