Simply Happy with SimplyOli

This incredible quote by Henry Ford couldn’t be more on the money - “Whether you think you can or you can’t, you’re right.” The mind is an incredibly powerful thing and if you took the time to appreciate it, and really be intentional about tapping into it you could change your entire reality. You have that power within you, and I’m here to help you see it.

I’ve definitely had this conversation with more than one person about how to make friends - especially if your shy, maybe dealing with anxiety or depression, and are still figuring out how to get out there to create friendships. Because let’s be honest, it’s a really vulnerable thing to do! So I’m sharing with you some insight on how you can pursue or be open to new friendships along with nurturing them as they grow.

Gratitude, I’ve said it once and I’ll say it a bajillion more times - It’s the shortcut to happiness! I know it sounds cheesy but it’s true. It was a massive player in shifting to a more positive perspective with my life. But truly, I want this to be realistic. Finding gratitude during times when things aren’t going great doesn’t look like what you might think. So let’s make gratitude work for you!

Whether you deal with a mental illness or not, stress and overwhelm creeps into almost everyone’s life. It might feel like all of the time or that it comes in waves. But there are ways to ease it, there are ways to feel relief and less overwhelmed. All things that are in your control! So it’s time to step up, dive in, and make a plan to live a happier, healthier life.

I get asked this all of the time, how do I get motivated when I’m dealing with bipolar, anxiety, and/or depression? I already feel weak, exhausted, overwhelmed, etc. Heck, maybe you even tried getting motivated in the past and it just didn’t hold. It’s time to dive in and break down motivation into steps that you can actually put to work.

Helpless, victim, not in control - these are definitely words that you’d rather not be associated with but may be how you’re feeling right now. So I’m stepping up and calling these out! There are 3 pretty subtle things that can keep you feeling helpless. Once you’re aware of them and you decide you’re ready to take back control in those areas it will be absolutely life changing.

If you’re taking the solo route to conquering bipolar, anxiety, and/or depression the whole way through or at least for now, I wanted to give you some pointers on where to start with this journey. Because I get how overwhelming it can feel trying to figure out what steps to take towards self love, happiness, freedom, and control. Not to mention there aren’t a ton of resources when it comes to actually overcoming mental illness.

When it comes to bipolar, anxiety, depression, or even any other sort of mental illness - you can get swept up in how hard or complicated it all feels. This is why so many people (myself back in the day included) get tripped up by the idea of overcoming or even living a life free from it all. But I’m here to tell you that it doesn’t have to be so intimidating, it doesn’t have to feel so hard.

Have you ever felt stuck or held back because of something that happened in the past? We have to stop spending our energy focusing on what we could have done differently or fearing the future because the past may repeat itself. It’s about learning to live in the moment and being able to learn from the past so you can more confidently move forward.

Our minds are a powerful thing, and that power is something that we can utilize in order to live a happier more empowered life! I’ve spoken with too many women that have dealt with anxiety for far too long. That’s why we’re going to help you use the power of your mind to help ease those anxiety symptoms.

Some people don’t believe it, some people are shocked, and some people are over the moon thrilled that I did the seemingly impossible - conquered mental illness. And not only that, but I help more women do just the same! So that’s why it’s time I sit down and walk you through what it took to go from managing it to actually beating it.

Dealing with mental illness can already feel lonely, and when you add on people in your life that don’t understand bipolar, anxiety, or depression it can feel even lonelier. But there is a way for you to shift out of that frustration, defeat, and loneliness so that you can start getting constructive with change and even get more support along the way.

You are 110% human, and that means that you really need to be making your mental and physical health a priority if you want to feel great and live a life you love. But where do you start besides just saying YUP that's a thing I need to do. As always, we start small with a few mental shifts to start creating change in our lives.

When you're dealing with bipolar, anxiety, and depression they like to skip along hand in hand with negative self talk and low self esteem. So it's time for you to break up this little mental illness romance and improve the way you speak about and see yourself.

Who is the number one person you're with the most? Yup, it's you! You are the person you see the most day in and day out, and that's why it's so important that you love your body not just on the inside but on the outside as well. Because how you see yourself majorly effects your self love, confidence, self esteem, and more.
