An Honest Review of Blog With a Full Time Job

December 9, 2018

A few months ago, I purchased Blog With a Full Time Job by Natalie Bacon. I had been following Natalie for a few months and was so exciting about her new course, I got it just two days after she launched it.

Time management is a struggle for me, so the title and purpose of the course was what made me interested in the course along with the course being unlike other blogging courses.

Blog With a Full Time Job changed the way I look at and approach blogging. It also helped me with having the right mindset, productivity, and time management for blogging. I’ve purchased a lot of blogging courses, and this one was like no other.

Grammarly Review

December 8, 2018

Being a blogger and having perfectionism is a nightmare. There’s no one there to tell you what to get done or tell you it’s “good enough” or when to get it done. The only deadlines are self-imposed.

Thankfully, I have Grammarly. This writing tool has helped me so much with not just blogging, but dealing with and overcoming my perfectionism.

If you go check out my about me, you probably wouldn’t believe that writing that first post took me two years to write and finish.

Today, this is the 6th article I’ve written this week. I already wrote one earlier, and I’ve written one article for the past four days. And all articles have been over 1,000 words. Old me would be shocked and proud.

Grammarly is a must-have for every blogger. It saves me so much time and energy, especially with perfectionism.

Here’s what I love about Grammarly and how it’s helped me.

What You Can Change and What You Can’t Change

November 28, 2018

You might’ve heard and might even believe the statement, “People can’t change.” There is also the long-running debate in psychology on nature vs. nurture. Are people born a certain way because of genes or do they do become that way because of environment and upbringing? Most people will say, to some degree both.

The question then becomes, regardless of whether it’s genetics or the environment, “Is change is possible?” What change is possible and what isn’t? What can we change and what can’t we change?

Plasticity is the term scientists, and psychologists use for what changes and what doesn’t. Neuroplasticity refers to the brain’s ability to change. The book The Brain That Changes Itself details many astounding cases of neuroplasticity. So while genetics and biology can play a role in a person’s psychology, it doesn’t mean that change is impossible.

Co-founder of positive psychology Martin Seligman, in his book What You Can Change and What You Can’t, claims that there are things we can change and things we can’t change.

22 Reasons Why Change is Hard

November 25, 2018

Most of us have something in our lives or about ourselves that we’d like to change, even if it’s just something small. If not, we should.

But we’ve all heard and seen it before and have probably experienced it firsthand. Change is hard. People hate change. People are resistant toward change. I learned this after running a survey in which 390 people answered a question about change: what they would like to change in their lives and where would they start?

The thing is that’s not true for all change. Many of us will willingly and often joyfully embrace change like getting a new phone, moving to a new house, getting married, and having kids. Why is that? Why are some changes welcomed with open arms and “easier” for us than other changes?

It’s because it’s the changes in our behavior that are hard.

In this article, I list 16 reasons why change is hard. First, let’s look into the five stages of change.
