I am back with my third Five Thoughts + Advice post and this one’s going to be good. Life updates, career talk, and much more. The past few weeks have been crazy busy, but so much fun and I’m excited to fill you guys in…
#1: Good things come to those who wait
The right opportunity will come when you’re ready for it. I think it’s important to realize that everyone in life is on a different path. I am sooo excited to announce that ya girl is officially employed as a Social Media Specialist! Social media, branding, and content creation is something I am so passionate about. I’m blessed to call being in this creative space a job now. It took some time for me to find the right opportunity, but I kept positive and put my trust into the universe. LA can be a tough beast, but if you stick it out, great things can happen for you out here. Patience, positivity, and trusting the universe. 🙂
#2: You are the most important thing in your life
You really only have yourself in this life, and I don’t mean that to sound dark, but think about it. Oftentimes we avoid focusing on ourselves and give our attention so much to others. I am 100% guilty of this. This is something that I wanted to include in this post specifically because we’re talking about career, passions, and creating a life for you. I have to remind myself sometimes to go get a workout in… because I know I’ll feel so much better afterwards. I remind myself to take the time to read an educational piece… because continually learning is up to you. My point is, you are the most important thing in your life, so listen to your mind and body and don’t neglect yourself.
#3: Take advantage of every opportunity to learn more about your passion
This is something I’ve been doing a lot more of lately. My passions range from fashion styling to growing a business to health & wellness. We all ultimately have that one thing that we’re extremely passionate about. The best thing you can do is take that passion and learn everything about it. I’ve been trying to make time to read more blog posts, listen to business podcasts, and research.
#4: The best social platform other than Instagram
PINTEREST. I’m obsessed with Pinterest as you can probably tell if you follow me on Instagram. I find a ton of fashion inspiration on there and love to share it with all of you. I wanted to talk about Pinterest because it’s a platform that I really reach for lately for inspiration. Everything from recipes to home decor inspo, Pinterest has it all. Feel free to follow my Pinterest by clicking HERE!
#5: Find a system that works for you
This means something different to everyone. For me, this is formulating a schedule and routine that makes me feel productive and happy at the same time. I know that if I’ve been super productive for most of my day, I need scheduled time to relax and unwind. Something simple like taking an hour out of my day to catch up on a tv show can boost my mood. Whether you’re super busy with school or work, try to implement things in your life that cause balance. It’s so important to form your everyday life in a way that makes you feel productive, but also satisfied.
Lots of good things are happening! I hope that you guys enjoyed the advice and the life update. Don’t forget to follow me on Instagram so that you can stay up to date every time a new post goes live! Leave comments below & let me know what you thought of this series <3
