how to validate yourself without needing others

mastering self-respect, detachment and security

lack of discipline makes you ugly

saving your brain from over stimulation

how to self- learn things

signs you are self regulating through future fantasies

A Guide to Being an All-rounder.

Being a student in itself is exhausting. However, the pursuit of curiosity is so rewarding that I can't even resist. Each time I define who I am, I don't remember saying I am a finance major, I am much more than that. I define myself by my interests and this has taken a while to build. An all-rounder is a person who is good at a lot of different things (academics, skills, activities, hobbies).

A how to guide:

Pick up a sport and follow it up, either by practicing or watching experts play. Mine is tennis.

What is something you wish you could do? Start working on it. For me, I wish I can speak French.

What class have you taken outside of your major that interests you I found psychology so interesting and I would read about something related to this at least once a week.

Look at nature, biology, and humanity and find what fascinates you: I am fascinated by the brain and the wonderful things its capable of doing. Every now and then I tend to read articles or watch videos that explain how the brain works. I am currently reading about neuroplasticity.

Imagine your dream self, what she knows, and begin working towards that. My dream self knows how to cook and bake, she uses her knowledge of wines to entertain her guests. She holds intellectual conversations, and she's familiar with the world of Arts and literature. With these, I am able to create leisure activities for myself that are interesting.

Take actions

Give yourself a challenge, recently I memorized all the countries in Asia. Now, I can tell what continent every country is in.

Treat learning like a game and enjoy the process.

Use your interests as leisure activities (play sports, watch a movie in French, try cooking foreign food, play a game of guessing the experts with your friends, read a small book, watch a documentary on YouTube, or do a memorization game.

Have a list of everything you have learned, you will be amazed by the things you are capable of knowing.

A part of learning is also taking breaks to rest.

Enjoy the pursuit of curiosity!

My 20th birthday was marked with my first Chanel bag! 🥂I’m beyond grateful for the people I have in my life.

[barbieprincesa]

Currently blocking and unadding:

~People i have on my social media and never talked to

~Horripilant tumble vlogs

~People that only use me.

I have realised I should be doing thing for my own benefit, being surrounded by things that aren’t beneficial in any type of way won’t help you move on in order to grow.

If you want to be conventionally beautiful follow these steps to begin with:

Lose weight until you are slim

Exercise to tone your body

Then you can start carefully considering the right cosmetic procedures for your face and body.

Your face and body shape changes so much as you lose weight and exercise. Don't start building on an incomplete foundation.
