Hello Again

Hello Again

Hello again!  I’m finally getting to writing my second post.  This is proving to be a little more of a challenge to get started on than the first post.  Mainly because I wasn’t quite sure if I wanted to just dive right into some topics or if I wanted to have a segue into all of it.  I have chosen to ease into it and share what to expect going forward.  I want to bring you along for this journey in real time because I think there is value in it.  Right now I’m overwhelmed.  It’s completely self-imposed because none of this is something I “have” to do but something I am “choosing” to do.  This does not change the fact that I have these emotions and still have to manage them.  A topic for another post.  Currently, I have a bunch of other half drafted posts and concepts to write about but nothing actually completed.  My brain is like a browser with 20 million tabs open and squirrels flying all over the place.  My website is also a complete work in progress.  As a result, I decided the next best step was to just start writing another post and ACTUALLY complete it.

Let me start off by saying that while I am a Millennial/Xennial/Gen Y (whatever you want to call those of us born in the 80’s), I’m not nearly as tech savvy as I thought.  I mean, I know my way around my phone, computer, and the internet; but as far as programming and website design and all that stuff, I’m pretty clueless.  It’s an entirely new world of terminology and all the things.  Fortunately, to create a website, you really don’t have to know any of that anymore because people have created some amazing products out there that help you.  So, please bear with me as I work on my tweaking my website to look like the picture I have in my head and continue to be stubborn by not paying someone else to do it for me.

Also, because this is new and totally out of my comfort zone, I’ve been struggling with ALL the limiting beliefs that tend to come up.  Who is going even going to read this?  What if nobody reads this? What if A LOT of people read this? Does this even matter?  Is what I have to say worth it?  What if I fail?  What if I succeed?  Will I actually enjoy it?  What if people criticize me?  There’s more, but you get the idea.  THIS is normal and it’s how I know I’m in the right place.  Good things always happen on the other side of your comfort zone.  I’ll definitely expand more upon this later.

Another thing I wanted to touch on, and have a little bit already, is what type of blog posts to expect to see from me.  I’ve been trying to figure out how to categorize and separate the topics I want to write about and at the same time, keep this somewhat focused.  This is why I’ve labeled this a lifestyle blog instead of a personal development or mindset blog.  Although a lot of the concepts I want to write about are in the personal development and mindset area, they are not the only thing I want to write about.  Like most people, there are many parts to me.  I’m a complex, multi-passionate human being with many areas of interests.  It’s what makes me, me, and what makes you, you.  I don’t think I can accurately help others find their own personal balance if I don’t share how I am working to find my own. This is, hopefully, my way of creatively expressing myself and bringing everything together.  My balance.

So, in addition to personal development concepts and philosophical ideas, expect to see some posts about work, fitness, nutrition, petite fashion, new skills I want to learn, personal goals I want to accomplish, funny parenting and real life moments, and potentially anything else that pops into my head.  This will likely evolve over time as I learn what topics best serve others through hopefully some nice, yet useful feedback from readers.  I want to end this by saying how grateful I am that you chose to read this today and I hope this helps you or at least resonates with you in some way.
