Little Moments of Happiness

Weekend vibes. While this work week flew by, I am so happy that it is Friday! Trying to enjoy the weather today because it is forecasted to rain for the next 10 days…oh well, that means I can be cozy inside with a good book and maybe rewatch The Parent Trap (one of my all-time favorite movies!) What are your plans for the weekend? Also, does anyone know what type of flowers these are? 🌸 • • • #smorehappiness #weekendvibes #theeverygirl #influencehercollective #theeverygirlblooms #pursuepretty #darlingweekend #livesimple #chasinglight #thehappynow #weekendplans #njblogger #flowerphotography #inbloom #seeksimplicity #choosejoy #veronapark #livecolorfully #tayloredforyou
Energy. Since working full-time, I’ve noticed that I have a lot less free time than I did in college. I know in yesterday’s post I said I have 5 hours, but those after-work hours are usually spent on hobbies and my out-of-work goals. • • As the amount of my free time dwindled, I started to notice more things about the people I was spending time with. Specifically, if I felt drained or energized after hanging out with someone. I believe that we feed off of other people’s energy and if someone is negative and gossiping about others, that energy will be draining. I also questioned the effort that was being made. What I mean by this is, was I constantly the one to reach out to hang out? Were they bailing on me last minute frequently with lame excuses? • • When I realized that some people were not making as much of an effort in the friendship as I was, it hurt. What also stung was realizing that someone whom I was very close with was most likely talking about me behind my back. The reason why I know this is because once I stopped texting certain people and making an effort on my end, I didn’t hear back from them and still haven’t. • • It wasn’t until reading @pinkannabananaaa post that I realized I’m not the only one that feels like this. For a long time, I felt alone in my experience of a “friendship breakup.” Like I mentioned above, it definitely hurts when a friendship ends, but I feel a lot better now because I have a group of positive, supportive friends. • • The message that I’m trying to get across is if you are dealing with a friendship ending, know that you aren’t alone. You don’t deserve to be treated badly by someone you consider a friend. If you are the one constantly making plans and reaching out only to receive cancellations once something better comes along, the person you think is a friend, isn’t. Don’t waste your time on people that don’t care about you. I wrote a blog post about my thoughts on friendship breakups, and if you want to check it out, the link is in my bio. • • #smorehappiness #theeverygirl #friendshipbreakup #njblogger #postitivevibes #letsgosomewhere #cultivatekindness #aquietlifestyle #chasinglight #thehappynow #seeksimplicity
Time. Yesterday the quote on my desk calendar said something like, “there’s no such thing as never enough time. If you want something, you’ll make time for it.” It got me thinking about how I allocate my days and weeks. • • I usually get home from work around 5. That leaves me with 5 hours to do whatever I want. Instead of wondering how other people have plenty of time to achieve their goals and chalking it up to “luck,” I’ve realized that success isn’t based on luck. It’s based on hard work, sacrifices, and consistency. • • So over the past few weeks I’ve been working on decreasing my Netflix binge watching and scrolling aimlessly on my phone and focusing more on how I’m actually spending my time. What I’ve noticed is that I have time to work on some of the things I want to accomplish. It’s amazing what can happen when you eliminate some of the distractions and keep your head down and focused. • • #smorehappiness #tuesdaythoughts #createcultivate #bloomyellow #maketime #dreamchaser #goaldriven #beyourself #bereal #happinessproject #theeverygirl #influencehercollective #njblogger #summervibes #presentoverperfect
Carefree. Why is it that as kids we aren’t afraid to be ourselves? We aren’t burdened with the thoughts of what others will think. Instead, we wear and say what we want and live our lives to the fullest. • • After listening to podcasts, reading books, & talking with Travis, I realized that life’s too short to not be who you are. While I haven’t been a completely different person, there’s been things that I was afraid of sharing and clothes that I never would have thought to wear. These shoes and this post are an example of that. • • In middle school, I started to think that being different wasn’t a good thing. I wore what would make me fit in and the last thing I wanted to do was stand apart from the crowd. Over the past year, I’ve been experimenting with my style and overall mentality. • • I bought these @keds by @riflepaperco after contemplating for a few days. I asked Travis, but will these shoes make me look weird?! He stopped me and said, no. How can you be weird if you’re being yourself? That made me realize that I really need to work hard on not caring what others think as much & just be myself. • • Today, a new post is on the blog about how to be yourself on social media. I talk about my struggle with being more open and sharing things that are more personal. • • #smorehappiness #keds #kedsstyle #riflepaperco #beyourself #carefree #summervibes #bloomyellow #floralprint #flowers #veronapark #njblogger #nycblogger #tayloredforyou #influencehercollective #theeverygirl #summervibes #personalstyle #carefree #happinessblogger #behappy #beyou
Love. Dreaming big together is one of my favorite things to do. Talking about all of the things we hope to accomplish, the challenges we might face, & how we will grow together is so much fun. • • This past year has tested us in so many ways. We’ve gone through job changes and feeling stuck. I read something recently that said something along the lines of “being happy doesn’t mean that everything is perfect.” I can relate so much to this statement. Our relationship is by no means perfect. But, at the end of the day, I love spending time with Travis and we make each other happy. • • #smorehappiness #littlemomentsofhappiness #ourrelationship #relationshipthoughts #njblogger #nycblogger #collegesweethearts #theeverygirl #blogginggals #happinessproject #presentoverperfect
Confidence. I used to care so much about what other people thought about me. It affected so many different areas of my life. • • I used to never be so open on social media because I was afraid of being made fun of or laughed at. It wasn’t until recently, and Travis helped me get through it, where I thought why not? If I’m being myself, I shouldn’t care what others think. In fact, if people don’t like what I’m sharing or posting, they’ll unfollow and that is ok. • • I view social media as a place to connect, learn, grow, and be inspired. What I’m trying to say is don’t be afraid to be yourself in a space that is saturated with comparison. You’ll attract more of the people who relate and appreciate what you’re saying and repel the people who don’t. • • • #smorehappiness #beyou #beyourself #confidenceiskey #visitmaine #happythoughts #positivevibes #darlingweekend #theeverygirl #influencehercollective #createcultivate #blogginggals #bloomyellow #njblogger #littlemomentsofhappiness #lighthouse #nubblelighthouse
Breathe. Today, I had to remind myself of the quote from Nelson Mandela, “it always seems impossible until it’s done.” Like I mentioned in my last post, I love quotes, and I had this one written in my college dorm room at all times. I was about to write it on my calendar at work but got side-tracked with a bunch of other tasks. • • One of the things that I stop and try to do every day is get away from my desk and eat my lunch for 30 minutes. Not going to lie, some days are spent eating at my desk, but the majority of the time I’ll eat my lunch in our cafe. Without that time, I’ll find that I’m not as productive and clear-headed. • • I think that it is so important to find ways to take care of yourself throughout the day. It can be easy to let other things take over your schedule, but those little moments of self-care really make a huge difference! • • • #smorehappiness #letsgosomewhere #aquietlifesfyle #makemoments #livesimple #chasinglight #petitjoys #lifeofadvenutre #collectivelycreate #liveauthentic #pursusewhatislovely #creativityfound #thehappynow #cultivatekindness #choosejoy #lessworkmorelife  #flashesofdelight #njblogger #nycblogger #americaneagle #theeverygirl #aeriestyle #influencehercollective #visitmaine
Patience. It’s something that I’m actively working on in so many different areas of my life. To be honest, I don’t think there’s ever enough patience, and without it, it can be easy to wish your life away. For as long as I can remember, I’ve never felt fully settled. There is always a next step or something that I’m working towards achieving. I used to think that I would only be happy when I achieved something that I planned for. But, what ended up happening was once I hit that milestone, I started looking to the next and not appreciating where I was. • • What stopped me was a quote I found on Pinterest (I’m a huge quote fan) that said something along the lines of appreciating where you are now because you once wished for it or the things you have now, someone else is praying for. It can be so easy to take for granted the positives in life. I think society trains us to focus on the negatives because it scares us into doing so many things. • • So, what I challenged myself to do was to remember that quote anytime I started feeling impatient about not knowing what my future holds. Like I mentioned in my YouTube video, I don’t know what the next 5 years hold. I’m starting to change my mindset of being scared/impatient about seeing what happens to be open to the possibilities, adventures, growth, and happiness that lies ahead. • • #smorehappiness #cultivatekindness #liveintentional #mydarlinglife #thehappynow #theartofslowliving #wholeheartedliving #lovelysquares #seeksimplicity #cultivatewhatmatters #thatauthenticfeeling #choosejoy #aquietlifesfyle #livesimple #chasinglight #thehappynow #theeverygirl #influencehercollective #njblogger #nycblogger
