Finding Fun Ways to Exercise
Exercising bores me. It’s not that I hate it. I just can’t ever find the motivation to, you know, do it. I want to be healthy, but I also don’t want to interrupt my life just to run on a treadmill. Anyone else like that? Don’t worry, this is a No Judgement website. 😉 You can admit it. Of course, not exercising is a guarantee for an unhappy, unhealthy life. So how do people who hate exercising find the energy and motivation to work out? Here’s my tips:

The Happiness Crusaders
WHO’S HAPPY?? Ha. Hahaha. I know, I know. Life is hard, the world kind of sucks, and we’re writers. Sooo…. yeah. I’m very, very fortunate. My life is pretty awesome, aside from putting my dog down last month. (Sorry for the blog post delays, btw.

I’m Taking a Sabbatical from Social Media
Hi, folks! Has anyone else noticed the negative trend on social media? Anyone? … Everyone? Me too. It started weighing on me during the pre-election season in 2016, and has only gotten worse. I tried so hard to tailor my Twitter feed simply to writers who talk about writing. They makes me happy. But no matter how often I weeded through my feed, it didn’t last. People have opinions, especially on Twitter. And that’s awesome. Freedom of speech should never be taken for granted. But sometimes you need to take a step back for your own mental health.
