Welcome to Halo
Hi there! I’m Halo — and this blog is my space for starting over.
Right now, I’m far from the person I want to be.
My habits aren’t healthy, I’m overweight, I don’t have a stable income, making new relationships does not feel natural to me, and I often struggle to stay focused or follow through on the goals I set for myself.
In short? I needed a reset.
Why I Chose to Start This Journey
Once I realized how far I’ve drifted from who I want to be, I made a decision:
“I’m not going to settle for this version of myself — even if it’s honestly “not terrible.”
I started small: just simple exercises I made up to understand my current situation. But the more I looked at it, the more I saw how much I needed a change.
I’m still at the very beginning of this journey. I’m figuring it out as I go.
But with every small step, I felt a growing need to share — not as an expert, but as someone who’s doing the work in real-time.
I’ve always loved writing, so creating this blog felt natural. That’s how Halo was born—a place where I can share the process, reflect out loud, and maybe help others find ideas and motivation along the way.
What You’ll Find on This Blog
This is not a “how-to” blog written from the finish line — this is a walking-with-you blog.
I’m learning, building new habits, and growing, and I’ll be sharing the tools and thoughts that helped me (and a few that didn’t).
Here’s what you’ll find here:
- Self-development exercises I designed for myself
- Book reviews + my nots tips for maximizing them
- My “Journal” notes I’m taking for myself – and for you – along the way.
- How I’m building a system in Notion to support my quest
- Small steps that helped me get unstuck – in every field of life
Thinking of Starting Your Own Self-Development Journey?
If you’re feeling stuck or simply curious about building a better version of yourself — you’re not alone.
I cannot promise this blog will change your life. But I can promise it will be honest. I’ll share what works for me, what doesn’t, and everything in between. Maybe it will spark something for you, too.
With love, Halo ❤️
