I even know why I feel like I can’t breathe. I’m overwhelmed with everything I have going on in my life. I know I get overwhelmed a lot faster and easier than most. It’s because I lack some basic but necessary coping skills. I’m a lot better than I used to be, but I’m still not where I wish I…
Can you relate? Seriously, sometimes I just wanna stay in bed and do nothing. I have these days where I wake up, and I just don’t want to life. I don’t want to clean the house, I don’t want to run errands, and I don’t want to think. I just want to BE. And honestly, is that really too much…

Negative People Suck Why do negative people suck? I’m glad you asked. Because I’m going to tell you why. And I’m going to do it in my classic Jess style – honestly, and in my own words. First, there’s the obvious. I mean, duh. Negativity in general sucks, so of course negative people suck. That part is pretty self explanatory.…
Own your shit, change your life Stop being afraid to own your shit. Stop making excuses for your choices, actions and behaviors. Do you want your life to change? Do you want to be able to move forward, and find contentment? If your answer is yes, then the very first step is to own your shit. Owning your shit means…
Always be honest with yourself. It is so important to always be honest with yourself. Why? Well think about this: if you can’t be honest with yourself, you’ll never find contentedness. You can’t be your true self if you aren’t honest with yourself. That’s not the only reason. Have you ever heard the phrase, “If you can’t be…
Today, I had an epiphany – Stop taking life so seriously. I’ve had this sudden realization, one that randomly decided to smack me in the face today – I need to stop taking life so seriously. Don’t ask me why today, or why so suddenly – because I have no idea. This is just how my brain works. Ok, so…
