Instagram post 2227313279347243703_8598124549 You do you, boo boo⁠ ⁠ I'll be the first to admit that I can get a little too concerned about what others think of me. ⁠ ⁠ I'll often worry about saying the right thing⁠ Or fitting in with the group.⁠ ⁠ Acting "right" can take up so much of my focus, I end up not even acting like myself- just a timid, awkward version of me.⁠ ⁠ My old college roommate used to say "you do you, boo boo" all the time, especially when someone was doing something embarrassing.⁠ It's like saying "hey, do your thing, I'm not judging."⁠ ⁠ Sometimes you need a reminder to just "do you." ⁠ Be who you are and do what you want.⁠ ⁠ Ultimately this is our one life and we might as well spend it being authentically us.⁠ ⁠
Instagram post 2225889183082217815_8598124549 Peace out, cub scout. - - Sometimes it can be kinda tough to laugh. When you're dealing with a lot of stress and change, it's so much easier to get lost in your own head. - Not gonna lie, I've definitely been finding myself in a place where I cant completely let go and goof off. My mind keeps going back to work or financial stress or relationship problems or whatever else is happening. - But sometimes you need those days where you can just have a little fun. Joke with some friends and laugh it out. Sometimes you just need the reminder that you dont always have to take life so seriously. - Even if you're dealing with stress, I hope you have the chance to have a little fun and laugh a little this week.
Instagram post 2216353426605028376_8598124549 I'm considering this my affirmation of 2020. - Do you believe in affirmations? - I used to think they were cliched and corny but as I've started to incorporate a few into my daily journal routine, I've found it to be just the little pep-talk I need. - It gives me motivation to push myself farther, do more, and take chances. Also, it acts as a little f-you to my inner-critic. I'm capable of so much more. - What's your favorite affirmation? - - - - - - #dailyaffirmations #positiveaffirmations #affirmationsoftheday #personalgrowth #personaldevelopment #selflovequotes #growthroughwhatyougothrough #capableofcourage #capableofmore #2020motivation #trustyourself
Instagram post 2208393369242290174_8598124549 Going into 2020 with more laughter and self-love - I'll admit I'm nowhere near where I thought I'd be at this point. - I'm still not sure where my career is going to go. I'm still unhappy with some of my unhealthy habits. I'm still experiencing my "quarter-life crisis." - But I think it's important that we each reflect on our growth this year. - I have more confidence now than ever before. I got out of my comfort zone and chased the opportunities that excited me. I met so many awesome people who have inspired me to do more. - Even if things aren't perfect, I can still be proud of what I've done and excited for what's to come.
Instagram post 2201797054005735227_8598124549 Whether you’re a mosaic of flaws, broken and bruised, lost and confused, or just feel like you’re not good enough, take a moment to acknowledge the fact that you’re not a finished product yet. - A work-of-art takes time and effort.
Instagram post 2201075150131266288_8598124549 Oh hey, didn't see you there. I was just leaning against this brick wall... totally not posing... I feel like I often post on here trying to share inspiration or words of wisdom, but I end up sounding like a rejected hallmark card. With social media, it's so easy to be consumed by what other people think of us. "Does this photo look too posed?" "Is my caption too cheesy?" "Oh man another selfie, are they gonna think I'm conceited?" Your Instagram account is YOURS. It doesn't matter what people think of your posts. Post what you like. Say what you want to say. Let your social media be an outlet for self expression and an avenue for connection. Don't let it be a tool for insecurity. #honestsocialmedia #realsocialmedia #selfacceptance #radicalselfacceprance #mentalhealthblogger #mentalwellness #liveinspired #selfacceptancejourney #honestthoughts #selfloveisntselfish #radicalselflove #doyourownthing #liveyourownlife #liveforyourself #honestselfexpression

Instagram post 2191824804011708311_8598124549 Having snow much fun - Sometimes I find myself getting way too caught up in my own head. Stressing about work, money, relationships, the future, and twenty other things. - It kinda just leaves me feeling stiff. Have you felt that way, too? - The other day, in the midst of the weekday stress, I decided to have some fun. So I played in the snow for a little bit and felt more carefree than I have in a while. - Sometimes you just need a reminder that you dont have to take life so seriously. I think we all deserve a moment or two each day to have a little fun and feel free.
Instagram post 2180722153094289445_8598124549 Just journalin'. - Do you journal? Journaling is such a therapeutic tool. It can be used as a form of self-care, an opportunity to self-reflect, or and Avenue towards self-improvement. - And guess what... its free! - I have seen a major shift in my mindset this year since I've started a daily journal habit. Its given me more clarity, more control, and more motivation than before. - Time to start writing. -
