In a culture of constant stimulation and always striving for the next big thing, we all need a reminder that we're right where we need to be. If anyone understands that, it's Emily in Paris star Ashley Park. The actress, singer, and dancer knows how difficult it can feel to experience "Someday Syndrome," a term that refers to dreaming about a goal, but convincing yourself that you have to make more money to achieve it. Keep reading for Park's tips on conquering "Someday Syndrome."


Ashley Park's Tips For Conquering "Someday Syndrome"

Ashley Park on Instagram: "🧚🏼 @voguemagazine 🌿 link in bio :)…"

"I feel like our entire generation is having a collective awakening, especially after facing unprecedented situation after unprecedented situation these past few years," Park says. "I suddenly had to confront my own personal signs of “Someday Syndrome,” which had manifested into feelings of anxiety and the stark recognition that I’d been procrastinating on decisions and actions in life that I didn’t feel prepared or capable of achieving."

Understanding these feelings as a general idea is one thing, but how do you tell if you're experiencing "Someday Syndrome" yourself? Maybe you have a lifelong dream that is within your grasp, but you're putting it off, even though you're not really sure why. Or you're constantly telling others that if you can just get a little bit more money saved up, then you can finally be happy with your life. You're not alone if you have these habits — this is something we struggle with on a regular basis as well.

If you realize that you are experiencing "Someday Syndrome," a natural next step is "The Great Realization," a term coined by Northwestern Mutual, and figuring out both what your priorities actually are *and* how to organize your life so that your top priorities are first. Perhaps your personal Great Realization comes after something out of your control happens — or you make a commitment that you realize isn't actually a priority.

"I’ve found myself thinking more and deeply about what I value? How do I want to spend my life? And how can I help others achieve the life they want as well?" Park says. "Asking myself these questions is when my priorities come into sharp focus."

While pursuing those things that are most important to us — dreams, life changes, meaningful relationships — can be scary, it's even scarier to get to a point in your life when you realize you never did them at all. "I’d recommend that people ask themselves, “Have I been putting off what I really want?”" she says. "If so, think about your “why” and recognize that you don’t have to go at it alone."

Take matters into your own hands to create a personal plan since you know yourself and your habits best, and ask family and friends to keep you accountable. Whether you need tips for saving moneyand want tocreate a budget that works for your life, or need to reorganize your work so you can focus on one thing at a time with monotasking, whatever works best for you is going to be the right choice.

But no matter what personalized plan of action you choose, there's one thing everyone can do to begin: saying your goals out loud. "In some cases I had never even acknowledged to myself that I even wanted certain things," Park says. "I think that as millennials, especially BIPOC women, we can be afraid to speak our ambitions aloud for fear we have to live with the failure and disappointment when we don’t or can’t achieve them."

www.instagram.com

Speaking your goals out loud in your bedroom, telling a friend, or even writing them out on a vision board can help you visualize the details of what you want, and the steps that will get you there. Seeing the step you can achieve this week will feel more realistic than constantly feeling the pressure of your end goal. However, that doesn't mean you have to stick with the same plan the entire time.

"You’re allowed to change what you want and you’re allowed to dream big," Park says. "Especially for millennial women, life may not look like what we expected it to, but we cannot hit pause on our lives. There is now no 'right' or 'wrong' way to live your life." Not only can dreams and goals look different for every person, but it can also change over time for the same person as that person grows and evolves.

Just like with any area of life, you'll remember the process of getting to your goal just as much as you remember achieving it. "Often in life, we are pressured to put focus on the end product rather than the process," Park says. "As soon as we find joy in the process of anything, then we are able to trust what life has in store for us in a more joyful way."

"Our generation has been through so much from a global pandemic to inflation – which has left many feeling uncertain about the future. It’s important that we take the time to speak our goals out loud and remember that the best time to invest in ourselves is today, not someday."

B+C: What are some affordable ways you spend your free time?

AP: I really cherish time that I can disengage with work and socializing, and now my ideal ‘free time’ is truly sitting with a couple loved ones and sharing in private and personal quality time, preferably on a couch or in someone’s backyard with a home cooked meal. Since a lot of my work requires me to be extroverted and on my feet, it’s important to me that my free time is simply staying still and replenishing myself in ways that don’t involve going out on the town or lavish dinners out.

B+C: What’s a beauty product you always have in your bag?

AP: I’m one of those people who can’t go anywhere without some sort of chapstick or lip balm. I think I have a UBeauty Plasma Lip Compound or a Burts Bees chapstick tucked away in every bag.

B+C: What’s your go-to recipe to make?

AP: I’m not sure I have a go-to recipe because that puts a lot of pressure on that dish to be good if I make it hahahah. I recently did a spaghetti squash recipe that wasn’t too bad! I love trying new recipes when I get time in a kitchen… I have to admit that my timing and measuring skills are questionable when it comes to recipe-following. But my favorite thing to do is prep and clean. I find chopping vegetables and cleaning the dishes as I go to be so therapeutic.

B+C: What’s your favorite self-care activity?

AP: I mean, who doesn’t love a massage? To be more specific, I’ve found that pilates sessions feel like a massage of my muscles and has become essential to my breath, well-being, and self-care. Also trying to find a beach with lots of sunshine to just lie in for a couple days is an annual necessity for me. Relaxing in that Vitamin D does wonders for every part of me… I’m not sure if lying in the sun counts as an activity, but hey, self-care is unique to each of us.

B+C: What’s your favorite pump-up song?

AP: Oo honestly it depends on the vibe of what I’m getting pumped up for. I’m the person who forgoes any control over the pump up playlist in any setting. Play any song and I’ll jam to it. I’m always up for BlackPink though.

Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce Finally Spotted After Devastating Super Bowl Loss — Hopping In The Back Of An SUV

Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce have been taking some deserved time off after Tay's whirlwind Eras Tour and Travis' third consecutive Super Bowl. And amid engagement rumors and reports Taylor's "taking a year off" to see how things go with their relationship, this couple has been doing the most important thing: connecting!

Here's the latest update on Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce after the Super Bowl.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce finally had a low-key date.

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by curators of pop culture (@deuxmoi)

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were spotted in Park City, Utah on March 10 (thanks to this clip from DeuxMoi). The couple had grabbed dinner together before hopping into their car, and considering how wild their outings are in New York City — with fans and paparazzi galore — I'm glad they were able to enjoy what looks like a more low-key experience.

Taylor appears to be in a gray coat and black boots, with her signature waves and bangs, while Travis rocks a pale two-piece outfit. And like the gentleman he is, Travis lets Tay inside the white SUV first before climbing inside.

And they continually proves how much they love each other.

The date comes after the couple spent some time away “reconnecting after a very busy year," a Page Six source says, while another source tells the publication a post-vacation outing “went unnoticed.”

“They weren’t photographed or anything,” the second source continues. Way to fly under the radar! But one thing that didn't fly under our radar? Travis and Taylor saying "I love you" on live TV after the AFC championship game.

After the Chiefs won the game, and Travis gave a very passionate speech about how he's "never satisfied" when it comes to football, Taylor and Travis embraced and shared a kiss.

Travis appears to say, "I love you so much," and Taylor seems to reply with, "I love you. I'm so proud of you" (which you can see in this video, and per People's report.) I just love love!

Read up on why Taylor Swift Brings Out The "Best Version" Of Travis Kelce for more news on this celeb couple.

Brandon Sklenar Finally Explained What That Matching Justin Baldoni Pin Actually Meant

The It Ends With Us premiere went viral in August of 2024 when Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, Brandon Sklenar, and the rest of the cast didn't interact with director and star Justin Baldoni on the red carpet. But when Brandon appeared at the Vanity Fair Oscars party on March 2, wearing the same brooch Justin wore to the movie premiere, fans immediately wondered if the actor was showing some low-key support amid Justin's legal battle with Blake Lively. Well, Brandon just cleared the air, revealing whether that brooch had any significant meaning.

Here's what Brandon Sklenar had to say about that Vanity Fair Oscars flower pin — and whether it was connected to Justin Baldoni.

Brandon Skelnar "had no idea" he wore the same pin as Justin Baldoni.

Amy Sussman/Getty Images

During the SXSW premiere of his new movie The Drop, Brandon Sklenar revealed there was no hidden meaning behind his decision to wear the Anabela Chan Parrot Bloom Brooch (try saying that five times fast).

“Honestly, no. I wish I could say there was,” he told People. “That was a total happenstance. I woke up in the morning and saw an article and I was like, ‘Oh, damn.’ I literally had no idea. I had an idea I wanted to wear like a floral brooch of some kind and that was the color that I liked the best. And, lo and behold, someone also wore that prior to me wearing it.”

The actor wore the pale pink pin on a black suit jacket for a high-contrast statement. And it even complemented the VF background!

But he wants to honor the "core" of 'It Ends With Us' as the legal battle continues.

Amy Sussman/Getty Images

Brandon Sklenar has been vocal about staying true to the "core ethos" of It Ends With Us amid the drama.

"It's a tough situation," the 1923 actor told The Hollywood Reporter at the Vanity Fair Oscars party. "I just hope everyone remembers what the movie is about and why we made it in the first place. It's about love. It's about supporting women in general and helping people through tough times."

"I just want people to remember what it's about, why we made it, and to kinda keep it on that," he continued. "That kind of, like, core ethos, you know what I mean?"
