Yesterday I signed up in a gym, got my first personal training plan and worked out for like two hours.

Today's workout was even longer, I drove to the gym at 10:30 and headed home at 13:15 - I just had so much fun! 🏋🏻‍♀️

Today I'll have to attend a seminar on clinical psychology, and even though I'm excited there are some things I just don't want to think about, oof

I think we all would do better if we just followed our own advice, believed the things we tell our friends when we want to cheer them up because they are depressed

My plan for now 🍀

I decided I don't need to wait until the new year to finally work on myself, so here's my plan for a healthy mind and body:

get enough sleep - aim for 8h 😴

wake up not later than 8am on weekdays, 9am on the weekends

don't hit snooze, but wake up and think about three things you're looking forward to today/this week

actually eat breakfast, like porridge or fruit 🍎🍌

less coffee or energy drinks, more tea 🍵

drink at least 2 litres of water everyday 💧

eat a healthy lunch, maybe mealprep if you don't have much time 🥗

actually eat dinner, but not after 7pm 🌮

if you want to snack, make it healthy - you are what you eat!

try to avoid extra sugar, sweets etc. 🍬🍡

no fast food and the likes, with a max. of four times a month 🍔🚫

stay vegan ☺️🌱

plan your meals of the week in advance

don't weigh yourself during the week, if you want to, do so only weekly ⚖️

take your measurements every month 📏

go for a run once or twice a week 🏃‍♀️

dance practice twice a week 👯

go to the gym 3-4 times a week 🏋️

don't go more than 3 days without training

train every monday

find the perfect shower gel, perfume, body lotion that matches

skincare routine!

try out new outfits that you feel confident in 👗👙

take pictures when you feel good 📸

try new hairstyles etc

meet with friends once or twice a week, (plus dance practice where you meet everyone anyway)

read more, and learn something new every day 📚

appreciate what you have, and try to overthink less, even though it's hard

understand that you are a great person on your own, and are not dependent on others to know your worth

write in your journal semi-regularly 📖✏️

I'll add more when something else crosses my mind :)

What's this blog gonna be about?

See, I'm a psychology student (studying to become a teacher one day), and to be honest I first started to be interested in psychology in my early teens because of my own history of mental health issues (got diagnosed with depression when I was seventeen, after a year of self harm, but decided to end the therapy sessions before they even began).

And even though I managed to tackle many of the issues I had (stopped cutting and burning myself, worked on being more sociable etc.) I noticed that just accepted some pretty unhealthy aspects of my everyday life, like the way I didn't eat a meal without overthinking or feeling guilty in about four or five years, or how I still think so self-depreciatingly and won't stand up for myself till now.

I just don't want to accept that anymore. I want to live a healthy life, with both a healthy mind and body, and that's what I'll be writing about here :)
