     ''I don't have to take this day all at once, but rather, one step, one breath, one moment at a time''                        The past weekend I  decided not to do anything school related but rather to take my time and focus on other things in my life one of which is my blog. I was  supposed to  have my new post ready by Monday but I  guess that didn't go as plan  because  I will be posting this on Thursday. Lately I have been pressuring myself to the point where I f elt  as though  I  wasn't  doing  enough. I mean it's true that I s till have a long way to go which might not be smooth but the thought of it alone makes me worried to the point that I start to ask myself questions like what have you done today? Is what you did enough? why didn't you do more? or can't you do  more?  This pressure eventually became worse over the course ...

    '' you are one decision away from a totally different life'' Not too long ago i decide to pick up new hobbies since i was looking to raise my confidence level. My intention was to try as much as i could and see which one i would be able to stick to the longest. I tried exercising, stretching, cooking, painting and reading. However i have only been faithful to about three of them which is exercising, reading and painting especially. If i was told i would come to like painting as much as I do now i would have definitely laughed at that person. Now a days i literally spend a lot of time on pinterest viewing other people's works and wishing i could do the same. When i go to the supply stores i try not to spend to much on painting accessories or tools(don't know which one is right). I guess that's how excited i am to learn how to paint. I also started to keep a journal which i will be sharing with you guys when it's complete but for the mean time...

              '' until you cross the bridge of your insecurities , you can't begin  to explore your possibilities''               As far as I  know one  of  the  greatest battle we will ever fight as humans is that against ourselves. Until we are able to defeat our minds and be in control, we  will constantly struggle with things like living out of our comfort  zone . For as long as I c an  remember I  used to be the type to lay on my bed thinking and imaging what I  want to do and even seeing myself in those situations but at the end of the day, well I n ever  really did anything to get me to those places. I  used to be so sacred of doing something new so I  wouldn't come off to others as been too  much .  I used to tell myself to stick to what I am  already known for that way I  wouldn't attract so many  attentions ...

         '' Confidence is like a muscle. The more you use it, the stronger it gets ''   I know the tittle says how I raised my confidence level which will mean I am done raising my confidence level but that isn't really the case. The reason being that to gain confidence really needs time.  Obviously,  I am not yet where I want to be but I can say am on the way there. Been the old me  I  used to be the type to read meaning into everything people do and wonder about what they taught about. In  fact,  then  I'd  go to bed every night replaying almost all the conversation  I  have had  through out  the day wondering about what impression  I  had on so  so ,  and so. Well  I  guess majority of us  kind of  have those faces in our lives but am happy to have been able to recognize that and is working on it. Here is a list of things that worked for me and is st...
