Day 25 - Identify Your Stress Triggers

I originally had this switched with Day 19: Go For A Walk Practice Mindfulness, but that didn't happen. Yesterday I planned on going to the beach and have a relaxing walk, but I applied for a job and the application took a little longer than expected. I ended up not having time for the walk so I decided to switch it again Day...

Day 24 - Practice Gratitude

I've procrastinated on this for too long. This was suppose to be written on Thursday, but I'm doing it now because it's better late than never. Here are my list of people and things that I am grateful for, and should remind myself everyday because I tend to forget to cherish what I have.  My mother. The woman who is the most selfless...

Day 23 - No TV All Day, Read Instead

I thought today would be impossible. I used to not watch TV, but since I got Netflix and started watching Gilmore Girls I can't seem to think of anything else. I need to know what will happen to Rory and Dean. Somehow, I was able to spend the whole day without watching TV. I didn't think I could do it, but I did to...

Day 22 - Create A Relaxing Bedtime Routine

Yesterday night was quite easy for me. I feel that my bedtime routine is already relaxing. For the past couple of days I've been lighting a candle next to me while I turn off the lights in my room with only the lamp on my desk on. Something about a dark room with minimal light relaxes me. I used to be crazy for...

Day 21 - Journal For Twenty Mintues

I am a writer. You would think that I would write in my journal every day, but I don't. I actually just found my journal two weeks ago. Aside from this challenge, I don't remember the last time I wrote in a notebook. I believe it was when I was still in school, which was three months ago. It was quite a strange...

Day 20 - Go Bare-Faced

Yesterday was suppose to be no TV all day, read instead, but I watched Nana on Netflix and TV with my parents, so I decided to switch it with go bare-faced. This was actually really easy because I don't always go out with makeup. If I'm running errands and just hanging out with my parents I won't even bother with makeup. For the...

Day 19 - Leave A Whole Day Unplanned

Day 19 was suppose to be go for a walk and practice mindfulness, but I was really lazy and ended up not doing that. What I did instead was leave a whole day unplanned. This was pretty easy because now that I'm still unemployed all of my days are kind of like this. I usually don't plan my days because I have nothing...

Day 18 - Unfollow and Unfriend

On Friday I deleted quite a bit of people from Facebook. To be honest, I was kind of excited for this task. I would scroll through my newsfeed and would find the strangest and oddest things from people who I went to high school with. I usually don't delete people from my social media accounts unless they're an ex I never want to...

Day 17 - Practice Single Tasking

This is something I really need to work on. I multitask a lot and jump from multiple projects at the same time. I like to be busy and work on a lot of things, but because of my habits I end up not doing what I needed to get done because I got distracted with something else. I get bored with what I...

Day 16 - Don't Buy Anything For 24 Hours

On Wednesday my challenge was to go 24 hours without buying anything. This was very hard for me because I am a shopaholic and I like to spend money and buy nice things. It wasn't too bad just because I live at home now and I don't go out much. When I do go out, it's usually with my mom and she buys...

Day 15 - Examine Your Daily Habits

Todays challenge asked me to examine my everyday habits from my morning routine to my evening activities. I quite like my morning routine, I wake up take a shower and eat a good breakfast, but one thing that's missing that I used to do at uni is drink a cup of green tea. Green tea is so good for you, but since I...

Day 14 - Take A Step Towards Learning A New Skill

Yesterday I was suppose to take the time to learn a new skill. I ended up not doing it because I couldn't think of anything I wanted to learn. I thought that new skills required investing money into it, but that isn't the case. Cooking has always been something that I've wanted to learn, so today I asked my mom to teach me...

Day 13 - Clean Out Your Closet

Anyone who knows me knows that I have a lot of clothes. I have more clothes than I need. A year ago I became a shopaholic and began shopping a lot online. I think this has to do with the fact as a kid my parent's didn't have a lot of money to buy me nice clothes, so when I got a job...

Day 12 - Define Your Goals For This Year

Since graduating, I haven't given much thought to my goals. When I was in uni I would make a list of the goals I wanted to accomplish each quarter. I would write the goals out and hang them over my bed. At the end of the quarter - to my surprise - I ended up accomplishing all of them. Therefore, I'm a big...

Day 11 - No Email Or Social Media Until Lunch

Today I woke up at 8:30 a.m. because I had an eye doctor appointment at 10:15 a.m. I didn't get out of bed until 8:40 a.m. and didn't shower until 9:00 a.m. Instead of using those extra 20 minutes looking through my phone, I went to go have a cuddle with my cat. I ended up showering, eating breakfast, and getting ready in...

Day 10 - Evaluate Your Commitments

Yesterday I was suppose to not use my email or social media until lunch, but by the time I realized my challenge for the day, I had already used social media. I didn't want to cheat, so I decided to switch it with day 11 which is to evaluate my commitments. At the moment I would say I am only committed to two...

Day 9 - Downsize Your Beauty Collection

I'm tired. I now realize why you're suppose to do one challenge every day, but I procrastinated and today I did three. As far as beauty products go, I don't wear to much. For skincare I will wash my face with a face wash, apply my toner, and then moisturizer. If I have a pimple I'll put a spot treatment on it and...

Day 8 - Learn To Enjoy Solitude

I was suppose to write this yesterday, but I didn't. I ended up spending the whole day with people instead of being in solitude. Yesterday was my last day in Irvine, so I decided I would use it to see people I wouldn't see for a while. I met up with my friend Rachel for brunch at Peet's Coffee. Rachel got a job...

Day 7 - Streamline Your Reading List

I'm bad. This post was suppose to go up two days ago, but when you're busy packing and moving out of your college apartment there isn't much time to blog. At the moment, I am only reading three books: A Dance With Dragons, Making Magic With Gaia, and Nana. I'm not the kind of person that likes to read multiple books at the...

Day 6 - Follow A Morning Ritual

The first thing I do when I wake up is check my social media accounts. I'll go on Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and Youtube, but today I decided not to do that. Since I'm back in Irvine moving, I couldn't do everything that I would like to do in a morning routine. If I was back at home I would, meditate, spend time with...

Day 5 - Identify Your 3 To 6 Main Priorities

This post was suppose to go on yesterday, but I was busy packing and having fun with my friends at the 626 Night Market that I'm doing it now. I've actually spent some time thinking about what I really need to prioritize since the termination of my relationship. Here they are: 1. Get a job. Not just any job, but a good paying...

Day 4 - No-Complaint Day

Yesterday was actually easier than I expected it would be. Since I've been back in Irvine, I've been given the chance to spend time with my really good friend Gaby, who I haven't really seen in two months. As we spent our day together, I made a conscious effort to not complain for the whole day. I'm actually in the process of moving...

Single, Ready To Mingle?

About a couple months ago I wrote a post called: Why I'm Single and I basically gave a list of the reasons as to why I've chosen to stay single. When I wrote that post I didn't lie, but for the past year and a half I was seeing someone. However, I recently went through a break up and breakups are the worst...

Day 3 - Declutter Your Digital Life

This is late, but I had a pretty emotional day yesterday that I will explain in the following post. Even thought I didn't post this yesterday, I still decluttered my digital life. I knew that deleting things on my computer would take forever, so I started with my phone first. I deleted a lot of screen shots taken, old selfies that really had...

Day 2 - Meditate For Fifteen Minutes

About a couple months ago, I was reading How to Make Magic With Gaia by Francesca Howell and in one of the chapters it talked about meditation. I was very intrigued and wanted to try it, but at the time I was really busy with school and eventually I just forgot about it. So for day two, I was actually really happy and excited...

Day 1 - Stay Offline For One Day

Yesterday I spent a whole 24 hours offline. I didn't go on Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and Youtube, which I go on every single day. To be honest I thought the day was going to be very difficult. I'm always on my phone and I constantly have the urge to check my screen and see if anyone sent me anything, so being completely offline...
