I wasn’t the first to admit it, though, because my pride always got the best of me. I was the kind of person who didn’t say “sorry” and I kept dwelling on the past. I was also never the person that asked for help because I had the mindset that I can handle problems on my own. I was the silent and suffering soul that buried my feelings inside for me to deal with, and me to deal with alone. But guess what – I was wrong! No matter how much we think we have our life together, it is OK to ask for help especially when we need it the most.

It wasn’t until my second child was born that I started to realize that this way of thinking was hindering my ability to have a better life. My stubbornness and pride were really getting the best of me and I knew I had to change. I realized that my children would look up to me for guidance and inspiration. I am their role model – whether I was prepared for it or not. The things that I do or say, the people I trust, what I value most, and my actions and reactions to situations would be a major influence on the people they become.

After I started my Master’s program in Psychology, I opened my eyes in a way I never thought possible. I started to think outside the box. I began to understand that there are not only two sides to a story, but sometimes multiple sides to a story. And as my feelings of empathy grew stronger, my steel wall slowly began to come down. I started to see the world –and my life – in a completely different perspective.

Becoming the change wasn’t easy. It took some time to get there, but one day I was finally able to say, “It’s over!” It’s over to the negative mindset, the bullshit, and the gnawing feeling I got every time I second guessed myself. I finished school and I started to help others who were looking to improve their life.

I decided to start this blog because I thought about all the people I’ve helped throughout the years. I also thought about the relationships and experiences I’ve had – good and bad – and what mistakes and lessons I’ve learned. I wanted to implement my knowledge and experience, both professionally and personally, so that I can help people going through a challenging time take the next steps in a more positive direction.

This blog is about putting things into perspective and, often times, helping you realize what you might have already known all along. It’s to encourage you to re-evaluate certain areas of your life that you want to improve and to set goals to help you get there. If you’re thinking, “It’s too late,” then you need to get out of that mindset and start thinking, “It’s about time.” This is your moment to take control of your life and create a fresh chapter. You can’t control the past; you can’t even control the future. What you can control is this moment right now.
