Did you know that learning something new can lower your chances of dementia? 

Take the time today to explore a road you always pass by but don't ever drive through, or read a book about something you have always wondered but never had the time to explore!

Bring a pen and paper together and see all the wonderful things that come from it and the many places to explore! 

Journaling has many positives effects! 

Take a listen to why you should journal and the affects on the brain. 

Here are some journal prompts:

1. Where are you in your life and what are you currently feeling? 

2. Write for 15 minutes, even if you feel like you have nothing to say, keep going and see where your subconscious takes you. 

3. Write to your inner child. 

4. Write about your gratitude, struggles, and successes.

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!

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.

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 is Sexual Assault Awareness Mont so I thought I would highlight this organization that has helped a lot in research and healing. 

RAINN (Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network) is the nation's largest anti-sexual violence organization.

RAINN created and operates the National Sexual Assault Hotline (800.656.HOPE, online.rainn.org)

RAINN has helped 3.5 million survivors and their loved ones!

April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month so I wanted to share some interesting facts I learned about Sexual Assault. 

Although through COVID people stayed socially distant sexual assault was still happening. Many time sexual assault happens by someone you already know and now it's happening online at any time. 

Thursday I will share about RAINN and on the last day of April some facts!

It was Youth Violence Prevention Week. 

Where I originally thought that that would be included in Domestic Violence Month, I was wrong.

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...
