Development tools for a better you
Finding peace within yourself, or feeling a sense of zen is something that many of us struggle to define- let alone master. I always thought being at peace with myself meant perfecting all of my flaws, achieving all of my goals, and mastering every niche I wished was mine. I learned through experience that this […]
We all have habits; both good, and bad. It’s part of who we are. And, they can help us get through our day-to-day lives so mindlessly; because we are performing habitual acts without even noticing. For instance, when our minds go on “autopilot” on our drive to work, school, the shopping center, etc. When you […]
As many of our blog posts are, this post was inspired by another blogger’s article I found on TinyBuddha.com. As someone who has an interest in fitness, I’ve noticed that there are so many ways for people to achieve their fitness goals. But, something that many people don’t tend to do is simultaneously nourish their […]
Standing up for yourself can feel really… intimidating. Seems like a silly concept, right? But, when you think about it, you are the only person who knows how you truly feel about things.

Since self-love is a topic that I genuinely enjoy reading up on, I decided it was time to really question how we get there. So often we hear that self-love is the most important love you can elicit; but if we don’t already love ourselves, how do we get to this point? It can be damaging […]

But, the truth of the matter is that a person’s inability to follow through with the goals they have set forth […]
One of our biggest misconceptions in life is that we must constantly strive for perfection. Perfection of intellect. Perfection of body. Perfection of ability in work, school, interests… Perfection in life. The problem with this constant striving of perfection is that it’s simply unattainable. When we make our overall goal to perfect things that we […]
With the holiday season amidst, it can be easy for us to feel preoccupied, rushed, and worried. It’s almost ironic how this time of year is supposed to be the most relaxing yet, for many of us, it can end up being the polar opposite. Racing thoughts and last minute shopping can really take a […]
