Being at Home

 Yes, you can try new things, so why not.      A lot of us are very hesitant to try new things. It takes a lot of effort to go on the first step. We mostly just pretend to be planning and researching certain things before trying.     We can try it without planning yet. Some things are just so fun that if it catches our attention, we will try them in the blink of an eye.      Maybe just going for it at the moment is a good idea. Just like tasting a certain food before ordering a full meal. That is the fun in it. It is trying a little and seeing what it can give you. Maybe it will open your eyes to new things or just not. You'll never know for sure.     But I agree, there are things that just really need planning and research. Too much at stake when you try it even for a little. I understand that especially if we are talking about Investments. It is risky.      But I am just talking about Hobbies that anyone can just tr...

This is really the Season to be Jolly.  But, what if you feel tired the whole season? There are reasons why people feel tired during this kind of season.  Here are some reasons why... 1. It is the time to be everybody to everybody. Why is this so? Well, this is the only time we have to be there for every loved one we have. This is a vacation where we are obliged to go to malls, shop till our wallet drops, and go to places we only go on special occasions like this ( once a year ). 2. Reunions, Special Gatherings, Night-outs and Parties. Well, this is the usual trend for all ages during this season. 3. Buy clothes and jewelry to flaunt at gatherings. This is also a tiring thing to do, especially for those celebrating Year-end and Office Parties. 4. Make sure that the family has food on the table.  This is true, especially on the Eve of Christmas and New Year. The presence of food and eat-outs are important since all are in the home in this season of celebration. 5. Presen...

Are you wandering if you can still enjoy journaling at this age? Yes, why not.  I have been journaling On and Off in years. That could only mean that I started journaling many times in my 52 years of existeence. I enjoyed it as I  explored many types of notebooks and journals. I guess, what I mean about On and Off with journaling is just being " Inconsistent ". Fear not of forgetting to write: It is not a big thing if you forget to wrute or journal. It is OK. No harm done. Even if your journal pages may have dates or numbers from 1 to 365. Writing things down or journaling can sometimes require a habit formation.  Just like me, I love writing but if times just get so busy, I seem to overlook that moment. I even skip days before I could touch my journal again.  Busy at work or in household chores, well, time to sit and write seem impossible to most of us  Journaling has its purpose: Knowing what it can do for you, I don't think you will ignore it. I saw how it he...

Journaling. It can be yours too. My journal has been my greatest companion in life since I knew how to write. I love the idea of writing on a paper with my favorite pen. I love the part where I start to decorate my log with flowers and borders.  It is not like it would replace a companion like a friend or loved one, it is like on a Personal Level for me.  Sometimes my logs are about the things I do not want others to know. I just have to get it off my chest. " Secrets " is what others would call it.  Most of us journal when depressed. When hard things happen and other things just go wrong, a Diary is a journal to run to. Feeling sad and lonely. A Diary is really very famous. I had that experience too but mostly I like to write something that will motivate me when I read it.  I also like to journal lessons I have learned in a day or two.  A log of powered words to keep me going. Planning daily things to do and reminders. This type of journal helps me organize my ...

 Being self-aware of who we really are is one of the hardest things for most of us, but if it means the beginning of something bigger in life, why not... No Time to spend on it:      This is a big thing to do that a lot of us just do not have the time to spend in a day, not even a single hour to start with. Why?     There are many valid and invalid reasons one can think about to justify it. One big reason that will come to mind is WORK.     Work can be a valid reason if we think it is so because everybody needs to go out of the house to work. Now, come to think of it, Work time has its own time frame. Mostly it is from 8:00 am. to 5:00 pm. Travel time and some extra errands make it like 2 hours before and after that. So, give and take, 6:oo am to 7:00 pm. Now, that is a time frame most of us just experience with a regular shift job.     Night shift by the way has a different angle. Experiencing a 9:00 pm to 6:00 am graveyard shift with a...

I know that being at home can be quite a challenge for most of us. A lot of us just do not know how to begin making it worthwhile. Begin with these 10 things list of the things you can do when you are at home. Household Chores : Regular routine in cleaning the house, doing the laundry, cooking the meals, throwing the garbage.  Gardening: This can be a good hobby too. If you have a space available for the plants to grow, well that is a good sign. You can use flower pots or plant them directly in the ground. You can choose between bushes, flowers, vegetables, and other ornamental plants. Pleasure Ideas: This would mean watching TV, playing online, reading books and magazines, listening to music, going into your cellphones... Art and Craft Hobby: Building a Hobby in Art is quite productive in a way. Learning how to draw, paint, do craft ideas like crocheting, candle making, recycling for projects, junk journaling, sewing for crafty ideas,... These are also quite similar to pleasurab...

     It  can be challenging for most of us, even for those who are already home-based.     Why do I say so?     Some Inevitable Reasons:      Many of us just could not stand staying at home. We all find means to really go out.       For most of us, it could be a reason for work. I know it is a legitimate reason. Most of us are working hard for our family, which is the reason behind work.          Even the "work "thing, others also find this as a reason to go out and explore their freedom from home and family.     Another reason is to go to our daily routine like buying food at the market or groceries at the malls. Maybe buy things that are needed at home too.     Others just go out with friends for small talk or socialization. Special events or just going to the park.     But, of course, here comes the children too. They go out to go to school.     ...
