8 Powerful Tips You Can Use When You Start Self-Hosting Your Blog
I know that self-hosting is a lot different and a more complex process. There were a handful of things I learned from my experience. Aside from that, to me, it felt like blogging became an opening to a bigger set of opportunities and growth. I think one of the things you’re gonna have to deal with is that when you are in the process of self-managing your blog, you can’t just ignore the things that other bloggers talk about and give importance to. Once you decide to be in the blogging journey, it’s no doubt that you have to step up your plans for your blog too. Why? Because you…
The Basics of Understanding Self-Hosting
It’s October and I kind of wanted to share my blogging experiences this month. A highlight of which is my self-hosting process. Since I have gone self-hosted, I feel like I have learned so much about blogging that I didn’t even understand before. I’ve been hearing a lot of questions asked about having a self-hosted blog. Questions like, “what’s it really like when you have a self-hosted blog?” or like, “what do I get from having a self-hosted blog?” or simpler questions like, “What is self-hosting?” The truth is, I was as clueless as they were before I got into this path. I didn’t know what it meant to have…
How To Mindfully Deal With Setbacks In Your Life
I have recently been asked how I deal with my setbacks in life, and I thought, before, those pretty much made a mess out of me. I was the kind who easily gets discouraged and demotivated. And so, experiencing setbacks, whether in my studies or passions, was a huge challenge for me to overcome. As an undergraduate student and a blogger, most of my problems were either related to academic situations or blogging. Getting delayed, failing an exam, etc. Having experienced those misfortunes, I always blamed myself for not doing better beforehand. I indulge in thoughts about “what could have happened” or “what ifs” and it didn’t help me cope…
5 Things I Have Learnt From Blogging
Hello, babes! I’ve been looking forward to making a post about why blogging is really helpful for me. Many people don’t take me seriously when I share with them that I have my own website and that I write about things that some people look forward to read. And so, I wanted to say what I felt about it. I’ve learned so much in writing. This is where I get to be who I am and be around those people who share the same sentiments with me. I learned from you guys too. So, I thought, why not make a post about the things that I’ve learned throughout the months…

7 Misconceptions About Happiness
Hi guys! Welcome back to my baby blog! It has been sooo many weeks and the clingy inner child in me misses the WordPress community. I’m glad I can finally get back to writing. 🙂 Anyway, this week we’re going to talk about happiness. A word that everyone seems to be talking about these days including me. Undeniably, this word has covered a lot of meaning throughout time. Since the ancient Greeks, happiness is attempted to be described, taping it with the word eudaimonia which means “to live well”, as if it was a beauty one can dare to attain. In an article I’ve read, modern science looks at happiness…

Why Letting Go of Toxic People Isn’t The Best Way To Live a Happy Life
Hey there! This is another unpopular opinion that might strike up some arguments here and there but I just want to say, hear me out. I have been hearing and seeing a lot of things around the topic of self-care, finding happiness, or ways to live a happy life. There are just so many ways you can improve your own, without having to make an effort too much, and it has become as easy as ignoring those people who can’t benefit you or your happiness. Why is that? Maybe we’re just too afraid to get in touch with that negative energy that surrounds those difficult people that we decide not…
5 Steps to Understand Acceptance
Hello, there. I hope you are doing fine. 🙂 There are three possible things you can do when you encounter a situation. You can either change it, leave it, or accept it. This Monday, let’s talk about one principle of mindfulness: acceptance. Acceptance is such a BIG word, you might say. Sometimes, people commonly find acceptance as a hard thing to do. It’s the mindfulness principle we all seem to struggle with because it is quite hard to practice. If you’ve read my second mindful practice journal entry, you will know that I struggle with acceptance too. We keep thinking that when we accept something, we must take it all…

Self Check-In: How Are You?
As an entry of participation in Megan’s Simple Gratitude Exercise, which I loved reading, by the way, I decided to do a blog about it. Hi guys, how are you? I have always been the type to intentionally ask people how they are, simply because I genuinely want to know how they are. But, indeed, I do agree that this question is oftentimes asked in an automatic manner– a simple greeting– rather than an actual question. If we are unintentionally saying this to others, it means that we also forget its meaning to us, and that is, to check-in and see how we’re doing right now. Megan of Cathedral Grove’s…
