A Thousand Words Volume 8: Welcome to The Blooming Babe

No one really teaches us how to be happy or how to live a healthy life. This fact of life becomes clearly evident in our mid-twenties upon graduating from college. I went through my quarter-life crisis about a year after college. I was at my lowest. I felt fat, hated my job, was fighting with my boyfriend, and lost contact with my friends.

When the summer of 2018 began, I started my blog and began reflecting on my life in college. I thought about my time as an RA in which I learned about the Five Wellbeings and how they lead to a happier life. I took that idea to heart, expanded it to include two more wellbeings, and did a little remixing. These became mu guides to holistic health and wellness.

Before I continue, let me explain what the Seven Wellbeings are and what they mean:

The first is the Career Wellbeing. This focuses on landing your dream job, advancing your career, and living your passions. I pair this with the Education Wellbeing.

The Education Wellbeing focuses on learning new skills, how to get in and navigate college, and becoming a life long learner.

Next is the Mental Wellbeing. This focuses on mental health, self-care, journaling, and therapy. This wellbeing gets paired with the Physical Wellbeing.

The Physical Wellbeing focuses on learning how to work out, eat healthy, and take care of your skin.

The next pair is based on interpersonal relationships.

Social Wellbeing focuses on creating and maintaining healthy relationships with your friends and family.

Relationship Wellbeing focuses on creating and maintaining a healthy relationship with your significant other

The last wellbeing is the hardest for young adults. The Financial Wellbeing focuses on learning how to become financially literate.

So what happened? Well, fast forward to a year later. I feel physically healthier. I got a new job. Bae and I are making plans to take some big steps together and my friends and I are tackling my Summer Bucketlist. All of this good growth and blooming began on that wonderful day I decided to practice holistic wellness.

I learned so many lessons, stumbled and gotten back up, and now I want to share my stories with you! You don’t have to be like Briana circa 2018. You too can be living your best life because you deserve it.
