Getting Comfortable With the Uncomfortable: My Journey to Being Who I Always Wanted to Be I’m not old by any means but one thing I have learned from my 31 years and 8 months in this world is that each of us is unique. There is not one single person out there that looks like me, thinks like me, has the same circumstances as me, or the same thought process as me. So it doesn’t really make much sense to follow the same life course as anyone else. Much like there is no one size fits all approach to fitness and nutrition, there is no one size fits all approach to how you should live your life. This is the story of my journey to being who I always wanted to be. Man, this world is crazy! The universe truly works in mysterious ways. Leave Herndon, Virginia to live in Wilmington, North Carolina. 18 years old, first time away from home and on my own. There you have it. Why the need for change? Whoa… what a loaded question right? These were my wants. I want to be able to dictate all my ups and downs, success and failures, the path my life follows. I want to do something that matters.
30 Challenges for 30 Days Did you know that it takes 30 days to form a new habit? The first few days are similar as to how you would imagine the birth of a new river. Full of enthusiasm it gushes forth, only to be met by strong obstacles. The path is not clear yet, and your surroundings don’t agree. Old habits urge you to stay the same. So, take a moment to reflect on the question ‘Who do I want to be in 5 years?’ Check out this short TED talk first to get inspired: Now pick one or more challenges and stick with them!

40 Ways to Feel More Alive “I don’t believe people are looking for the meaning of life as much as they are looking for the experience of being alive.” ~Joseph Campbell As I write this, I am two hours away from my first weekly acting class in Los Angeles. I’ve been here for almost two years now, and though I loved Community Theater as a kid, I never so much as researched acting classes until a couple weeks back. I frequently said I wanted to do it, along with painting classes, which I’m starting next week, but I always made excuses not to start either. I was too busy. The list went on and on, but I realized the last two were the big ones for me. Also, I hesitate to give large amounts of time to hobbies I have no intention of pursuing professionally. I realized last month, however, that I want to prioritize more of the things that make me feel passionate and excited—and not just occasionally, but regularly. I don’t know if these classes are “leading” anywhere. Say Something You’ve Been Meaning to Say 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

6 Reasons to Focus on Liking Yourself, and How to Do It Image: / CC BY-ND 2.0 “Nobody will think you’re somebody if you don’t think so yourself.”African-American proverb “Self-love is not opposed to the love of others.”Dr. “Happiness is: Looking in a mirror and like what you see .”Author Unknown People have a need for affection and being liked.

Getting compliments and being liked is wonderful. Because if you really need the positive validation from people then it’s hard to avoid listening to their negative input. 4. 5. 6. How to like yourself more So, the benefits sound pretty good.

Bachelor Meals: 5 Simple One Skillet Meals Editor’s note: This is a guest post from Matt Moore. Last week, I casually mentioned to a friend that I had gone to see a movie by myself. Personally I’ve never thought it strange to catch an afternoon matinee without accompaniment.
