If you struggle with anxiety, overwhelm, or just plain feeling like a failure, I have a mantra for you that’s been really helping me out lately:

Just show up.

I used to skip class because the whole thing was so overwhelming: I had to get dressed in something clean even though I never had the energy to do laundry, walk to school, sit in class for up to three hours, plus pay attention, take notes, and participate in discussion. In reality, I was being a perfectionist, and life would have been a lot easier for me if I had Just Shown Up. By staying home because of my depression and anxiety, I wasn’t giving myself the chance to do any of that. I was such a perfectionist that being a “bad” or average student was unthinkable, so I stopped being a student at all.

If you’re having trouble getting something done, Just Show Up. You don’t have to be employee of the month. You don’t have to be valedictorian. Just Show Up.

What could bring a city/country to it’s knees faster? Collectively withholding our labor is the most powerful thing we can do right now in order to save our lives and those of our grandparents. Let’s spread this!

how to start your year off right.

here are some tips and suggestions on how to begin the new year on a good start. i’m sure there are lot more you can do, but these are a few that can inspire you to do more. let’s make 2018 the best year yet. let me know what you’re doing too!

digital purification. let’s start the new year with a clean digital life. delete old pictures, contacts, apps, etc. go through your emails. unfollow people. delete digitally things and people that don’t have a place in your 2018.

clean your room/house. there’s nothing better than a clean and organized house. designate time to clean every to make sure the cleanliness and organization stays the way it is. having a solid structure and organized feelings will allow you to focus more.

reflect. 2017 was a long year so take sometime to look back on the good and the bad and everything that has gotten you to where you are. it’s important to recognize what you accomplished. 

end toxic relationships (if possible). let’s be real, ending a relationship no matter if it’s a friendship or what is difficult. if you are able to get rid of that toxicity from your life, do it. you don’t need negativity and hate entering your 2018. you deserve love and unconditional happiness!

goals. right your goals for the year if you haven’t done so yet. there are many approaches you can do this for this, but make sure your goals are achievable and realistic. you can do day by day, month by month, or the year as a whole. whatever style will help you conquer 2018 and make you feel accomplished!

plan. i recommend getting a planner, calendar, notebook, or whatever will allow to stay on track for the new year. stay organized and plan events. it’s really easy to fall be hind when you don’t have your life planned out. you can even do this digitally! you can also plan your budget and financials.

me: I’m so stressed!! When will I finally be finished with exams, there are so many things I could do?? Help?!?!

me, during holidays: I am so bored!! Wow!! What should I do with my life? Help???

Please, don’t hurt yourself. Drink water, eat, breathe. You’re okay. It’ll be okay. This is a sign.
