Do a writing challenge with me: 30 DAY writing goal

Are you a writer and experiencing writers block? I can relate on a real level. I just recently overcame my writers block by doing a 30 day challenge. I am hoping it will help you as well! So kick your writers block to the curb and join me!

Sometimes we all need a nice little refresher on things, especially if your hobby/job is a creative aspect. I did this for the month of October- I can’t wait to see your answers for this!

Day one:

List 10 things that make you really happy:

• My 5 fur babies
• My future
• Nature
• The possibilities that I can make it without a normal job. That I could be truly happy working what I want to work. I want to write, edit photos/photography, and travel.
• Mountains. I LOVE taking it all in and looking over into the valleys, seeing nothing but beautiful skies.
• Sunsets.
• Helping when I can.
• Organize and Cleaning
• Coffee- thank the lord for coffee
• God- this should be at the top and not the bottom of my list, but I am still learning and leaning into him. I am getting there.

Day two:

Write something someone told you about yourself that you never forgot:

I used to work with this gentleman named Dudley. I was struggling with some life/ job decisions at that time and the one thing that he said to me was “You are going to accomplish so much and go so far. You are a like a firecracker- when you have an idea- you go for it.” That has forever stuck in my head because to me that means the world. He believed in me so much and it really put into my mind that YES you can accomplish everything you want to do.

Day three:

What are your top three pet peeves?

1. Someone putting something other than a drink in the cup holders.
2. Someone being constantly negative and rude.
3. Someone knows they made a mess or certain things need to be done and they leave it for someone else to do it for them.

Day four:

Write about someone who inspires you:

There are a few for different reasons.

1. Demi Lovato: she has always been my truest inspiration for so many things. I began singing and she was one that I looked up to the most. Her range, her vocal ability. As she aged, she had some traumatic things happen in her life which made me love her even more. She overcame so much and never let anyone tear her down. She gets back up and fights. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. She is body positive and huge role model to millions of girls everywhere and I think that is awesome. She is real, down to earth, and loveable.
2. Me: I know that may seem silly, but I have come so far in my own mind and life. I thought I would be a lean mean working machine like my mother, BUT I am not. I still work. But I still make time for the important things. I don’t let money control me. I am tackling my dreams day by day. Every day I inch closer to where and who I want to be.
3. A girl I recently became close to: Her name is Scout and boy she’s got it all together. Or at least she let’s you know she doesn’t, but she holds her head up high and gets through anything. She has been through so much. She started me on my oils journey, and I couldn’t be more appreciative of her. I aspire to be as strong as she is. We have a lot of the same motives and goals. We both love animals and care for our fur babies as if they were our children. We get along and she is such a lovable person. A true friend and an excellent mentor. If you read this Scout, thank you for everything. Truly.

Day Five:

List Five Places You Want To Visit:

1. Europe
2. Italy
3. Canada
4. California
5. Greece

Day Six:

Five ways to win your heart:

1. Romance
2. Being cheesy instead of constantly serious
3. Bring me a coffee. Forget about everything else, flowers, chocolates, etc. Just bring me a coffee.
4. Listen and help me.
5. Support me. THIS IS SO IMPORTANT TO ME.

Day Seven:

List 10 songs you love right now:

1. Wow. Post Malone
2. Candy. MGK
3. Truth Hurts. Lizzo
4. I think I’m OKAY. MGK
5. Now or Later. Sage the Gemini
6. Speechless. Dan + Shay

I don’t have 10 songs. I am a repeater until I get annoyed with the song.

Day Eight:

Share something you struggle with:

Life. I am so undecisive. I can never fully make up my mind. I struggle with it so much. It makes things extremely difficult. I don’t know whether I want to move to FL or live in GA anymore. I don’t know what job I want forever. I don’t know whether or not I want to go back to college or not. I don’t know if I am doing everything right. That is my struggle. Life and everything that comes with it.

Day Nine:

Post some words of wisdom that speak to you:

Honestly, I am super bad at reading something and remembering it but the only quote I can think of is:

“Into the mountains I go, to find my heart and lose my soul.” I adore that so much. It really puts you in the mood when you are out and about in nature. It gives you the perspective of why it’s there. Find yourself. Get back to reality.

Day Ten:

Write about something in which you feel strongly over:

Animals. Oh my gosh I can’t say this enough. I am 110% an animal lover and I stand by them as if they were children. Humans are so selfish and in their own worlds while millions of animals everywhere are dying and suffering. We are so caught up in our wants that we tend to push away the thoughts about animals. I have a huge disbelief that we still animal test and euthanize because we are overpopulated. I am sorry, but who “decided” that, that was the case? What human thinks they have the right to decide another being’s life? They don’t. It’s because we are selfish and think we control the world.

Day Eleven:

Something you always think “what if” about?

Hiking. Man those thoughts that run through my head while we are out or on our way to a hike- it’s always the “what if” phrase. What if we slip and fall and die? What if we run into a bear? What if we get lost? I love hiking but I am all about those “what if’s”.

Day Twelve:

Write about 5 blessings in your life

1. Josten. The incredible human who walked into my life when I least expected it. Who saved me from a lot of pain and hurt. Who has been nothing but almost perfect the entire time? He has come so far and I am so grateful to have him in my life.
2. Papa John’s. As much trouble as this place was (hopefully won’t be again), it has given me so much. It gave me a car, freedom, financial stability, a new laptop, t.v., so many things I am grateful for.
3. Writing. The ability to get my feelings/ideas out on the computer or on paper has helped me through so much. I am stronger, more alive, and free of a lot of anger thanks to writing.
4. My animals. They have been my back bone and biggest supporters, mainly because they can’t talk but you get the idea.
5. I actually can’t think of five so for now four will have to do.

Day thirteen:

What are you excited about?

I’m always a little cautious, but super excited for the future. That is probably what excites me the most. Thinking about the possible future and unknown.

Star Wars, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Twilight

Day fifteen:

Bullet- point your whole day:

I will do a typical work day-

• 6 a.m. wake up

• 7:20  I head to work and grab some dunkin on the way.
• 8 I start my work day- for now
• 5 I get off and head home.
• After I tend to sit down and write a little, shower, relax, let the dogs out, feed the cats, yoga.
• I typically go to sleep around 9:30- 10

Day sixteen:

Something that you miss.

My creative aspect. I use to be way more creative: arts and crafts, scrapbooking, writing, I would write songs, etc. Now, I just seem bland. Hence why I am trying to get back into writing. Therefore my blog matters to me so much. It is my creative outlet right now. I don’t have to hold anything back.

Day seventeen:

Post about your zodiac sign, whether it fit you.

I am a Sagittarius, which is a fire sign. I tend to get along well with everyone. I also can’t seem to keep my mind on one thing. I tend to be spontaneous and super outgoing.

Day nineteen:

Discuss your first love:

Let’s see, my real first love? Or the one I liked in middle school? My first love that I actually consider my first love was very…outspoken, kind, but we were both young and stupid. It was more of a toxic relationship verses anything else. We were two young kids with big goals that we were never gonna achieve together. It took some traumatic things to happen to realize that. It was heart wrenching, but worth it because now we are both grown up and on the right path- just separate ways. I wish nothing but the best for him.

When tragedy strikes you learn to let it all go. Don’t hold yourself accountable for things you can’t control. I’ve been through some traumatic things like I am sure everyone has in some way, shape, or form, but you can’t blame yourself. You need to lean to someone you love, or I personally lean-to God.

Day twenty five:

Think of any word. Search on google image. Write something about the 11^th image.

My word: Adventure.

As I stand at the top of this mountain, I feel utterly free. My bike in hand- just dreaming of the next step. What exactly comes next….?

Motivation. My lack of motivation. I feel it being sucked right out of me because I work so much and come home and fall into a routine of just laying on bed.

Day twenty Seven:

Conversely, right about something that is kicking ass right now.

My love life. Yes that is kicking ass, thank you Jesus. We struggled for a while now but I feel like we are on the right page and I am incredibly thankful for it.

Post five things that make you laugh out loud.

1. Sebastian- he’s a goofball
2. Youtube- I always watch youtube videos especially when I lack some motivation and the people I watch, make me laugh
