a glamorous well-being⋆.ೃ࿔*:・🌸
Tumblr media
i've decided to write this post to remind my audience that you're own well being comes first and just share some ways on how you can focus on ur well being in small steps that can gradually build a lifestyle.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
BEAUTY SLEEP ;
go to bed at a reasonable time and wake up at a reasonable time. when ur well rested you'll feel and look your best. theres a reason why ppl call beauty sleep beauty sleep.
when u dont get enough sleep ur skin is dull, you'll start to have eyebags beneath ur eyes and can even shorten ur life span. and thats not hot.
if u feel like it'll make u more well rested, take a midday nap. if u find that u have problems sleeping, having a before bed routine that soothes u can rly help u to sleep like the angel that you are.
drink a warm cup of tea before bed
do gentle stretches
take a soothing bath or shower
DIGITAL MINIMALISM ;
we experience the fear of missing out bcuz of our habit of consuming hundreds if not thousands of unnecessary information every single day. in a way we've become information addicts.
no scroll mornings - cutting a habit completely might be hard so dont jump in with both feet immediately. go little by little.
digital declutter - intentionally cut out optional online activity and instead focus on something in person like ur community, urself and ur projects
APPRECIATING SILENCE ;
if the weather permits, i rly recommend going for walks. walking is not only good for ur body but also ur mind and getting fresh air and sunlight is rly good for u and important.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
start doing guided meditations
go on daily walks to get some fresh air
JOURNALLING ;
journalling is so easy and fun and glamorous. i love the concept of journals bcuz its just such a cute way to get everything from ur mind onto paper which is helpful.
to journal with the intention of improving ur well being i recommend to get into shadow work cuz its like journal therapy. i'll link a post with shadow work prompts right here, that way you can have a place to kind of start off from.
other then simply doing shadow work journalling or maintaining a diary of sorts is also helpful for ur well being bcuz it showcases ur growth and its a great way to cultivate a sense of self without fear of judgement or privacy invasion from others.
TAKING BIG STEPS IN EASY WAYS ;
i think that the secret to overall wellness in the most glamorous way possible is a bunch of little habits that can contribute to an overall beautiful and glamorous inside and outside.
so focus on building habits before you make a huge lifestyle switch. not to confuse this with not being all in. you must be all in otherwise you'll fall back into unhealthy and old patterns for the sake of comfort.
but thats not hot, you can take baby steps while still being all in. commit to a more vibrant and more well self cuz you'll thank urself in the long run.

Don't try this unless you want to massively transform your life
1. Get an alter ego, give them a bad ass name
2. Make a blue print for who they are, how they dress, talk, think, act figure out what their life is like and their routine etc.
3.start acting like them everyday
4. When you have a choice to make ask yourself "what would X do?
5. Give it a month and look at how you've reinvented your life

Hey, you! This is your daily reminder to stay alive!
You have no idea how many people would miss you if you were gone.
That one online friend who reblogs your posts. That one barista who always remembers how to spell your name. The kind old lady who lives down the street. The neighbor's kid who always tries to play video games with you. Your childhood friends. Your current friends. The people you aren't friends with yet, but want to befriend.
I remember learning about the death of a classmate, and being struck with a sudden emptiness. How could someone I knew just be gone in a blink? Even though she probably never thought of me, I thought of her. I'm thinking of you.
So many people think of you, love you, would miss you.
I know.
I know, it's really hard, but let's get through this. Together. Let's be each other's people. Let's think about each other as we keep on fighting.
Because I promise you, we can recover. Together.
Stay safe. I love you platonically.
--Ellis

Why Am I This Way - Psychology Answers
Note: Another one <3 we are almost done with the How Am I section !!
“How Am I” Section
“Am I Really A Good Person?”
What happens in the unconscious brain: 
To start off, it's important that we understand that being wrong and right are social constructs and they will depend on your cultural background, on you ethnic and the way you were born and social class.
Now these feelings of being a good person, of caring from the social norms and looks come from childhood where the family plays an essential role on how we want to be cared for and loved.
In a dysfunctional family they usually have a closed system. For any interest in these topics you can always check the works that are based on little information and the resources are shared between the family members (communication isn't used often). In this cases (these families) communication tend to be rare and the rules of the family are usually strict and not just, working in the favor of the parent authority 
In contrary, in a functional family, the system us open and the information and the ressources shred is shared through communication between the family 
Basically in dysfunctional families the rules are not said. They learn in silence. In function, the parent actually verbalizes the good and the wrong.
back on the dysfunctional family, the communication is so fragile and limited that the little things that are said are usually harsh, violent and painful to the child (for example the child is make a mistake, the parent will proceed with accusatory screaming or physical abuse)
Because of this, the children who got raised in such an environment learn to mold themselves to reach security. They are always weary of their environment and they tend to read people to accommodate and adapt their behaviors. 
Basically they learn to recognize a bad action and a good acio based on their parents' punishments and because of that they tend to always please others or provoke a better reaction in their counterpart to avoid the violence.
These children (from dysfunctional families) can develop four types of communication patterns when evolving with other people. Those are: 
“Appeased” : they are people pleasers and they will put a lot of effort in for that to happen during arguments. To be a good person they use extreme generosity by neglecting themselves and their needs (because their parents have neglected them so much so why shouldn't they do the same?)
“Accuser”: A mirroying of narcissistic parenting/ defensive category. People like that will try to manipulate the situation and turn the tables to avoid being on the receiving pain end. They try to be a good person by using reverse psychology 
“Congruent”: the person is aware of their surroundings, they are aware of signals that can be potentially triggering. These types of people when arguments happen tend to use verbal and non verbal communication at the same type to smooth the situation and avoid being hit. more of a “fight” response to avoid panic and be a good person.
“Evasive”: they are usually people that often retreat in arguments. They will keep themselves shut because they have learnt that speaking will bring them more pain so they usually try to keep themselves shut and repress emotions in order to be the good person. some of them can also use humor as a mechanism 
Usually people that are always questioning their worth as a good people come mostly from a dysfunctional family weather neglect and violence were the main resource and where the people had to learn strategies to survive in that environment
if you are interested in more of these topics you can check the works of Virginia Satir and Karen Horney
So what can we do?
We cannot allow the limited perceptions of others define us
You need to understand that you have lost touch with your inner self in order to avoid conflict. the important here is to learn that arguments and conflicts are often necessary to solve the issues and they are important to communicate feelings and that one should not stop putting their fears first and take time to open up
now this is hard but with therapy and the right relationship, this gets easier and those behavioral patterns can be changed
There’s also the need to stop blaming yourself for everything and prioritize your happiness. 
Learn to say no, learn to stand for yourself and believe that you are worth more than what the dysfunctional family provided. you are worth love
and no, you're not a bad person you are just hurt
Now, you know where to work to become a better version of yourself

From Isolating to Connecting - How I Changed My Coping Skills
When people get stressed their coping mechanisms often make things worse. Some people turn to drugs, alcohol, or smoking. Others spend all day on social media. It is very important to have healthy coping mechanisms.
My coping mechanisms were not good. I noticed that they were making me worse. I used to spend all day on YouTube. I realized that i was not becoming the person i wanted to be
The first step in my journey was to identify my unhealthy coping mechanisms. I noticed that i would often turn to social media when i was feeling anxious or bored i would spend hours mindlessly scrolling through my feed comparing myself to others and feeling increasingly isolated.
I also realized that i would sometimes binge watch TV shows or movies as a way to escape from my problems. While this would provide temporary relief it would ultimately leave me feeling even more stressed and unproductive
Once i had identified my unhealthy coping mechanisms i could start to replace them with healthier ones. I began by setting limits on my social media use. I decided to only allow myself to use social media for a certain amount of time each day and i made sure to use it in a more mindful way
Then I started doing journaling a lot like a lot i use self discovery journal prompts to get know my self better and i started keeping myself busy to prevent any unnecessary thoughts that could lead me back to my unhealthy coping mechanisms. I realized the importance of continuous learning and trying new things in life so i began to explore various topics i was interested in. I set myself tasks gave myself deadlines and sought knowledge from the internet to avoid overloading my mind. I created a knowledge journal to organize the information i gathered. I started reading self help and poetry books as well as creating my own poetry. I began to learn about paintings, philosophy, literature, and how businesses work. I watched documentaries and listened to podcasts to fill in the knowledge gaps within me. Learning about the history of the world and many other things helped me avoid negative thoughts and instead filled me with knowledge. Now i look at life from a different perspective 🐚🪕🦢
It has been a journey but i am proud to say that i have come a long way in my quest to find healthy coping mechanisms. I am now better equipped to handle stress in a positive way and i am more confident in my ability to overcome challenges.
End note :
I know that i am not alone in my struggles and i hope that my story will inspire others to seek out healthy coping mechanisms. If you are struggling with unhealthy coping mechanisms please know that you are not alone. There are many resources available to help you and it is possible to find healthy ways to cope with stress
And just be Be patient with yourself. It takes time and effort to change.🪷🪞✨

dopamine detox challenge⋆.ೃ࿔*:・🍰
Tumblr media
the definition of a dopamine detox is fasting from activities or pleasures that produce dopamine so that the drive for quick rewards decreases.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
dopamine is naturally made by the brain. however, things like alcohol, caffeine, sugar, social media, video games, and substance use can sharply increase dopamine levels and lead to a type of addiction. and thats not hot ✨
BENEFITS OF THE DOPAMINE DETOX CHALLENGE ;
clarity
productivity
self awareness
self reflection
time management skills
self control
WHY DO A DOPAMINE DETOX ANYWAYS? ;
its true that dopamine produces pleasant sensations. when the body gets too much dopamine from different activities, it can start to require more and more dopamine to create those “good feelings”.
this can cause ur default mood levels to drop and in the long run leave you feeling worse and more unhappy over time.
SO WHATS THE CHALLENGE ;
step one - put a time limit on your phone or computer or whatever device that u find ur spending the most time on. put time limits on apps like tiktok, tumblr, instagram etc.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
theres no need to put time limits on apps like your camera roll, text messages, apps that u use for school etc.
step two - when u wake up in the morning, do NOT check ur phone first thing in the morning. in fact, dont even pick up ur phone until an hour after wake up time.
step three - step one and two were for doing dopamine detox on a regular basis (daily/weekly), but if u wanna do a longer dopamine detox (monthly) get off of social media for an agreed amount of time and once you've completed that dopamine fast REWARD yourself.
ofc thats more extreme, but you know whats best for you and you know what u need the most so thats all you ✨
step four - find another activity to do. pick up a hobby that u used to enjoy doing or pick up an entirely new hobby. find something else to do OTHER than using ur phone. check the things to do while on a dopamine detox post so you can gather some inspo.
doing a dopamine detox can help you to take control of your mind and ur habits and push you towards the next level of you. and it improves ur mental health in the long run ✨

Finish what you started and transform your productivity
Recently i picked up a book i hadn't read in a long time for the past week i hadn't been able to work properly my tasks were going unfinished so i opened my cupboard and saw that book right in front of me. Then i read the whole book in just a one night and it sparked inspiration in me ..So i thought why not share everything i learned with all of you?
So I'm giving you guys a structured summary of Finish The Art of Following Through - Taking Action, Executing & Self Discipline by Peter Hollins -
1. The Importance of Execution
The ability to follow through allows you to create the life you desire rather than settling for the one you currently have. The process consists of focus, self-discipline, action, and persistence
2. Barriers to Follow Through
- Inhibiting Tactics: These include setting bad goals, procrastination, succumbing to distractions, and poor time management.
- Psychological Roadblocks: These encompass laziness, fear of judgment or failure, perfectionism driven by insecurity, and lack of self-awareness.
3. Staying Motivated
To remain motivated holds both external and internal motivators -
- External Motivators: These involve utilizing other people or resources to encourage action, such as accountability partners upfront investments and self bribery
- Internal Motivators: These focus on understanding personal benefits and improvements. Ask yourself questions such as How will this benefit me? and How will my life improve?
4. Developing a Manifesto
A manifesto is a set of daily rules that guide your actions so her are the some key rules -
- Rule 1: Identify if you’re acting out of laziness and avoid it.
- Rule 2: Limit yourself to three major tasks per day.
- Rule 3: Establish daily limitations and requirements
- Rule 4: Reaffirm your intentions through statements like I want I , will and I won't
- Rule 5: Reflect on the future consequences of not following through
- Rule 6: Utilize the concept of "just 10 minutes" to push through discomfort.
5. Follow Through Mindsets
- Mindset 1: Recognize the worthiness of your efforts.
⭐ Mindset 2: Become comfortable with discomfort.
- Mindset 3: Understand that learning comes from completing tasks.
- Mindset 4: Manage stress and anxiety effectively
6. Overcoming Procrastination
Procrastination can be managed through strategies such as:
- Temptation Bundling: Combine unpleasant tasks with enjoyable activities.
- Creating Momentum: Make starting tasks as easy as possible to gain momentum.
- Leveraging Fear: Use productive paranoia to spur action but cautiously
7. Minimizing Distractions
Create a work environment free from distractions and focus on
⭐ Single Tasking: Avoid multitasking to eliminate attention residue ( I will also create a separate blog on this topic i used to face this problem earlier and i have used many methods to reduce my habit of multitasking so i will write a blog about it. Don't worry )
- Batching Tasks: Group similar tasks to improve efficiency.
- Creating a Don't-Do List : Identify tasks to ignore and avoid ( This method is literally too much helpful )
8. The 40–70 Rule
This rule suggests acting when you have 70% of the necessary information as waiting for 100% is unrealistic
9. The Importance of Rest
Recognize the value of rest and relaxation as essential for mental recovery
10. Common Pitfalls
- False Hope Syndrome: Avoid unrealistic expectations and set achievable goals.
- Overthinking: Avoid excessive rumination and focus on taking action.
- Worrying: Concentrate on the present and control what you can.
11. Developing Daily Systems
Establish daily behaviors that promote consistency and long term success
⭐ Keep a Scoreboard: Track progress for motivation ( Ive been using this method for the past four days it literally shows me where I am making mistakes and what I need to do to complete my unfinished tasks )
By following these structured advice you can improve your ability to finish what you start and achieve your goals
If you have any questions or tips to share feel free to drop them in the comments in here to chat , Stay connected for more tips and insights thanks :)

notes to self: existing delulu land edition
knowing yourself and your needs and accepting then instead of ignoring them or forcing yourself to change is the first step towards most of what you want. once you understand that, you can work around it, you can work with it.
your need is connections. human connections that are authentic and warm and present. you don't like people who are absent and those that are inconsistent in their communication. it makes you anxious and triggers your overthinking qualities. you want to feel secure in the connection you share with the person and presence, consistent communication, and actions aligning with words are the basics of that.
so you don't force yourself to not want connections. you just make sure your life is full of wholesome, fulfilling, beautiful ones. you pick the good ones and you say bye to the bad ones before they develop into sources of unnecessary agony and hurt. you realize how to limit the impact of a connection with someone and how to deal with disappointment.
feeling good about yourself and being at peace with yourself, at least a little bit, is what will help you have clarity about what you want in a relationship and in your life. because then you won't be using people and situations as maladpative coping mechanisms or a way to soothe your insecurities or fill holes instead of fix them.
what do you not feel good about right now? the lack of stability across most aspects of your life? you're working on it, I know. and it's hard, I know. but you have to continue. for yourself. and to also form the kind of connections that you seek the most with others in life.
you have to lower the volume of social media and all these cross connections. meme culture and reels and echo chambers that make you feel like being delulu is the only solulu and that everyone is depressed and everything is fucked and adulting is the worst. because the truth is that it may make you laugh and humour helps but subconsciously you start believing these narratives and then it becomes the normal. but when the fuck did it become okay to normalize feeling tired and sleepless all the time? girl dinner and sad boi hours? situationships and casual dating when such intimacy means something to you? if you were 19 maybe you could let all this be a part of your vocabulary and life. but at 26 when you're seeking a balanced, healthy, good life and future, you have to reduce your consumption of the internet content and really protect your brain.
