May 18, 2021May 18, 2021by Olivia131 Comments

So many times I have started writing a list of things to be grateful for, and I have found that once you start writing, you cant stop listing the things that brings you joy. The act itself of starting to think, and acknowledge the good we have in life can be hard to start. Often times we are surrounded by negative things, and bad situations that it clouds out the good we actually have. Whenever I feel like I am going through a hard time, I find it so beneficial to remind myself of the good I have in life. The great people I am surrounded by. The job I have, the life I get to live. Those are the things that matter.

I Nearly Gave Up on Blogging & Here’s Why I Didn’t

May 10, 2021May 10, 2021by Olivia49 Comments

I nearly gave up on blogging, and I’m sure so many of you have too. I think so many of us bloggers go through phases of feeling like we want to quit and give up.

Blogging is really tough sometimes, and often it feels like the joy of it gets taken away when other things are going on. And don’t get me wrong, I really love what I do.

As I have gotten older, I have come to realise that there are various types of rest every person needs. Society has created this mentality in alot of people that we must keep going, work 24/7 otherwise we aren’t deemed as ‘successful.’ When of course, this isn’t the case at all. I’m such an advocate for resting when its needed. Whether it’s physical rest or something else.

Letting Go of Whats Not Meant For You

April 3, 2021November 1, 2023by Olivia57 Comments

Letting go and holding onto things that are not longer for us, can be draining emotionally and physically. I’ve been through this so many times when it comes to friendships, relationships, job promotions, you name it. Its funny because we often realise and know its no longer for us, yet we hold onto it with everything we have inside of us. We try to make it work, because we think it’s what is meant for us. When reality is, if everything around is you telling you it’s not for you. Then it’s probably not for you. I don’t know what it is that you’re holding onto, but I am right there with you.
