Big Magic Book Review

Image result for big magic

Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert was such a great book, its a self help book that makes you really branch out from your comfort zone. This book was so rewarding to me, it really made me branch out and find things that i love to do and just to create with no boundary and to create with no fear as well. It's scary to want to do something creative on your own, doing the short story was scary to me because i was afraid of possibly the judgements that could be made from it but this book is more than a book to me to be honest, it's been a life lesson and a quote to live by, just create to create and don't be afraid to do anything that you really aspire to do. It's a hard process to go through, wanting to create something without constant questions or fears related to it, but you have to at some point live freely and live with love, and for me that's been the hardest thing of all because i carry so much weight on myself because of my anxiety so i end up doubting a lot of the skills that i have but reading this book just really helped me get rid of those menacing thoughts and it let me hone in on projects that i see myself enjoying and actually taking pride in. I recommend this book to anyone who really wants to live a more freeing life, especially if anyone is in a slump right now, i think this book is very inspiring and motivating.

JOURNAL PROMPT #1: WHAT IS ONE CONSISTENT PRACTICE YOU HAVE BEEN DOING THROUGH THIS QUARANTINE?

Hello everyone, I wanted to start a new project in this time that I believe would help the most to reach others with. I want to make my own journal prompts for people to view and to hopefully write to. I would love to see any responses if anyone feels comfortable to share, there is no pressure at all, just love. I've always had a comfort in writing and the connectedness I feel when I write something not only for others to view by for myself to reflect on. I hope that throughout these weekly journal prompts it will ease a bit of the quarantine tension and unite us through writing. With each journal prompt I make I will be responding to my own prompt to give others a view of what I personally think at the time.  My Response: The one consistent practice that I've been trying to do is at least write once a day. Whether that be in my planner or if I just write out a whole letter to someone to give later on. I want to be able to keep my spirits high by at least writin...

Learning To Be Assertive

I've always been more on the passive side, and i think it's due to my upbringing. Each experience i've experienced has leaned me to become more passive rather than aggressive. I love my sensitivity and i love the strengths i have with being a bit more passive,  but there's definitely a line that needs to be drawn to where no one could also take advantage of me. So just recently i was confronted with the idea of being more assertive as it would help out in my career but it'd also help out in my overall daily life. I need to be able to step back and analyze my conscious decisions of always saying yes to people. I want to stop that initial thought of saying yes just because i'd like to help out, i know my intentions are good and what my truest form is, i'm a helper, naturally i like to exist and participate with anything i can. I would like to even mention that at times i can switch and become this leader, an advocate who wants to speak out for things i...

Coping With Isolation

I hope everyone's doing well with all that is going on. I'm sure one day we will all be able to engage in the lives we once had before any of this happened. But for now all that we can do is keep ourselves afloat and balanced. How do you cope with isolation? How are these times treating you? Are you doing stuff you love? Stuff you wished you had more time for and now that you do are you trying to take advantage of it? One of my loves has always been writing because it's my form of expression, I think sometimes written words convey a lot more of my emotions than when I say them out loud. And throughout this time I've been at least trying to incorporate writing, and I've started to write letters to my friends. My friend reached out to me recently and asked if I wanted her to write me a letter, and honestly words can't describe just how giddy I felt in that moment. Of course I would agree to it, why haven't I done this sooner? Why are we not connecting like ...
