I’ve been going through an emotional rollercoaster this summer & decided to get my sh** together. This week was all about admitting to myself that I can’t keep going the way I was & I have to make some serious changes if I want to become the best version of myself.

Now don’t get me wrong, I feel like I’ve been doing pretty great so far. I have a job that I love to bits, my fiancé is probably the best guy I have ever met, I have the greatest relationship with my family members & my friends are awesome. One might even wonder what else would I need…

The thing is, despite all of the amazing things I’ve been blessed throughout my life, I often feel like it’s still not enough… This feeling is my worst enemy.

I love how this always unsatisfied version of me pushes me to go above & beyond everything I do in my career. However, when it comes to my personal life- I often feel exhausted.

For this reason, I finally got time to sit down & think about what’s really missing in my life and decided to try a few things that will hopefully help me find that peace of mind.

Here are 3 life changes I’m currently working on…

Mindfulness

I’ve been using Headspace app & Five Minute Journal apps for over a week now & it makes such a huge difference. Of course, I don’t need any particular app for adding more mindfulness into my daily routine, but these help me to actually stay on track.

Thus, every day I started to actually dedicate some time to check in with myself & be grateful about the present. This really is the best thing you can do for yourself, my friend.

Bringing more mindfulness into your everyday life really is the best thing you can do for yourself, my friend.

The Power Of Getting Ready

Since starting my online career as a blogger & blog designer, I’ve spent way too many days in my pyjamas. As much as it’s comforting, it can also get very depressing.

After discovering Mimi Ikonn on youtube, I got inspired by her thoughts on the importance of proper morning routine. She’s one well put together lady & I really admire her confidence.

Now that doesn’t only contain good breakfast or waking up early, it is also important to actually ‘get ready’ for the day. Putting an outfit together, applying minimal makeup & getting your hair done can instantly get you into that go-getter mood & I already felt the power of this in the last couple of weeks. I didn’t really expect that it can make such a huge difference, but I haven’t felt this great about myself in a long, long time.

Try this for yourself, especially if you’re working from home!

Being More Active

I don’t think I will ever be like one of those fitness obsessed girls out there & I’m not even aiming for that. I do, however, want to feel confident about my body & feel healthy. I was doing pretty OK with my fitness routine but fell off the waggon a couple of months ago & been having a hard time to get back on track. I really wish to bring back weekly workouts together with some more active lifestyle choices & really hope to keep up with my goals this time.

I only started making these changes recently & I still have a long way to go. I’m, however, really excited to see where they’ll take me. Making these transitions definitely hasn’t been easy, and it has taken me a really long time to understand what changes I want to make, but I’m very glad to realise that I’m slowly yet certainly getting there.
