    Why Do Some Days Feel So Draining?

    October 13, 2019 - By Rachelle ♡

    Category: Real Life & Reset I’ve been asking myself this a lot lately. Why do some days feel heavier than others even when nothing particularly bad happens? There are days where I wake up already exhausted. Not physically exactly. More mentally. Like my brain already used up energy before the…

    Maybe I Need to Slow Down

    August 18, 2019 - By Rachelle ♡

    Lately, I’ve been feeling mentally tired in a way I can’t fully explain. Not because of one specific thing, but because everything seems to pile up quietly over time.

    April 14, 2019 - By Rachelle ♡

    Lately, I’ve been trying to become more productive. Or at least, that’s what I keep telling myself. I make plans in my head all the time. I tell myself I’ll wake up earlier, organize things better, follow routines properly, and finally become one of those people who seem to have…
