About Anna

Hey there! My name is Anna and I have hashimoto’s disease. Hashimotos is an autoimmune disease that affects your thyroid, and many other areas of life. In spite of health hurdles, I am passionate about living life to the fullest and helping others do the same!

I live in the Portland area where I got my bachelors in Theology with an emphasis on Pastoral Counseling. I love to adventure, study personality, weight train, write poetry, learn about new people and culture, and decorate, to name a few things!

If you've ever tried to play the savior in an unhealthy relationship, you know. Sometimes when all you want to do is save, you end up enabling, and hurting yourself in the process. Learn to let go of the fantasy that you are the only one who can help them.

Happy Tuesday friends! πŸ’™New blog post is up! "Why you should chase meaning over happiness." With mental health problems and mental health awareness both on the rise, I thought this was an important topic. "See, chasing happiness puts us in the star role of life. All the decisions we end up making we base off if if they will bring happiness to ME. All the people we have in our life are there only if we think they can do something for ME. All we do in life, no matter what good that may be, we do to make ME happy. And when we put ourselves on that throne, we inevitably become "smaller" though our goal is to take up more space. We fail at our life's mission--to bring ourselves the most happiness." Read more on the blog!

Remember to take time and breathe this holiday season. It's easy this time of year to get whisked away into the whirlwind of busyness and obligations. In the midst of taking care of everything else--it's okay to take care of yourself. Its okay to spend time alone, to say no, to make time to workout, to breathe, or to take a walk outside. You can't pour out of any empty cup! πŸ–€ β€’ β€’ β€’ β€’ β€’ β€’ β€’ β€’ β€’ β€’ β€’ β€’ β€’ β€’ #hellohashimotos #hashimotos #chronicillness #autoimmunedisease #thyroid #bloggersofinstagram #blogger #livingmybestlife #everysquareastory #mindfullness #selfcare #mentalhealth #wellness #health #colorful #colorgram #colorworld #fall #autumn #fallfashion #ootd #boots #leaves
Chickpea pasta and meat sauce for lunch today! πŸ‘…As anyone who suffers with autoimmune disease is very aware of, it takes a lot of trial and error to find out what type of diet works for you. One consistency in my trial and error is that I can't eat gluten and feel well. That's why I was so excited when I saw this pasta! πŸ’ Chickpeas are not only gluten free, but have a low glycemic index, and are packed full of protein and fiber. They also contain vitamins like selenium, copper, vitamin k, zinc, folate, phosphorus, manganese, and choline. Try to incorporate more chickpeas into your diet, and see if it makes a positive difference for you! πŸ‘ŠπŸ’• β€’ β€’ β€’ β€’ β€’ β€’ β€’ β€’ β€’ β€’ β€’ β€’ β€’ β€’ β€’ β€’ β€’ β€’ #hellohashimotos #hashimotos #hashimotosthyroiditus #chronicillness #autoimmunedisease #thyroid #life #wholeliving #simplicity #health #fitness #healthy #cleaneats #glutenfree #diet #chickpeas #pasta #banza #healthyliving #livingmybestlife #food #foodie #comfortfood #liveunscripted #lifecolorfuly #color #blog #bloggersofinstagram #everysquareastory
New blog post is up! To anyone who cheers when plans get cancelled, goes to the bathroom at parties just to get a minute alone, sits happily alone in the dark after a long day with people, takes themselves out to movies and dinner, and knows full well their social energy is indeed a tank that can only be filled with alone time--you're not alone! THIS ONE'S FOR YOU! This introvert thing is no joke. 😫 There is a lot of business and noise in this world--and it can be downright overwhelming. So that means we just need to do a good job of taking care of ourselves! Check out my 8 best ways to recharge after your social battery hits the dust.
