Mental Health Resources

Today, I keep it short. Here are a list of resources you or anyone you know can use to fight depression, anxiety, or thoughts of suicide.

Anxiety and Depression Association of America- 1-240-485-1001 or www.adaa.org

American Psychological Association- 1-800-374-2721 or //www.apa.org

National Alliance on Mental Illness- 1-800-NAMI (6264) or //www.nami.org

The majority of Americans battle with their mental health. Don't let yours overtake who you are.

Travel Broadens The Mind

Image
When I began planning in my 365 Happy Planner a couple of weeks ago, I wanted to implement all of the Pinterest ideas I could find. One of the things that I did was insert a page to create a bucket list at the beginning of every season. I also inserted a page to create my travel bucket list. As I slowly started to make my fall bucket list, my travel page came together very quickly. As many people close to me already know, I plan on traveling in different areas of Europe in early Spring next year. Other than that, I have plans to go to Maine, Connecticut, New York, Washington D.C., Disney World, San Antonio, Arkansas and hopefully many other impromptu trips throughout the rest of the year and early next year.  This has been the biggest blessing of my gap year so far and I can't wait to see where I end up. I am sure that most of these travel plans would not be possible without my family's support. My life bucket list is much larger than anything I could ever hope to acco...

Workout Wednesday

Image
Today I had a bit of a 'trial run' of starting my 5 day a week journey at the gym. Since my brother will be going out of town tomorrow, he won't be here to train with me for the rest of the week. We went today at 8 a.m. (despite my love of sleeping in), and did what he called a "full body workout." And I can testify it was indeed a full body  workout. My arms feel it. My legs feel it.  My stomach feels it. My feet feel it.  Everything hurts.  I had to lift weights. I used machines I'd never seen before. I spilled my water all over the floor (accidentally). But it was worth it. I've been productive for the rest of the day and while my body is sore I want to feel this way again and again and again.  We plan on getting into a regular routine of going in the morning around 8 a.m. five days a week, sometimes taking classes and trying something new. Since he used to work at a gym he was extremely helpful with calming my nerves an...

Believe It Or Not

A lot of people think that because I am not going to school, that I don't have a lot of things to do, I sleep in, eat whenever, shop whenever. And to an extent some of that can be true. Recently I have been able to sleep in to around 9:45. But I still do a lot of things each day. Every day I am expected to: 1. Write a new blog post 2. Edit photos 3. Schedule photo sessions 4. Update planner 5. Create posts for blog/photography page 6. Watch my nephew twice a week 7. Come up with new and creative ideas for blog posts 8. Keep on top of always changing chores/errands And so on and so forth. But please, don't think I'm complaining. I love to do every single thing on that list and that is why I have so much drive to complete them. Starting next week, I'm going to add going to the gym 5 days a week at 8 a.m. I've been desperately wishing I had the energy to get in a routine of going to the gym. Now that my brother is living at home, I have someo...
