Pursuit of Happiness

Hi Everyone!
Today I am going to talk about something that is very important to me. That is happiness. I see so many people who are not happy and it makes me sad. I believe everyone deserves to be happy. If you are going through a tough time....you will get over that hard time. You may not see it now....but I promise you that things will turn out for the best. You just have to believe that good things will happen. Motivate yourself to live a happy lifestyle. But also, you have to believe in yourself. The number one tip to happiness in my opinion, is to believe in yourself.

For a long time, I did not believe in myself. I am 17 years old and I still have a lot of insecurities but everyone else does. To this day I am still struggling with that but I have learned that if I motivate myself, stay positive through the hardships and don't have a negative mindset, happiness will be a main focus in my life.

Some tips that I have learned to stay positive and be happy is self motivation. I highly suggest you do something you love. Even if you have a busy lifestyle, one day or maybe even one hour a week could be dedicated to what you love to do. Whether it is doing yoga , reading, surfing, snowboarding, playing a video game, watching YouTube videos, or just hanging out with your family. Doing something that your truly enjoy can make a huge difference on your outlook on life.

Now the positive mindset. It is so hard for people think positive sometime when things are not hard. But one thing you can do is just breathe. It is so simple but if you breathe, it can relax you a little in the moment and you can try to get through the situation. Another thing you can do is have a mantra. Whether it's, " Happiness is bliss.", " You are amazing.", " Be proud of yourself." Simple mantras like that can change your whole outlook on life. One mantra I say to myself is, "You are Sophia and no one can change that." Sometimes I have to say it multiple times but soon I feel a little better about myself. You all should try it. See if it works.

Doing these little things can change your outlook on life. It's hard to think past the hardships in life but you can do it. Stay positive. Be happy. If you put your mind on something, you can succeed and you will. Have a wonderful weekend!

Carpe Diem,
Sophia

Invisible Illness Series: Support

Hello everyone! Today's blog post is going to be a little emotional but I feel like it will probably help so many of you all. One thing I have noticed with having Endometriosis is how many people just do not get it. They do not understand why I am constantly in pain. They think that the pain that I am experiencing on a daily basis is something that everyone experiences. It is not. People who suffer from chronic pain can go hours at a time in excruciating pain that honestly is indescribable. And even then if people physically see you in pain, they do not care.They just think you are either faking it or being over dramatic. Well to those people I have this to say, you should be ashamed of yourself. Why would anyone fake being in agony for hours at a time. Why would anyone feel the need to be stuck in bed for a long time just because they just "don't feel like getting up". I have a feeling that many of you have experienced people like that in your life. Well let m

Review: Victoria Secret Seamless Racerback Bra

Hey everyone! So I never see anyone reviewing sports bras! So today I decided to review one! Now I HATE sport bras. Every sports bra that I have ever tried either suffocates my boobs (TMI...sorry!) or they are way to lose to support my boobs when I am working out. Now I am addicted to Victoria Secret Pink. I absolutely love every thing they have. I own way to much stuff from them so when I saw this new sports bra, I had to try it. It is the  Victoria Secret Pink Seamless Racerback Bra ! First Impression: I got it in the tie dye color in blue. When I first got it in the mail, the first thing I thought was how soft it was. Then I saw that it was a very thin material. I thought it was going to be a little thicker like most sports bras. I was kinda afraid that it will show my nips. (TMI!) I got it in a medium. First Time Wearing It: The first time I wore it was not to work out but to school. I got so many compliments from my friends. They all thought it was different because of

Book Review: Bones Never Lie by Kathy Reichs

Another book review!? Yes! Today I have another book review for you all and it is going to be a good one! So this novel was one of the galleys that my mom got for me at BEA. (Book Expo America) Just a warning is that this novel does not come out until September 23. But you can always pre-order it if you are interested. The novel is called  Bones Never Lie by Kathy Reichs .  Now I will give you a little background about why I read this book. When I was in 6th grade, my Biology teacher put on the show Bones for us to watch. And from that day to 10th grade, I wanted to be a forensic anthropologist. Now to this day I love forensics, I think it is super fascinating but I am just not good at biology. Anyways, the show Bones was based off of Kathy Reichs and her life as a forensic anthropologist. Now a forensic anthropologist is someone who studies human bones and  figures out what happened to that person. How they died, if they were murdered, did they have any health problems, stuff
