GOOOD MORNING beautiful people!!🤗✨ Your girl is finally emerging from the depths of essays, presentations and excessive fatigue and ready to catch up with you all! Here is what I’ve been up to the past few weeks. My mom came to visit! We had the BEST time exploring nearby bars and restaurants, going on long walks, and having some good old college fun on Saturday. I’ve been struggling a bit in the health department (physically and mentally) but am getting the help I need and feeling much better! Stay tuned for more on the mental side of things in a few videos My newest YT video is going live TOMORROW!!! Stay tuned! It’s a good one. My freelancing biz is going great!!! I’m SO excited to take on some more clients in the spring and continue saving 💰💰 before my traveling adventure begins in 2020! What’s been going on with YOU?? Comment below and let us know! 🤗

A few months ago, I finally sat down and thought about what exactly I wanted my life to look like. Not what society expects it to be, not what I was taught as the “right” path to go down, but a life that brings ME the most joy, passion and meaning. A life that pushes me out of bed in the morning, charged with purpose and an insatiable desire to reach my full potential – at which point I could positively impact the world around me. FINDING MY PURPOSE has made me a more driven, motivated and confident person than I ever thought possible at my age, and I want to share how I got here with you guys… which is why I’ve made an entire video dedicated to finding your purpose in 4 simple steps. Following these steps has completely transformed my life, and I know that they can for you too if you give it a shot. ✨➡️ My video is officially LIVE so go and click the link in my bio!

Want to know my NUMBER ONE TIP for getting all my work done quickly and efficiently?! ✨➡️ Then head on over to the link in my bio to watch another PRODUCTIVE SUNDAY ROUTINE on my YouTube channel! As most of you know, I absolutely love Sundays to reset and start my week off on the right foot. I usually spend it grocery shopping, cleaning, meal prepping, and of course… knocking out a TON of work that piled up the week before! 🙌🏼 Now HOW am I able to do all of these things in just one day? I’ll tell you how… in my brand new YouTube video. In addition to my top strategy for work efficiency, I also included two of my FAV healthy snack recipes AND a quick intro of my three best friends! 😉 You don’t want to miss this video, especially if you need some inspo to kick start your week. ❤️ Happy Sunday, everyone!

HOW TO FIND BALANCE. I came into this year determined to balance my classes, freelancing job, and blogging/ future career goals… all while maintaining healthy habits and a social life. Why? Because I’ve been at the point where achieving a certain goal was ALL I cared about, and in the process, I forgot to take care of myself and my mental wellbeing. The result? Not pretty. When you are working toward a certain goal or career path, it is crucial that you tend to your basic physiological and psychological needs FIRST. 💙 That includes spending time with loved ones, taking time to recharge, and making room for the things you love. Without these, you are more likely to resent the process of achieving your goals and even burn out before you get there. So HOW DO WE FIND BALANCE? ✨ Here are three tips that have worked for me – 1. Reframe your mindset around success. ➡️ Instead of viewing self care as stupid or unimportant, frame it as a tool to make you more capable of achieving your goals. As I said earlier, you can’t do one without the other. 2. Write down THREE THINGS that make you happy. 🤗 Not related to work or school; just three things that bring you joy. Now, prioritize them. 3. SCHEDULE EVERYTHING. This may seem counterintuitive, but if you block out an hour of your day to call your mom, go to the gym, or even watch a Netflix show, it will begin to fit with your goals and you’ll feel less guilty about doing it. How do you find balance in your life? 🌟❤️

A HUGE goal of mine this year is embracing change and being thankful for the present moment. Yesterday was my first day of senior year... a day that I literally can’t believe is here. I may or may not have already shed a tear at the thought of leaving the school and people that changed my life forever, but instead of being sad that it’s coming to an end, I’m focusing on being GRATEFUL. I’ve always struggled with change. Even thinking about future changes can make me anxious. So I’m really trying to be as present and thankful as possible for what my life is right now. Not next semester. Not in five years. RIGHT NOW. I’m gonna soak up each and every second I have left at Elon, starting TODAY! What is something awesome happening in your life today?

Something that I see people doing – and I am definitely guilty of it myself – is ATTACHING THEIR WORTH TO EXTERNAL THINGS. Whether it’s your job title, income level, # of Insta followers, or how well your product sold on the market, associating your self worth to things OUTSIDE of yourself can become toxic, even leading to depressive and shameful feelings about ourselves. I was reading through @brenebrown’s book “Daring Greatly” last week and came across a passage that made me stop dead in my tracks. Here’s the gist of it: ––––––––––––––––––– Equating self worth to your job title or income level is the death of innovation – innovation of your own personal growth and innovation of whatever industry you’re in. ––––––––––––––––— Just think about how FREEING it would be to let go of the false idea that external success is the one thing that makes us a good and worthy person, and just DO THE DAMN THING. I don’t care what anyone has told you in the past; you are SO much more than your career or job title. What defines you is your everyday actions; your kindness and openness; your love for others and your willingness to try new things. Let’s stop treating a job title like it’s God. Because it’s not. Let go of the fear of failure because guess what? If you do fail, you’re still the same person you were before! The only regret you’ll have is NOT going for it, so just take the risk. Travel the world. Become an entrepreneur. Study anthropology. Whatever you want to do, just do it wholeheartedly.
