5 New Habits To Pick up this year

 With the new year rolling around so quickly people all around the world dream of the actions they will take in the coming year. But with expectations and no determination many will fail. Stay strong with determination and intention you can do anything. so here's my top 5 habits to pick up this year that will change your life and a couple tips to stick to them.

1.Morning pages
Morning pages is a continuous flow of conscious writing. I started doing morning pages about 1 year ago. In my year of doing morning pages I've felt alot more clear minded. all you have to is get a journal and a pen or you could even go digital. I like writing it out on paper because there is no backspace button but it's really up to you.


2.Drinking more waterI know this one is kinda of obvious but it's something I struggle to do even now. It's not that I hate drinking it, in fact I love it. but I just don't think of it. A few things that I do to remember is to place sticky notes in the kitchen. Setting reminders on my digital devices and anytime after I go to the bathroom.

3.Doing more Yoga or Exercising Another very common Resolution is "workout more" or "be healthy". As a generalized tip I would say be more specific with your goals. Don't just go with "workout more" get specific. instead of "workout more" go with "Go to the gym 4 or 5 times a week." It's a simple way to be more intentional with your goals.

4.Meditating
Meditating is another great mindfulness habit that takes sometime to form. When you first start take it slow and by the end of year you'll be able to take a good amount of time everyday to clear your mind and prepare for the day or whatever comes next. There are ton of amazing 

5.Thinking Positively 

Yet another thing I am sure you've heard a million times but thinking positively can be so important for the quality of life. There were moments I felt like I couldn't do something, I was so upset about what had happened. One time I promised to fix my family some lunch. I started by making some matcha tea for me and my mother. The ice machine broke and I had to fix it after I cleaned all the ice off the floor. I finally had cleaned up the ice and then a glass broke. I sat on the floor it wasn't what I wanted to sign up for I felt like curling up on the floor and crying. but I realized all I needed was to think positively upon the situation as much as it sucked and I felt better. Thinking Positively can change everything. So give it a try.


A Few tips to keep in mindNow that you've read what I personally recommend as a starting point for changing the way you live. If you have trouble keeping it going here's my tips. First off if you haven't heard of habit stacking it's amazing. The basic concept is that when you do one task you start down a chain of habits. You slowly build up the habits. Another tip even though you will sound crazy just talk to yourself. It's weird when you start and someone comes in but-. yeah I've got nothing. You could also find an accountability partner to help you stay on track.
Use the fresh start of the new years wisely and
Happy New years.

My 5 AM Morning Rountine

Welcome back or welcome! When I started my Reset my Life challenge I went to tackle habits one of them being sleep. I wanted to make sure that I was fully productive and waking up and getting to it always set me upright. I feel that it is important to be productive especially when first waking to starting your morning right. So I First start out by waking up and making my bed getting straight away. I then go to the kitchen and make my green tea. I set out everything the night before. I head to my room and well drinking my green tea I do my morning pages and look at my schedule and goals for the day. Once I am done with that part of my morning I put on my workout clothes and head to the gym. If you want to know my fitness routine Check here. After the gym, I come home to shower and get dressed for the day. Then I start to do my day's work of studying and writing. I know that this post is short but I like to keep things simple. Easy. Yet Productive. I love that in this v...

Mental Minimalism and My Buying Method

          Welcome back to another post on minimalism!               Sometimes when people think about minimalism they don't realize the mental feeling and actions we take that pair. I may not know exactly what everyone does to get there mind cleared and feeling fresh but I can tell you what I do.             Usually when it comes to minimalism People and me started to declutter and the physical world usually comes first when it comes to it. So if you haven't then I would. The physical world is hard to not focus on at times. Focusing, in general, can even be difficult but being present at the moment can help things and relieve the pressure you may be experiencing.            When I first decluttered things felt amazing. The room felt more open and my mind was so much more clear. But the first time didn't stop the feeling. I put everything out of the ro...

Eco Swap: Toliet Paper

  Welcome back! So I know I said Saturday again but I moved it forward a day because I had something important come up. So I figured a day early wouldn't be so bad. Sorry again for the early post.    So as we all know about and use toilet paper and that is why I decided to make this the topic of the Eco swap because it is such a big impact that all of us can change. In fact average Americans use 50 pounds of toilet paper in a year and 57 squares per day. That's 399 squares per week and 1596 squares per month. If you use toilet paper then you should know the cost and how much you destroy the earth don't feel bad though because you have the chance to save it. Right now America's toilet paper sales stand at seven billion rolls per year sold. If we don't do something things could get bad. That's why I encourage you to switch an alternative route than toilet paper. Some of you may be confused when it comes to this topic because well toilet paper dissolves well yes...
