Nothing like that fresh journal feeling.
Journaling has become an absolute staple for me, across all my life domains.
I have found that taking even 10min daily of writing, organizing my thoughts, or planning out my week does wonders for my weekly flow.

There's a balance needed to continue forward momentum

Stop focusing on things that don't matter.
Building on social media, means not getting sucked into the addictive, shadow side of socials.

There's a piece of you that's begging you to finally step into your purpose.
New year's resolutions tend to get some flak on the timeline, but it's whitenoise imo

Follow your passion IS NOT terrible advice.
