Unlocking the Power of Mindful Eating
In today's fast-paced world, it's easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of daily life, often leading us to neglect one of the most fundamental aspects of our well-being: our relationship with food. In a culture that glorifies quick fixes and instant gratification, it's no wonder that many of us struggle with issues such as overeating, emotional eating, and poor dietary choices.
But what if there was a way to break free from this cycle and cultivate a healthier, more mindful approach to eating? Enter mindful eating – a practice rooted in ancient wisdom that has gained popularity in recent years for its ability to transform the way we relate to food and nourish our bodies.
So, what exactly is mindful eating? At its core, mindful eating is about bringing awareness and attention to the present moment while eating, tuning into the sensations of hunger and fullness, and savoring each bite with all of our senses. It's about slowing down, being fully present, and cultivating a deeper connection to the food we eat and the experience of eating itself.
But mindful eating goes beyond just the act of chewing and swallowing – it's also about exploring the emotional and psychological aspects of our relationship with food. It encourages us to examine our thoughts, feelings, and beliefs about food, uncovering the underlying patterns and triggers that may be driving our eating behaviors.
One of the key principles of mindful eating is non-judgmental awareness – approaching our eating experiences with curiosity, compassion, and acceptance, rather than guilt, shame, or criticism. By cultivating this attitude of self-compassion and kindness, we can begin to break free from the cycle of guilt and restriction that often accompanies dieting and instead embrace a more balanced and intuitive approach to eating.
So, how can you incorporate mindful eating into your daily life? Here are a few simple practices to get you started:
1. Pause before you eat: Before diving into your meal, take a moment to pause and check in with yourself. Notice your hunger and fullness levels, as well as any emotions or sensations that may be present.
2. Eat slowly and mindfully: Instead of rushing through your meal, take your time to savor each bite, paying attention to the flavors, textures, and aromas of the food. Chew slowly and thoroughly, and put your fork down between bites to give yourself time to fully experience the food.
3. Practice gratitude: Take a moment to express gratitude for the food on your plate and the nourishment it provides. Cultivating a sense of gratitude can help foster a deeper appreciation for the abundance and richness of life.
4. Listen to your body: Tune into your body's signals of hunger and fullness, and honor them without judgment or resistance. Trust your body's wisdom to guide you in making choices that support your health and well-being.
5. Cultivate self-compassion: Be gentle and kind with yourself as you navigate your journey with food and eating. Remember that mindful eating is not about perfection, but rather about progress and growth.
By incorporating mindful eating practices into your daily life, you can cultivate a healthier, more balanced relationship with food and nourish your body, mind, and spirit from the inside out. So why not give it a try and see how it can transform your eating experience and enhance your overall well-being?
Remember, every bite is an opportunity to nourish yourself and cultivate a deeper sense of connection and awareness. Here's to savoring each moment and embracing the power of mindful eating!

Stiles: Um, sure. Let's see...hmmm...Oh! If you see a drowsy looking bee on the ground, you can give it a little drop of sugar water to help make it feel better.

Stiles: I'm now starting to realize that you were probably asking me for a "Q-Tip" rather than a "cute tip".

how to revise effectively
revision is a very important part of education, but many people have no idea how. in this post i'm going to outline the basics of revision. it's important to note that different subjects will require you to revise differently, there is no one size fits all when it comes to revision.
less is more- studying for 30 focused minutes is way more effective than a 5 hour study session while you watch tv.
work on exam technique- this is such an overlooked part of revising for an exam, but if you know how to answer the questions and what structures to use, it will really help you. ask your teacher or search for your exam board online to find out the best way for your subject and exam board.
manage distractions- if like me you get distracted super easily, you need to create an environment with limited distractions. this means put your phone on do not disturb, if your house/place of study is noisy put some headphones on and listen to classical music or study ambience (my favourites are the Harry Potter rooms by Asmrweekly on youtube). if you get distracted while studying by thinking of things you need to do, something that's really helped me is to have a piece of paper next to me that i can write all my thoughts on, so i can continue studying and do what i've written afterwards.
set precise goals for your study session- this helps to reduce procrastination. for example, if I put "study geography" on my to do list i'll procrastinate, but if I put "do 30 flashcards for the topic hazards" I have a clear idea of what I need to do
use the pomodoro method- having breaks is really important in keeping you engaged while you're studying. I don't follow the typical timings, but I usually do between 30-45 minutes of studying followed by a 10-15 minute break depending on how I'm feeling
utilise your study breaks- it's so easy to pick your phone up and scroll through tiktok until you realise your 5 minute break turned into a 3 hour tiktok binge. when I go on a study break, I only go on my phone to snap people back, or for a little scroll on pinterest. I also like to get some more water, grab a snack and stretch. If I'm having a longer break, I'll try to get outside and go for a walk, especially if the weather is good (in England this is about 5 days of the year haha)
now, onto different ways to revise
doing past papers
doing flashcards
making timelines
doing essay plans
making mindmaps
blurting
quizzes
if you study languages, practicing translations or specific types of questions that come up in the exam (for my exam board this is things like gap fill activities, 90 word listening or writing summaries, finding synonyms in a text etc.)

amateur tip because everyone should know this but i see it even in triple A games so apparently not:
if you're writing a fat character, at the very least make their clothes fit them properly. it always irks me seeing fat characters have their buttons straining on their default outfit, ESPECIALLY on a character that can afford new clothes / has enough money to get them tailored to themselves.
i'm begging you if you're trying to depict your only fat character as a glutton who can't stop eating and keeps busting out of their clothes; don't. fat people deserve to be characters firstly, not a gross caricature. please... please? fuck.

Unfortunately a lot of people won't celebrate you until your wins feel ' big enough or worthy enough ' to them.
But nothing should ever stop you from celebrating yourself.
Celebrate it all,
🦋 The mountain of washing you got through.
🦋 Implementing changes in your routine.
🦋 Changing your bedding.
🦋 Starting a conversation with someone.
🦋 Giving your place a good clean.
🦋 Wearing something you really like.
🦋 Leaving your house when you feel anxious.
🦋 Sitting with an uncomfortable emotions.
🦋 Facing your weaknesses and challenging them to better yourself.
🦋 Sending that email.
🦋 Answering a phone call.
🦋 Saying no and setting boundaries.
🦋 Taking a step back or forwards - both can be beneficial.
🦋 Expressing yourself.
🦋 Reaching out for help.
When you learn to be proud of yourself for every step you take and every sacrifice you make, you won't ever need other people's applause and approval to be proud of how far you've come.

Would you mind sharing some advice on how to write a smug and very killable antagonist?
oh man wish i could easily articulate that but its less that i intentionally wrote that and more that it just happened dfnfdjkfd
have fun
explain, don't justify. when character makes an awful decision readers should go "hm. i see how you came to that. i just dont respect it" or "THATS WHAT I THOUGHT YOUD SAY YOU DUMB FUCKING HORSE"
making a very "extra" or "smug" type of character may make it feel like they're breaking character sometimes but in my honest opinion there is no such thing as OOC (out of character) behavior. humans are complicated and sometimes we react unusually be it putting on a show for a joke or to be intimidating or whatever. there can be however an overuse of those "OOC" moments where if it happens too often you should consider if maybe you shouldn't switch up what the basic personality of this character is supposed to be (for example before i started writing abomination magenta used to be super chaotic and not that deep of a character, to try to tell a more coherent story where the character isnt behaving too much on the nose i had to contain him a little. but as you see he is still quite a rascal, he's just gained more seriousness, he can be a smug asshole but not all the time, sometimes he forces that behavior through a serious situation to show him trying to put on a mask etc etc)
decide how realistic you want your characters to be. if they are supposed to be very realistic then they should be toned down considerably, not to be straight up boring but if a character is too over the top in a supposedly realistic setup then that can be pretty jarring. my setup is not very realistic so it gave me more space to make my characters more exaggerated, especially their cartoon world versions because it even makes sense to say they are more exaggerated versions of their real counterparts as their personalities undergo the cartoonifying process :) thats why real magenta and story magenta are quite different characters personality wise

okay so im staying the night at my friend's in my Uni City on sunday bc my maths exam is monday morning and i dont have any accommodation there anymore (which is really stupid on the uni i feel? like they expect kids to be paying the train and accommodation fares AND navigate the current rail strikes AND revise during heatwaves when they could just very easily in this post-covid world put the exams online? baffling) and this is my one coursemate that's super super good for me in that she's VERY disciplined and WILL yell at me if im not working like i should be. she's also the econ student who asked me in the corruption lecture if tax evasion is legal but that's neither here nor there. anyway my point is she lives locally hence why im staying with her and i cannot stress enough how much she singlehandedly holds my academic life together. like i am going to show up on her doorstep with all my notes and just burst into tears im sure of it
#guarantee she'll teach me more for my resit the night before than i managed to do in 4 weeks alone#the only thing is her parents are SUPER fucking nice and keep offering me shit#and im so so miserable during exam season like i need to just stay in a room all day revising and not talking to people#otherwise the stress will just eat me alive#so even though it's a pain im then gonna come HOME on monday after the exam just to stay at hers again#on the 3rd for my macro exam next thursday#nightmare#BUT her parents keep insisting i stay the entire time like keep in mind they've met me ONCE#and tbf parents always love me like it's just one of my charms <3 but inviting someone for FOUR DAYS when i wont even be leaving#the house the entire time is mad#like mad in a good way bc they genuinely are just being stupidly generous#BUT STILL#and they always offer me a shit ton of food and im a nightmare for refusing free food#like one time the uni converted part of the SU into a langar and i went with this exact friend actually#when i tell you it was the worst combination in the best way my god i have never eaten so much in my life#she was like 'just say no when they offer' i was like bestie i CANT you dont understand#and it's like that with her parents too im in heaven and hell simultaneously every time#so im just gonna be teary and stressed out my mind on the floor surrounded by notes as far as the eye can see#and my poor friend and her parents are gonna be TOO NICE and it's going to break me like i have been holding on by a thread all month#watch me on the verge of a breakdown and the thing that tips me being the absolute angel that is my friend mum#once again asking if i want anything#her: are you okay in here can i get you anyth-#me: *immediately starts sobbing*#AND IM ON MY PERIOD ARE YOU INSANEEE#hella goes to uni#anyway im feeling normal about this resit how are you

#another hot tip for recovering people pleasers / codependents is#actually talk to people about what they feel and like and want and do the same in return about your own feels#because mind reading can actually be both creepy and annoying to people who have developed those communication skills#and sometimes it can seem like youre not even actually in a relationship with them but just treating them like an npc#with a mysterious riddle you have to solve when you can probably actually just be like 'hey do you like this?'#or maybe they've already been trying to tell you what they want but you're still acting like you have to read between the lines#one of the issues codependents have is not being able to identify their own feelings desires or opinions because#they spend all their time trying to figure out and understand other people's intuitively#and are probably mostly spending time around other codependents who do the same for them#probably because they spent time in a toxic environment where that was a survival coping mechanism for them#or the only way everyone got their needs met#so at first it can be rough and embarrassing to be like#omg i don't even know who i am when im not trying to please somebody else#but start with really basic things like#do i actually want to eat this for dinner?#and try to be true to what you feel#and the more that you practise that the easier it gets to quickly identify your own needs and feels#and eventually be able to identify and express very nuanced ones as well#it is like exercising a muscle you havent worked out in years it takes reptition and time#p
