study moods

sleepy dawn

open windows

listening to lo-fi

wearing pyjamas

planning your day, creating to-do lists

the sky is pretty

spring breeze

coming back after a walk

drinking a glass of water

getting a head-start on the assignment

the great feeling of productivity, ah

cozy evening

sitting on your bed

rewarding yourself afterwards with a bath or chocolate

highlighting with your favourite markers

warm tea or cocoa next to you

night vision

it’s way too late, but you gotta finish that essay

rock music all the way

everything is a mess

you’re gonna be okay though

cinnamon afternoon

drinking coffee

doing some math exercises

listening to a chill/coffeehouse playlist

scrolling through tumblr in your little breaks

There'll be a moment when you realise you're 27 when yesterday you were just 17; and you wouldn't be able to tell how a decade passed away and your life got divided into before and afters. The fury of youth will subdue and nothing will really change but everything will feel different when you look at old photographs and blurry videos taken on cheap mobile phones. Scents will remind you of childhood and certain friends you don't talk to anymore, hangouts will become reunions and mom's burnt pie will become the best food you ever had. And I know on some days you won't be able to show anything of those 10 years but I hope you remember to breathe, and let go of the knot in your chest. I hope you go out in the sun and live a little, because tomorrow is 37.

Edit- I added the visualizer for this piece on my YT, check it out here

a simple morning meditation i do that i’d like to share with you all.

get into a comfortable position. you can lie down, sit up, stand, whatever’s comfortable. close your eyes. roll your shoulders. now relax them. roll your neck. now relax your jaw. feel your feet touching the surface of where you’re at. feel your body take up the space around you. listen to the noises around you. if there are distracting sounds, let them be. sit with them. take a deep breath in. imagine a bright white light traveling throughout your insides and giving you a warm and happy feeling; something that only your favorite dish can give you. take a deep breathe out. visualize all of the negative feelings and pain pouring out of your body. realize it’s not too late to change or start anew. repeat 3x.

if a book has short chapters i’ll read it in one sitting even if it’s like 700 pages, but if it has long chapters i’ll struggle with it for weeks even if the book is relatively short, what does that say about me

[calellon]

the one (perhaps only) thing i’ll always like about growing older and maturing is the never-ending opportunity to develop and refine your personal taste in pretty much anything. fashion, food, music, literature, art, design, furniture: the older you get, the more knowledge, insight and experience you acquire and it all adds up to a treasure of source material to create a new you from. carve, prune, distill, expand, sculpt, evolve - you can recreate yourself always and aging gracefully is all about endlessly enriching yourself through that recreation.

this next cup of coffee will fix me going on this walk around the neighbourhood will fix me this hot shower in the dark will fix me listening to this song again for the 90th time will fix me yelling at passing cars from behind my closed window will fix me blasting a movie at 60% volume will fix me laying on the floor will fi

commitment inventory

Hey, it’s werelivingarts again! My school was shut down yesterday since we’re going back to virtual school :( 😭

Beside other time management method such as Eat the Frog, Getting Things Done or Pomodoro Technique, here is another method that I find extremely useful in my life, which is called Commitment Inventory. I incorporate this technique in many ways to find out and prioritize what tasks are truly important to me. 

Stay tuned, more posts are coming soon! ❤️💙💜

3 types of self soothing thoughts

Validation - it’s ok that I hurt and want to feel better

Reassurance - I can handle this pain, even though it hurts and I don’t like it

Perspective taking: I’ve had bad days like this before, and my record of making it through them is 100%. I can also remember my better days, and know I’m not always hurting this much 

Concept from Depressed and Anxious, which is hands down the best and most useful book on DBT skills I’ve ever seen. I highly recommend it! 

[perpetual-allegory]

I kind of wish that the idea that you can just be was a little more mainstream.

Like, having drive and ambition is great. But it gets drilled in kids’ heads that there is some pressure to constantly be looking for the next move up, to be bigger than life. It wears you down to never be satisfied.

Not everyone is destined for greatness. It just doesn’t suit some people.

There’s nothing wrong with having a quiet life, making enough to get by, having a small apartment where you’re comfortable, and just living. You don’t have to constantly be looking to go onward and upwards. Sometimes the best thing you can do for yourself is to just be.
