May 06, 2021 Mental Health Challenge: Plan Trip + Drive and sing!
Planning a trip and exploring a new place can help you grow in ways you may not be aware of. While you are traveling you are immersed in another culture!
I know with COVID many people don't feel comfortable to travel or have lost their job so financially can't travel, so an alternative is to make a playlist and blast it in your care and sing your life out!
If you are planning a trip make an itinerary to help safe money! And follow COVID rules! Be Safe!

Everyone loves a good spa day!
Did you know that having a spa day can release stress and also release toxins in your body.

Take a picture of any face masks or hair masks so people can support different products!

I use a FabFitFun Box to keep trying new products but products are you obsessed with that help you feel better!?

May 03, 2021 Mental Health Challenge: Budgeting
Please take a look at your budget and where your money is going!
Take a minute to budget out the next month!
I truly believe that some women are in a bad situation because they don't know how to handle money, or don't have the money to to leave the situation.
When I first started to budget, I was terrified, I went to my bank and got my bank statements for the last year and wrote out in excel where I spent the money and the amount, I then categorized them to bills, groceries, eating out, netflix. To see where my money was going.
I then looked at it and saw what I could cut out to get more money into my savings. such as eating out.
I then checked out this amazing YouTube channel that made budgeting fun! She got herself out of $200,000 in student loan debt! She made a budget planner this year and since then I saved an extra $3,000 in a short amount of time!
If you are scared of budgeting or need help reach out! I'm a nerd when it comes to this stuff!

May 02, 2021 Mental Health Challenge: Vision Board + Goals
I love creating Vision Boards! They provide a daily visualization of dreams and goals, Visualization is one of the most popular and effective mind workouts that you can do. Grab a poster board from the dollar store, grab pictures from a magazine or use Canva and Google Images!
Vision boards helps the brain grasps opportunities that may otherwise been unnoticed, that's because the brain has a process called "value-tagging" which imprints important things onto your subconscious and filters out unnecessary information.
I love creating Goals, goals are a great way to be motivated, you can create SMART goals. Goals also can trigger new behaviors, help guide your focus and help you sustain the momentum for your life. Goals can also help align your focus and promote a sense of self-mastery.
I create Goals by writing them down on a piece of paper! I also great a goal map, I just break down my bigger goals into 3-5 milestones.
Success is not achieving the main goal, it's the little steps you took to achieve that goal!
I also write down my goal, why its my goal and why it's important to me, action steps, obstacles, and reward.
Goals stimulate the brain, motivating the person to accomplish the impossible! A study found the higher the goal, the more likely you would be to achieve it. The brain also has something called neuroplasticity, goal-setting literally changes the structure of your brain so that it's optimized to achieve that goal. In other words, if you strongly desire a goal, your brain will perceive obstacles as less significant than they might otherwise appear

April 15, 2021 I am Youth Violence Prevention: Research
It was Youth Violence Prevention Week.
Where I originally thought that that would be included in Domestic Violence Month, I was wrong.
Youth Violence is a topic I never thought about so I am sharing all the stuff I have learned. See Below for website to learn more and get involved!
I also watched the Trials of Gabriel Fernandez, a docuseries, about a young boy who fought for his life while living in an abusive home, it was a moving and hard to watch docuseries but very educational, I even remember hearing about it in the news, I was too young to know the whole story. I believe he would have turned 16 in 2020...
