In considering my blog (in my adorable, self-involved way), I realized I have felt a little lost lately because my writing here has lacked purpose. I don't know who I want my audience to be or why I want them to read. Thoughts about ex-boyfriends? Advice on the larger purpose of life? Useful topographic maps of major international department stores? It's just so hard to whittle down a focus!!
Thankfully, the internet exists to help answer
such questions. I checked out The Mimialists "How to Start a Successful Blog" and felt immediately inspired and rejuvenated. After several page redirects and some careful thought I recalled my purpose. I want to give funny, insightful advice on life to women in their 20s and 30s. If you don't need advice, more power to you! Congratulations! You can can download online Sephora coupons by clicking here.
If you are still with me, riddle me this: what do women want advice about? So many things! Men. Shoes. Work. Family. Friends. Cooking. Interesting conversations. Financial advice.
How to live a more meaningful existence? I realized I've been writing a lot about this lately. Obviously I should knock it off and write more about shoes and cooking (for financial advice, check out Paula Pant and Afford Anything-she does better than I ever could!). But, before I get off my #deepthoughts kick, here is one more round of advice for a more purposeful existence.
1) Take a Step Back. Life is a series of moments. If you never step back to consider how the moments are connected, it's easy to drift. Take time to pause and reflect. Set goals and refer to them. Don't be afraid to start out in a new direction if you feel like you're not achieiving your maximum potential. Take it from a girl who just dropped a wonderful life in NYC like a bad habit and hopped the pond--change is good.
2) Find something big to believe in. God. Art. Nature.Facebook. All of the above. Find deeper meaning by connecting your random time on this planet to something bigger than yourself. When you are drawing connections in your life, it is helpful if you have something to connect them TO.
3) Surround yourself with interesting conversation. Yes, this means you need to read the news. READ THE NEWS. Go to art galleries, operas, pop music concerts, new restaurants, free book readings. What else do you have to talk about? Turn off your TV, unplug your computer and go do something. Hasta luego!
