Before 2026 started, I had planned out how I wanted things to go. I wrote down all the goals I wanted to accomplish and broke them down into smaller, more manageable goals that I can work towards. Let’s just say that technically I’ve already failed. I haven’t been following my goal plan like I’ve been hoping to do. We’ve been eating out a lot this month and I’m still struggling to put my phone down and away from me. You can find my goals here. I haven’t been on top of it like I should be to get myself healthier physically and mentally. Hopefully, I’m not the only one in this boat. But why exactly do we self-sabotage ourselves?

Learn to be okay with yourself
This is honestly something that I really need to work on. For as long as I can remember, I have never been okay with myself. I have never been okay with myself, and I’ve never changed it. So, how do you learn to be okay with yourself?

When trying to figure out what posts to do for February, I was having a hard time figuring out what to do. But then I thought of this one. The month of February is a good month to talk about boundaries with other people, but should you set boundaries for yourself? There are many reasons why you should set boundaries with yourself, and let me tell ya, this is a post that I really need to listen to this post as well.

Welcome to Owl Book World, where we talk about books, and now we’re expanding to talk about things in the world. I’ve always wanted to talk about more than just books, and here I am finally starting to. Today, I wanted to talk about how we feel comfortable in our own skin.

I’m going to be honest, I struggle with taking care of myself properly as a stay-at-home mom. Also, when I say focus on yourself, if you’re a stay-at-home mom, I don’t mean don’t take care of your kid. This by no means is saying that I’m going to ignore my kids just because I want to focue on myself. All this means is that I will try to focus on myself before they wake up, during quiet time, and when my husband gets home from work.

I have been wanting to write a post about this for a while. This is a hard one for me to write out because I hate admitting that I’m emotionally disconnected from people. Unfortunately, this is something that I have been kind of feeling for a while now.
I don’t feel like I’m awkward (even though I do have those moments). Plus, I feel as if I’m able to keep the conversations going. At least I’m able to keep a conversation going with someone who is pretty talkative. If they are awkward then I tend to struggle. That’s mostly because I’m introverted so I’m not naturally a talkative person.

It seems like over the past few years mental health problems have been on the rise. Not a whole lot of people are happy and enjoying their lives. We spend most of our lives on social media, phones, and computers. Prices for things are at an all-time high. Despite this, there are ways to change our circumstances. We can at least change the way we think and our mindset. Journaling is a good way to help with this and having journaling prompts can help with what we need to talk about. But if you don’t know what to talk about when it comes to journaling then having journal prompts can help with that tremendously.
What are journal prompts?
Journal prompts are questions that you give yourself to answer in your journal. I know there are a lot of times that when I try to journal I don’t know exactly what to talk about. But there are also a lot of times when I feel like I’m constantly repeating myself when I write in my journal.
I don’t want to constantly vent about the same thing or repeat about the things that I want to accomplish. That’s the great thing about having journal prompts! Unless you’re just wanting to use journaling to vent, then it would be a different story. Otherwise, I feel like journaling should kind of help you out and help you figure out where you should go next.

For as long as I remember I have always enjoyed journaling. For the most part, I have always used it to talk about my day or vent about what was going on in my day. Those were really good ideas at the time. That’s mostly because writing in my journal is like being able to talk to a friend and just letting all of my emotions out. At that time that’s how journaling helped me.
