About

Hello, welcome to Pursuit of Daisies. I'm a young woman in my late 20s. Over the past few years, I've struggled with my emotions and increased my self awareness. I think my emotional health will be something I work on my whole life.

Pursuit of Daisies represents, for me, my constant desire to make change for the better, enjoying who I am now, and looking hopefully to a future that shows I've grown. I'm in pursuit of growth, development, and my favorite flower, the ever resilient daisy. 


On this journey, I've collected ideas from multiple resources in an effort to either make myself feel better when I was feeling not so good emotionally or just wanting to improve in some way. I've learned from Pinterest, Ted Talks, therapists, published psychologists, reddit, friends, and many more. 

With Pursuit of Daisies, I aspire to reveal my lifestyle and mindsets based on the following 3 values.

1. We need to love and take care of ourselves first.
2. We need to take care of each other.
3. We need to take care of our home, the earth.

On this blog you'll find tags like #zerowaste, #positivity, and #mindset. My goal is to write one blog post a week.

A Library of Feelings

Image
Think of the last intense feeling you experienced. Did it feel good or not? Now imagine that feeling as a tangible thing you can hold. Your feeling does not define you. Instead, it is something you are holding onto. Think about the difference between something you hold and something inside you. Your lunch is inside you. It is there no matter the consequences of the extra greasy burger. But if you are holding a greasy burger, you have more options. You can make a decision.  Recognizing a feeling is something you hold, imagine it as a book, leaflet, or page. Something you'd read, process, and move on from. Feelings of all sorts are meant to express a message. They tell you something to help you navigate through your world. But it can be hard to understand what a feeling is trying to say.  Think about what you do with written materials in your life. You glance at a receipt and throw it in the trash. You read a letter and save it. You appreciate a greeting card, maybe keep it for ...

Done List - Check it off!

Image
The To Do List If you're like me, to do lists pop up everywhere. I have a running list for work, for family, and for my home. And yet, nothing seems to get done. I use lists as a tool to keep things out of my mind. Instead of holding everything in my head, paper serves as a reminder, a safe space. For areas like work, where I'm directly held accountable if the list wasn't complete, that works great. The list reminds me of what I need to do, and can be organized based on priority. I use Google Keep because it can sync between my home computer, work computer, and even cell phone.  Zero Accountability  However, in areas like my home, where the dishes can always wait, I struggle to check off anything. I walk about the house and notice everything that needs done - dishes, laundry, clean the bathrooms, etc. All that I notice gets jotted down into my notebook that I use for everything. I'll see it all the time. For me, the problem with housework is that there isn't as muc...

New Years Goals: 7 Steps to Better Resolutions

Image
Happy New Year! At the end of an era, when the confetti rains on a new decade, I'd like to welcome you to your own aspirations. I'm a huge fan of goals. I use them in my profession every day to show growth and monitor progress. However, at the risk of sounding cheesy, it's not often the result I focus on for long, it's the journey. Sure, there is a stamp on the final paperwork when the year's end comes around as to whether or not the goal was achieved. I can't do much about that simple "Met" or "Not yet mastered" printed on the page. Maybe you're thinking about your resolutions from last year and thinking "Failed." Yet, as long as there is room for improvement, failure simply doesn't apply. You can't fail a task while you're still working on it. Forward progress, no matter how small, is still progress. Better yet, so what if you've failed. Will that failure cease all further goals? Failure is a part of ...
