How to Establish a Reading Habit

I have always loved reading but could never find myself setting up the time to do the activity that I loved so much. Almost two years ago I would just think about how much I would want to incorporate a little bit of reading each day into my schedule ending up doing nothing about it and have my books catching dust on the shelves. Well, I got tired of that because like I said, it’s an activity that I really enjoy and it was something that made my day better than a day in which I didn’t read. The thing is that as much as I loved reading I loved procrastinating and making excuses more. I then decided to take matters at hand and put up my mind to establish a reading habit, routine or space in my day to read and in this post, I will tell you exactly how I did it.

DIY Comfort and Positivity Box

Sometimes, when things get a bit out of control or just when we need an outlet for our emotions, it is convenient to have something to reach for when we don’t know what to do and bring comfort to our lives and remind ourselves everything beautiful that there is and set that ray of sunshine in our day. That’s why I made myself a comfort and positivity box that I wish to share with all of you. For the ones who don’t know what a comfort box is let me give you a little description. A comfort box is a box, bag or container of sorts in which you put a selection of things that bring you comfort and guidance for when you are not feeling your best emotionally.

5 Self-Care Creative Journaling Prompts

I have been doing some creative journaling here and there since the end of last year and found it to be one of the most calming and entertaining things to do when I’m feeling overwhelmed by life or just want to do a creative outlet activity. As I have sort of themed this month surrounding self-love and care, I decided to create 5 self-care creative journaling prompts keeping up that theme. I recommend you try some creative journaling yourself and keep in mind that there are no rules or guidelines when journaling. I will be giving you these prompts in case you don’t know where to start but once you do, you will have a whole world of creativity to work around.

Getting My Life Together-February 2020

February is here and I wanted to make sure to review and start getting my life together on a monthly basis! I feel like January went on so slow but at the same time, I can’t believe we are already in the second month of the year. This February is extra special not only for being the first February of the decade but for also having an extra day which is convenient when you have a lot of things planned for the month. I have quite a few things planned for this month as I will be focusing it on self-love and care and want to establish a bunch of great habits for my emotional and physical health. I changed and added a lot of stuff since my January Life Plan With Me because I soon realized that I needed to plan more stuff than I had previously foreseen. I will go into my goals for the month, extra to do’s as well as creative project planning and goal setting.

February 2020 Self Love and Care Bullet Journal Set Up

February is a great month to reflect on giving yourself, love. For that reason, I decided to focus my month on developing a self-care routine and themed my bullet journal accordingly. I will be creating my usual functional planning spreads filled with self-care and valentine’s doodles. I also will be adding some extra spreads dedicated to self-care/ love and friendship because I also like to make little gifts for my friends. Don’t worry, I will talk about Valentine’s Day gift ideas in a future post before the fourteenth.

January Life Plan With Me

As a way to keep myself accountable for all of my goals for the new year as well as deadlines for assignments and to-do’s, I decided to form a sort of monthly planning system that I hope will work for this new year. During this planning session, I will be keeping in mind all of my goals and any important days I need to set out for this specific month. As the month passes, I will be reviewing this planning method to take out the things that I didn’t use and adding the things that I believe I need for the coming month. If you want to see more of this sort of planning, make sure to comment it down below. I will be doing most of this planning in my 2020 bullet journal.

New Decade Goals Journal/ Folio

With a new decade coming along with this year, I figured it was only fitting to do some planning and goal setting about it. For that reason, I decided to create a goal journal/ folio to jot down my goals for not only this year but goals to be accomplished in this decade. I did not only made the folio but also jotted down ideas for how you could fill it and different ways you can establish your goals for this decade in it. If you are interested in knowing how I built said folio, make sure to keep reading.

What’s in my Backpack? Second Senior Semester Edition

As my senior year comes to an end on this second semester, I found fitting to have a record of my essentials as I have gone through my school years so that I can see the difference between my school and university essentials as I go through this phases of life.

2020 Planner Line Up

With the new year comes new planners, and I love planners. In fact, I’ve been prepping for the start of this year since halfway through the last one. In this post, I will be jotting down all the planners I’m planning on using this brand new year as well as any extra journals I decided to add to the mix.
