My Journey

  • Just Start

    I’ve dreamed of making videos for almost 9 years. Back in 2017 I started a YouTube channel about motorcycles and created a few motovlogs because that was the “hot” thing back then. Then, I stopped and never did it again. I really enjoyed the entire process that went into creating a video and posting it…

  • Accountability II

    I think it makes sense for me to make these accountability posts a series. Updating weekly feels very doable to me. In my last accountability post I laid out a few things I was doing. So far they’ve been working. The meal prep service is great and the food is delicious. I didn’t go to…

  • Accountability I

    I think that’s what I’m missing. I can’t seem to hold myself accountable so I’ve asked a few friends to help me. I also signed up for some personal training sessions at my local gym. I enjoy working out but the hardest thing is getting there. Knowing that someone is there waiting for me, and…

  • Don’t Feed The Beast

    May is mental health awareness month, so let’s talk about it. In case you missed it in my previous posts, I have mental health issues. Mainly depression and anxiety. In the past I have taken medication for my depression but the side effects really outweighed any benefits so I stopped taking them. I’m currently back…

  • A 2 Post Night

    I didn’t intend on writing 2 entries tonight but I was going through my drafts folder and saw the last post and it’s still very true so I thought why not! Procrastination is still plaguing me, to the point I want to stop thinking about doing or trying anything because I know that I will…

  • The Inertia of Life

    I envy those who seemingly make big life decisions with ease. There’s things I want to do, places I want to go and I just can’t seem to make them happen. I tell myself I should “just do it” but then talk myself out of whatever it was and I’m inevitably disappointed and regret not…

  • Procrastination

    This is me writing a post, probably about nothing, because I’ve been putting off blogging since earlier this year. I don’t know why I avoid doing things that I know will make me happy(ier). It’s a very bad habit that despite being fully aware of I still do. When I’m not actively thinking about something…

  • Consistency

    I struggle with being consistent. I get really excited about something new, dive into that thing for a few days/weeks and then it falls by the wayside. I know this about myself and it frustrates me immensely but even knowing it I do that I continue to do it. How do I break that cycle?…

  • Routine Timing vs Routine Doing

    For the past two weeks, I’ve been on a downswing. Several years ago, I was diagnosed with clinical depression and anxiety, and I’ve struggled to keep it under control. Of all the things I’ve tried in the past, exercise is the most effective treatment I’ve found. I’m not anti-medication, but I never really found a…

  • Mantras Are Effective?

    For me, they certainly have been. One, in particular, has been extremely helpful to me. We don’t do that anymore When I feel myself slipping into a bad habit or a bad way of thinking I simply say “We don’t do that anymore” and it breaks those thoughts. Self talk works and I’m not sure…
