i'm not journaling as often as i used to and i'm really okay with it. i guess what i want to say is that you don't have to be creative when you don't feel like it. it's as simple as that. to be able to enjoy your journey, you have to listen to yourself and honor your process.
- write down a list of goals and habits you want to implement in your life.Β
- meditate. lay down, alone with your thoughts, left to truly think and have time with your conscious mind unoccupied by distraction. take the time to actually listen to yourself with undivided attention
- engage in yoga. stretch.
- write down what you're grateful for
- take a shower. put on freshly-scented lotion. refresh and restart.
- do laundry. clean outΒ and organize your clothes, donate some
- refresh and restart your phone, laptop, desktop, etc. clean out and organize your files, applications, layout, etc. filter out your social media from youtube to instagram to twitter to contain content towards your betterment
- call your family and friends. have a discussion, talk to them, laugh with them
- hang out with your friends. have a study session orΒ just be together asΒ you all sketch, paint, journal, eat
- listen to podcasts for personal growth and development. humor, health, productivity, any kind of podcast.
- clean and reorganize your home. clean out the kitchen, living room, bedrooms, etc. rearrange and design them. let your home reflect you. give it a breath of fresh air with change, whether small or big
- plan out your week // bullet journal
- learn. learn a new language, take out a notebook, write notes, listen to audios, practice. learn another programming language. learn about the history of islam. learn cryptography and encryption. learn anything that excites you, that betters you
- get a blanket and go out and lie in nature
- read. read a book on personal development, read a book in a foreign language, read a book about history, read articles about the most random things or articles catered to your interests, to self growth, to the present world today. read to learn.
- go out and volunteer. contribute to and for good. help out at a homeless shelter, help with a sustainability project or beach clean up, aid and provide comfort and ease to the elderly, sick, and young
- sit down. read the quran. reflect andΒ understand.
- go on a bike ride. take in the air that hits you, the side conversations that leave your hearing just as quickly as they enter, take in the moment.
one could see this just as a list of stuff to do, and it basically is. but for me, it's a multitude of opportunities to grow, to better, to breath, to live. I'd like to spend my time actually living, doing good, growing, being conscious and present, so here are some notes to myself, and hopefully you.

The first weekβs been pretty cool, the teachers can be intimidating but the experience is fun. I think I accidentally grew into those people who take cool notes with memo pads, annotations, and highlights during class hehe <33

You know what many top students do differently? They donβt solve all the problems/questions once. They do it again and again.
So now if you have a question set, solve it as many times as possible and youβll be surprised to find how automated your hand moves during the exam this time!
Do you like reading books? Can you suggest books that are easy to read in Spanish for beginners, or some movies?
Hi, of course! I hope some of these recommendations are helpful!
Books:
β’ Spanish Short Stories For Beginners by Lingo Mastery
β’ Short Stories In Spanish For Beginners & Spanish Short Stories For Beginners 2 by Olly Richards
β’ Easy Spanish Reader by William T. Tardy. This book is separated into three sections and the readings in each are followed by comprehension activities.
*All three of the previously mentioned books can be downloaded for free on https://z-lib.org
β’ This organizationβs website has a few great picture books in Spanish that you can download for free. https://www.heifer.org/what-you-can-do/get-involved/schools/home-school-activities/books-and-reading-resources.html
β’ This website has a handful of great pdfs https://www.spanishplayground.net/spanish-books-for-beginners/
Movies:
β’ El Laberinto del Fauno (Panβs Labyrinth) This is available on Netflix and Iβd suggest watching movies with subtitles. If youβre able to, thereβs a chrome extension you can download called Language Learning with Nextflix where you can have subtitles in both your native & target language
β’ I also suggest watching any movie youβre familiar with like if you love Disney movies you should find the Spanish version of them
Sorry I donβt have any true movie recs yet! If anyone has any other resources they know of, feel free to add them :)
