The Ultimate Pick Yourself Up Guide 💗✨
Hey loves, I'm back with another long post and today I'm writing about picking yourself up! It's something close to my heart as I have a condition I have struggled with for years that makes it hard to concentrate.
I hope this post is like cool water to your mind and will turn your focus to yourself and how you feel.
Ok ..
Ask yourself
Does my body hurt?
Am I mentally exhausted?
Does my heart feel heavy?
Is my head spinning?
If you relate or say 'yes' to any of these, I want you to take a breath and validate your feelings. Especially on this side of Tumblr were we are constantly acquiring new skills and becoming our best selves, you need to be very careful with your health.
Like I said validate your aches and discomforts, if you are feeling stressed and heavy make sure you feel the extent of your discomfort, let it weigh on you for a second so you personally realise how much you need to take a mental getaway.
At this point cry a bit if you want, nothings wrong with crying, you don't need to be sad to cry, it's just a form of release and surrender.
Step 1 : Take a hot bath 🌫️
Take a bath to loosen your muscles and calm yourself a bit. Become in tune with the temperature of the water and how it feels on your skin. Come back to yourself and sit and enjoy the water. You can burn some essential oil or essence sticks for energy as well as aromatherapy. The point is to get out of your head and get in tune with your senses. This is one of the methods used for calming anxiety, it brings you back to the present and away from all responsibility for a while. Massage your body after you get out with oils, it soothes your muscles a bit.
Here's a video that can be a basic guideline
Step 2 : Moving your body🤸🏽♀️
During this time where you feel out of it, your back may ache or you may genuinely feel disconnected from your body. I recommend yoga during this time as it's perfect for finding a centre in yourself as well as opening up your body. You don't wanna rush into something crazy like HIIT. Ease your body. The point of this is to romance your body, bring that love of yourself back into you. A little movement will also get some serotonin running in your system.
I'll recommend some yin yoga practices as those focus more on the lower body and hips which tend to be where stress and tension tends to collect for women.
My favourite yoga workouts come from Boho Beautiful, here are some of my favourite
Deep Yin Yoga Stretch for Releasing All That No Longer Serves You
Yin Yoga For The Upper Body and Stress
Yin Yoga For Flexibility, Sore Hips and Hamstrings
Yoga For PMS, Body Aches and Gentle Realignment
Step 3 : Meditation 🧘
Meditation is amazing, you just need to have a certain amount of self discipline and surrender to the practice.
Try out Hypnosis too, as weird as it sounds it works on certain people, me being one of them 😂
This part is really important as it caters to your hard working brain and muscles.
Michael Sealey is my favourite in terms of guided meditation and hypnosis
This is also a good one!
Even listen to ASMR if you like it.
Step 4 : Make food for yourself 🍳🍲🥗
You don't need to be a chef for this, all you need to do is prepare a home-made meal for yourself. It'll make you happier and make you aware of what you eat as a lot of tiredness and so many other issues are caused by certain foods you might be allergic to or have a low tolerance for.
I also suggest going vegetarian or vegan a few days of the week as meat weighs you down and makes you a bit slow as it takes long to process in the stomach.
Taking control of your diet is a huge part of taking control of your life as you are aware of what you put into yourself. I'm a full believer of the phrase "you are what you eat".
Step 5 : Talk to someone 👯
Especially at this time, some of you could be lonely and that's the reason for your discomfort, it's nothing to be ashamed of. Humans are social by a nature. Call an old friend, your parents or if you don't have anyone go on Omegle. Just talk to someone.
Step 6 : Learn or read something 📚
Some of you could be boardering brain dead territory. You need to exercise your brain, it's an organ that needs to be stimulated.
Read, download Duolingo, go people watching. Anything is better than looking at a screen all day. You might need to go on a deprogramming mission where you focus on what's real and around you. I've seen it in so many people who are so infatuated with their devices and the internet that they don't know the difference between what's real and what's not. Don't let that be you. I'm sure all of you are too pretty and smart to be having Alzheimer's in your 50s.
Step 7 : Clean your space !!! 🌊
This step is essential, look around your house and room. Empty the bins. Wipe everything down. Look under your bed. Check your pipe systems. Get rid of any dust, grime, mold, everything. I'm a strong germaphobe and I'm really particular about the cleanliness of my atmosphere because your atmosphere is the air you breathe and the air you breathe powers your whole existence. Now if you're sitting in a room with a moldy corner, dust mites and some 9 month old dirt living rent free, no wonder you're sad and lethargic. You're getting poisoned by your air daily!?
Here's some helpful stuff

Step 8 : Sleep😴
You need to recharge every night. Make sure you get atleast 7 hours of sleep. You can't expect to function at 100% with a 60% full battery.
Recommendation 🍑
Delete all unnecessary social media, it'll reduce a lot of stress <3
That's all I have for now

If you wanna find out who your true bias is, just take it for fun, or actually don’t have a bias and are just bored/curious, this quiz is for you! (sorry lol I’m tryna make this nice-sounding, but do whatever u want haha)
If you’re searching for a job make sure to read this post because it could be a lifesaver like it was for me! Some people who saw my other post asked me to explain the amazingness of ‘jobmagnt’ in more detail so here we go! First off the app is 100% free but is only for UK people at the moment, sorry everyone else!
Okay, so literally just think of it as Tinder… but for jobs. After installing the app, it’ll show you job after job in your area, and you just swipe left or right to indicate whether or not you’re interested. You don’t even need a CV to start applying (you will have to send that in at a later time of course but it’s not a ‘hey we need it straight away’ kind of thing)
It also connects you directly to the employer, so no recruitment agencies or anything like that… The employers on this app need employees just as much as you need employment, so trust me when I say as far as searching for jobs on the internet goes this is your best bet!
More information can be found on their app store page (where you can also download the app) and their website

I like to think that Connor Murphy wears those big boots of his to hide that he has really bright, colorful socks.
My face is having uncontrollable spasms. Great. It hurts really, really, really bad.
I think part of why I have trouble explaining pain to the doctor is when they ask about the pain scale I always think “Well, if someone threw me down a flight of stairs right now or punched me a few times, it would definitely hurt a lot more” so I end up saying a low number. I was reading an article that said that “10” is the most commonly reported number and that is baffling to me. When I woke up from surgery with an 8" incision in my body and I could hardly even speak, I was in the most horrific pain of my life but I said “6” because I thought “Well, if you hit me in the stomach, it would be worse.”

“I am the daughter of the witch you couldn’t burn”. -White “feminists”
…
People were no burned because they were witches.
People were burned because of paranoia and superstitions, severe misogyny, xenophobia, people thinking epilepsy and other disabilities were demonic possession, people fearing red hair, wearing colorful clothing, jealousy, blemished skin and skin conditions in general, birthmarks, and fungi, which caused the hallucinations which were thought to be demonic possession and “the devil”.
The fact that white women are taking this part of history, and twisting it to make themselves look cool and hip is absolutely disrespectful and disgusting. Real people suffered and died. This is not something to glorify and praise.
idk im really tired of 15-17 year olds who have never interacted with the gay community irl and spend too much time on tiktok trying to act like the authority on all that is lgbt+
