Make 2021 the year where you save yourself.
You need to make yourself a priority. you should care about others but you don't need to risk your sanity for that.
You need to be away from people who expect but don't care about your expectations and needs.
Make 2021 about you, and I don't wanna sound selfish but you can't really honestly care about anyone if cannot keep yourself sane and alive.
Question everything, talk, communicate, and see if there's any reciprocation.
Have compassion for others, but first for yourself.
Living with yourself, knowing yourself, accepting your flaws will bring you closer to yourself, no kidding that shit is hard, omg so hard.
But you gotta LIVE for YOURSELF.
LIFE IS SUPER SHORT.
people are dying, people are dying without getting to do their favourite thing, without saying goodbye, without even checking the boxes in their bucket list.
So please talk, learn, communicate, live, love.
Today i am a bit closer to myself,
i save myself everyday and for that i am proud.
giving feminine energy
keep urself clean and keep up with ur basic hygiene (shower every day)
get hungry for knowledge - go to libraries, read in coffee shops, etc.
always be kind and don’t talk crap about people! this is a big one because it really affects ur attitude and the way other people see u
stay organized. an easy way to do this is just to tidy ur room before you go to bed. this way, ur bedroom is more ur sanctuary
do ur hair pretty!! use accessories like scrunchies, headbands, claw clips, etc.
always have your essentials in ur bag (menstrual products, lip gloss, phone, earbuds, whatever makes u feel prepared)
remember that u don’t have to prove anything to others. make urself enough for u personally without worrying what other people think, because chances are they’re focused more on themselves
if u embarrass yourself, laugh it off and stay calm. u are above embarrassment babes, u are divine, so a little slipup won’t matter
have dance parties in ur room to songs that make u feel confident
DONT CHASE ATTRACT
remember that control doesn’t mean controlling other people. control means controlling ur own assumptions
breathe. just breathe. and remember u are beautiful <3
mindset shift that changed my perspective on the journey to reaching my goals
1. words have power instead of seeing your efforts as strict discipline, begin to view them as acts of devotion to yourself and your dreams. your goals are a labor of love, not a chore. you don’t NEED to be disciplined, you need to be LOVINGLY devoted to yourself.
2. honor your goals devotion IS love and when you are devoted to something, you care deeply about it. applying this to your goals means you are treating them with the proper respect and love, not just as tasks to be checked off. it is not hard work, it is self love.
3. stop trying to follow others their path isn’t your path & what worked for them probably won’t work for you. cater your daily goals to YOU. don't follow their exact diet & add your favorite healthy food to it, eat it in your favorite plate, make a ritual out of it. honor it.
4. embrace failure have ambitious goals but don’t punish yourself for not achieving them. aim high, and if you fail, reflect on why. adjust what didn't work. failure is a part of the journey, not the end of it. with devotion, you see failure as a step forward, not a setback.
5. taking accountability instead of punishing yourself if you ruined your diet today, sit with your actions and allow yourself to feel those emotions, including any shame. but then, be kind to yourself and move on. stop fearing that you will fail again and trust yourself.
6. believe in yourself. this method works because it builds self-confidence. the more you practice & succeed, the more you trust yourself. by being devoted to your life, things just fall into place. *i’m not afraid of failure bc i know that, in the end, i will succeed as I always do.*
7. doing the hard things isn't hard do the hard things because your future self will thank you for it. be a gentle caregiver to yourself and give yourself the best. facing challenges that lead to rewards isn't just difficult, it's simply what you deserve for your devotion.
8. start implementing things you love into the hard things. don't like going on a walk? find something that you like about the place you go to. i personally pick flowers for my room. go visit a monument. go shopping. instead of feeling guilty about enjoying a non planned meal, allow urself to enjoy it by making an event out of it. go to a beautiful place, eat it & get something productive done. replace the guilt w/ productivity.
9. reflect on your progress after succeeding realize that the thing you dreaded doing has become a pleasant activity that you now look forward to. keep doing it. watch yourself become the person that you have always wanted to be.
10. research goes a long way. when studying a particular subject that isn't of your particular interest at the moment start reframing it as working on your own self concept and self mythology. knowledge is power. become interested by it, everything has value. and make the space you study in beautiful.

Less Envy More Contentment
Help others. Happy people are known to not only be content with their lives but to love improving the lives of others.
Love yourself. This is an important factor in how you can sustain the contentment in your life.
Try something completely new. Doing something completely new and out of your comfort zone will make you open up your mind and have a less rigid view of how confusing life is and lean more into being creative.
Enjoy failing. That's right. If you want to be content with your life, then you have to completely fail at something to learn and grow.
Hang out with people who are content with their lives.
Stock up on value for self. To eliminate the feelings of insecurity, stop focusing on what you think you do not have. And realize there's no competition in your world. You are unbelievably powerful and full of light already.
Stay independent. Sure, you may feel that your life is nothing without your partner but that does not mean that you should be overly dependent on them.
Have faith in your love as a couple. Do you think your guy was flirting with the girl at the restaurant yesterday? Maybe it happened, and perhaps it did not.
Find out why you are jealous. Statistics show that most people are jealous and insecure in their current relationships because of what they went through with their previous partners.
Never play games. Most jealous people will try to make themselves feel better by finding ways to make their partner jealous.
Identify When the Change Happened. The first step in getting back to happiness is to determine what really makes you happy in the first place.
Don’t Fake it. The next step is to not try to fake happiness. Fake it ‘til you make it is not real life. Let yourself respond authentically to each moment as it arrives, without bound to the narrative of who you think you are!
Take Responsibility If you’re unhappy, will you take responsibility for turning this around? I think taking responsibility is the most powerful attribute we can possess in life.
What’s Standing in Your Way? To discover your happiness and allow yourself to experience the full gamut of being human, you need to determine what is standing towards being your greatest self.
Be Kind to Yourself. As you carry on throughout this journey, you need to recognize the points in which you can be kind towards yourself.
In judging yourself, your life, your body, and your belongings as 'not as good as' or 'better than' (the only two verdicts in a comparison!), you limit yourself and your capability to appreciate change as life goes on. We grow as life changes. Our experiences shape us into a new person. Its beautiful ♥
Me & You.
