Music Is More Powerful Than We Realize     Music is all around us, at the store, in the car, at work, at home. But we dont always think about what it is actually doing to our minds. Music is so powerful it can change our moods in an instant. I personally find this to be so true. I went on a trip to New York City a little while back. I was really feeling overwhelmed by the hustle and bustle, constant noise, and endless craziness. I started to have an anxiety attack and started crying on the subway. How embarrassing. My boyfriend offered me his headphones. I put them on noise cancelation and played some music. Instantly, I started to calm down. I was amazed at how well this actually works for me. I don't know why I got overwhelmed, I just think I require the quiet sometimes or less chatter. But I do know, music is a beautiful gift. Music Can Change Your Mood     We all listen to music, most of us every single day. Have you ever been in a terrible mood, but then you go ...

I recently got done listening to the audiobook version of The Let Them Theory  by Mel Robbins. I found the information to be so uplifting and helpful that I felt it was important to share what I learned about what is called the Let Them Theory. I decided on this book because I had seen it advertised many times. I felt like I often struggle with the opinions of others and the actions of others, therefore I figured I would give it a shot. But it ended up being more than just about that. I thought that "Let Them" sounded almost too simple. But the more I listened, the more I realized how much energy we waste trying to control things that were never ours to control. So...What exactly is the "Let Them Theory"?     Let them means to let other people do whatever they are going to say or do. We often get tied up in trying to control other people, their thoughts, and what people do, that it makes us miserable. We cannot control other people. We cannot control their choices, ...

 When the Answer Isn’t Obvious     We have all met those people who are just a walking red flag... But what about when it isn't as obvious. My previous relationship was much this way. The relationship started out great. He bought me flowers randomly, wrote me love letters and mailed them to me, and never let me question whether or not I was loved. But there was a huge problem, there were also red flags.     Along with all the lovely things that he did, there was also many things that he did that were just plain wrong. He wanted all of my time. If I spent time with anyone else, I would be greeted with many texts asking when I was going to be home, that he missed me and wanted me home. I had experience with controlling relationships in the past, so I ignored the texts and told him that I would be home when I was done spending time with my friend. I had honestly never met anyone so needy in my life.  I understood why he was that way though, he had been cheated...

Hi there my faithful followers. I have not posted in a long time. I am sincerely sorry for that. Life has been super busy lately. Here is an update on how life has been going: I took a year off of college in order to work as I needed to afford to pay off my college bill. During that time, I started to substitute teach. I subbed at two districts. Then I got offered a long term subbing position, which I gladly accepted. It is due to my career that I have chosen to make my blog posts anonymous from here on out. The people who have been following me right along and those on my social media will know whom I truly am. But I am choosing to stay anonymous to the rest. I want to continue to create content and not have it interfere with my job.  From now on, I will be releasing blogs every Thursday at 9 am starting tomorrow. I already have it scheduled to be released, so I look forward to you all reading it! I am happy to get back to blogging. I have been also working on myself along the way...
