Year of the blog: Day #33 - Evolve or remain.

February 4th, 2018

Day #33

If life didn't challenge us or throw unexpected curve balls at us...it would be boring. We wouldn't grow. Not to say we don't deserve a happy and comfortable life. But it is to say... we need to have periods intermittent growth throughout all stages of our life- and that growth comes not only with the ups of life, but also with the downs. It's often through the rough patches where we get to know ourselves more. Learn to be comfortable in uncomfortable situations. Learn to be comfortable to say no to things that don't feed your joy peace or happiness. We won't always get our way- but we can learn make the best of what life throws at us and adapt.

You are being presented with a choice: evolve or remain. If you choose to remain unchanged, you will be presented with the same challenges, the same routine, the same storms and situations until you learn from them. Until you love yourself enough to say, 'no more.' Or better yet, until you choose change.

If you choose to evolve, you will connect with the strength within you, you will explore what lies outside the comfort zone. You will awaken to love, and have everything you need.

Choose to evolve. Choose to love. Choose love.

It's okay to not be okay.

This hasn’t been the easiest of posts for me to write. I’m pretty sure I’ve deleted more words than I’ve written and I’m still not sure if what I’m trying to actually say makes any lick of sense either but if you’ve been in my shoes, hopefully you’ll understand. As a person who has lost many family and friends, I should be a natural at this. I’ve been preparing myself for the emotional rollercoaster, I read blogs on grieving, books, gravitate toward my 'safe places' such as Disney, Harry Potter, Star Wars and of course, writing. Losing someone you care about isn't easy. But I didn’t expect it to be this hard either.  I’m glad that at this point in time, society has been speaking more openly about mental health. I’m thankful that there are resources available for them when they need the help. I’m grateful for the awareness that is out there now amongst peers and teachers and others in authority. I can’t say enough how thankful I am to those who are...

Proactive Pokémon GO

Are you team Pokémon Go or team Pokémon No? I, for one, am definitely team Pokémon Go! I am thrilled that this game is out, not only to bring back my childhood love of Pokémon but to bring more activity into my day. I know many can agree. It's great to see that phones are finally learning from Wii and Kinect. Combining physical activity and video games is a very smart move with this generation.  Finally, Pokémon Go is released in Canada (as of yesterday). I don't think I've ever been more excited for an app or a game.  Even though the app has proven frustrating for most, with servers down, distracted drivers and walkers, those truly determined to be the very best (that no one ever was) persevered and are now joining their respective teams and battling other users.  But besides benefitting your health (and your Pokémon training skills), do you ever think about how you can help others benefit too?  Here are some ideas to bring light into someone's...

Mental Chatter

Life's greatest teachers are heart-breaks, emptiness and failures.  We come across things in our lives that - at the time - can become obstacles. Sometimes we take one over another, and sometimes they come all at once. I have noticed recently that I have fallen into a slump. I take these "obstacles" and pile them up. I even take an obstacle and twist it to make it seem worse than it actually is. In my head, it is that bad. I've recently had a few events happen that felt like my heart was breaking and have created this slump. Does that happen to anyone else? Something you care about so much doesn't pan out in your favour and it ends up hurting so badly? Heartbreaks Everyone knows what rejection feels like. It’s a universal (and universally disliked) experience, but it’s one that we each experience differently. For the most part, people are pretty good at moving on with their lives — even better than they might guess. Sometimes, though, getting rejected hurts...
