For some reason, without fail, during the summer months are always the most unmotivated and unproductive days of the year for me. This year started out really strong in terms of creative endeavors, I was writing, drawing, and doing something creative on a daily basis up until May when the weather started getting progressively hotter and hotter. To be fair, I also have a huge vegetable garden and…
I've previously mentioned a little challenge I set up for myself for the month of March, a challenge where I try to write every day for the month of March and now it's March 31st. By my standards, I was 1000% successful, even though I didn't write anything 3 days out of the 31 days in March. My main focus was creative writing with some blog posts sprinkled in once a week. I wanted to get back into…
For as long as I can remember, the ultimate goal was weight loss. In retrospect, as a teenager and young adult, I was at a normal weight (incredibly unhealthy, though, with all the junk I ate) but as time continued, I slowly starting gaining more and more weight. It didn't happen overnight, it barely happened over the course of a year. It was over years and years (dare I say two decades) of…
The weather has started to warm up a bit here and we've been working hard on getting our garden ready for the season. We have a bit of a little cold front swooping in next week but that's fine with me. I actually enjoy the fluctuating temperatures since I dread the super hot and humid summers of the south, so it's nice to have a mix of warm and chilly days that we do in the Spring. I'm just happy…
Ever since joining the workforce back in 2018, post college graduation, I've struggled with living and enjoying life with a 9-5 job. Pre-pandemic was a nightmare, my entire week was spent commuting to work, being forced and stuck in an office (taking meetings at my desk in WebEx), and commuting home, then being too exhausted to do anything else besides feed myself junk and get ready for bed to do…
Spring is just around the corner and it's finally the first of March. It's still pretty chilly outside; I've been misled by looking out window and preparing for a walk in warm sunshine only to be frozen by the wind chill. But with the turn of the month and slow turn of the season, brings out new goals to set and hopefully accomplish a few! So far this year in 2024, I have 3 categories for my…
I'm someone who puts a lot of effort and value into maintaining a routine but lately, my routines haven't completely fallen off but they've definitely haven't been going so smoothly as usual. February isn't the greatest time of year for me, it's around the time where winter gets a bit harsher and feels like it's overstayed it's welcome. Don't get me wrong, I love winter and I love a good cozy…
It's been a little over a month since I've last posted on my bearblog. I started off the year pretty sick, much like everyone else apparently did. It took me some time to recover and then work was incredibly stressful for the entire month of January (and still is stressful) due to tight deadlines creeping up. So, it's been a pretty rough start, not to mention the winter blues are finally starting…
It's been awhile since I've last posted a Bear blog, once I wrapped up my little 75 Day Creativity Challenge , I took a long break from writing blogs over the last 3-ish months. I've found myself gravitating more back to physical journaling and writing on pen and paper but I do occasionally want to come back to my Bear Blog with some insights. I really do enjoy the last couple days of the year,…
Today is the 75th day of the 75 Day Creativity Challenge I've started back in the beginning of August. It's been an interesting and definitely the opposite of perfect journey. There were many days that I didn't complete every task on my list but overall, I think I did pretty well. I am not definitely doing more creativity now than I had done before and I've realized how the days when I'm able to…
