What are some life hacks that you practice?

I do not know if this is a hack per se but when something out of my control happens, I try not to take it too personally. By that I mean that I do not automatically go on the defensive and assume I am being punished for something or even cursed.

I know several people who are like this in their daily lives and it really is no wonder they can barely handle any adversity.

Stuff happens. Particularly stuff we did not necessarily want to happen. Blowing up or shutting down at the smallest inconvenience is making you less and less prepared for when something major actually happens.

It helps get through things when you have a sort of going with the flow mentality. You deal with things as they come but do not harp or focus too highly on it. If it is something you brought upon yourself, learn from it and do better next time. Until you are dead and buried, there is always a next time.

I say this after having a massive dip in my mood after my earbuds refused to connect to my phone….Absolutely ridiculous and I felt like a complete child afterwards lol.

I just keep learning to relax, that is all I can do at times lol. Just breathe.

● About Me

Hello! I am Ashley and I simply love to read, and hope you do to!
I am currently 29 years old and living in the state of Texas, USA.

My favorite genres to read and review include romance, fantasy, mystery, and many subgenres of those as long as it is clean. I mainly get my books from my Kindle Unlimited membership, but I also found myself checking out library books on Libby as well.

As you can see, I do not solely post book reviews, I also love posting daily prompt writing, as well as stuff that is going on in my life currently. That being said, my passion is reading and reviewing books to my heart’s content, so hopefully that is something you are also interested in.

I do have a Goodreads where you can follow if you desire (no pressure!) I also have a StoryGraph, of which you can follow me here.
