Stop Making Excuses, Make Improvements

 If you've been following along since the last post, hello again! If you haven't, go read the post :) 

I haven't been in the gym since the first month of college, basically since I've gotten a job. My current strategy is to locate what my free time looks like outside of classes and work next semester. Honestly, if it means waking up around 6 so be it! It would only be 3 days out of my whole week. 

You may wonder why am I planning how I am going to make time for the gym next semester. Well, why do you think I started writing this blog? Just another example of how hobbies can benefit your productivity and overall wellbeing! I, just like my viewers, strive to be more productive every day. Of course sometimes you'll have an off day and your body needs rest. Give yourself the appropriate time you need, and get back to it! 

Additionally, exercise is so important to the human body. When I was in the gym 3-5 days a week, my body felt so much more energetic, I slept better, I ate better, and of course I felt better. This is something I value so much in my life and I have definitely noticed the changes since I have not been exercising. 

So, the game plan is to 1. find when I would regularly have the time to go. Planning things out helps me to feel more organized, and I love crossing things off a checklist. Next, ensure I go. Exercise is not always about motivation, it's more about discipline. I know I will have to keep this up for at least a month before my body starts to crave it again. 

Anyways, I am so happy I got to share my random thoughts with you all. Thank you so much for reading, I hope you could relate to something in my posts. As always, stay positive :)

You Don’t Have to Join the 5 AM Club to be More Productive

Let’s be real, it can be difficult for the majority of us to follow the tips of influencers who have time to join the 5 AM club. Believe it or not, there are other ways to begin your journey to building healthy habits that will make it easier to reach your goals! Keep in mind: a start doesn’t have to be a huge adjustment to your life. My favorite first three baby-steps are: 1. Charge your phone on the opposite side of your room.  Unless you’re a first responder, you likely don’t need  your smartphone right beside your bed. Turn up your alarm ringer, and charge your phone where you have to physically get out of bed to turn off your alarm.  2. Make your bed before you start scrolling through your phone.  The first thing you do in the morning can really impact how the rest of your day will go. I think we can all agree that scrolling through your emails or social media is not an ideal way to start a productive day. Make your bed and preface your morning with something ...

Lets Start Here: Why is it so Hard to Have Healthy Habits?

Do you notice how so many millennials are often on the hot topic of "simpler times"? Back when technology wasn't a distraction, kids were out and told to "be home by dark", and cars used CDs and cassette tapes for music. Everything changed, but why? Convenience. The modern market is intensely driven by how they can make anything more convenient for buyers. Smartphones and applications; you can have dinner delivered to your door at the quick click of a few buttons. You can purchase something from a different country and it will be at your doorstep by the weekend. Instead of maintaining a healthy lifestyle to lose weight, you can get surgery instead. What about fast food? Inflation has made it faster, cheaper, and lower in quality - it's more convenient. A multitude of people, especially those who never knew what simpler times were, don't recognize the detrimental effects of the broad spectrum of convenient changes and products that are spoon-fed to us eve...

Boost Your Happiness! Use these 3 Steps Daily.

Your happiness and overall mental health and well-being can impact how productive your days are. Everyone has bad days, whether it's stressful deadlines at work, school, or conflict with someone close to you. They've happened to all of us and I promise they won't stop! It's out of our control, but our daily habits aren't. A habit is a practice that becomes a tendency, like brushing your teeth or making your bed in the morning. Healthy habits can make a positive impact on your productivity, so   why not try starting some to keep our mental health in check? Journaling is helpful, but it can be hard to keep up with. Luckily, there are easier ways! I find that a little spoon of gratitude can help your mindset.  1. Start the day with gratitude. I was raised with a parent who never stopped reminding my siblings and me how fortunate we are to have a home with electricity, fresh food, a car, clothes, etc. Remind yourself in the morning how lucky you are to have all  of  the...
