NEW YEARS CHALLENGE

Hello peoples of the interwebs!!!!!!!

I have a challenge for you, and I really hope you choose to do it.

Okay, so this is an idea I got from tumblr :) Not sure of which blog but it consists of having a Jar (any jar that you like) and filling it up with little pieces of paper, like little notes, everytime something makes you smile. So for example if your boyfriend gave you flowers that day or you aced your math test write it on a little piece of paper with the date on it and put it in the jar.

By the end of the year you'll have you jar filled with good memories from the whole year and you can go back to them and remember all the little things that make you happy.

That's one, another one is getting a calendar and writing down everyday what you did. Read it at the end of the year. This works if you have bad memory (he he). This idea I got from Tyler Oakley, check his youtube channel if you don't know who he is.

COMMENT BELOW if you have any good ideas for documenting the new year, I would love to hear any that you have.

MUCH LOVE

Happy Holidays!

Hello Everyone! As you all may know it is December in we're in the middle of the holiday season. Honestly I'm super excited! I think this is the best time of year. Whether you are with your family, with your friends or with a special someone you can always feel that festive magic in the air.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful time with your loved ones! This is the time to reunite and strengthen relationships. It's the time to forgive and get along and make new memories. 

My wish for you is that you put aside any resentments with any person that you have, and forgive them. Remember that life is short and that we should live for moments like this where we hope for tomorrow and live enjoying the moment. 

As you may also know 2013 is days away! Start writing down your resolutions. Whether it is to start exercising  or to stop drinking soda or stop smoking, try to keep them for as long as you can!

To help you with that I have this awesome calendar that I found that I will be using. Print a copy for yourself put it on your wall or your refrigerator and make sure you are on top of your goals!

I wish you the best for what is left of this year and next! I look forward to hearing your resolutions.

Much Love <3

Relationships and Single Life

When it comes down to love, there are thousands of things we can talk about. Everybody islooking for it, everybody wants it, everyone is waiting for it and everyone dreams of it. But reality is, before you actually find "the one" (if there really is such a thing) there are going to be many times when you will be single. But we should never confuse being single with being alone. 

At the moment I am single, my last relationship didn't end so well. I actually took it pretty rough on myself. I cried a lot and I found every possible way I could to blame myself for it. (Long story short) It took me a while to realize that it was not the end of the world and that he was not the last guy on earth, and eventually I did get over him. And I think I’m in a really good place right now. 

The thing about being single is that you are in resting place, you could say. If you just got out of a relationship it's the time where you can re-make or strengthen your relationship with your friends; prepare yourself emotionally and mentally before you go back to battle. It is the place where you can establish that relationship with yourself again, where you are the main interest because in the end, the best and most important relationship you will have is with yourself. No matter who stays or who leaves you will always have you. And when there is no one there for you, you can be there for yourself to bring you back up again.

If you are bored or annoyed of being single and you are looking for a relationship please don’t do it for the wrong reasons. Don’t settle for less just because you don’t want to be single anymore. Everything happens for a reason and when you find the right person you’ll see it was worth the wait. I know it can get a little frustrating at times but always know that there is a plan for you, and someone is waiting to find you too.

Remember than being single isn't the worst thing in the world. And that love always comes and goes. Use this time when you are single to your advantage, explore, have fun, be with your friends, focus on yourself. Always remember: you're not going to be single forever.

Advice Post: Overthinking

     OVER THINKING. It happens to the best of us. There are some situations that may present themselves that cause us to over think and it usually makes everything a whole lot worse. 
Often, when we are presented with a decision that we have to make it might cause us to think over it very much. Many times we are divided into two options. Sometimes these may be: what other people want and what you want; what your heart feels and what your head thinks; what is right and what is wrong; what you want and what you need. Whatever the case may be in the end we always have to choose. 
When making a decision these are somethings I do to help me choose:

1. What is the best for me?
2. What do I really want for myself?
3. What is the worst that can happen? 
4. Which choice will influence my life the most in a positive way?

When making a decision you have to be selfish (of course this depends on what you are deciding on, I'll generalize to personal life decisions). You have to think on what you want what is going to make you happier. I personally think it is better to choose what your heart feels rather than what your head thinks because whatever your heart is feeling is obviously what is going to make you happier.   Heads think logically, and hearts feel sentimentally. I'd rather choose something that I will be okay with emotionally, that logically deciding it is what I need to do. 

Over thinking can cause us unnecessary stress and anxiety. If you have been thinking on something for a while now and it's making you stressed out, stop over-thinking, sleep on it and let time decide what is best for you. Whatever your choice may be, remember that nothing lasts forever and ultimately everything is going to be alright.  

The brighter side: 

• nothing lasts forever
• you can let time decide
• relax, you'll be okay.

FIRST

Hello there! Whoever it is that might be reading this blog post. As you may notice it is my first blog post… ever! I have opened this blog for some reason I’m not sure of, but mainly just to have fun. I do not expect people to read my posts but I sure wish someone will. As for what I will be writing here, I am not quite sure yet I’ll just go along with whatever I am inspired to write. The title of my blog is “Always a Bright Side” (as you may already be aware of). It’s a little concept I am trying to live on. Which basically consist not on ignoring the bad or negative aspects of life but rather recognizing them and realizing that there is also a bright side to everything, choosing to focus on the good instead. I hope to reflect that message on my blog posts one way or another.  As for now I leave you with  a picture of my face so that you are familiar with it (haha) and I really do think you are amazing if you are reading this right now. Thank you :)
