βMy biggest regrets in life are being too damn nice, apologizing when I didnβt do anything wrong, and making unworthy people a priority.β

i interpret the process of becoming our best version as climbing a ladder, on each step, we learn something new that serves us, and the next we complement it with something new, and so on until we reach the end and after many small habits we have become that version we wanted to be. little by little we are learning and although sometimes it is complicated to climb because of the adversities that may arise we can always take up the path again and put into practice what we have learned. that said, today i want to share a method that i have created to organize our habits and thus fulfill them more effectively and feel motivated. in this post i will only present some examples, you have to apply it to your own situation and my recommendation is to start now even with small habits that will be the ones that will lead you to success. i recommend that you try it for this week and write down your results, if it has worked for you keep using this "organization method" and adding new habits or increasing its time.
organize by categories.
create groups to categorize the habits you want to implement in your life, for example like this (the habits are examples, use your own)
πΏ health (body and nutrition)
10 minutes of exercise every day
30 minutes of walking every day
drink a lot more water
start eating consciously
one self-care day a week, for example on friday. we can take this day more relaxed and take more care of ourselves, dedicate more time to our personal and mental care.
do massage with the quartz roller and gua sha
make an appointment for nails, hairdresser, spa, eyelashes or even go to a coffee shop with yourself.
use a face mask and hair mask
πΏ personal growth
read 10 pages a day
listen to personal growth podcasts or audiobooks (choose one and listen to it all week long)
choose an affirmation and write it down every day
record in a diary or an app your mood and what you did during the day.
create a to-do list of what you will do for the day (the night before)
choose a video of affirmations and listen to it every day at a time that suits you best
πΏ studies
study about what you are studying or training for.
dedicate e.g. 20-30 minutes each day to study or review.
study a new language, 15 minutes a day, 5 days a week.
πΏ hobbies
1 - 2 hours to what you enjoy doing (depends on the day and your schedule)
you can write down in a notebook the groups you want to choose for yourself and then the habits you are going to implement, even if they are very small, for example 5 minutes of daily exercise, that is a good start.
to stay focused and not fall into old habits we can also replace the old habits with new ones that we want to implement in this way.
old habit: too much time on instagram new habit: reading or listening to an audiobook while i take a walk. or even just 15 minutes of social media a day.
other examples:
drinking soda or alcoholic beverages > drinking a lot more water and starting to drink natural juices.
watch a lot of series on netflix (or any streaming platform) > read or listen to podcasts/audiobooks that nourish my mind.
overthinking, worrying > meditating for about 5 minutes
lying in bed without doing anything > organizing my room
think in negative > think about the things you would like to happen to you
other tips to connect with your best version
write in your diary how you would act, be and what habits your best version would have. this will give you clarity about what you want and you will feel closer to that because you will know how to act.
establish small habits to start with and take it as a kind of game or test during this week. don't push yourself too hard.
at times when you don't know how to act or react, think about how your best version would act and what it would do.
write down things you are proud of or would like to be proud of.
if you are easily distracted or do not know what to do at any given moment, set alarms to know what to do at that moment.
if you use social media a lot, set a limit of use.
choose habits that you know you will be able to do easily, that will make you gain confidence and little by little establish those habits in which you have procrastinated or which are more difficult for you.
think big, open yourself to the possibilities that life offers you every day and keep a positive attitude towards any situation.
apps i recommend: habit: it serves to keep track of your habits and also get organized, it's a kind of to-do list. daylio: you can record your mood, what you did during the day and your habits, it also allows you to write and add photos. it is very complete, it can be used as a digital diary. notion: to get organized.
duolingo: if you want to learn a language a few minutes a day will be enough. i learned a lot of grammar in english thanks to this, which works if you practice daily.
and as always my blog is about this and there will be many more related posts in addition to the existing ones, all to be our best version π€ in fact if you try it i would love to know your results.
Your soul knows. It will let you know when it's time to distance yourself from people who no longer align with you mentally, emotionally, physically, or energetically.
Pro Tip: To take your pics to a more polished level, study runway models and their red carpet pics/ video glimpses.
Master the skill of being stillβ¦enough to pause and pose for a clear shot while being in a steady motion enough for the photographer to take a variety of pics in a matter of seconds. View the visuals below as an example:
Make sure you move enough. Feet. Hips. Chin Up. Chin Down. Turn to the side. Let me break it down how I learned:
This is a reliable pose for a charity event pic and to poke your leg out of a sexy slit dress.
Stand Straight
Arch Back
Straighten Chin & Shoulders
Step One Leg Out
Step Back- No Legs Out
Step (Other) One Leg Out
Step Back- No Legs Out
Remember how we mentioned moving in motion? Now that youβre back standing straight, youβre going to move into your next pose:
Thereβs a couple of different ways to jazz this pose up. Repeat the same process as above, however stepping slightly to the left AND right.
RAZZLE DAZZLE IDEAS
Step OUT and then to the SIDE, as Lori is doing in the black pic
Step OUT, angle your foot to show the side of your heel and FLEX your calf and POINT your toes. Former Stripper tip!
Point your HEAD and FOOT (of the leg out) as if you were posing facing forward for three different individuals were photographing you. It allows you to capture multiple angles of your face profile, body shape and outfit.
Pro Tip: Have your photographer (your date, bf, etc.) step to their right and left (or move the camera) before you break a pose, capturing THREE DIFFERENT ANGLES of ONE pose.
See βOne Leg Lindaβ for a visual example.
This is my favorite because you can capture your Facebook family friendly pics while getting your sexy βyou see this bootyβ pics for the gram.
Prepare to move in a North-South-East-West motion.
Straighten Back
Place Hand on Hip
Cross your preferred foot over the other (as Lori is doing in the first pic)
Move Chin in a Traffic Light Motion every 2 seconds (Red, Yellow, Green) to capture front facing pics.
Turn your HEAD to the left
Turn your HEAD to the right
Uncross Feet
Repeat 6& 7
Look Back (At It) as Lori is doing in the pic to the right while moving chin in traffic light motion.
Pose as if youβre a socialite who has to prepare to be photographed by paparazzi.
Until next time baddies π§Ώππ―π πΎ

You were not created to be at war with who you are. Instead, support yourself and keep yourself whole. Fight alongside yourself, not against.

βWhat a terrible mistake to let go of something wonderful for something real.β
β Miranda July, No One Belongs Here More Than You
Iβm jealous of those who can function like a normal human being. They donβt have anxiety holding them back from everything, they donβt struggle to get out of bed or have to put on an act that everything is fine when its not. They donβt struggle to hold friendships and relationshipsβ¦ they donβt feel sad for no fucking reason everyday. Those that can hold jobs and work towards their dreams, the ones who have self esteem and see the beauty in themselves. Those that know what its like to feel safe and secure, not insecure and fearful of it all.Β
