Avoid FOMO Reflex
Managing how to be present and plugged in to everyone and everything at the same time can be exhausting. Although the current cultural climate suggests any sensible and advised individual be well versed in the subject matter of every trending topic, let’s face it. It’s an unreasonable request.
Managing how to be present and plugged in to everyone and everything at the same time can be exhausting. Although the current cultural climate suggests any sensible and advised individual be well versed in the subject matter of every trending topic, let’s face it. It’s an unreasonable request. The art of maintaining a productive lifestyle revolves around the ability to strategically identify what behaviors align with keeping you at your most productive (as it relates to accomplishing your goals).
Becoming hyper-sensitive and over exposed in an over-the-top tabloid driven social media climate creates a loss of perspective. As entertaining headlines become even more polarizing, where is the added value? It can be challenging to find reasons to fight the irresistible urge to stop scrolling, liking, retweeting and deep diving further into click bait taglines that ignite the impulsive errors of the FOMO (fear of missing out) reflex.
Never assume the best finds are taking place online. Balance interest with intrigue. Although you will find great points of interest. Remember, the best moments are discovered when you’re at the center of the action. Live the moments you love to see. Experience the best of yourself through the tasks you complete. This post is not to suggest that you stop scrolling. The objective is to encourage you to maintain an unbiased view of your affiliations and expectations.
4 Chic Beauty Tips to Unlock the Bombshell Beauty Mindset
4 Chic Beauty Tips to Unlock the Bombshell Beauty Mindset
Those claiming makeup is overrated and it’s all about bare face beauties have some of you on edge. Don’t be. There’s always a new trend to chase. Having hydrated, toned, and smooth skin is not a new concept. Infact, that’s what everyone hopes to achieve with their skincare routine. But, for those of us who enjoy a little color, there’s nothing wrong with that either. It’s ok to add some definition to your face. Here are a few things to consider when debating how to update and simplify your beauty regimen:
Bombshell Beauty Mindset
Embrace Your Natural Aesthetic
Start with a skincare routine that meets your needs. Find a cleanser that’s not too abrasive when removing dirt and dead skin.
Update Your Beauty Looks
Update your look throughout the year. Incorporate a new color palette to accentuate your face keeping it fresh and current.
Achieve A Natural Low Maintenance Beauty Glow
Mask and hydrate your skin regularly. Be sure to include a facial and body cream with a sun protection factor (SPF) to shield your skin from over exposure.
Treat Makeup as a Garnish and Not the Main Ingredient
Remember, you were born beautiful. You choose to accentuate your assets. Foundation helps to create a photo ready fun face that can help hide blemishes and scars or just add a little color. Apply as much or as little as you prefer.
Final Note: Before following a trend always consider what works best for you. There’s nothing wrong with staying in your comfort zone. When you’re ready for something new be bold and embrace it all the way.
Build New Habits
As the year comes to a close, allow yourself some time to reflect on the people, places, and things that were instrumental in creating your most productive moments. This can be challenging. After all, no one will ever be perfect. Fight the urge to negatively critique yourself though your previous flaws. Build new habits. Teach yourself to celebrate your wins; this includes improving your strategy by excepting the mistakes that lead to your greatest lessons over the past 12 months. Admit that you don’t have it all figured out. Once you identify the gaps in your thinking, perhaps your curiosity may lead you toward a new path of enlightenment and information.
Calendar Planning 101
If you’re a busy person at some point you’ve probably felt the need to negotiate your own schedule. Making yourself a top priority isn’t as narcissistic as it seems. Yet, so many people are still struggling to maintain balanced schedules. There are going to be some disappointments along the way. But the truth is, getting comfortable with telling people “NO” will create more openings for you to discover the potential power of commanding your routine.
Set concrete boundaries. This may come off arrogant, rude or dismissive to those in need of your undivided attention. However, don’t back down. After all, the key is to become more productive. When you’re able to organize your key priorities your days, weeks, and months will become more enjoyable. In the meantime, focus on making the people around you feel seen, heard, and valued. Stay connected to the crew that fuels you. Just be sure you check your calendar before committing to any extra unplanned activities.
Thanksgiving Gratitude
When you feel like everything around you is uncomfortably closing in on your ability to stretch beyond the limits of your creativity, smile and breathe deeply. Do all things well and without regret. This holiday season is a great opportunity to let go of what didn’t happen. Give yourself the gift of forgiveness and offer it with love to anyone who has brought you frustration. The biggest moments are the ones we think about the most. So, remind yourself lovingly to let things go.
Keep a list of things you’ve survived that make you worthy of every win you’ve ever achieved. Keep a statement of hope on your lips and in your mind reminding you that greatness is in everything and not just everyone. There are so many things to be grateful for that stretch beyond surviving the uncertainty of the economy, starting a new career, moving to a new town, or hosting your first family holiday gala. Believe with purpose that your days will be fruitful and strong. Speak as many kind words as you can to everyone you meet. Share a smile. All the disappointments you encountered through out the year is helping you bring your life into perspective. Invite laughter in your life and choose joy. Develop your own recipe for gratitude.
