8 Things I've Done This Summer To Better Myself

This summer I have focused strictly on personal development and getting back into loving myself. Here are some things that have helped me...


Dyed my hair 

My hair was definetly due for a new color, so I dyed it black and got some blonde highlights in there.

Started a side hustle 

I now have a second job working from my phone and making some extra cash!

Podcasts

A week ago, I thought podcasts were the strangest things. Like who wants to listen to someone talk?? Apparently I did, one podcast and I was in love.

Wake up early 

Personally, if I worked at 4 pm, I would sleep until 3 pm because that is how bad my depression is. Now, I am waking up at 8 or 9 and starting my day and getting things done around the house!

Read a book 

I've been reading books that I can relate to. It just gets me out of my thoughts and out of my head for a little.

Watching my spending 

I think the biggest stressor for me is my money. I hate living paycheck to paycheck or knowing that I am almost out of money. I've cut down on eating out in order for me to have money in my account.

Put my phone down for hours 

Technology and social media is such a necessity in our lives. I've cut down my phone usage to make sure I am focusing on me.

Face masks 

A face mask helps me relax!

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

8tracks radio

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer.
