how to be too pretty to stress ๐ฒ เนเฃญ เนเฝฒเพ
being "too pretty to stress" doesn't mean that nothing ever bothers you. it just means you stop letting everything have access to you. stress isn't always caused by big problems. sometimes it's the small things that we let sit in our mind for too long. so, before you react to anything, ask yourself... "does this deserve my energy?" โก
this is how i keep my glow while protecting my peace ! โก
being too pretty to stress starts in your mind. your mental space needs care just like your skin or your room. you can do things like :
journaling, but instead of just talking about your day, do like prompts that are pretty heavy questions. you might just find out one of the biggest contributors to your stress.
when i feel really unconfident or sad for any reason, i like to stand in front of my mirror and breathe in and out slowly, smile and tell myself โi'm too pretty for this โ.
detoxing from social media is so so helpful, and not just for self comparison or negativity but just overall improving your life quality. recently i deleted all my social media except tumblr and its so amazing. i feel more productive, confident and just brighter, i definitely recommend it!
i love to use my perfume to โspray away my worriesโ, whenever iโm feeling down and i need a little pick me up, i grab my favourite perfume ( mod vanilla by ari is my signature ) and spray my stress away. it sounds silly but it makes me feel so light.
take your time when dolling yourself up , like who really wants to overthink about the boy who hasn't texted you back or what someone posted on their story? turn your routines into little rituals instead of rushing through them. let yourself move slowly, intentionally and without guilt. let the only thing youโre occupied with be yourself !
like, why would a girl with glowing skin rush? she's exactly where she needs to be !
if something drains you, release it.
if something stresses you, replace it with something lighter, not everything deserves your effort .
remember that not everyone needs your explanations, responses or availability. this is your life and you have the choice to block, mute or silence. peace is so much more important than politeness.
so, my personal priority filters are :
these are things that i try to remember when i'm feeling stressed or just need a reminder of who i am and what i stand for, everyone elses will be different. but if it's not in this list, i'm not chasing it , or giving away my sanity.
theres this post by @honeytonedhottie about keeping a dolly mind, i'll link it below, but she talks about how to create a dollhouse in your mind thats your safe space that you can go to when you're stressed out or overwhelmed. and i think thats so helpful.
