rebellion isn’t what you think it is

𝔢𝔞𝔯𝔩𝔶 𝔯𝔦𝔰𝔢𝔯

you're her. act like it.

this is inspired by self-development's video on youtube

think about yourself

put yourself first, because trust me when i say that no one will put you first like how you put them first. women are entirely too scared to be called selfish; and that needs to change. you should never be afraid to say "no" or fill your own cup first.

being hated is a privilege

if someone is genuinely taking the time out of their miserable day to hate on you, more specifically when you've done nothing wrong, then take that as a compliment! who are they to talk about you, girl? if someone is trying their hardest to bring you down, then you're obviously above them. if you're standing on a ladder, you can't push down someone who's already on the ground. but if you're on the ground, you can easily push down the person on the ladder.

be irreplaceable; be different.

if you want so badly to be irreplaceable, then you simply have to be different. if you try to fit in and be "normal," then your ex-boyfriend or ex-friend will find someone else in no time.

stop overthinking

if you really need something in your life, God will give it to you. and if you really want something in your life, then you'll work for it. that friend left you? you'll get another one soon. you lost two dollars? you're getting your allowance next week. just stop overthinking everything.

HABITS TO IMPLEMENT BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR ᡣ𐭩ྀིྀི₊ ⊹

DAILY AFFIRMATIONS

You can choose whatever time you’d like to say positive and affirmative statements to yourself. When saying affirmations, use the first person and present tense. E.g I am healthy, I take care of myself, and I am strong academically. 

Affirmations are so helpful because our brains struggle to tell the difference between imagination and reality. So, when we visualise ourselves doing something that's not actually happening, it stimulates the brain areas as if we were actually experiencing it.

So, repetitive affirmations will encourage your brain to treat it as fact. While this only works to an extent, it does help with self-sabotaging thought actions and thought patterns. 

EATING MINDFULLY

Eating mindfully is the practice of when consuming anything, you put your full focus on that meal. There are no devices that may distract you, you’re eating slowly and paying close attention to how different meals make your body feel. 

To eat mindfully, focus on the time it takes for you to finish your food. Is it enough time for your body to give signals about your meal? To chew thoroughly? Another thing is to turn off and eliminate any distractions. Such as being on any devices or multitasking. 

Eating too quickly means that your body may not have enough time to tell you that it's full. When you eat mindfully, it's easier for your body to register when it's full. Furthermore, it's easier to distinguish between true hunger and non-hunger triggers for eating. 

CREATIVE OUTLETS

For a lot of us, 2024 was a stressful year. We’re constantly hustling and not letting ourselves process what's happening in and around us. Having a creative outlet helps us to release and detach from those emotions. It allows us to experience that feeling, but leave it all behind in the end. 

Some examples are painting, clay artwork, creative writing, designing, sewing, crocheting and music. There’s a lot more you could do, but ultimately you have to do what's best for yourself. 

LEARNING SOMETHING NEW EVERYDAY

At least one thing each day: aim to learn something completely new to you. Other than the fact that you are learning something new, it allows for your curiosity to grow and expand outside of your typical education institution. With curiosity, comes with the skill of being able to explore complications and come up with solutions. 

There are many ways you can learn, but I think the best way is by coming up with your questions in an area you’re unfamiliar with and then looking for an answer to your question. 

My favourite way has to be watching video essays. Doesn’t always have to be social commentary, but anything that seems interesting enough for me. 

COMPLIEMENT-A-DAY

I love receiving compliments from strangers. It leaves the widest smile on my face and I swear I feel so much lighter like I’m floating around. However, I never think to give a compliment to someone else who I don’t know. So, whenever you see the cutest outfit or the perfect lip combo, make sure to say it!

For those who may be shy in those kinds of interactions, practice saying it in your head. You don’t have to say it out loud to them, but thinking positively of other people will reflect on how you think about yourself. 

That is it for this post, thank you for reading until the end ♥︎ Until next time, take care of yourself ᡣ𐭩ྀིྀི₊ ⊹

if self-care was a girl, she would…

she starts her mornings with a glass of water and stretches because it makes her feel good

her evenings are a mix of journaling, dancing in her room and turning her phone off when she needs time to be introspective

she’s empathetic and patient, specially with herself

she’s a great listener, but she never lets herself be a dumping ground for negativity

she’s not afraid to walk away from people who drain her energy and make her feel bad

her mantra is “i deserve to be cared, specially by myself”

she knows that healing can be messy and she’s fine with taking one step at a time or even going one step back because life is not linear

sometimes she stays in bed all day because she knows that rest is productive too

she celebrates small wins like taking her vitamins/meds, finishing a good book etc. because she believes joy is found everywhere

she values quality over quantity in every part of her life

she surrounds herself with people who respect her boundaries

her style isn’t about trends: it’s about what truly resonates with her

she values the present moment, even when it’s messy

she leaves every person she meets better than when she found them

she reminds you that you’re allowed to be a work in progress and a masterpiece at the same time

she loves herself just the way she is <3
