Reminder of the day! ❤️✨
TIME IS NOT REFUNDABLE.
USE IT WITH INTENTION.
💗🍰BECOMING SELFISH IS THE BEST THING I DID💗🍰
This post is my notes of thewizardliz video of the same topic as this post . I always tend to lose the notes I make 😑, so I thought that I should make a post on this ( lol )
💗STOP ARGUING WITH PEOPLE WHO AREN'T WILLING TO LISTEN
If the boundaries were crossed, the conversation is over . They aren't worth your time or energy.
🍰START PRIORITIZING YOUR OWN NEEDS & WANTS
" Whatever I want , goes first ". Fill your own cup first, Are you whole ? Are you okay ?
💗STOP BEING ALWAYS AVAILABLE & TRYING TO SAVE EVERYONE
You cannot save everyone. To be honest , you cannot same anyone . If a person does not want to change , if a person doesn't want to be saved,you will not save anyone & just end up losing your energy.
🍰SOMETIMES YOU HELPING IS ACTUALLY SABOTAGING GOD'S PLAN
People get certain problems / situations in their life because God gives them , it's for them to go through. So they can become wiser & fulfill their life purpose. If someone is stepping in & trying to be their savior , they are sabotaging God's plan & blocking their own blessings.
💗START BEING OKAY WITH PEOPLE MISUNDERSTANDING YOU
They don't have to understand you. It's very reasonable they don't understand you , people have come from different countries , culture, environment. They don't have the same mindset or heart as you. You cannot make them understand you because they aren't you. If you constantly go through life thinking everybody has the same heart as you , you will be hurt . People are different. Let them be.
🍰REALISE THAT YOU CAN ONLY CHANGE YOURSELF
Humans love comfort. In order to change, it requires alot of courage , strength & discomfort. If you are constantly putting your energy trying to change people , to become their best version. You are wasting your energy that you can use to become your best version. Lead by example .
💗STOP NEEDING PEOPLE TO VALIDATE YOUR SELF WORTH
You don't need anyone to tell you how good , smart or beautiful you are , if you already see those qualities in yourself. If you only feel that you are a good person when someone else tells you that you are a good person, if you need validation from other people , then you are just a slave of other people because their opinion can change your reality.When you are the one who always creates their own reality. You have to be strong in your own self , tell yourself how amazing you are.
🍰TALK TO YOURSELF , TAKE YOURSELF ON A DATE , HUG YOURSELF , COMPLIMENT YOURSELF
Say in the mirror how amazing you are to yourself.
💗LESS CHASING MORE ATTRACTING
Tune in with your feminine energy . Be relaxed, just do what is good for you & your body. Become open to receiving to your blessings & manifestations. If you aren't desperately chasing after things , then you are really whole.
🍰ONLY ADDING GREAT PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE
Allow people who add value in your life. Do they make you happy ? Is it a both way thing ?.
💗STOP SEEKING PEOPLE'S PERMISSION TO DO WHAT YOU WANT.
You don't need anyone's permission to do what is good for yourself. You know yourself well enough. " I know I can do it & I will do it " . Others opinions should be irrelevant to you , how cocky people can be to think that they know you better than you know yourself. They haven't gone through anything you have gone through. They haven't lived your life so who are they to decide what is good for you ? " Mmmm..none of your buisness ,goodbye "
I need a part 2!!! So inspirating!❤☀
small life lessons we can all pick up from audrey hepburn ♡
be kind: what is more beautiful than someone who is genuinely kind? there was no doubt audrey had a huge heart! among her many amazing qualities this is what also magnified her beauty, she was a philanthropist and did humanitarian work around the world, constantly at aid to the people who needed it. audrey hepburn believed in kindness, she treated everyone around her with respect.
when you are kind your aura immediately becomes brighter, you attract what you put out into the world and people who are the same will naturally gravitate towards you because of the positive energy you’re putting out. treat everyone around you how you would like to be treated, say your pleases and thank you’s, give out compliments, and most importantly spread love!
“for beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.” ~ audrey hepburn
“remember, if you ever need a helping hand, it’s at the end of your arm. as you get older, remember you have another hand: the first is to help yourself, the second is to help others.” ~ audrey hepburn
learn languages: audrey was fluent in 6 languages! learning a new language brings you closer to the people and the culture for sure, and improves so many functions in your brain as well! It brings you so many job opportunities, and more of an excuse to travel the world!
the best part about learning a language in the twenty first century is that there is access to soooo much information for free online! youtube, tumblr, and language exchange apps have so much information when it comes to common languages people are learning around the world.
audrey speaking italian ♡:
be graceful: audrey hepburn exuded grace, despite all of the hardships she experienced in life including the natzi occupation in her home which resulted into a lot of unfortunate events, she still followed the things close to her heart like practicing ballet and attending classes before and after the occupation, becoming a actress and movie star, and devoting her time and energy to UNICEF. what a hard working woman!
audrey also had amazing posture from her ballet background and spoke to everyone soft and smoothly, it was so pleasant to hear her speak!
being graceful makes you radiate from the inside out, it’s in how you speak to yourself and others, it’s how you carry yourself, it’s giving your best to everything you do and are passionate about and wanting to better yourself as a person, it’s walking with confidence with everything you do that it will rub off on the people around you as well! walk tall with your shoulders back and chin held high, walk into your grace and own it!
apply these 3 things to your daily life and watch yourself slowly bloom into a person who is improving day by day into a lovely human being ♡
+ curated shopping: rather than over-consume in fast fashion and trends, buy fewer, high-quality items. frequent vintage shops, boutiques, or markets where you can find unique, timeless pieces.
+ focus on wellness and exercise: consider activities that are beneficial for the body and calming for the mind, such as yoga, pilates, or long walks in nature. choose activities that allow you to connect with your surroundings and maintain balance.
+ mindful eating: prioritise healthy, whole foods and cooking meals from scratch. organic produce, artisanal products, and perhaps even locally sourced ingredients could be staples in your kitchen. eating is a mindful practice, enjoyed at a leisurely pace.
+ cultural engagement: regularly visit museums, art galleries, and theatres, or participate in cultural events that inspire and enrich their creative spirit. value learning and exposure to the arts as a way to keep life vibrant and intellectually stimulating.
+ reading and continuous learning: develop a well-curated collection of books, including classic literature, philosophy, and art, and dedicate time regularly to reading and reflecting on what you've learned.
+ minimalist technology approach: stay up-to-date with necessary technology, but maintain a minimalist approach to its use. limit screen time, avoid social media distractions, and instead prioritise face-to-face interactions or hands-on activities.
+ intentional socialising: carefully cultivate your social life, with a focus on deep, meaningful connections rather than frequent, casual interactions. you likely enjoy hosting intimate gatherings at home, where you can experience conversation, ambiance, and connection.
Big Sister Advice Dating Addition 💋🌹🍷
Here is some of my big sister advice for dating!! Also I am just going to say I am a straight girl so all of this advice is going to be centered on dating men because that’s all I feel I can give advice on!
Don’t play hard to get actually be hard to get
GET A LIFE! BE BUSY!!!
The most interesting thing in your life should not be your dating life.
Get a hobby and have a social life that is not romantic.
You’ll have less time to stress about him not texting you and your self worth will be high because you are not basing it off of the attention you receive from men.
First dates should never be a dinner date on the weekend!
Never waste a weekend on what could be a terrible date with a dude.
Also dinner dates are really awkward and the silence gets so loud. I recommend doing a fun activity like bowling or mini golf. It will let you easy the first date jitters and make it less awkward when the conversation stops because you are doing something. Coffee dates are the same as dinner dates!
Also if you play a game with him on the first date you get to see if he is a sore loser or a mean winner which is a great red flag to catch immediately. No man should be insecure about you being better at a stupid game!!!!
No good guy is comfortable with a woman’s tears!!!!!!!
They should always check on you and make sure you are ok.
I knew my boyfriend was a keeper when he was very concerned that I started to cry cuz I was laughing too hard.
My dad always told me that if a man is comfortable seeing you cry about the small stuff then he is okay seeing you cry over him!
If he doesn’t ask consent for the small stuff then he won’t ask consent for the big stuff.
If the words “it’ll ruin the moment” ever leaves his lips leave immediately.
If you want princess treatment you can’t be shocked when you get it.
Obviously don’t be a bitch about it. But if he buys you flowers don’t be shocked or tell him you shouldn’t have!!!!
Be grateful and tell him you love it!!! POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT let him know when he makes you happy!!
Don’t let them know you are happy with the bare minimum. DONT BE HAPPY WITH THE BARE MINIMUM!
Be vocal in what you dislike
I had an older girl tell me in highschool that a woman’s “ewww” is the most powerful tool she has.
Because if a man cares about your opinion you being openly disgusted is the worst thing possible.
And if he doesn’t care about your opinion he will laugh or make you seem like you are being dramatic.
I also love a good “ I don’t find that funny actually” because then if he tells that joke again around you you’ll know or if he tells you to “lighten up”
How he talks about all women is how he will talk about you!
Even if he says you are “different” from other women eventually he is going to talk about you the same way.
If he calls other girls sluts and hoes the second you do something he doesn’t like he is going to call you that.
No women haters will actually love women!!!!!
Let there be distance in the relationship especially when it first starts.
If you’ve gone on one date you don’t need to text him everyday nor should you be worried if he doesn’t text you!!!
Even in long term relationships some days all you have time for is a good morning and a good night! And that’s ok!!!! Only worry if that’s happening a lot with no explanation.
If you want to date a man with his life together you also have to have your life together
Just like you wouldn’t date a man who does nothing but sit on his phone all day and has no life men are the same way.
Especially guys who have their life together because no one wants a partner who doesn’t fit in with their lifestyle.
Xoxo 💋
Self-care night. Candlelight bubble baths, hair mask, manicure, face mask, home-cooked meal, a good book or your comfort show, some journaling... allow yourself some rest <3
Organise and use your planner/calendar. This will help you reduce stress by helping you stay structured and focused.
Update your Spotify playlists. Nothing is more annoying than being on the go, trying to relax to your music, and constantly having to skip songs that don't resonate with you anymore!!
Sunday reset is a non-negotiable!! laundry, fresh sheets, cleaning your make-up brushes, decluttering, etc...
Catch up on some sleep. Take a nap or choose a night to go to sleep extra early. (I recently read this article on sleep dept... VERY interesting!! -> Click here)
Plan a weekly girl's day!! maybe a picnic, some shopping, a movie night, or perhaps just a coffee date? make some plans and catch up with your girls <3
Go on a long morning walk; maybe you'll be able to catch the sunrise too!!
Buy yourself some flowers. You deserve them. <3
As always, please feel free to share your own suggestions and tips in the comments!! ♡
love ya ・:*₊‧౨ৎ
A Mini Guide For : How To level Up Your Confidence
1. Reframe Your Fails into Fuel - Instead of letting setbacks crush you view them as training moments. Everyone messes up but confident people use those experiences to learn and improve. Next time you face a challenge tell yourself "This is an opportunity to grow" and watch your confidence soar.
Celebrate Your Strengths - Don't wait for someone else to pat you on the back. Recognize and appreciate your own talents and accomplishments. Make a list of things you're good at big or small and revisit it whenever self doubt creeps in. Remind yourself - I am awesome at speaking and doing conversations and that's something to be proud of!
Fake It Til You Make It "in the Right Way" - This one gets a bad rap but here's the key don't pretend to be someone you're not. Instead act confident even if you don't feel it completely. Stand tall, make eye contact, and speak clearly. This outward projection can trick your brain into feeling more confident and over time it can become genuine
Compete Against Yourself, Not Others - Ditch the comparisons! Social media and societal pressures can make us feel like we're constantly falling short. But true confidence comes from focusing on your own journey, not someone else's highlight reel.Track your progress and celebrate how far you've come and set goals that challenge you to be a better version of yourself.
Focus on "what you can control," not the rest: Can't control others' opinions? Let it go. Focus on your strengths and actions and how you want to show up in the world Be your own boss.
Be patient with yourself and know your self more so that you can know in what areas you need to develop more , Message me if you guys want that sheet to know about yourself more 🥰

Adopting an alter ego offers you a creative pathway for personal growth, allowing you to explore and embody qualities you admire but have not yet dared to live out, effectively overcoming fears and expanding your sense of self. it serves as both a mental strategy for confronting your personal limitations and a practical tool for enhancing resilience, fostering a deeper connection with your potential, and encouraging the realization of an empowered identity.
Reflect on Your Aspirations: Begin by deeply contemplating the qualities you find admirable in others-those traits you see and think, "I wish that were me." Ask yourself which of these qualities, if adopted, could significantly propel you toward your goals. Imagine the kind of person you would become if you embodied these traits.
Identify Your Challenges: Consider the obstacles that often stand in your way.An alter ego can be designed to navigate these with ease and confidence.
Name Her: Choose a name that resonates with the energy and essence of this new persona.
Define Her Traits: Is she bold? Creative? Unapologetically ambitious? Outline the characteristics that define her.
Visualize Her Style: How does she dress? How does she carry herself?Visualizing her can help solidify her presence in your mind.
Choose Her Moments: Identify specific situations where invoking your alter ego could be beneficial. Start small if it feels overwhelming
Act 'As If': Step into her shoes in these moments. Act 'as if you already possess her confidence and capabilities.
Reflect on Your Experiences: Afterward, take time to journal about the experience.What did you learn? How did it feel to see the world through her eyes?
Gradual Integration: The aim is not to constantly embody your alter ego, but to seamlessly incorporate its strengths into your daily life. It's about slowly blending the qualities of your alter ego with your own, enhancing your personality and capabilities over time.
Celebrate Growth: Recognize and celebrate each instance when you exhibit qualities of your alter ego. These moments mark significant progress in your journey, showing you're moving beyond your comfort zone and embracing personal development.
Your alter ego is more than a figment of your imagination; she's a testament to the unexplored depths of your potential. By inviting her into your life, you're not just pretending to be someone else; you're discovering the powerful, fearless you that's been there all along. Ready to meet her?
