Hobbies
Hi all! I am hoping whoever is out there reading is having a fantastic year so far. Currently I am trying to figure a balance in my life that will help me relieve stress. A lot of people use exercise as a way to reduce the stress. Of course in the beginning this is the only way I knew how to reduce stress. However, being an active member in the gym myself, this has no longer been a successful outlet for me. I exercise about 5 to 6 times a week. Sometimes I can only get to about 4 times, which kills my anxiety. (we will discuss that later). I use this a sustainable source for overall physical well being, but mentally I am a hot mess!
With that being said my therapist, yes I see one and I am a firm believer that every gal should! Anyways my therapist suggests for me to find an outlet that will help me understand who I am. I take this as essentially finding a hobby. You could say that people find things they generally like to do that help get their minds off things life the stress of life. I currently have nothing that helps me get lives current stress out of my mind. Not even for one minute. I am currently walking around like a high strung carrot.
With that being said I figured, hmmmm... I should blog more. So I am going to actively attempt to blog more. I know that I hardly have anyone that reads, and even if I had nobody it is helpful to get thoughts out on paper, words, whatever. I think that for some people that are not really good at anything, like me, we struggle to find something that will help get the creative juices flowing. I cant draw, I am not creative so I struggle. In the midst of me saying I am not and I cant, I found that there are things I enjoy doing. There are things I can be good at if I really set my mind to it. I love to read, and currently I have been having a difficult time finding books that really engage me.
I cant remember the last time I read a good book. Forget about asking for suggestions, because people are different. We like different things, also my friends list is not too keen on reading themselves. I was thinking I also really love to review things. I love to try different things, and give my honest opinions about all things. I am trying to find a way to engage my mind, so it distracts me from life's bumps.
I signed up for influenster! If you dont know what that is, check it out. It is a interactive site that will allow users to try things, review things and even get complementary things just to review them. Yes it is work, but I really enjoy helping others find the things that might work for them. Furthermore, I love to get free swag! So putting both of those together has really engaged my mind to keep busy. It helps me learn how to market myself, and learn how to interact with other people that enjoy doing the same things. So far I have received one thing from a cosmetic company called Milk Cosmetics. Obviously I am not too makeup savy, but I think this will help me explore new things rather than the same brands I have been using for years. I tried the product and fell in love! Crazy, but from a business perspective, this is a brilliant idea. I will now buy this product for life! I loved it!
Finding myself has been the biggest reward, and trust me I still have a long way to go. But I have found that I love to talk, give my honest opinion and really just help people make their decisions on non essential things. Alex is a huge part of my life, but I need to make sure I make time for me. I need to make sure that I have my own projects and identity. This is really giving me an opportunity to do that and release some stress. I am so happy I decided to do this. Currently the mood is excited. I will check int o see how I am feeling in a couple days to gauge how this is really making me feel. Until then friends!
