Feb-Mar'24 Updates: Designing My Lifestyle
A well-designed life is a marvelous portfolio of experiences, of adventures, of failures that taught you important lessons, of hardships that made you stronger and helped you know yourself better, and of achievements and satisfactions (Burnett & Evans, 2016).
Unica's Note Collections is a personal journal newsletter of learning experiences and gratitude moments.
There are days when I feel at peace, and it’s during those times when I’m listening to Lofi music, soaking up the quiet space in my room, and opening up a book, preparing to immerse myself in a different reality.
Two years ago today, I overloaded myself with so many tasks and jobs — thinking I was going to get myself somewhere. I learned a lot about what truly matters now. Back then, I used to value my career above everything else. Right now, it feels really nice to be in this tranquil space. I think this is what most people yearn for — a moment free from worries — you’re just here — in this quiet stillness.
Every now and then, it’s good to pause, take a deep breath, and find gratitude in the little things — especially when those things require you to do absolutely nothing.
I'm grateful for moments when I don't feel obligated to do anything— and all I’m doing is just breathing.

I am learning to not compare myself with others on their career journey. My journey is unique and my timeline will be different than others, and I appreciate where I’m at right now. I’m also learning to take a little bit of risk here and there.
I am learning to let go of all the limits I used to believe. I’m learning to change my mindset because my thoughts will attract them.
I am learning that it is never too late to start over again. I’m learning that it isn’t too late to “dream” or visualize my ideal life. I’m telling myself that it will happen.
I am going to romanticize my life the way that I want and desire.
I am going to watch my manifestations come to life. Some of these manifestations have already happened, and I’m excited to continue seeing miracles and opportunities unfold.
I created my UGC (user-generated content) portfolio! This took me about 5 hours, but I have been consistently updating my site every other day (adding new video content, updating my services/rates, and more). I’m obsessed with it! Putting all of my content work and passions in one place: https://unigodina.my.canva.site :)
If you know anyone (business, brand, individual) who is interested in working or collaborating with me, please feel free to reach out! <3
I also created my first Amazon Storefront! I’ve been wanting to do affiliate marketing since last December 2023! And now, it is live! www.amazon.com/shop/unigodina
Five years ago, I felt stuck, but now, I realize I was never stuck. Because I have always generated a lot of ideas and taking action towards them — and it’s always leading me somewhere.
I’ve always been a creator and I’m going to harness this strength to do work that combines personal meaning, financial abundance, and community impact.
I will be graduating this June 2024 with a Master of Science in Entrepreneurship degree, so I will share updates by then! Thank you to all of you for reading and supporting my content.
Best,
Unica
