Day 1 - Living a healthier and happier life!

 So I have decided to start focusing on my  my mind, body, and career. 

For My Mind: For over 10 years I suffer from PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), Anxiety, and Depression. I was going to therapy but I had stop due to financially and personal reasons. Well the good news is that I am back in therapy. With help from my new therapist, I am finding new ways to great through my emotional issues. 

For my Body: I been obese for a while now.  I am aware that my current weight is not good for my health especially with my asthma and allergies. So I am determined and motivated to Live a Healthier Lifestyle. This is not going to be easy for me but Today is the day. Watching how much I eat is key to being a healthier me. I am also starting to be more active in my life. I am starting off today with yoga. Right now I am using Yoga: Just My Size With Megan Garcia. I hope to join a yoga class in the near future.  Practicing yoga, walking, and engaging in new types of activities will help me reach my goal of being a healthier person. 

For my Career: I am a freelance writer and a full time blogger. I usually work from home but it is very hard for me to stay focus on my work when I worrying about what I need to do around the house or receiving calls, emails, and messages while I am working. So starting Monday, the public Library is my new best friend. 5 days week, I will have my nose in my laptop, books, and everything that will help me build my brand and my business.  So I am happy to announce that you will see more from my blogs Heavy on Fashion, Milan Malan Word on The Street, My YouTube channel and of course Just MalanB. I am finally focusing on developing my name, my brand, and my career! 

I am happy that you all will be joining me on this journey to living a healthier and happier life.

Goals, DReam, Beach, and Sand

I had such a relaxing, silly, drama full weekend. Yes, I don't know how a person can do this but I did! Man, I went to a club at the shore called Madison! Well, I think it is called Madison. Anyway, it was a nice club but the music was not on point. Some people were acting crazy. I am trying no to go into details but some ladies were acting very foolish in the club. Otherwise, I chilled and had some silly moments with my family.

Then I got to go to the shore. I miss the shore. Once you are ashore baby, you never go back. I hope that I will make it in the writing industry so I can move back to the beach with the sand in my toes and my eyes on the water.
The city life is not for me. Great to visit, even to explore for a year or two but not to live. Just me. I love the city for the beauty and creativity in it. You have to be harder to live in the city. To survive in the city. Your skin has to be thick and your dreams untouchable. I just not there yet. I wonder of I ever will! Only time will tell!

Writing for Me or You?

I never thought that being a writer would be hard. This is not implying that writing is not fun nor full of benefits. Just stating that it is hard because you have to keep the interest of your audience. The only issue I am facing now is ...who is my audience? For years, I wrote for myself. If others liked it, I was happy but my work was never geared for them. Should my work be geared towards anyone? Would I lose the honesty in my work if I did so? Would it be considered my work anymore?

So who is my audience? Is it me or world? Can it be both? The only thing that I can do is write and hope that others like it or at least respect my opinion. May be easier said that done!
