“If you asked most people whether they believed in love or not, they’d probably say they didn’t. Yet that’s not necessarily what they truly think. It’s just the way they defend themselves against what they want. They believe in it, but pretend they don’t until they’re allowed to. Most people would throw away their cynicism if they could. The majority just never get the chance.”
— Alain de Botton
I recently started journaling and for some reason I feel a lot less anxious and I get things done?
Taking a few minutes out of your day to journal is a great mindfulness practice that helps you focus your thoughts, reduce stress, and help you achieve your goals! Not many people do it because it looks like you are wasting your time but it saves so much time and makes your life so much better! I recommend all my followers to buy a journal and keep up the practice for at least a week. You will notice a positive change in your life. Guaranteed!
If you are more like me and don’t like staring at a blank page then please check out the Morning Sidekick Journal by Habitnest! I got my journal during their Kickstarter campaign and have been using it ever since! It’s a journal that helps you implement healthy habits and win your morning. They also have other journals for meditation, nutrition, and weightlifting. But just look at this <3
Before I started journaling I was always stressed and directionless and maybe this sounds a bit silly but I am actually conquering my life now!

I LOVE IT!
Journaling is one of the best habits to have because it makes implementing other habits a lot easier. It keeps your focussed.
Here is a list of habits that could improve your life (with links):
Where has this been all my life
“into the wild”
find someone that knows how to calm your storms
Ray Bradbury, The Illustrated Man (via books-n-quotes)
Don’t be someone’s “sometimes”
if you’re reading this, i’m putting a thought out into the world for you. a hope that whatever’s worrying you works out in your favor, that a happy moment comes your way, and that you have a heartwarming reason to smile tonight
“We said our final goodbyes and my heart broke in two. I would have waited for you for the rest of my life if all you needed was time but sadly, you showed me time and time again that I was always the one who cared more. You always fought me about that- claiming you care just as much but I think you forget actions speak louder than words and if you truly did care as much as me, we’d be together regardless of our circumstances. I’m sorry you couldn’t love me the way that I loved you because I would have given you the world.”
— Farewell, my dear. I will always wish you well.
I would just like to state that grown men have cowered at the sight of the dragons flying over and the Stark Sisters have shown absolutely no fear. LEGENDS ONLY
“My heart is so tired.”
— Markus Zusak, The Book Thief (via the-book-diaries)
getting better is hard, everyone needs to take breaks sometimes - you’ve come so far from where you started and i’m so proud of you
