Today marks the journey that I have finally decided to start my blog.
A little bit about me:
- I’m a student currently in university studying Psychology
- I’m interested in the brain and our behaviour (hence, the studying psychology)
- I’m a dog person but I love (almost) all animals
- I live in Canada
- I strive to be a better person each and everyday and hope that other people do the same
I’ve thought about starting a blog in the past but never really got around to it because I didn’t really think I could do it and I didn’t know what I could have talked about. What really motivated me to help people was not so much the words I’m saying but the impact it has on myself. I recently had a lecture about Positive Psychology, which is essentially a proactive approach to Psychology which focuses on strengths of individuals. It is psychology that is essential for everyone to have effective self-care. Basically the gist of it is working on strategies to increase self esteem to prevent mental health problems and promote a thriving mental health.
What you can be expecting on this blog:
- Storytimes (I have a lot of happy stories that I’m just waiting to share!)
- Work Experiences (I will be working full-time in the summer in a laboratory so I’ll have lots to say about that.)
- Past Experiences (I have some really negative ones that I am working on resolving within myself so hopefully some of you can relate and share your own experiences if you feel comfortable.)
- Random Facts about Me (I’m sure, through reading my stories, you will find out lots about me and about my personality.)
- Gratitude (I don’t respect all that I have, all that I’ve been given. I want to appreciate the small things more.
** Just a note: all of these experiences that I’m sharing are my own unless otherwise specified. I appreciate all positive feedback and sharing of our hurts as it can bring a community together. Ultimately, I’m writing this blog to be selfish. I’m sharing my own experiences and you can choose to respect them or not respect them but I am choosing to share them to make myself feel better. I’m proud of my writing skills and whether you follow me or not doesn’t really matter to me. I’m making this for me so I just wanted to put that out there **
Thanks for reading the first one. More to come and much love! ❤
