How to Lift Your Spirits
Unlike clinical depression which can’t be explained, situational depression is seen as less serious (whilst still being serious), but with a change of factors. It is possible for it to go away over time. Differentiating between the two types can help identify potential treatment options, so if you are requiring help, please seek out a medical professional. In this article, I’ll be suggesting a few things you can do whilst living with mild situational depression, to try to lift your spirits and to make something of your day. So, what can you try to get yourself motivated for things ahead?

How to Know When You're Doing Too Much
I found myself on my vacation day in bed sick, stuffy nose, achy, and exhausted. This was a bummer for me because in reality I was planning on using my vacation day from the office as a working on my tasks and chores kind of day. I wanted to catch up more on office work, get more forms organized for my blog, write more blog posts, finish some paintings for upcoming art shows, start some new paintings, needed to do laundry, had some research topics to tackle, clean and organize my room… the list was forever long (geez just thinking about all these to-do's makes me exhausted).

You Do Have a Choice
You do have a choice. I chose self-love. It became unbearable to choose anything else. I use ‘choose’ relatively; many things do not feel like choices. I thought I did not have a choice for most of my life, because if I did anything different from what I was supposed to, I risked punishment and potentially losing my family. In simple terms, I grew up in a cult. Literally.

Pain Has a Purpose—Use It!
In a world of 'Good vibes only', it leaves us to question: Is there a place for the 'Baddie vibes,' besides the deep pit in your stomach of denial? Can't we just lose ourselves in humour and distraction by imagining them in cute little biker jackets and shades, or as super-villains shrouded in capes and mystery causing trouble instead?

Is Repetition a Detriment to Our Creativity?
If you’ve read some of my thoughts and articles before you already know my answer to this. If you haven’t come across anything I’ve shared, my answer is… YES. Don’t get me wrong, repetition is useful and purposeful in many cases, but it definitely takes away from your true personal identity. It takes away from what makes you an individual, and let me tell you why.

Changing Your Home to Promote Self-Improvement
Sometimes is can be hard willing yourself to do things that we actually want to do. Getting motivation to help yourself improve your life can come from anywhere. One of the places we can get this motivation for self improvement from is our home. The homes we live in can have an affect on the things we do on a daily basis. If your home is cluttered or messy, it can cause your everyday life to be cluttered and messy. There are ways that you can change your home to promote self improvement in your life. Doing these things, especially if you have started to feel lazy or unproductive, can be a big help.

My Room
I was sitting in a dark room. Pitch black. I had a flashlight, but the batteries were old. The light wasn’t as bright as it used to be. I knew the room was full, but I wasn’t able to see my surroundings clearly until I got close to them. I was stumbling, bumping into old furniture and boxes. Feeling my way around, trying to make sense of the clutter. For so long, I had been surrounded by the mess. It was overwhelming. And then, I found the light switch.

War in My Head
This is my first creator's story. This picture is proof that people who put a smile on their face throughout many moments of their day can still be a true mess on the inside. If you haven’t figured already, that’s me in the picture above. I figured I would start my first creator's story introducing myself and giving you a little info on what I have been struggling with on a daily basis.

Commitment
Commitment. It is defined as the state or quality of being dedicated to a person, thing, cause, or activity. It is a moral act and it sounds simple enough, yet so many fail at fulfilling it. Why? There are myriad reasons, but this is not our topic of conversation today. Today I am speaking from the standpoint of why commitment is necessary to win—in marriage, in relationships, in life.

The Best Laid Plans...
As you come to know me, you will learn that I am a HUGE planner! Oh, yes, I do entertain spontaneity with the best of them, but planning ahead and working towards creating memories and organizing/researching the perfect vacation, day trip or party is my sweet spot.
