PAC:Takeaway advice for you-

(Pile 1-6 from left to right)

Pile 1

Look for good in the current situation sustain. Journal your thoughts, plan and organise. Read what you wrote/typed.

Stop stressing over shitty people.

Be proud of how you’ve been handling these past months. The silent battles that you’ve fought, the moments that you had to humble yourself, wiped your own tears and pat yourself on the back. Celebrate your strength!

Rest and revitalise yourself with what makes you feel at ease.

Go out even as simple as for a walk or just look out the window and feel the air.

Surround yourself with joyful friends who lift your spirits not weigh you down and drown your energy.

Read, educate yourself and travel.

Seek help from whoever you consider your mentor and for some spending time with your dad will be beneficial.

You’re your own therapist, so sit with yourself, reflect how far you’ve come, appreciate yourself instead of keeping your criticism soar high.

Even listening to tarot, psycho analysis and astrological videos or reading articles related to them will be therapeutic for you.

Stay hopeful please, you got this!!

Pile 2

Be open to exploring new relationships.

Feel the little changes happening in your life and don’t let your inner critique block them. For these changes look Iife transforming.

Don’t let past traumas block your present. Loosen up, flow and ride the waves which universe is giving you the chance on.

Explore the unknown, the unexpected awaits you. Meditate in the moon energy. Consume full moon water if you can.

It’s ok to take help, reach out to people who you think can help you and if someone offers you help then don’t forget to take it.

Don’t give up, keep up with the hard work, it is soon going to pay off.

Don’t let past events turn you bitter. Work on trust issues and don’t view everyone with old rotten glasses. Save money (your energy), buy (many options to choose from) and wear a new pair of glasses (bond with new energies).

You do not want to face the truth. It’s ok to go through bad experiences but don’t sulk instead learn the lesson and go ahead with the wiser you.

Walk barefoot on the ground for sometime, ground your emotions, hydrate yourself often and channel your pain out through some creative talent like art, journal, Sound recording or well anything you consider creative.

You are a therapeutic being, a healer and your arts help people on many levels. They appreciate what you do even if they can’t express it so continue to do so. Many people need you but don’t forget to take care of yourself too.

Focus on the step in front of you, not the whole staircase.

Sometimes you have to make a decision that will break your heart but will give peace to your mind.

It’s not the load that weighs you down but the way you carry it.

Never spend your time in proving someone that you’re great, your actions will speak for themselves and we only have limited time on this earth so don’t waste it.

Always be the best person you can be. Be kind even when you’re tired, be understating even when you’re angry. Do more than you’re asked and don’t ask for anything in return. Don’t expect even in silence.

Listen and I mean really listen without thinking what you’ll reply to them.

Pile 5

Visualise the life, career or love you desire and it will help you in easy manifestation of it.

Take a break and get in tune with life and nature.

Meditate, contemplate and find out what is blocking you from feeling the sense of completeness or the feeling of being whole.

Help others with open and joyful heart. Nurture others but also yourself. Don’t hide your pains and emotions. Feel it and let it out in tears or laughters. Let it hurry until it doesn’t.

Work on aligning all your chakras by listening to frequencies or envision different chakra colours glowing and healing the respective chakras.

Drink water now and keep yourself hydrated always to let all your emotions flowing. It has so many benefits!!! Hydrate often.

Listen and take advice from your mom and dad. Their wisdom will help you.

It’s never too late or too early in any case or whoever you want to be.

You have the choice to change or stay the same, there are no rules. Be whoever you want to be.

STOP COMPARING YOURSELF TO OTHERS online or real life. They had a different life and you had a different life. You can’t be them and they can’t be you. Their life purpose is different and yours is different.

A painful truth is always better than hidden lies.

Pile 6

Don’t make any decision when you are heartbroken, betrayed or lied to. Wait for your heart and spirit to mend to assess the situation with a clear head.

Heal your relationship with your father.

Sunlight bath.

Your yang or masculine energy is out of balance so work with it by taking decisions for yourself,which are more logical and be practical. Stay firm on the decisions you take. Be assertive with what you want. Work on staying optimistic and keep your emotions in check.

Get in touch with your emotions, let go of the fear of failure or unnecessarily defend yourself. STOP EXPLAINING YOURSELF! Take accountability of your actions.

Practice no judgement policy for awhile.

Stop procrastinating, stay present.

Work with whatever opportunity you have then further create your own opportunities. Don’t wait for the best option, all your have is now and what you can you can do with it.

Find ways to bring calm and focus on your mind or your troubles will only increase.

Get out and spend some time in nature.

Build a fitness routine and let the sweat out.

Week 3 - #100DayReinvention Progress log ୨୧

Original challenge by @dreamdolldiary

Hello girlies! Welcome to the third log of this challenge. I will be honest with you, this week wasn't what I expected and I had a low mood and energy throughout the week, mainly because my boyfriend broke up with me, but it was for the best and it triggered some questions and realizations in me. But, did I lost my motivation? No, I didn't and I won't. I know good things are meant for me and I will keep going and I think this helped me realize I am aiming for a greater version of me.

𝐈. My weekly progress

Health: Did pilates twice this week, I maintained a healthy diet but I was either eating too much or not enough. I slept at either 11pm or 12am and my skin got worse by picking my face because I felt anxious.

Academic: started reading business and fashion articles, got 100/100 in Complex Thinking's test, began taking notes of videos and podcast

Adulting: drove on monday, still looking for a job and with no money

Hobby: wrote 3 quick blogs during the week, only read once in all the week and I still struggle with the backflip

Social: played with my dog twice, hanged out with my girl friends in a cute cafe

Healing: did my healing exercises twice: journaling my emotions / thoughts, positive affirmations and longer yoga and meditation sessions. Need to be more consistent with my daily practice: yoga and meditation, affirmations, praying. Also, I want to start focusing on healing my insecurities

Style: tried smokey eye makeup, tried to practice hairstyles but I failed

𝐈𝐈. I need to work on

Read more! This was something I struggled last week because I already read the books I had, so I will look for pdfs. Also, I want to get more serious with my Italian learning journey. I will try to sleep at 10pm again and to meditate and do yoga at the beggining and end fo my day (for a calm mind)

I am still struggling with my main goals which are: drive without help, improve my cheer skills and get a job.

𝐈𝐈𝐈. Next week I will focus on

This week I will focus on regaining a good mood and the good habits I lost during last week. Besides focusing on the goals that I haven't made that much of a progress I will focus on researching about topics that if I apply will improve my life (feminine energy, soft productivity, how to be magnetic, manifestation) and too look on a makeup style and hairstyles that suit me.

See you next week, girlies! 𑄽𑄺ྀ

Also, not related or anything but I am happy that I can sleep in my room again (I didn't had air conditioner) and I watched lots of cute vlogs this week!

GLOW UP QUIDE 𖹭⠀࣭⠀ֹ⠀͡꒱

I. THE INNER ME

— When you think of the word "glow up" , your mind automatically thinks of changing your appearence, right? For me the beauty is in our soul. If you think nasty and degrading thoughts of yourself that can be damaging in so many ways.

let's get some things clear here:

First of all, beauty standards always change, as trends come and go, and you will never be enough "pretty" for someone; because beauty is subjective and you might be the dream person for someone and for someone not. which is ok! there are so many beautiful flowers. i personally perfer tulips and peonies, but someone might prefer roses or sunflowers. that doesn't make a flower less beautiful because every flower is beautiful in it's own way.

— do you know yourself? we spend so much time trying to know others, but do we even know ourselves? go on pinterest and find some questions to ask yourself. here are some:

1. what qualities do i like about myself?

2. what qualities of others do i admire?

3. what am i scared of?

4. what would i like my mornings to look like?

5. who inspires me?

if someone asks me any of these questions i would answer them all in a second, because i know myself.

— SHADOW WORK. Grab a pen and a journal, go on pinterest and search "shadow work prompts". I Personally, don't know much about this subject, but i know it's talked about by many people i look up to. It helped them heal from trauma.

some videos i suggest you watch that helped me so much in changing my mindset:

why you'll never be pretty enough - zoe unlimited.

you don't need to glow up, our obssesion with glow up culture needs to STOP.

tiktok is DESTROYING YOUR IDENTITY.

what type of pretty you are.

— I suggest watching every commentary video of zoeunlimited. Her videos changed my views on various topics.

II. THERE IS NOTHING TO CHANGE

— you are perfect just the way you are. embrace yourself. there is only one you in this world. many women look the same to me these days and it's a tiring and sad thing. Everyone is following the standard that is going to probably change in a month. As Hwasa said "I am my own beauty standard" and thank you Hwasa for that!

Embrace your features, look for makeup that suits your face shape and eyes. I know that eyeliner doesn't work with my eyes so i don't apply it. I also know that a lot of bronzer doesn't suit me.

Wear whatever you like and don't be afraid to express yourself.

When it comes to exercising, ALWAYS DO IT FOR YOURSELF. Think of it as: "My body deserves to be healthy"

strech when you wake up, do yoga, workout or go for a walk/run. whatever you like!

eat healthy but don't pressure yourself too much. have it balanced. you can eat a healthy meal but that doesn't mean you can't eat a cake. BALANCE IS EVERYTHING.

my favorite fitness youtubers:

lily sabri

yoga with bird

mady morrison

emi wong

III. KNOWLEDGE IS POWER

— if you follow my posts you know how much i respect and talk about education and it's importance. As my favorite saying goes "BEAUTY IS DANGEROUS, BUT INTELLIGENCE IS LETHAL." I stand by this!!!! READ BOOKS, FOCUS ON YOUR STUDYING, WRITE, PAINT, LEARN A NEW LANGUAGE AND DRAW.

here are some book suggestions:

i who have never known men

the great gatsby

the prophet

my body

the art of war

search some famous musicians or artists and get to know their work. i seriously find this so attractive.

watch documentaries.

watch news, read articles and just generally know what is happening in the world.

get to know your country's history.

watch some iconic movies.

beauty fades, but knowledge always stays.

that's it! if you have some questions send me an ask ♡

with love, t

tips on how to change to a better person and be a new person both physically and mentally. i want to transform into a new person within a few months but don’t know how or where to start

Hi love! While everyone's lifestyles and goals are different, here are some general tips that can only make your quality of life better:

Eat A Predominately Whole Foods, Plant-Based Diet: Unprocessed non-animal foods like fruits and vegetables, whole grains, plant proteins (peas, beans, edamame, etc.), nuts and seeds, root vegetables, and healthy whole fats (like avocado) should make up around 80% of your diet. Stick to water, black coffee, and tea either plain or with lemon, too to avoid unnecessary sugars.

Get In Your Steps & Gentle Movement: Try to average around 7-10K steps a day to feel the benefits of walking. Incorporate a light strength training exercise (pilates, yoga, a YouTube body weight or free weight workout, etc.) into your routine 2-3 times a week for around 15 minutes each.

Read Daily: Commit to 10 pages of book reading and 30 minutes of article reading at different times of the day to learn, stay updated on the world and strengthen your cognitive function/ability to focus.

Take Time To Self-Reflect: Journal for at least 10 minutes a day. Either practice morning pages (free writing 3 pages in the morning) or choose a prompt or two from a therapist, shadow work journal, and a blog post. See my latest Femme Fatale journal prompts to reset for 2023 in this private membership post.

Carefully Curate Your Circle of Influence: Be mindful of who you spend time with, what topics you discuss, and what information you share with each of these members of your inner circle. You're always allowed to set boundaries around who you want to speak to outside of work (and children who are minors, of course, if you have them) and what information you want to disclose with them. Protect your peace at all costs.

Set Intentional Goals: Create well-defined goals with a clear action plan in the major areas of life (career, finances, health, relationships, personal development). Consistency, not intensity, is essential for goal achievement. So, make sure to do little tasks each day or week to ultimately achieve your desired results.

Keep Track of Your Tasks: Have a to-do list for professional tasks, items to buy for the house, errands to do, grocery lists, appointments to schedule, bill due dates, invoicing timelines, etc. Keep track of these items on your Notes App, Reminders, or within Google Calendar/Keep – depending on how time-sensitive a task might be.

Make Time For Self-Care: Block out an hour or so of your day to purely focus on yourself. This ritual can include your daily non-negotiables like a shower, skincare, reading, journaling, etc., and can include other indulgent activities like a face mask, exfoliating, doing your nails, watching your favorite TV show, etc. Prioritize yourself.

Create An "I Love" List: Stealing this tip from Jessica Garner (sex educator on TikTok) because I love it so much. Whenever you find an activity, meal, experience, song, item of clothing, etc, add it to your "I Love" list (on your notes app, etc.) to remind yourself of the things in life that bring you joy. This list can serve as a source of inspiration when you're feeling down and give you a built-in list of ideas to lift your spirits in some type of way on your more depressing or stressful days.

See the rest of my best habit ideas to implement for 2023 HERE.

Hope this helps xx

It Girls Ramadan Guide

Hey babesss I am soooo excited Ramadan officially starts this week and I wanted to post a Ramadan guide for my fellow Muslim girliesss if you aren’t Muslim but are participating in Ramadan this is a good guide for you as well.

Setting Intentions

♡ Before Ramadan starts set your intentions. What do you want to improve on this Ramadan? What charities do you want to donate to? Even if you aren’t able to reach all the goals you set Allah rewards us based on our genuine intentions.

♡ Journaling. I highly recommend journaling your intentions and your experience this Ramadan. Keep track of your mood, as well as your Quran readings, and prayers. I will link a Quran Journal as well as a 30-Day Ramadan Journal Ramadan Legacy Planner.

♡ Vision Board. I’ve seen some girls online recommend creating a Ramadan vision board and I agree! Create a vision board using Canva and Pinterest, or you can use a poster board and magazine. This will help you see your goals not just read them. Place your vision board where you can see it so you're reminded of your goals daily.

Nutrition

Suhoor

♡ Eat a balanced suhoor meal. Eat a meal high in protein, protein takes a while to be broken down so it’ll help you at the beginning of the day. Eat carbs and fats you will need as much energy as the average hours we fast during Ramadan are 12 to 18 hours depending on where you are.

♡ Drink water. One of the things I struggle with every Ramadan is my water intake. Try to drink at least two 16oz bottles of water during Suhoor. Hydration is super important you don't want to pass out due to severe dehydration.

♡ Drink electrolytes. Drinking electrolytes is very beneficial before fasting they help your body retain water while you are fasting. Do not overdo your electrolyte intake because too much sodium is bad.

Iftar

♡ Do not overdo it. I know going a long period without food can make you want to eat everything in sight but it is important to eat a well-balanced nutritious meal after fasting. When you overeat this may cause indigestion and other stomach issues.

♡ Avoid eating too much fried, salty, and high-sugar foods. Moderation is key I know during Ramadan my mom makes all of our favorite Ghanaian dishes and they aren't the most healthy options. That doesn't mean you shouldn't eat them or avoid them you can eat them but in moderation. Eating too much of these foods in the moment may feel good because they cause us to release feel-good hormones like dopamine and serotonin but they can make fasting the next day very difficult.

♡ Eat whole foods. The best food to break your fast with is fruit! Specifically, a date to begin with and then other fruits like pineapple, watermelon, oranges, strawberries, mango, and other fruits you like. I would recommend you eat more water-based fruits to hydrate your body.

♡ Drink water. I mention this twice because it is very important that after you break your fast you drink water make it a goal of yours to have six to eight glasses of water daily.

Movement

♡ Create a Ramadan workout plan. I know a lot of us girliesss are on weight loss journeys and we want to be snatched before the summer but we also don't want to stress out our bodies while fasting and exerting needed energy. Create a workout plan that starts low and goes slow. Limit intense cardio, and train at a lower intensity, if you lift try to lift heavy before suhoor which means you’ll need to wake up earlier. If you prefer to workout after Iftar break your fast with something light so that your stomach won’t feel so heavy when you workout.

♡ Walking. I recommend getting in sedentary movement throughout the day, so instead of taking the bus walk if where you're going isn't that far. Walking is beneficial for so many reasons I’ll link this article.

♡ Yoga and Pilates. I love both of these exercises they are perfect for my girlies who are fasting. Pilates especially is perfect it is very low and slow in movements but still gives you amazing results. Yoga is perfect for relaxing especially if you deal with anxiety, sore muscles, back problems, and trouble sleeping I recommend trying yoga.

Increase Your Iman

♡ Prioritize Prayer. Make sure to pray all five of your daily prayers and do them on time try your best to not delay your prayers unless you have to.

♡ Read Quran. Some of you might be hafiz of the Quran and I know it is common for hafiz to try and finish the Quran from start to finish during Ramadan so maybe you can make that a goal if you are a hafiz. For my girlies who are like me and haven’t finished the Quran but Insha Allah we will! I recommend trying to read at least 10 verses of the Quran daily that's better than not reading it at all.

♡ Watch Islamic Lectures. I recommend spending your time online watching Islamic lectures like Omar Suleiman, Mohammed Hoblos, Mufti Menk, Dr. Sh. Haifa Younis, Akhi Ayman (he is perfect for younger men), and many other amazing lecturers. My favorites are Omar Suleiman and Mufti Menk they explain Islam in such a beautiful way and spread the message perfectly.

♡ Charity. This month is the best month to give to those in need. You can donate to many organizations, and help send aid to Gaza/Congo/Sudan, create a fundraiser for your local masjid in need, feed another fasting person, help prepare Iftar at home, and so much more. Charity not only blesses us with good deeds but there have been studies proving random acts of kindness are good for our mental health we produce dopamine when we donate or help others.

♡ Pray Tahajjud. I swearrrr if you have anything you desire in this life this is the best prayer you need to pray! Allah is closest to the earth during the last third of the night and he is there to listen to our dua’s and repentance. You can only pray Tahajjuud after you sleep. Tahajjud is hard to catch because it involves having to leave our sleep for the sake of Allah. One Mallam explained Tahajjud so beautifully he said “Tahajjud is like a personal invitation from Allah Not everyone can get in most people are asleep during that time.” If you have anything you want badly pray Tahajjud for it, especially during this holy month. So try your best to wake up an hour or two before the fajr prayer and pray Tahajjuud I will link a video on the benefits and how to pray Tahajjud for those who don’t know how.

These are a few tips for my girliesss I hope Ramadan is a blessed month for all of us! Thank you for all the support babes! we are getting close to 500 followers!!!

HABITS TO IMPLEMENT IN THE MORNINGS

Hi girls! As a PCOS girly (let me know if you want a post on PCOS 💕), I know how important it is to have healthy morning habits. Mornings influence how your whole day goes, capitalizing on it is the easiest way to start a smooth day!

1. NOT GOING ON UR PHONE RIGHT AWAY

I know how easy it is to fall to temptation and open your phone, but this is one of the worst things you can do to your brain first thing in the morning. Watching a screen first thing in the morning triggers a hormone called cortisol, which spikes your fight or flight. Allow you body 15-20 minutes to adjust before checking your electronic devices.

2. JOURNALING

Something I want to start doing is morning journaling. I don’t know if this is simply for me, but I feel as though my thoughts are fresher as I wake up. Writing down what I’m grateful for puts me in a good mood from the get-go.

3. DOING MY BED

Now I say this, but 90% of the time, I forget to do it 😅.. However, 2024 is the time to implement good habits!! Doing your bed shows discipline in scheduling and gives you a sense of control in the beginning of the day. It is a simply task that shows responsibility and cleanliness.

4. DOING MY MORNING SKINCARE AND HYGIENE ROUTINE

I saw an article that says that brushing your teeth after you eat isn’t good because of all the acid, so I try to brush my teeth before eating. I also give myself some time between brushing my teeth and breakfast so I don’t have that minty breath as I eat.

When it comes to skin care, I try to keep it simple as the more products you use, the less healthy your skin becomes. Here’s what I do (I can post a more in-depth routine if you want 😊):

1. Daily facial cleanser

2. Moisturizer mist

3. Boosting serum

4. SPF

5. Water sleeping mask

6. Under-eye cream

7. Lip repair cream

5. DOING MORNING YOGA

Once again, as PCOS girl, getting my cortisol levels as low as possible is my priority in the morning. Doing yoga reminds my body and hormones to relax and that I am safe. It is also an easy way to get your body moving in the mornings!! I highly encourage starting yoga or somatic exercises :)

6. EATING A BALANCED BREAKFAST

Everyone’s lifestyle looks different, so I’m not here to tell you what to eat/not to eat. You know your body, so fuel it accordingly!! Personally, I enjoy having eggs with cheese paired with either potatoes, oatmeal or yogurt. I’m not huge on fruits unfortunately so I try to get my needed vitamins in gummies or during the summer time, I’ll indulge in mangoes, pineapple and strawberries. I also love applesauces and pastries, but it’s all in moderation. Because of my PCOS, I equally need to watch my insulin levels, but I’m still sure to ALWAYS enjoy my food and indulge in whatever I want to eat. Restrictions do nothing positive and eating what you love is no crime.

so much love,

a girl unfiltered 💋

I have moved this here to hopefully funnel notifs away from the OP that inspired me to write this, to respect their boundaries.

So here's the thing - the issue that we take with weight loss is not an individual choosing to lose weight, if they're able. The issue we take is it being treated as a choice. For the vast majority of fat people, losing or gaining weight is not a decision we can make, much like I can't make the decision to not have panic attacks, or to not grow facial hair. The act of someone choosing to attempt weight loss is not an indicator that they hate fat people, it's an indicator that they hate fatness. And unfortunately, fat people have fatness.

The issue isn't a black and white one. We understand that for a small subsection of people, weight loss is possible. But we - and I, especially, on a personal level - want people to question where their distaste for fatness comes from. The diet industry is a multi-billion dollar industry, and it funds many nutrition studies. (The 2018 Journal of Nutrition, for example, had 30% of its articles backed by the food industry - see here.) These things absolutely lend bias in research, and that bias makes its way to you, the reader (general you, which I will use for the rest of my reply).

We are able to recognize that the makeup industry affects the way people feel about healthy skin (no acne, blemishes, or large pores on healthy skin, people think, despite this being absurd), and that Hollywood affects the way that people view their bodies (think gym bros believing that being able to see ab definition is healthy, despite it being a sign of intense dehydration and a lack of abdominal fat to cushion organs and prevent hernia). Fat activists like myself want to draw attention to how the diet industry absolutely skews what we think of as healthy - no carbs, no fats, no sugars, etc. All of these things are touted as bad by someone, but these things are absolutely necessary macronutrients, at much higher levels than we are told to consume them.

The things we consider healthy are also affected by the FDA (they knowingly rounded down the required daily caloric intake of the average person from 2350 calories to 2000, despite 2350 calories being less than the average daily energy expenditure for EITHER gender based on DLW testing - link is to an excerpt from Neschiem and Nestle's (no relation) book that explains this in more detail), who have food industry reps on their advisory committees. None of these things are impartial. None of them are solely about our health.

All this to say - yes, there is correlation between certain illnesses and fatness, but there is also a correlation between fatness and poverty. And abuse. And traumatic events. And childbirth. And many, many other conditions, all of which are affected by the same root cause - cortisol disturbance. Stressors cause the body to gain weight. And when your cortisol system is knocked off course, it is nearly impossible to right it, even if you properly manage any condition that might have caused the issue in the first place.

It is always your right to exercise bodily autonomy. What we take exception to is the implication that us existing in our bodies is a risk we are taking on, and not just how we are. Yes, there are exceptions, yes there are people that could lose weight, yes there are unhealthy fat people, but the existence of unhealthy fat people cannot and should not be used as a gotcha, nor as a standard to hold all of us to. There are unhealthy thin people. My sister is 100lbs and she eats worse and lives a more sedentary life than I do - I'm double her weight and several inches shorter. But I have reproductive health issues and PTSD and all MANNER of other issues that contribute to my fatness. Disability aside, I am far healthier than she is. My vitals, diet, and bloodwork come back flawless every time they're drawn (and they are. regularly.). Fatness is not an indicator of health, weight loss is not a choice for the vast majority of fat people, and implying that it is (or that being fat is a "risk" that we are taking) is fatphobia, no matter how you may feel about fat people consciously.

(And while I'm on my soapbox - please don't use the term obese. The term is connected to the BMI index, which has been disproven as faulty science based in racist standards. It's a microaggression. "Fat" is just fine, it's not a dirty word, and it's preferred by every fat person I've ever spoken to in my career.

I also personally take issue with dieting and weight loss because the preoccupation with calorie counting and obsessing over macros when you are not in a medical state to need it is indicative of eating disorders. These ones are just backed by doctors that, yes, are acting through faulty science because fatphobia is as baked into the medical field as it is the food industry.)

In today's fast-paced world, prioritizing our health and wellness is more important than ever. With the constant demands of work, family, and other responsibilities, it's easy to let self-care fall by the wayside. However, nurturing our well-being is essential for leading a fulfilling and balanced life. In this article, we'll explore some practical tips and strategies for nourishing your wellness journey.

Mindful Eating: One of the cornerstones of good health is proper nutrition. Instead of mindlessly consuming whatever is convenient, take the time to nourish your body with wholesome, nutritious foods. Incorporate plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins into your diet. Practice mindful eating by savoring each bite, paying attention to hunger and fullness cues, and avoiding distractions like screens or work during meals.

Regular Exercise: Physical activity is not only beneficial for our physical health but also plays a significant role in our mental and emotional well-being. Find activities that you enjoy and make them a regular part of your routine. Whether it's yoga, jogging, dancing, or swimming, aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise most days of the week. Not only will exercise help you maintain a healthy weight and strengthen your body, but it can also reduce stress, boost your mood, and improve sleep quality.

Prioritize Sleep: Adequate sleep is essential for overall health and well-being. Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night to allow your body and mind to recharge. Create a relaxing bedtime routine to signal to your body that it's time to wind down. This may include activities like reading, taking a warm bath, or practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing or meditation. Limit exposure to screens and electronic devices before bedtime, as the blue light emitted can interfere with your ability to fall asleep.

Stress Management: Chronic stress can have a detrimental impact on both physical and mental health. Incorporate stress-reducing activities into your daily life to promote relaxation and resilience. This may include mindfulness meditation, yoga, tai chi, spending time in nature, or engaging in hobbies that bring you joy. Learn to recognize signs of stress in your body and mind, and develop healthy coping mechanisms to manage it effectively.

Cultivate Social Connections: Human beings are social creatures, and strong social connections are vital for our well-being. Make time for meaningful interactions with friends, family, and loved ones. Nurture relationships that uplift and support you, and don't hesitate to reach out for help or companionship when needed. Connecting with others can provide a sense of belonging, reduce feelings of loneliness, and contribute to overall happiness and fulfillment.

Practice Gratitude: Cultivating an attitude of gratitude can significantly impact your outlook on life and overall sense of well-being. Take time each day to reflect on the things you're thankful for, whether it's small moments of joy, supportive relationships, or personal achievements. Keep a gratitude journal or simply make a mental note of what you appreciate in your life. Focusing on the positive can help shift your perspective, reduce stress, and foster a greater sense of happiness and contentment.

Remember, prioritizing your health and wellness is not selfish—it's an essential investment in yourself that enables you to show up fully in all areas of your life. By incorporating these practices into your daily routine, you can nourish your wellness journey and cultivate a life of vitality, balance, and fulfillment.

Note

I hope one day you actually educate yourself and are able to go into a deeper breath of the problems at hand. Really sick of the blogs or people on the internet where it's clear that they did not do any research and are just pirating familiar viewpoints that they picked up from the same people who are self-masbutory pseudo intellectuals who feel intelligent for repeating bare bones statements and their audience feels intelligent for repeating bare bones statements. I mean the fact your blog is themed around spreading misinformation and harmful stuff about fat people and to fat people was enough and then I got to your posts complaining about people tearing down monuments and that was like the nail on the coffin. LMFAOO. Please grow and change as a person 🙏 fuck off until then! Blogs like this and people like you is why eating disorders are a thing. You people claim to care about mental health but are doing things that make people mentally ill in a thousand ways and mental illness kills people on the daily. Maybe, just maybe, fat people aren't mentally ill because they are fat, they aren't insecure because they are fat, but because people like you exist. And maybe try to go to verifiable sources for your information, not random right Wingers on the internet or articles with clear bad bias towards fat people. You're on the wrong side being fatphobic. Ever heard of a fascist who was pro fat people? No? I wonder why 🤔

Wow alot to unpack here.

All the information I have you can find online in the .gov or either public research medical studies that you can read. Such as

Any people who have done the research and testing can be found there.

This has nothing to do with the "right wingers". Just because you don't agree with it doesn't mean that there wasn't researched done on it Hun. They are also credible.

As for mental health well that's still new in regards to research. Last I checked only 5 dos volumes have been made. You see it takes time to figure out what the heck is going on with the human body let alone the brain. As we keep on living there is an adaptation process as well. Not to mention environmental/social changes that cause different outcomes to how humans react. Heck depression wasn't even a thought until recent. There are just too many factors to what could be causing mental disorders, and it's not just because someone's feelings were hurt. At the end of the day they are just words on here, so why get triggered? Unless it was something that happened in the past, and from there you just do deduction. I literally have had to do that myself. I figured out that I have suppressed certain things that have happened in the past, and reasons as to why it caused panic attacks or binge eating. There isn't a pill to make that disappear unless you actually have a chemical malfunction in the brain, and those cases aren't as common as once thought. 🤷🏻‍♀️ You have to do the work on yourself and use exercises to help with the process, and it's not a short period of doing this but years possibly.

As for the tearing down monuments blog I did. The full article shortened, was me stating that since we are getting rid of certain parts of history we are doomed to repeat. That's a saying for a reason, and hurt feelings isn't going to change what happened in the past.

Fascism has nothing to do with the health problems that people are facing due to unhealthy eating and living. It's hard work to not take shortcuts for health. I'm not saying that I haven't fallen into it, because I have and am still trying to get healthy before it becomes irreversible. Once your health goes down it goes down fast. There have already been a couple pro fat activists that have either changed their livelihood or just straight up die. Being fat is not sustainable, and comes with more cons than pros.

Facts have been served to your wishy washy anon comment/question.

Witchifying Your Work

I have to take a moment to be honest right now. I'm lucky in this regard because I work from home. In fact, I'm writing this in between work tasks. Don't tell my managers! But I'm sitting here at my desk, with a Pumpkin Bonfire candle going, surrounded by charm bags, stones and crystals, incense, and a big ol' pentacle hanging from the edge of one of my monitors. (Thanks Estelle!) On a whim, I could go make a nice herbal tea or pet the kitty who would be my familiar if I asked her. I'm surrounded by bookcases covered in witchy books, tarot decks, oracle decks, and owl plushies. I have a beautiful, snowy, moonlit deer background on both of my monitors to remind me of the season. I know that I'm fortunate, and I don't take it for granted. But what do you do if you don't work from home? I did that for a long time, too, and I learned some tips and tricks that might help you. We'll start with the most obvious. - Carry stones in your pocket, in your bra, or in your bag. If you want to take this a step further, you can make a pouch filled with work-assisting stones and herbs and carry that with you instead. Take a moment to hold them when you need to. - Create an essential oil blend that will substitute as a perfume and wear that into the office. Reapply as often as you feel like you need it, as a little magickal pick-me-up. - Draw a tarot card, or use some other form of divination every morning before work. This can help you see what kind of day you'll have, as well as give you a focus for where you need to put your mental energy. - Can you listen to music at work? Create a playlist of sacred songs that bring you immediately to your spiritual place, and pop your ear buds in when you need a break. (Don't do this if you're operating heavy machinery!) - Pray or meditate in the restroom for 5 minutes. Even a short break to ground and center can help you face the rest of your day. Carry a picture of your deity in your wallet for a quick devotional moment of prayer at your desk. - Eat something healthy and delicious for your lunch period, and focus on your personal wellness and happiness. - Find coworkers of a like mind and make some friends. Don't let people who are filled with negativity and blame into your circle. They'd probably feel uncomfortable there anyways. - Create a rhyme that will help you ground and center, cast off negativity, or calm yourself, depending on what sorts of problems your job brings you. For example, I can get crazy during my day, so a rhyme to calm myself amidst the chaos is really helpful! - Bring a journal and jot down positive things that happen in your day so you can focus on them. - Unless you really love, love, LOVE your job, leave it at work when you go home for the day. Do a quick cleansing ritual when you get home every day to slough off the frustrations of the day.

Some good stones for work are:

- Anything grounding that will keep you on the right path, like moss agate, dendritic agate, petrified wood. - Black sapphire helps you retain a job. - Black tourmaline to soak up any negativity from coworkers. - Fluorite helps you be creative and think clearly, and also may help your computer work better. - Malachite to alleviate electromagnetic pollution you might find at your workplace. - Smoky quartz also helps reduce electromagnetic pollution and also negativity, so you get a double whammy there!

Some good herbs and essential oils for work are:

- Lavender for stress relief if needed. - Peppermint for energy. - Rosemary for focus and rememberance. - Ylang ylang can help you find a job, and can help you seem irresistible during an interview. These are just some ideas, but I know I've missed quite a few. What do you do to decompress during work hours, and bring spirituality back into your day? Read the full article

my first post on this personal blog

on being ridiculously skinny — I’m not proud of it

All I want to do is gain weight

Disclaimer: This post was initially published on my Medium account under the "Bitchy" publication, and received hundred readers per week. Given that this is my personal journaling blog, I wanted to share it here as well. You can find the original post here.

(image by me)

Toxic body positivity doesn’t only apply to those who are overweight; I’ve experienced it too — an underweight individual.

People would tell me, “You should be grateful for God’s gift,” or “Being thin is a favor,” or even claim, “All women want a body like yours.”

But at the same time, I also received tons of, “Whoa, you look like you haven’t eaten in months,” or “You are thinner than paper,” or the worst of all, “If there’s a windstorm, it can be strong enough to push and float you.”

These words echoed through my mind, causing me to question my self-worth and validity.

“You MUST accept your body or you will never be happy”

I don’t want to invalidate all the words they say because I do feel concerned about my weight. I’ve noticed that I’m significantly underweight compared to others around me.

My clothes seem to hang loosely on my frame, and I feel self-conscious about my appearance. While some people may think being thin is a blessing, I can’t help but worry about my health and well-being.

I’m not proud of it. There, I said it. The truth can be hard to face, but I can’t keep denying it any longer.

Yes, I may have a naturally slender figure, but that doesn’t mean I don’t struggle with body image issues. The pressure to fit into society’s narrow definition of beauty is relentless, and it affects all body types, including mine.

My self-esteem plummeted, leading me to avoid social interactions and feeling too insecure to wear certain clothes that I feared wouldn’t flatter my thin frame, making me look like a walking pencil in strange costumes.

I’ve been doing some research about being underweight, and it appears that there could be various factors contributing to my situation.

Stress and anxiety could be affecting my appetite, and I may not be consuming enough calories to maintain a healthy weight. Moreover, my busy lifestyle has led to irregular eating habits, often skipping meals or opting for quick, unhealthy snacks.

I realize that I need to make some changes to my daily routine. Eating a balanced diet and incorporating more nutritious meals will be essential in healthily gaining weight.

I was once confused about whether to see a therapist — for a possibility of anxiety — or go straight to a doctor for my weight problem. In my confusion, I turned to the internet for answers and unfortunately fell for weight-gain ads instead, purchasing a high-priced honey-like product that had no effect.

I also tried making smoothies from various online recipes, but they yielded the same disappointing results. It was a valuable lesson not to trust random ads or articles on the internet.

Then, I decided to talk to a nutritionist who suggested meal plans and specific foods to increase my caloric intake healthily. I started a little food journal on my phone to keep track of my eating habits.

This will help me identify any patterns or deficiencies in my diet. I'm not going to lie, it was challenging to break old habits and adopt a new diet, but I’m determined to give it my best effort.

Weeks and months have passed, and I’m starting to see some positive changes in my weight since I’ve been following the meal plan prescribed by the nutritionist. However, I won’t lie; it’s still a struggle.

Some days, I feel bloated and uncomfortable after eating more than I’m used to. My self-esteem is also taking a hit when I think about how much effort — and money — I have to put in to reach a healthy weight.

I remind myself that this journey is about my health and not just my physical appearance. It’s essential to stay focused on the bigger picture and continue working towards a better, healthier version of myself.

A year later, I got sick. Stomach problem. My busy schedule in the new office has interfered with my good and healthy eating habits. Forgetting to take lunch and eating unhealthy foods late in the evening became a common occurrence.

The long commute to work with an empty stomach and sleepy eyes only worsened the situation. Months of unhealthy behavior led to my hospitalization, resulting in further weight loss.

I was devastated, knowing that I had to start my healthy behavior from the beginning and endure all the struggles again. However, I realized it was necessary for the sake of my health.

As a first step, I made the difficult decision to resign from that office, prioritizing my well-being.

I started keeping a food journal again and attempted some exercises to gain weight — though I must admit, due to my 9–5 daily schedule, finding time to exercise is hard, resulting in rare opportunities to do it. To compensate, I maximize my efforts by consuming more weight-gaining foods.

I understand that this is a slow and gradual process, but I’m determined to continue. My new eating habits are becoming more natural, and I don’t feel as overwhelmed by the calorie intake as I did initially.

It’s essential to clarify that my decision to focus on gaining weight is not influenced by others’ judgments of my appearance, but rather driven by my genuine concern for my body’s health.

People often assume that because I’m thin, I must have it all — that my life is perfect and carefree.

But they don’t see the battles I fight with myself or the times I avoid social situations because I fear judgment based on my appearance.

Back to the first topic: toxic body positivity doesn’t discriminate. It affects us all, regardless of our size or shape. Society’s obsession with body ideals has created an environment where any deviation from the norm is met with criticism and scrutiny.

I want to embrace body positivity just as much as anyone else, but it’s hard when the world constantly sends mixed messages. On the one hand, I’m told to love my body and be confident, but on the other hand, I’m bombarded with comments that make me feel inadequate and ashamed.

“You have to be thin, but not too thin. And you can never say you want to be thin, you have to say you want to be healthy. But also, you have to be thin — — It’s too hard, it’s too contradictory, and nobody gives you a medal or says thank you!”

The monologue lasts longer than that and serves as a reminder of the importance of embracing authenticity and acknowledging the complexities of our emotions and experiences.

Body positivity should be about celebrating all bodies, not just those that fit a specific mold. It’s about recognizing that every person is unique and deserving of love and respect, regardless of their appearance.

To anyone who has experienced similar comments or struggles with body image, know that you are not alone. We must challenge society’s unrealistic beauty standards and foster an environment of acceptance and understanding.

Despite still being underweight and facing the challenge of regaining it, I refuse to give up on loving my body and striving to be the best version of myself, as evidenced by finding and wearing more suitable clothes for my current weight and not shying away from social interactions, as embracing self-love means giving my body and appearance the best care.

My worth is not determined by my size, and I refuse to let toxic body positivity bring me down. I will continue to work on loving myself for who I am, and I hope others will do the same.

Let’s strive for a world where body positivity is truly inclusive and where everyone can feel valued and appreciated, regardless of how they look. It’s time to break free from the shackles of judgment.

I am more than just my body, and so are you. People who say otherwise can f themselves.

#self love #toxic positivity #body posititivity #body image #underweight #social issues

APRIL RECAP

It was not easy. It was worse than March.

I got sick and I found out I have something - things - I need to take care of.

I am extremely anxious about my health and it is affecting every other part of my life. I am sure I will be able to go through this, but right now it’s just hard to be normal.

My mind was elsewhere, but I need to focus. I have places to go and things to learn, so I will try my very best to put this aside and work on myself. April was filled with challenges, but I have reasons to celebrate too.

April goals: here.

Major goals

I was able to wake and get up at 5 am - A win!

I still can’t let go of my phone before bed most of the days - Sad!

I was able to prepare for IELTS, but only 1 lesson. - I need to work on that.

I finally chose a specialization program - another win!

I didn’t find a scientific journal to publish my article on Film History, cause I didn’t try to find one

All year goals

April was better than March when it comes to my healthy lifestyle area. I still need to pay more attention to my eating habits, but it is another win.

Productivity area was not how I liked it to be. I failed some major goals and that bothers me a lot.

I also failed the Elegance and femininity part. I guess was too depressed to take care of myself.

My witchy side also suffered a lot. I had no motivation to keep this habit.

We had some family reunions this month, but I didn’t want to be with them; I just wanted to be on my own. Another failure here.

I spend lot of my time watching series and football this month.

I was able to read 2 books. A win.

Femme Fatale Guide: How To Embrace Your Divine/Dark Feminine Energy

HOW TO EMBRACE YOUR FEMININE ENERGY:

Set A Standard of Self-Regard

Find An Aesthetic That Speaks To You

Indulge In A Creative Outlet (or Several)

Incorporate Daily Self-Care Rituals

Find Small Ways To Make Everyday More Pleasurable

Explore Your Sensual Side/Sexuality

Indulge in Self-Pleasure

Find Divine Feminine/Femme Fatale Inspiration

Set A Standard of Self-Regard: I feel like the whole Divine Feminine movement dances around this topic without directly addressing this principle. Instead of saying to live a life of self-care (definitely prioritize self-care, don’t get me wrong), I think it’s more useful and empowering to view all of your daily habits and routines as a way of respecting yourself.

- Ex: You focus on your studies and don’t procrastinate because you value your time and see the value of your work enough to get it over with. Excelling in your courses matters because the subject ignites a fire in you, you’re passionate about it, and you deserve to pursue your interests/areas of study that lead to your dream career path. If you hate the course and need to do the work, tell yourself that you have enough self-regard to put efficient effort into the coursework because you hold yourself to a certain standard of excellence in your academic life.

- Ex: You go to the gym because you prioritize your physical and mental health. You value feeling (and looking) good. You owe it to yourself to honor this need – we are nothing without our health. The same goes for taking the step to make healthy meals (and remembering to eat). You respect yourself enough to nourish yourself and indulge in the foods’ pleasurable tastes and textures. You deserve to feel light and satisfied every day.

- Ex: You present yourself to the world in a certain way (dress, beauty/hygiene, speech, etc.) because you respect yourself enough to show up in a certain way

- Ex: You take time to explore your communication style, and relationship needs (friendship, professional/academic/family/intimate, etc.) because you owe it to yourself to show up for this person as your highest self and to make those you care about feel good (while still respecting your boundaries)

Find An Aesthetic That Speaks To You: Find clothes, accessories, home decor, a beauty routine, music, books, notebooks, coffee mugs, etc. that speak to you. Refining this aspect of your persona inherently makes you feel more feminine. Dress up every day to feel good. Show up as your highest self, and create a space that visually supports this ideal image. Romanticize your life.

Indulge In A Creative Outlet (or Several): Read compelling books or articles, curate and listen to a playlist that speaks to your soul, dance, draw, write, journal, make a Pinterest board, do your nails, style some outfits for the week, re-arrange your skincare shelf – anything you can do to get inspired and embrace your creative side. These practices will help you feel more connected to yourself, expand your mind, and often set the mood to come up with a new great idea or prime an epiphany about your life or a situation. The mind works best when it focuses on running freely.

Incorporate Daily Self-Care Rituals: Prioritize your favorite cup of coffee or tea in the morning and evenings, romanticize your skincare and shower routines – find products that smell and feel great on your body (and work well for your skin/hair type, of course!). Make time for your daily walk, yoga, or pilates. Do a face mask. Have a playlist to listen to while making dinner. Create space in your day to journal, read, or watch your favorite TV show. Have that square of chocolate you love if you choose. Find little ways to incorporate pleasure into your life that allow you to feel satisfied (without hindering your goals aka drinking a bottle of wine, eating fast food daily, binge-watching Netflix, etc.).

Find Small Ways To Make Everyday More Pleasurable: Maybe it’s the hairbrush and hair-ties you use, the scented soap in your bathroom, a favorite pen or breakfast bowl, the planner you use for school, etc. Make the details count!

Explore Your Sensual Side/Sexuality: I don’t know your age, but these tips should be relevant for anyone in high school or older! Getting in touch with your sexuality and learning that you own it is SO important when it comes to aligning with your femininity (whether engaging in solo/partnered sex or just daily life). To be clear, I think owning your sexuality has more to do with the confidence aspect of it – feeling good in your own body, understanding that you deserve pleasure (and can give it to yourself), and the mind-body connection. Make time to do activities that allow you to get in touch with your innate sensuality: Throw on some satin PJs, a robe, or lingerie. Get some silk pillows and indulgent perfume/skincare. Curate a playlist that gets you in the mood. Have a glass of wine (if you’re of age) and some chocolate, nuts, or red/purple fruits.

Indulge in Self-Pleasure: Let go of any shame. Understand you have the power to feel good and deserve to understand what it means to be a (or soon-to-be) woman. Claiming ownership over this part of your life allows you to set boundaries because you’re never going to hand over this power to someone else. They have the privilege to indulge in pleasure with you – not give it to you. I think this is a super important lesson for teens to understand because you make better decisions when the time comes when you already know what you want, like and don’t like (to an extent – you catch my drift), and have sexual standards/boundaries from the beginning. Now, THAT’s feminine energy.

Find Divine Feminine/Femme Fatale Inspiration: Read books on related subjects (I have a Femme Fatale Booklist for every area of life linked HERE), study TV/movie characters who embody these energies and other feminine muses (my favorites are Blair Waldorf, Olivia Pope, Andy Sacks, Michelle Obama, Monica Bellucci, etc.), read Women Love Power content, take Ayesha’s quiz, etc. Educate and envelope yourself in the feminine world. Invite this content into your circle of influence.

Some resources to unleash your inner femme fatale are linked HERE, HERE, and HERE

How to lose weight naturally from home without any Side Effects

Weight loss has been a hot topic for years, and for good reason. According to the World Health Organization, over 1.9 billion adults worldwide are overweight, and of those, over 650 million are obese. These numbers are staggering and concerning, as being overweight or obese can lead to numerous health problems, including heart disease, diabetes, and certain types of cancer. However, losing weight can be a challenging process, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution. In this article, we'll explore the science of weight loss and discuss some strategies for achieving your weight loss goals.

95% of people in United States does this to lose weight, Click here to see video

What causes weight gain?

Before we dive into weight loss strategies, it's important to understand what causes weight gain in the first place. Put simply, weight gain occurs when you consume more calories than you burn. Your body stores the excess calories as fat, leading to an increase in body weight. This can happen for a variety of reasons, including:

Overeating: Consuming more calories than your body needs on a regular basis can lead to weight gain over time.

Lack of physical activity: If you're not burning enough calories through physical activity, your body will store the excess as fat.

Genetics: Some people may have a genetic predisposition to gaining weight.

Hormonal imbalances: Hormonal imbalances, such as an underactive thyroid, can make it harder to lose weight.

Medications: Certain medications, such as antidepressants and corticosteroids, can cause weight gain.

Every morning 719,000 people use this 5 - Second Exotic Hack to Melt 59lbs of Fat.......SEE HERE

Strategies for weight loss

Now that we've covered what causes weight gain, let's talk about some strategies for achieving weight loss. Again, there is no one-size-fits-all solution, but these strategies have been shown to be effective for many people.

Calorie deficit: As we mentioned earlier, weight gain occurs when you consume more calories than you burn. Therefore, creating a calorie deficit is the most important factor in achieving weight loss. To do this, you can reduce your calorie intake, increase your physical activity, or a combination of both.

Healthy eating: While calorie deficit is key, it's also important to focus on healthy eating. This means consuming a balanced diet that includes plenty of fruits, vegetables, lean protein, and whole grains. Avoiding processed foods and sugary drinks can also help.

Strength training: Strength training can help you build muscle, which can increase your metabolism and help you burn more calories at rest.

Cardiovascular exercise: Cardiovascular exercise, such as running, cycling, or swimming, can help you burn calories and improve your overall fitness.

Behavior change: Changing your behavior around food and exercise can also be effective in achieving weight loss. This could include things like keeping a food journal, planning your meals in advance, or finding an exercise buddy for accountability.

To lose weight or burn belly fat, a person needs to burn more calories than they take in. Some natural fat burners, however, may help the body burn more fat by increasing metabolism or reducing hunger. >>>HOW TO INCREASE METABOLISM?? DISCOVER NOW..

Conclusion

Weight loss is a complex and challenging process, but it's also incredibly important for our health and well-being. By creating a calorie deficit through healthy eating and physical activity, building muscle through strength training, and making behavior changes, you can achieve your weight loss goals. Remember, it's important to find a strategy that works for you and your lifestyle, and to be patient and consistent in your efforts. With time and effort, you can achieve a healthier, happier you.

New year, pretty much the same me but maybe slightly updated, etc.

God, how I love writing into the void on this website. There is something so peaceful about knowing that literally no one is reading. There is something perfect about this kind of anonymity - yes, a random bot or two may glance at my words occasionally, but despite this, no one knows who I am.

It’s January 2nd, and this is a beautiful day to start my affirmations for the new year. I’m not trying to set “goals” in a girl boss-y way, I just want to write out what I want for myself, that way I (hopefully) increase the chances of these things actually happening? I’d love to become more organized this year (tbh that word is triggering as fuck so I’m sorry to even put it into this journal entry), but something that my mom said really resonated with me - how can we set goals (i.e. my general goal of organization) without putting systems in place in our lives to actually achieve said goals? Yes, she may or may not have read that in some cheesy article on the internet, but I’ve been thinking about it a lot, and I’d really love to put some systems into place in my life this year, baybeeee!

I actually just re-read a journal entry from January 1st last year, and I know today isn’t January 1st (but I’m treating it as such, since yesterday was busy). And I have to say - I do feel like I was able to achieve some things I set out to this year - one thing I’m really proud of is quitting my job. I still have certain regrets about it, but knowing that I got myself out of that toxic relationship with my boss has really stuck with me as one of the braver things I’ve done. It is crazy to look back on this journal entries and think about the place I’m in now career wise. Even though my job today may not be quit what I want to do with the rest of my life, my boss is amazing, my team is so kind and I’m literally getting paid DOUBLE what I was being paid last year, and for that... I am proud as fuck. So I want to take a moment and give some gratitude to myself for making that move last year.

But yes, okay, before I get too bogged down in reading past entries written by past versions of myself, I want to write out some of my affirmations for this year.

I will start writing my novel.

Oh god.... I know how lame that sounds but this has been one of my goals since I was a kid. All I’ve ever wanted is to be able to see a book by me in a bookstore. I would walk about Diesel as a kid just thinking about what it would be like to have my words on their hallowed shelves. So, I think I’m going to try to start that journey this year, whatever that may end up being. So far, I don’t really have any specific ideas about maybe something in the YA genre. So, here let the record show that I want to start on that journey this year. EEP feels crazy to say that.

I will figure out the direction I want my career to go in.

Since I switched jobs 6 months ago (thank god), I finally feel stable in my work life and feel so extremely grateful. However, it has been leaving me with more time to actually consider what I want in life and ideally what the next step in my career would be. I’m thinking that around June, I will start to consider either applying to new jobs or think about what I want my next steps to be, and whether or not I want to stay a Roku or switch to a different department or whatever that could be. Or, maybe I want to apply to grad school or business school or something! Whatever it may be ! Let’s figure it out, please.

I will work out more, for myself.

I have made GREAT progress on this one this year. I’ve also been able to just eat whatever I want - and that also includes eating healthy foods when I want to, just for the simple reason of wanting to nourish my body (not trying to eat fewer calories like I used to). This year, I basically worked out whenever I wanted to... and not because I felt pressure to get in shape or get skinny etc. That has been one of the biggest life changes I’ve had since mid 2020 ish, I’ve just simply been eating whatever I want whenever I want, and it has made me much less likely to binge eat. I used to have a pretty intense binge eating issue, but that has mostly stopped because now I eat burgers, sandwiches (WITH the bread and mayo/sauce), desserts and yeah basically whatever I want. It’s been life-changing to say the least. With exercise, I realize that it does make me feel good - so in less of a let’s-lose-weight type of way and more in a let’s-make-my-body-feel-GOOD way, I want to try to go to yoga more, use ClassPass more, and also start.... dare I say it.... RUNNING longer distances? I’ve stopped running, I think it reminds me of disorder eating culture for me personally, but I’d love to start again this year just for the sake of meditation and keeping my mind healthy.

I will make sure all of my relationships are serving me.

This is a big one. I have been working on this already, but there are a few relationships in my life right now that I’m a little bit iffy about, and I want to work with my therapist to figure out if there are any decisions I need to make about them.

Prioritize happiness, but also prioritize honesty.

I think this is super important for me this year because I’ve gotten better at becoming more honest with myself and with my words, but I’ve also sometimes lacked the almost ignorance-is-bliss type of happiness that I used to really embody. I want to try to prioritize childlike wonder and happiness, and making decisions that are going to emphasize and promote happiness in my life, but I also need to be honest with those around me about how I’m feeling and what things (and people) are or aren’t bringing me said happiness.

Okay.... I’m going to publish this baby because it’s been going on for a while and my period cramps are getting horrendous. That’s all for now, or as I used to say as a pre-teen... TTFN! Here’s to a beautiful new year. Thanks for letting me meditate with you on Tumblr.
