Write about your first name: its meaning, significance, etymology, etc.
Refer to my last post as to why I haven’t answered this question as well. I feel like my name isn’t very common so it’s easy to find me. And again, not important enough to want to be found, but this is just how my brain operates LOL
Name an attraction or town close to home that you still haven’t got around to visiting.
This right here will show you how paranoid I am. I refuse to actually answer this prompt because I don’t want anyone to figure out or know where I live LOL. Like I had an answer and I’m like anyone could google and figure out a close proximity to where I am. I’m not even known or important enough for anyone to want to do that, but this is how my brain operates.
I only answered it because I haven’t been getting any new prompts and I’m theorizing it’s because I haven’t answered a few, but also it could be just because it’s the end of the month!
I’ve been purposely ignoring the news and the internet, and I am aware that is a privilege to be able to just turn it all off. My mental health deteriorates when I constantly focus on negativity and fear-based content, and lately that’s all the news seems to be (at least from what I am hearing from people around me).
People feel the need to watch the news to stay informed and society tells them they’re a bad citizen if they aren’t paying attention, but are we even getting correct information? How can one news channel have such different perspectives and views than the other? Where are just the facts and the resources?
This is why I don’t participate, and instead I am focusing on my own health and well-being. I can’t very well help anyone in this world if my own cup isn’t even full- and that’s a common problem I’m seeing. Everyone is stressed and scared, so they’re on a constant loop of scrolling and watching in the name of “being informed,” but it’s mentally exhausting and crippling everyone from actually being able to use a rational headspace to just pause and think.
Making yourself physically ill from consuming traumatic images and videos constantly is NOT helping the world or society. Scaring yourself into a panic attack or any impulsive decisions is NOT helping the world or society. Society may be pressuring you to consume, but remember who is benefiting from that. Fear sells, but love wins.
We need to pause and regroup back into love and light. Recognize the blessings and come together with compassion and curiosity. Open your mind and hearts to a new and better future, one where humans care for one another and we no longer equate money to power. I’m calling on the universe to show us that love truly does conquer all, and I am leaning into faith over fear.
I am calling in self-love and self-discipline that allows me to live the life I truly want to live.
I am calling in a positive mindset and good energy that allows me to overcome the negativity.
I am calling in a sense of self trust that allows me to fully let go of what is beyond my control, and reminds me that I always make it through.
Write about a few of your favorite family traditions.
Is it weird that I’ve avoided this post because it kinda makes me sad. I feel like there weren’t a lot of family traditions growing up in my family. Like we celebrated the holidays and I know for Christmas I could always open one gift on Christmas Eve, and I remember having Easter egg/basket hunts at my grandparents house, but other than that nothing comes to mind.
One tradition we currently have is getting together with our family to do a white elephant exchange every January as our late Christmas celebration! I do enjoy doing that, however this was likely the last year for the gift exchange, but we are still planning to all get together. Idk if we count a family girls trip every year as a tradition, but it has been happening for a few years now so I guess it is one!
Okay so I guess this prompt wasn’t that sad- and the good news is we can always make new traditions!
I am only in control of myself and my mindset, and I choose a life of gratitude and peace.
I am blessed to have a job, and I do well at my job. I am choosing to stay in my lane and focus on my own goals.
I am thankful to have a respectful, loving, hardworking husband, and I’m so happy we are married.
I am grateful that I woke up in a cozy bed, in a warm home with a roof over my head. I pray that all humans are able to have proper shelter and are protected during the colder seasons.
Overall my life is full of blessings and abundance, and I can feel my angels surrounding me. I am thankful for today.
What books do you want to read?
I have a few books in my Amazon wishlist, but I actually just finished Verity by Colleen Hoover yesterday and now I’m very interested in reading more of her work. A lot of the ones on my list are self-improvement books, and I do still want to read those, but I am also not trying to make myself this never-ending project. Adding in some suspenseful fiction was fun, and I plan to do more of that!
I took a quick pause from making our lunches for the week to post in here. I’ve been feeling pretty bleh lately, but luckily I am aware that this feeling isn’t going to last forever. Today I’m still doing what I need to do to set myself up for the week, and for that I am proud.
I purposely made zero plans this weekend just to use it as a reset, and it has been exactly that. Yesterday my husband and I went out for a breakfast date and grabbed a few necessities from Walmart, but we spent our Saturday night in hanging out together. This morning we slept in and then went out and grabbed some Starbucks!
Spending time with my husband and just being in our home is such a blessing, and I am grateful for this life of ours. Wishing everyone a happy Sunday filled with blessings and love! 🤍✨
I have been on a social media break since the beginning of December. One of the accounts I really liked on Instagram has an email signup where they send daily affirmations, so I had signed up over a year ago and I continue to get them. Todays affirmation from Moon Omens was as follows:
“I trust that what is meant
for me is on its way. I am in
alignment with my life path.
I embrace the unknown.
I choose love over fear.”
I definitely needed this today, as I have just been in a little funk with this winter season. I also have been dealing with different health conditions like flu, uti and possible tonsillitis. We also had to take one of our cats to the vet yesterday, so today we will get results from her blood and urine. I’ve just been feeling a bit overwhelmed and when I read this I resonated with it. I figured I also can take this and put my own personal twist on it:
I trust that what is meant for me is on its way; I am allowed to release all of my worries and let go of control.
I am in alignment with my life path, even when I am not feeling 100% myself, I can trust this is all happening for me and a higher plan.
I embrace the unknown, and lean in with curiosity. This had me immediately think of another other quote I stumbled upon recently that says “The only true wisdom is knowing you know nothing.” I am allowed to dive into the unknown and let go of the need to appear smart or perfect.
I choose love over fear. I think we’ve all heard the phrase “the only thing to fear is fear itself,” and that is because if you let it, fear can completely take you over. I’d much prefer to live a life where I see through a lens of love and compassion rather than fear and hatred.
I’m using this weekend as a reset. I want to get back in a good headspace and focus on my goals- I am honestly very excited for it. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! Sending extra love and positive vibes to everyone!
What do you enjoy doing most in your leisure time?
Honestly I love having conversations with good friends. Whether we Facetime or we go grab a coffee or go for a walk, I love catching up and just sharing our experiences about life and learning from one another.
Considering I also thrive in isolation, I love to make picture collages/vision boards and I love to write. I also enjoy watching trashy reality TV shows LOL!
