I don't claim to be happy or mentally strong 24/7, but I'm doing my best and that's all you can ask of yourself.  My dream is to inspire anyone in any small way towards making healthier life choices. This means treating your mind, body, and spirit with the respect and love we all deserve.

Take control of your own life and happiness.

​

1) Realizing what it means to be a true friend
 I have dear people in my life that would literally do anything for me and truly want the best for me. Like any relationship, friendships are an equal partnership that require effort on both sides in order to thrive. Distance doesn't matter, if you are true friends, you'll be there for each other. 

​

2) Stop comparing yourself to others

It's human nature to compare yourself to others, but you just need to be aware of it. You will never be able to fully appreciate what you have if you are coveting what someone else has.

 

3) Acknowledge that other people's actions are a reflection of their own thoughts
Often times, when people say rude comments, it's a reflection of the negativity in their own head. 

​

4) Embrace the ability to walk away from things that aren't serving you
                            "Saying yes to happiness means learning to say no to the people and things that stress you out."
Stop looking for happiness in the same place you lost it. If someone doesn't appreciate you, stop wasting your energy on trying to please them because you will never get what you're looking for. This isn't selfish, it's just protecting and respecting yourself enough to remove yourself from bad situations.

​

The idea of change can be overwhelming, jarring, terrifying, and downright depressing at times. Sometimes we are so blindsided by a change that we can't fully appreciate it as an opportunity to evolve and grow. Maybe this event was necessary in order to prepare you for something even better. You can gain and learn from every experience. I don't necessarily believe that everything happens for a reason, but I do believe that you can make a reason for anything that happens. Meaning, you can't control everything that happens, but you can make each disappointment into something more valuable than that. Channel that negative energy towards building something even better. Change is an window for personal growth and to gain new perspective and experience. Don't lose hope, as transitions and change are what makes life exciting.                                                     When a door closes, a window opens. Hooray for change!
