Curious title, I know. It is a fun one though, and has some meaning to it. In the past couple of months I have taken a break from writing, and various sorts of activities that I found myself doing in the last couple of years. Not all good, but not all bad either. After some much needed time of living and thinking, I feel ready to come back to write!

I stopped writing particularly because I felt that I was losing touch with myself, and that my words had little value. They were my thoughts, but in a weird way I couldn't understand them. I think that can happen to all of us a time or two, so I thought taking a break would be good for me. In many regards, I GOT MY MOJO BACK!

If you don't understand what I would probably consider slang of one "getting their mojo back", I will explain. For me it means getting yourself back into the swing of things. A lot of times it is referenced as a guy getting his pick up lines just right to get his dream girl. However, it can relate to many things! I reference it as getting yourself to a noticeable self, and excited to live the life given to you.

I struggle to find what makes me happy, and I know I am not alone. I struggle with what I want to do, who I am, and finding that person to spend the rest of my life with. I struggle with the ins and outs of everyday. And in repeating my man Sean Mendes, "Sometimes it all gets a little too much". Life got complicated and I lost what made me excited to seize the day. How I approached getting my mojo back was asking those big daunting questions to myself of what I wanted and who I wanted to be. I gave myself time to be still, observing the world around me. I found a lot of wrong answers, I found things that inspired me, and not always joyfully, I worked on myself day in and day out. Getting one's mojo back isn't the same for everyone, but it looks similar. Deep down you know who you are, it is just unraveling the layers can be difficult.

Mojo is like magic: I know it stays with me. It can be the glitter in your eye or even what gets you going each morning. In my dedication to find myself, I found some of my mojo. Yes, I repeat, it is not all back, but that is okay because it gives me something to strive for each day. Some of my mojo includes:

1.Putting thought into how I present myself with my clothes, hair, and makeup.

2. Going on random adventures, sometimes by myself.

3. Respecting myself to dictate how I expect others to respect me. I spoke up for the wrong that was being done to me.

4. Running and exercising.

5. Picked 1 thing to be excited about each morning.

I urge everyone to get their mojo back if they feel they have lost it. Maybe you feel you have simply lost yourself. It is okay. We all have (they are lying if they said they haven't). Know it is okay to doubt. Be calm and still. The answers will come. Perhaps some of my experiences can help you.

NOW GO GET YOUR MOJO BACK!
