How to Embrace Change and Why It’s Good for You

September 27, 2020 7 Comments

Changes happens no matter what. Understanding how to embrace change and welcome it can help your outlook on life and how you handle challenges that come your way.

In this past year has been roller coaster full of changes for all of us. Covid has changed the way we work, travel, and even go about our day-to-day lives in ways we could have never imagined. And learning how to embrace that change has been a challenge for myself and I’m sure many others as well.

With the change of seasons, I thought it would be fitting to talk a little about how to embrace changes, both positive and seemingly negative changes. I know first hand that change isn’t always easy. But the truth is, learning how to accept life changes are part of the forward progression in life and embracing change rather than fighting, it will always be better in the long run.

How to Embrace Changes in Life

Tips on how to handle change in your life whether it's welcomed or not.

Change happens no matter what

You know the saying, “the only thing constant is change.” It’s pretty much one of the facts of life. Everything is constantly changing, the seasons change, your situation changes, and just about everything is in a constant state of flux.

I know we can all agree adjusting to changes can be difficult, but also important. But why do we struggle with change? That’s because your brain is wired to do the same thing over and over, regardless of whether it’s is good or bad for you. Often you do things for so long you don’t even know why you do them any more.

Even though going through changes in your life can be challenging, but the positive consequence can be really awesome once you get through the bumps in the road.

The beauty of change and impermanence

The impermanence of life is one of the things that make it so beautiful and unique. Many changes can can have positive outcomes, and even the ones that haven’t been ideal, allow for growth and progression.

Change can allow for many things to be possible. It can allow you to enjoy new experiences, develop new skills and ideas, learn new knowledge and information, and achieve great feats.

Change can help you transform and have breakthroughs. You’ll never know what can become and what can happen until you do.

Think of change as positive thing

I fully believe change is good for you. Even when things seems tough, you are learning and growing as a person. Change can happen slowly or overnight, either way, try not to fixate on the things you can’t make a difference on.

Learning how to deal with unwanted to change is about finding acceptance. And that is definitely a lesson that takes time. But just like everything else in life with, with practice and patience you will discover that focusing your time on things you can control will result in growth and resilience.

When it comes down to it, change is all about personal development. You need to learn to be flexible enough to go to with the flow, while keeping your eye on the goal.

Embracing change and looking at it as an opportunity

It’s typical when we get in routine of doing things, we rarely venture to try new things. But with new changes in life, work, and situations forces you out of your comfort zone.

Learning how to embrace change allows your assumptions get challenged and along with that your opinions, mindset, and routine of life. As a result, you must find a new way do to things and look at things. And the biggest changes often provides a new chance to reevaluate what you really want out of your life.

It’s human nature is to focus on how changes can negatively affect you. We often forget is how much of a positive opportunity change can present. Remember that your mindset is everything, how you look at the change will determine how it effects you.

Instead of looking at how is disrupts your life, look at the doors it opens and how you can take advantage of it. Whether it’s as small change in your work schedule or as big as moving across the country, the possibility is all up to you.

Tips on how to embrace change and how learning to do so will help improve your life.

Overthinking: Why We Do it and How to Stop it

6 strategies to stop overthinking and help manage your thoughts

September 19, 2020September 27, 2020 16 Comments

Overthinking is something we all do, but when we do it too much it can become and issue. Learn tips and trick on how to stop overthinking and why we do it..

Thinking and worrying is something we all do and a natural part of being human. But when we do it to much, it can be a become an issue. I know that I”m not the only one that has struggled with overthinking things. So today I wanted to share some strategies I’ve used on how to stop overthinking and worrying.

Your thoughts are a powerful thing. They’re are the seed that becomes your reality, and that’s a great thing if you’re planting good thoughts. But if they’re negative thoughts and thinking too much about them.. that’s not good at all, especially when you start going down a wormhole of contemplation and rumination.

Overthinking and Why We Do It

Overthinking can be bad for your mental health and wellness. 5 actionable tips on how to stop overthinking everything.

The last few months I’ve had a little more time on my hands. This is great considering my life was pretty hectic before – juggling work, my blog, family and an active social life. But with that extra time, I noticed I began overthinking things a whole lot more.

Instead of considering all the things that could go right, I would ruminate about all the things that could go wrong. I would let fear overcome me and second-guess my decisions. This became tiring and paralyzing to the point it was difficult to for me to make any choices at all.

Oddly enough, overthinking and worrying allowed me feel like I was control of something that I had no control over. When I mulled over every possible outcome I felt in charge, even though it became emotionally draining.

Overthinking became my method of handling stressful situations and it got to a point where my day would vanish into thin air because I couldn’t stop thinking about what was bothering me.

I knew that overthinking hadn’t always been a problem for me. And if I have developed a habit of overthinking, I could certainly unlearn this habit as well.

So over the last few weeks I’ve been working on pulling myself out of spiral of overthinking and here are some tips that I’ve learned that have helped me.

How to Stop Overthinking Everything

Easy tips on how to stop overthinking, why we do it and how to stop it.

6 Strategies on How to Stop Overthinking and Worrying

1. Awareness is the first step

Take a moment to pay attention to the way you think. Before you figure out how to stop overthinking, you’ll need to learn to be aware of it when it’s happening.

Any time you find yourself doubting or feeling stressed or anxious, step back and look at the situation and how you’re responding. In that moment of awareness is the seed of the change you want to make.

2. Challenge your negative thoughts

In many cases, overthinking is caused by the emotion of fear of dealing with the unknown. Learn to recognize this and challenge these thoughts. When you focus on all the negative things that may happen, it’s easy to become paralyzed with indecision.

Instead of creating scenarios of what could go wrong, trying to visualize all the things that can go right and keep those thoughts present and up front. Try the focus on active problem-solving. Ask yourself what you can do about your situation and the good that can come out of it.

3. Put things into perspective.

It’s easy for your mind to make problems look bigger and more negative than they really are. The next time you catch yourself making a mountain out of a molehill, ask yourself how much this thought will matter in five years. Or, for that matter, next month. Just asking this simple question and changing up the time frame, you can help shut down overthinking.

4. Set time limits for your worrying

By setting aside a set amount of time for your worrying, you won’t end up spending the whole day doing it. The next time you catch yourself overthinking or worrying, set a timer for 15 minutes. Flush out all your thoughts in that time, and then move on with the rest of your day.

This tip has been particularly effective for me. I find it’s a good balance that allows me to spend a set about of time trying to deal with my issues, then move on from it so I’m not dwelling on my thoughts.

5. Practice mindfulness and being present

Try living in present moment of your everyday life, rather spending it in past or a possible future. One method I use to bring myself to the present is having a moment of mindfulness.

How I do this is find a comfortable space and take 1-2 minutes to focus fully on what is going on around me. I go through each of my senses, taking a moment feel, hear, sense, smell and see what’s going on around me. This helps me bring me to the present and help me to refocus my thoughts.

6. Keep yourself occupied

Another method that’s helpful for how to stop overthinking is immersing yourself in an activity you enjoy, or trying a new activity all together. Some of my go-to methods are:

Working out
Going for a walk with my dog
Trying out a new recipe in the kitchen
Reading a book
Listening to a podcast

Hope this post was helpful for you!

How to Wear Cropped Jeans: 4 Ways to Style Them for Fall

September 13, 2020September 20, 2020 30 Comments

As a die hard skinny jean lover I cringed when cropped straight leg and flared jeans started growing in popularity. I promptly swore them off immediately. But here we are a few seasons later and I’ve finally decided to join the club. And it turns out, once I figured out how to wear cropped jeans, I quickly fell in love with them.

Being on the petite side, I had stayed away from wearing cropped jeans for so long because I felt like they would visually shorten my already short legs. And while they used to baffle me, once I realized how to wear cropped jeans I became completely and utterly obsessed,

I’ve really come to love the relaxed crop jeans feel. And found they were also a little more interesting and on-trend than your average skinny jean. So here are some of my personal styling tips on how to wear cropped jeans along with 4 cropped jean outfits for fall!

How to Wear Cropped Jeans – Styled 4 Ways

What shoes to wear with cropped jeans: Option #1 mules are great option as they show off a little ankle and lengthen the legs

1. Show a little ankle

When it comes to styling cropped jeans, knowing what shoes to wear with cropped jeans is very key.

If you’re worried about cropped pants truncating your legs, try wearing them with a shoes that shoes a little with of ankle like a mule or slide style sandal. While showing a little ankle is sexy, it also helps to elongate the legs.

I also find wearing cropped jeans with a mule looks very modern in an effortless chic way. It’s one of my personal favourite ways of wearing them.

In this outfit here, I’ve pair my boot cut cropped jeans with an almond toe mule. The almond toe mule helps to lengthen the leg by showing off more of the leg and extending the foot with the almond shape toe.

To keep things casual, for this look I’ve paired my cropped jeans with a simple cami and balloon sleeve sweater. It’s the perfect weekend casual look for fall that’s checks off both boxes for chic and comfortable.

2. Embrace the Casual Nature

Cropped boot cut jeans have a natural relaxed sense about them. So embrace the casual nature of cropped jeans and rock them with sneakers and a sweater.

Like the previous tip, I like to wear them with a low cut sneaker to show off the ankle and lengthen the leg.

This is one of my go-to daily outfit combinations for when I’m wearing my cropped denim. I love it because it’s an easy look that can be thrown together in a flash, but something about the cropped denim gives adds that it factor.

3. Get Elevated

To dress up them your casual cropped denim, try wearing them with a pair of pointed toe shoes. This is a great way to elevate the look, plus wearing a pointed toe shoe is another leg elongating tip. Then throw on a blazer and you’re all set!

For this look, I’ve decided to do a mix of casual and office. I dressed up cropped boot cut denim with some pointed toe sling backs and a blazer, but dressed the look down by pairing them with a casual striped tee and a newsboy cap. Together it’s the perfect combination of every day with a little edge.

4. Boot Up

When it start getting chilly, wearing boots is a great option for how to wear cropped jeans in the winter and those chillier fall days! Just make sure they’re a pair that are slim around the ankle or a lower cut ankle boot. Either of these option creates a more flattering leg lengthening silhouette.

In this look, I’ve styled my boot cut cropped jeans with slim suede ankle boot, a sweater tee layered with a wool coat and accessorized wool floppy hat. It comes together as a great daily fall look that will keep you cozy and comfortable as the weather gets cooler.
