    Creativity and clutter

    There are so many people to go both sides of this discussion I feel! Many say messiness leads to creativity & others will say that a clear area leads to a clear mind, in turn leading to creativity. Honestly I think it isn’t preference and how each persons mind works. Many have no problem working...

    How to deny my sweet tooth

    One thing I have a bad habit of, & it usually helps me kick the craving of wanting a bigger sweet, is after dinner I have a square of chocolate off a bar. Or a small hard candy to help satisfy the sugar want. I never really meant for this to curb my craving for sweets, it’s just always been...

    Negative Nancy

    Hi forum friends! I want you to think about how many negative thoughts you have in one day. One day only.... quite a bit isn’t it? It’s become something we are accustomed to, traveling through our day to day tasks and not even realizing how many bad thoughts our minds are absorbing solely from...

    Being Consistent

    I think the greatest thing you could do to help yourself succeed is to tie your goal to something tangible. Such as, if you can try get yourself to go to the gym, you could say if I go to the gym 4 times this week I can buy myself a new (small item) face mask I’ve been wanting to try, or a scoop...

    Keeping in touch

    I definitely have gone through this/still am going through it. I’m a big believer in two things...1. If they’re true friends, they shouldn’t be upset if you can only talk every so often. & 2. Also, if you do get together with them twice a year and you find yourself searching for talking topics...

    Reducing Screen Time

    Something I have been TRYING to do is to go to bed without my phone. Plug it in out of my reach so that when I’m done, I’m done and I have to either get uncomfortable to grab it again or choose the better option..sleep!

    Increasing Water Intake

    Ooh! I like this one. I also am very keen on the fact that water helps increase so many things. Helps with your skin, helps mentally (alertness) and so many more things. One thing I do occasionally to try to increase water intake is to drink a cup before and after meals. Doing it before helps...

    Relationship Talk: Long Distance

    I was a part of a long distance relationship through 4 years of college and most of the year after graduation. So I can relate to this 100%! It does get boring sometimes and your talks seem to be about the same stuff every night. I was the one to get worked up about it too, thinking our...

    Job Interview Prep

    Honestly, I know this sounds like the opposite of what you want, but I try not to think way too much about it. If you really want the job and know you’regood for it, then all you can do is answer what you know and be yourself. If you overthink it, sometimes you start to mess up your words...

    Kitchen Therapy

    I think you are absolutely right about this! Cooking/baking is a relaxing task because there are many different and simple movements to it. Slicing, blending, whisking, pouring, it is all so simple and satisfying to where you get so caught up in it that you forget what was making you stress...

    New Roomies in a Relationship

    My boyfriend and I have been together for the past 5 years, lived together (with his two roommates) for one of those summers and currently just moved to a new country together! We don't rush anything, rather just let things play out and take them as they come. I will say that we have been...

    Help: I can't make decisions without thinking of others.

    Hi michalaw! I can definitely relate to this! It's a nerve racking thing making decisions that will hurt the ones you love and who love you. But, I have found that if I can ask myself whether this decision will help me more than it will hurt them, then I should go for it! If you are making a...
