Hello and welcome to my complicated world! You can call me Elle. I’m a whimsical, unique, caring, slightly introverted and charismatic, and somewhat animated type of person with versatile interests. There’s so many sides to me you would think I that I was a Gemini. Lol. 🙂 I’m also a former college grad that seems to get a little lost in the world. I’ve been a student majority of my whole life, and I’m finally starting a new chapter. To be honest college was not a breeze for me. It took way over 4 years for me to graduate, and it took over two years before I got my masters. It feels so weird not referring to myself as a student anymore. Now I’m starting a new chapter in life. I started this blog because I know there’s others like me, and I want to let them know that they’re not alone. It’s hard feeling lost at this age, but I am determined to make it. As the saying goes: “I just gotta make it!”
About a week ago I was listening to a podcast with Melissa Fredericks, and she mentioned how she’s going to start having Main Character Energy all year long. The truth is, some of us are playing supporting roles in our own life when we should be playing the leading role. We are the star in … More Main Character Energy! (No longer playing the Supporting Role in My Own Life)
The other day I was thinking about the quarter-life crisis. A quarter-life crisis is a period of uncertainty and questioning about life and your future. It feels like a period of constant soul-searching and trying to figure out this thing called Life. It’s actually pretty common for 25-year-olds to feel this way, but you don’t … More The Quarter-Life Crisis … Been There!
It’s been almost 30 days since my last post. I haven’t really had much to say this month. I’ve had this blog for some time now, and I recorded a lot of the bad and the ugly within this journey. Quite frankly, I just didn’t want to bring more negativity to this blog (even though … More Life Update (Self-Care, Stocks/Investing and New Projects)
The other day I was scrolling on Instagram and I came across the quote: Working hard for something we don’t care about is called stress. Working hard for something we love is called passion. My first initial reaction was “Wow, That’s very true!” Most of us can relate to that. Anyone who is NOT working … More Working Hard? Stress vs Passion!
Yesterday I came across a photo on Instagram mentioning 5 hobbies that we need. I found this to be interesting because I currently partake in all 5 hobbies. In the photo they suggest that you have a hobby that makes you money, keep you in shape, keep you creative, build knowledge and evolve your mindset. … More 5 Hobbies that You Need
The other night I was thinking about the time when I was made peace about giving up on my degree. At that time most of my fellow classmates had already graduated a year or two before I hit the wall. I felt so behind. My loans could no longer cover my tuition and all … More When You Think It’s Over . . . and then the shift happens!
Recently I’ve been heavily into streaks and making sure that I do certain tasks every single day. If a day comes to an end and I haven’t done what I “suppose” to do I panic and try to hurry up and rush through it before the day ends. The whole process kind of reminds … More The downside of maintaining Streaks (Break it!)
Today I had to remind myself that real change doesn’t happen overnight. It’s hard to break old habits. It’s going to take more than 60 days to break a 15-year habit. I’ve been saying my affirmations everyday and reading more self-help books. I watch motivational videos all the time, and in the moment I … More Real Change Doesn’t Happen Overnight (And that’s okay)
How much do you give? When it comes to others in need or a small gesture to someone to let them know that you’re thinking of them. Giving is probably my love language that I like to do. My love languages are Affirmations and Physical Touch, but the love language I express to others … More Give and it Shall be Given unto You
Today I was listening to one of those motivational videos. The guy giving the speech was saying how most people do not know how to make decisions, and you have to know how to make decisions. He mentioned how successful people knows how to make fast decisions. If you really want something you have to … More Start Learning How to Make Decisions and Watch Your Life Change!
