Bullet Journaling Saved Me From Quarantine Blues
I came across the concept of bullet journaling or BuJo, as it is known amongst its lovers, a couple of summers ago, when it was all in rage. Every other influencer was dabbling with the art in their tiny, little notebooks, and raving about it.

How to Get Through Quarantine: The Self-Care Way
By now, I’ve been unemployed for a year. I’ve been living without a car, and run out of things to do a few times. Here’s what my quarantine low looked like for me: Rolling out of bed a different time each day, playing video games until 12:00pm, and not eating enough because I’m too lazy to cook for myself. Here’s how it looks now: I have a morning routine, two side hustles, I keep cooking for myself, and I have a reason to get out of bed every morning even when it seems hard. I’ve learned a LOT, and I’m going to share what I’ve learned with you here.

How to Use ‘Bushido’ to Become a Polished Writer
I discovered the concept of Bushido when I was a mere 12-year-old child. I was reading a Young Adult series, Young Samurai by Chris Bradford, which narrates a story of an American who is stranded in Japan in 1611 and is raised to be a Samurai.

"A Piece of Blarney Stone"
The Blarney Stone is a historical stone, or actually part of the Blarney Castle in Ireland where it was believed that kissing the stone can grant you the gift of gab. Yeah, it seems strange in this day and age, but who are we to question tradition? It's not like I'm saying that Santa Claus doesn't exist (OOPS!).

How to wake up for a successful day!
Your morning alarm blasts you awake. You swear and hit the snooze button. You roll over for a few more minutes of sleep. And then, in what seems to be a nano-second, it rings again. You know you can’t ignore it this time and reluctantly haul yourself out of bed.

The Things Highly Productive People Do to Get More Done
I’m a writer who struggles with procrastination. There I said. I admitted it. Now that it’s out in the open I’m declaring that from this moment on I’m going to be more productive. Not just with writing — but in everything.

Life Can Suck...Sometimes
LIFE CAN SUCK... SOMETIMES. Life is never meant to be easy, never has and never will. That is just life. Life can suck when you lose your job, or you get a huge bill for something and have no idea how to pay for it. Life can suck when you lose a loved one, or things go wrong in a relationship. Life can suck, but it is how to get through and carry on.

Changing Your Thinking
It’s important to be mindful of your thinking, to what exactly it is that voice in your head is saying, and how it affects what comes out of your mouth when you speak and interact with others. For example, instead of apologizing for everything, practice gratitude. Rather than “I’m sorry I was late,” try “Thank you for waiting for me;” and turn “I’m sorry for being so sensitive” into “I appreciate how accepting of me you are;” “I’m sorry I always mess up” can become “Thank you for being patient when I make a mistake;” and “I’m sorry for talking so much” can be “thank you for listening to me.” Even subtle changes can go a long way over time in fine tuning your thinking in a positive direction.

How To Write Your Life Story
"Write what should not be forgotten." Your life is something that should be remembered. Everyone has a story to tell, even you. No matter how 'normal' your life may seem to be, your account matters. There might be someone out there who needs to hear your story, someone whose life will change if they listened to your story.

Surviving hard times: Overcoming lockdown.
Everywhere you go its lockdown. Each time you turn on the television or listen to the radio its lockdown. Even a leisurely evening stroll through the park cannot hide the issue of lockdown. On the billboards, on the buses, inside trains and planes, the issue of lockdown is all too evident for all to see.
