It’s whatever you feel like you need to grow in or work on. But there are some basic habits that can help you start your personal growth process.

Simple.
Do you ever wake up in the morning and just feel empty? You feel as though your life has no purpose? You feel as though you aren't good enough. Yet all you want from life is just to live. To live a basic, mediocre life. With a simple home, a simple job, a simple family. Because simple brings peace. Tranquility. Life doesn't want that for you, or so you feel. You believe life wants you to live hard. Harder than you can sometimes handle. To the point where waking up hurts. You wake up every day, the same routine. Get out of bed, make coffee, walk the dog. Simple, yet your heart aches. Why? Do you even know why? Is it because part of you is missing? Lacking? Or is it simply because simple isn't what you want. Not the simple you have. The simple you currently live is mostly working. Working at a job that you enjoy. Working at a relationship that doesn't seem to go anywhere, but at the same time does. Working with your dog so he can live a better life for the next five years of his. Working with your family so it doesn't fall apart. Working with yourself so YOU don't fall apart. It's exhausting, isn't it? Waking up each day and going to work. Always working, never seeing progress. Never seeing the true result of the work you put in each day. Waiting for it to end. Waiting for the blissful peace you ask for. The peace you wish for, ache for every day. You sit and wonder why life is so hard on you. Why life breaks you down, beats you, and throws you around each day. You never seem to know the answer. Others tell you it's easy, just keep trying. Keep waking up. Keep pushing. But there comes a time where pushing gets to be too hard. Where you feel you've been through so much that life should just give you what you want. Because you deserve it. Because you've been beaten, raped, survived multiple loses including yourself, and just torn apart consistently. People feel as though you're giving up when you say you want a simple life, but that isn't the case. It doesn't mean giving up. It doesn't mean just working for somebody and doing whatever they say forever. It could mean any job. Any lifestyle. Just simple. Peaceful. Full of happiness and love. Where you can call some building your home and actually feel it. The word home itself resonates with that house. It's truly a safe place for you. To grow, to fall apart, to grow again. To watch others grow. You've never known that feeling before. You yearn for it. Ache for it. You want to feel it. You want to feel HOME. You want to feel HAPPY. You want to feel all of these simple things, but are they really simple? Can one truly feel just happy? Can a house really just feel like home? No strings attached? No issues, no problems, no chaos. No. Life is a whirlwind of emotions and you sometimes just have to deal with it because fighting back just makes it worse. Life gave you music, though. Which you are thankful for. Without the car rides full of singing your heart out, crying to Lewis Capaldi, jamming to Megan Thee Stallion, and whoever else, you'd be lost. You sometimes think that singing could be your calling. That's your out. That's how you get out those depressive feelings. That's how you express yourself. But you'll never be good enough. That's not a simple life. You couldn't handle the confrontation, the always watching. You don't want that life. But singing comes so easily to you. It makes you feel whole. You forget about the pain and heartache you've gone through. You become one with the music. The instruments. Guitars. Trumpets. Flutes. Drums. Pianos. You fall in love with each rhythm. With each line of every song. Your heart grows when you sing. Your stomach stops aching. Your head stops spinning. But is that really want you want out of life? To sing for people? To just sing in general? It sounds boring. YOU sound boring. You're not a good singer. There's girls on YouTube and TikTok that sing so much better than you. You think you can compete with them? With their beauty? Their vocals? Their curves? NO. You can't. Because truthfully, you are nothing. You will always be nothing. And life owes you nothing.

Quarter Life Crisis
I'm not exactly sure where to start this story, nor do I think that my story is unique or outlandish in any way. Maybe it is to some, but to others it might feel normal. There is an odd comfort in the normal or relatable though, even if it's not pleasant or glamorous.

Secret Mechanism That Makes Your Life Feel Stuck
Human beings have individual personality traits. We have emotions, liking, disliking, choices, and many other psychological attributes with us. We tend to look for varieties. Because our brain is wired the way to follow changes in everything. In this hard time, when everyone is scared about the new novel CORONA Virus and started living a different life in home confinement, our approach towards life has changed drastically. For safety purposes, companies started allowing their employees to work remotely from home. People now can work from their own residence and attend conferences virtually by taking part in web video conferences. But many people are still not happy with this new work style. Because they feel isolated and bored. Before, those same people had problems with office culture, office politics and being physically presence in their workplaces. But now, when they’re out of it they still are not happy with it.

Tips to build new habits that long last
Before building for new habits, we need to be aware that habit-building is not an overnight activity. It will not give us the intended results instantly. It is a slow and gradual process and we all need to have enough patience.

Learning to Love Myself
I grew up hating myself. Learning how to love myself is hard. I'm able to list down every single thing I hate about myself and wanting to change it. Hoping that I'm a different person. It sounds sad and heart-breaking, but there's a lot of people out there who are the same. That they hate themselves. That they want to be able to change everything that they think is wrong about themselves.

Divergent Thinking And Finding Your Voice
Cop Rock was one of the biggest TV-failures ever made. Marked with a bold and irreverent spirit it was one of the rare cases that combined a musical within a TV-show, all capped under the dark ambiance of a cop drama. Little words need to go to the fact that nothing similar had ever been attempted before. And being the first one to do so, exposed it to the world, in the most negative way one can fathom. It was heavily ridiculed and mocked like no other and within a few mere episodes, it got canceled sealing its fate forever. Now it is a classic showcase of how an over-ambitious project can flip over to disaster and become one of the biggest failures in TV history.

what keeps me going
Every day I wake up and thank GOD that I made it through another night, and like most people, I get to the point where I feel like giving up. Life gets rough for everyone, and sometimes it is difficult when you have no motivation or someone to come home to that can help you relieve that stress it's hard to find motivation. When I am having a rough time, and I am at the point where I feel like I can't go on anymore, I read a book sometimes we overuse our mind, and we forget how important our intention is to us. Whenever I have too much on my mind and feel exhausted and cannot continue, I like reading children's books. I live alone, and I work in the healthcare industry, and stress and mental health are at its peak with all of us putting in overtime and working with positive Covid-19 patients; its little had not to get stress out. I love reading children's books because they take me back to when I was young and carefree. They calm me down and put my mind at ease. I love picturing myself at the moment in the book section and most of the time when I finish reading the book. I am all calmed down and ready to get back into work. While I am reading the book, and I take time to reflect on what is going on and how me doing what I am doing brings joy into someone else life. The joy I see on family welcoming their family member back walks out after beating COVID makes all of my stress go away. It gives me a sense of comfort, and I thank God every day that he chose me for this role, and I wouldn't want it any other way. The reason I wish to read children is book it's because I am visual learner, I understand better when I can see what I am reading. When I read children are books whenever I flip a book, I get more and more excited, and the more excited I get, the more relaxed I forget how stressed I am.

Gyspy Soul
If a picture is worth a thousand words... what could be said of this one? This photo was taken at a low point in my life. I had just been fired from my job and was put on anti-depressants. These were the days when laying in bed seemed to be the best option and stepping outside of my bedroom door seemed to be more of a triumph than anything else. There is something funny about anti-depressants, something that the doctors don't tell you. It's the fog; like the fog that rolls in after a morning shower. I could now wake up, eat normally, talk with people, laugh with people (which I had not done in many months,) and live my life normally. Normally. Normally. Normal with a fog. Normal but not normal. Normal to everyone else, but not to me. I felt like I had a cotton ball wedged in between my ears and thoughts and ideas were just circling around it. Nothing could penetrate through. No emotions were strong enough to make me feel... well... anything.
