4 Ways To Deal With Unkind People Gracefully

September 18, 2020November 1, 2023by Olivia97 Comments

You’re probably reading this title, like Olivia why would I want to show grace to people who are unkind? Well, research shows that there are several reasons why someone is a mean or unkind person. A lot of it has to do with how people have treated them in the past, a lack of self confidence, treating you how they feel about themselves – this is called projection and various other psychological reasons. I think that unkind people need the most love. It can be hard to do this, because how can you force yourself to show someone love who was mean to you? Well todays post talks about how we can take steps to be more graceful to others.

How To De-Stress Your Stress

September 12, 2020November 1, 2023by Olivia59 Comments

[Guest Post]

Hi everyone, I’m Shelly, an obsessive millennial that gets anxious with anything and everything. Ok that was a bit of an exaggeration, but it is how I feel at the moment. Most people have enjoyed the slowdown that came along with the COVID-19 pandemic and to be honest, I did too… Until I decided to take on blogging full time while working as an essential worker and raising a busy toddler. Don’t worry, this post isn’t a pity party- I’m very happy with everything I have chosen to do which you can read all about on GrowingWithSpawn.com. As overwhelming as it is, I do love my three jobs – yes, three, because that is what it feels like. I’ve spent the last few months searching for ways to make sure that I am able to dedicate enough time to each of my jobs without getting burnt out. So today, I’m here to share with you a few tips and tricks that I have learned to de-stress that stress.

How I Survived a Seven Day Digital Detox And What I Learnt From It

September 3, 2020November 1, 2023by Olivia51 Comments

[Guest Post]

Answer this before you read on – When did you first check your phone today?

Hi! My name is Pranjali Jain, from Dainty Palms. I write about mental health and lifestyle- trying to inspire others and myself to be the best possible version of ourselves. Today I am going to share my experience and the importance of digital detox with y’all. Thank you, Olivia, for the opportunity to bring this forward!

A week ago, I did a seven-day long digital detox, wherein I shut my social media handles and my blog for a break. The pressure of posting anything, replying, and being active was too much to handle. And I think I am not the only one to face this. So, if your answer to the question was close to “within an hour of waking up”, you probably need a digital detox.

How to Make Your Blog Posts More Relatable

September 2, 2020November 1, 2023by Olivia56 Comments

Relatable blog content can be defined as any content that the reader can relate to. Thats what I try to do with my own blogging content. I try to make sure that it’s a real life issue that people are going through, or that it’s something I would like to learn myself if I am providing tips and advice. I think it’s important as a writer to believe in what you are saying. How can I expect my readers to relate to something when I don’t even relate to it myself?

Thank You For One Thousand

August 28, 2020August 28, 2020by Olivia132 Comments

I didn’t even know how to start this post. Because I was not quite prepared for me to hit this milestone so quickly. From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for choosing to follow me. I restarted this blog at the beginning of July with 160 followers and no idea what I was doing (still don’t) and here I am on the 28th July hitting 1,000 followers. I never once thought this would happen and so soon.

I am still learning and making mistakes and still will. Theres always so much to learn with anything, especially blogging. Thank you for sticking with me. I hope that this can continue, and I hope this community of people can build up into an army of positive, self confident, kind humans. 💕

Special thanks to those that are constantly supporting, liking and commenting words of encouragement. You know who you are. And special thanks to those who have featured on my blog by doing guest posts. They really are so enjoyable and I love getting to know each of you through the process.

Thanks so much!

Ten Blog Awards in One

August 8, 2020by Olivia79 Comments

Thank you thank you thank you thank you to all that have nominated me for a blog award! I got so many awards this week it was impossible to post them all individually so I decided to do a collective post of them all.

I really appreciate the fact that I got nominated for all of these awards. When I started blogging in 2015 i had really made no connections with people or even tried to. I got low interactions and low traffic because it didn’t even cross my mind i’d need to interact with other bloggers to grow. I’m so thankful and glad to have met so many lovely people. And I love that we get to share our blogging journeys together!

Just for info, it would be impossible to answer all questions in one post, so I’m going to say thank you to those that nominated me and leave links to their blogs instead. I think showing some blogger love back to you all is needed!
