Word of the Month!: Positivity

February 2, 2016

hey guys!

so the word I picked for this month is

positivity!

I picked positivity because I always find myself being negative about myself and I feel like being positive is just better because it causes positive affects.

how will i try to be positive this month?

I am going to try to be positive this month by surrounding my self by the people who bring out the best in me, and try to bring out the best in the others who are around me.

hope you all enjoyed this little post where I shared this month’s word that I will focus on and will try to become better at this February!

please comment/like if you enjoyed this post and feel free to comment asking further questions about my word of the month!

Word of the Month!: Focus

January 5, 2016

hey guys!

I was inspired by Navy Striped Peonies to do a word of the month for every month starting in January! So for January I picked….

focus

i picked focus because up coming this month I have my finals, and I would like to focus on the positive stuff in my life instead of the negative parts of my life.

how will i try to be more focused this month?

i can become more focused by watching less netflix, using less social media and planning my time better.

hope you all enjoyed this little post where I shared this month’s word that I will focus on and will try to become better at!

please comment/like if you enjoyed this post and feel free to comment asking further questions about my word of the month!
