Blog introduction.

Hello everyone! My name is Lee and I am 21 years old. I finally took the inspiration (and courage) to start this activity as a resolution for the new year. 

There is a meaning behind the name of the blog and I would like to explain it. “Jaune sentiment” means “Yellow feeling” in French. When I think about negative emotions I always associate dark colours to them. On the other side, positive feelings are bright and shiny in my mind. That is why I see Yellow, the brightest colour, as the symbol of positivity. It represents Light, the Sun, the Day and also the Ground in the Chinese symbology.

Have you ever noticed that when you are feeling down you tend to avoid Yellow or brilliant shades because they annoy you? It mostly happens when your energy has been drained out from your soul. As you may know, it is easier to hide in the darkness rather than standing under the warm light of the Sun.

If you are attracted by Yellow it means you are full of vitality and optimism, even if you can not feel it. With this blog I want to share some thoughts that pop out in my mind hoping that it will help you find the bright side of everything surrounding you and bring out your Yellow feeling.

That is it for today. As time will pass I will tell you something more about me. As for now, just know that Lee is not my actual name but a nickname one of my closest friend created (she is actually the only one using it… so it is quite unique to me).

See you! 💛

Lee 🐥

Hello 🌷

Nice to meet you all! I’m Maia and I just opened this blog hoping to find some people along the way that love what I love~ I am a history, astrology, language lover!

I’m in my second year of university and I’m majoring in Korean, so I’ll probably be posting a lot about what I’m studying in, and as of March I’ll be studying in Seoul for a semester~

That’s all for now, hope you’ll like my blog! 🌷

[etudie-ante-deactivated20200729]

Happy new year you all! 💛 I wish you all a good start to the year, and I hope these chibirds can help you re-center your values and provide some positivity and motivation! You don’t have to be perfect - let’s just do the best that we can!

Clean your room - or at least your desk/bed/floor. It will help your head to feel clear too.

Open your curtains & windows - fresh air and natural light can do wonders in my experience. Plus, it helps regulate your sleep, appetite, and mood.

Take a shower or have a bath - especially important if you haven’t had one in a while. This will help you feel refreshed.

Put on clean clothes - and put the clothes you were wearing in the wash.

If you tend to spend all your time in your room, get out of it for a bit - do something in the kitchen or lounge, or go for a walk (even if it’s just around the block)

Stretch - there are plenty of stretching and yoga videos on you tube. Look some up and give them a go.

Drink a glass of water - and keep one near you too. I’m sure you already know this, but staying hydrated is important.

Get the hard/important tasks out of the way while you have the energy - when we have mental illness, running out of energy early in the day is very normal. Try to get all the most important things done first.

Have some comfort food, but make sure you eat healthy too - it’s alright to eat something you like, but have some fruit and vegetables too. If you don’t like plain fruit, consider making a smoothie instead.

Set some goals - it doesn’t matter how small or big they are (eg. have 3 meals today, go for a walk in the afternoon), whether they are daily or weekly, but achieving goals can make you feel as though you have accomplished something.

And finally, remember that it is okay to have bad days - bad days don’t mean you’ve lost all progress in your recovery, and they don’t make you worthless or a bad person. Don’t give up just because you’ve had a bad day/week/etc. It’s okay to have days that don’t go so great. Stay strong xx
