Things I am enjoying lately

I’ve lived a very rigid adult life of only allowing myself things that are acceptable for me (which are things according to my family members that are poor told me are acceptable) so I’m sure you can imagine the limited and frustrating life I have created from that. So the first thing I’ve started allowing myself is:

Digital journaling. I honestly thought the idea of it was stupid plus so many of the things I saw about it always seemed like something I wouldn’t use. Recently I allowed myself to get a refurbished iPad mini 5 using affirm which sent my mom into a hissy fit (because I wasted money). I researched and found myself an off brand Apple Pencil because the idea of being able to write on my iPad just amazed me. Yet again another thing my mom did not agree with. But on the other hand it brings me joy and I think it’s the coolest thing ever.

And second: learning how self-help and manifestation can fit with Christianity. This honestly was something I just wasn’t sure about. I’ve had Christian mentors tell me that it’s demonic so I was scared to look into it but the more I read and learn about it the more I see how it aligns with biblical wisdom and I am really enjoying it.

What are your thoughts on that? Also for those of you that read my posts and comment and follow me, thank you!

... Read moreIn today's fast-paced world, finding joy in personal development can greatly enhance your well-being. Digital journaling has emerged as a popular method for self-expression, with many users embracing platforms like GoodNotes or Notability on their iPads. This allows for creativity while keeping track of daily thoughts and goals. Moreover, the intersection of self-help and Christianity has sparked significant interest among individuals seeking to harmonize their spiritual beliefs with contemporary practices. While some may view self-help as contradictory to religious teachings, many find that concepts like manifestation can enhance their understanding of faith and personal growth. This balance can promote positivity and fulfillment. If you're considering diving into digital journaling or exploring self-help techniques, remember to prioritize what resonates with you. Surround yourself with a supportive community that encourages both your spiritual journey and personal interests. Embrace the joy that comes with new experiences, and don't hesitate to share your own insights with others!

No.1 Hope - I used to be so quick to jump into the mindset that "everything is falling apart" when, in reality, one or two things weren't going my way. When upsetting things would happen, I would soon be drowning in despair and could find the good in nothing. I've learned that just
