Dear future self,
Hey. I love you. Take it easy, dude. (But take it.)
Take care. Be kind. Be generous with your time and love. Drink some water. Trust yourself. Everything will be okay â€ïž
Love,
Past you
Dear past me,
You started this blog four years ago to be a time capsule of sorts - you never really got into journaling and figured youâd be able to save advice for yourself from emotionally significant days and look back at it and see how much youâd grown.
Well, itâs the future now, and youâve changed.
You had your first stable friend group and then lost it. You experienced love for the first time. You had your first heartbreak. You graduated high school, started college, made a blanket fort, came out to your parents, fell in love with new books and tv shows, had sex for the first time, learned new sports, and found so much new music. You saw so many sunsets, and a few sunrises too.
Most importantly, darling, youâve learned to love yourself. Youâve been disappointed and angry with yourself, youâve felt woefully incompetent, youâve explored so many of your flaws in painful detail, youâve made mistakes, and youâve found the grace to forgive yourself for them. Youâve always been full of so much love, and you finally learned to give it to yourself.
Iâm so proud of you. The road is tough, but you have me. You have yourself. You can do anything.
Take care, my love.
Sincerely,
Your future self
How Often To Clean Your House (aka Being An Adult)
Sprinkles And Crafts: A Food, DIY And Lifestyle Blog.
As an adult in honestly feeling attacked right now
Helpful checklist if you were never really taught how to upkeep a home (which in my experience, most of us were not)
I also have a big ass google drive folder filled with free pdfs that Iâve collected for the past couple of years, itâs only organized by author name so probably not the easiest to access but feel free to use it! get that free shit
This is a summary of college only using two pictures; expensive as hell.
Thatâs my Sociology âbookâ. In fact what it is is a piece of paper with codes written on it to allow me to access an electronic version of a book. I was told by my professor that I could not buy any other paperback version, or use another code, so I was left with no option other than buying a piece of paper for over $200. Best part about all this is my professor wrote the books; thereâs something hilariously sadistic about that. So I pretty much doled out $200 for a current edition of an online textbook that is no different than an older, paperback edition of the same book for $5; yeah, I checked. My mistake for listening to my professor.
This is why we download.Â

Spreading this shit like nutella because goddamn textbooks are so expensive.Â
not necessarily art related but as someone who couldnât afford their textbooks this semester this is a godsend
REBLOGGING because after a little digging, I found my $200 textbook for free in PDF form.
friendly reminder that this exists since I know weâre all going back to college soon
Fr? Lemme check this out
Hereâs the link to all of the free online classes offered by Harvard:
https://www.edx.org/school/harvardx
But TBH I prefer the MIT Open Coursewear approach. Feel like taking a class on the policy and economics of nuclear engineering? MITâs got you covered:
https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/find-by-topic/#cat=engineering&subcat=nuclearengineering&spec=nuclearsystemspolicyandeconomics
In fact theyâve got you covered with A LOT of their courses, everything from fine arts to immunology.
Have fun :)
WHERE HAS THIS BEEN THE LAST TWO YEARS
College Advice
1. Just because you took 7 classes in high school doesnât mean you can manage 7 classes in college. 2. Just because you woke up at 6am everyday in high school doesnât mean you can wake up at 6am everyday in college. 3. Just because you got straight Aâs in high school doesnât mean youâll necessarily get straight Aâs in college (and thatâs okay). 4. Just because your teachers in high school said they were preparing you for college doesnât mean youâre actually prepared for college.
5. If your advisor says itâs too much, itâs too much.
6. If Health Services says to take a day off, take a day off.
7. If you have flu symptoms, do not go to class, you donât want to be the start of an epidemic.
8. If you have a diagnosed disability (including mental illness) you can get a lot of accommodations including stuff that you might not expect, like making teachers accept late work
9. 99% of your problems can be solved by talking to the professor and doing it earlier rather than later.
10. If you find yourself panicking through an assignment because youâre not sure you know what youâre doingâ ESPECIALLY if you are looking at a couple of similar assignmentsâ go to an advisor and ask them for help. Especially if itâs something âsimpleâ like how to structure a response paper. That anxiety, ongoing, can burn you out.
Reporting because all of this is true as I found from going to college
going thru phone pics and found this thing that was tacked up next to the toaster at my old job, if anyone needs some light toast eating reading material
Would anyone be kind enough to transcribe this or link to a text version?
Everything Is AWFUL and Iâm Not Okay: Questions to Ask Before Giving Up on Yourself
Are you hydrated?Â
If not, have a glass of water. Dehydration can mimic or increase feelings associated with anxiety and a well hydrated brain functions optimally. Avoid excess caffeine.Â
Have you eaten in the past three hours?Â
Donât be a victim of hanger! Get some foodâsomething with protein, not just simple carbs or high-fat. Nuts, hummus, and veggies are great options to feed your studying brain. Keep healthy snacks within reach to avoid mindlessly chowing down on sweets.Â
Have you stretched your legs in the past day?Â
If not, do so right now. If you donât have the energy or time for a run or a trip to the gym, just walk around the block or building. Even minimal exercise preps the mind for learning so that you can focus better and recall things easier, plus itâs good to get a change of scenery.Â
Have you said something nice to someone in the past day?Â
Do so, whether online or in person. Make it genuine! We bet your study partner would appreciate a compliment.Â
Have you moved your body to music in the past day?
If not, jog for the length of a song at your favorite tempo, or just dance around your bedroom for the length of an upbeat song (singing along is a bonus)Â
Have you cuddled a living being in the past two days?
If not, do so. Donât be afraid to ask for hugs from friends of friendsâ pets. Most of them will enjoy the cuddles too; youâre not imposing.Â
Have you started or changed any medications in the past couple of weeks, including skipped doses or a change in generic prescription brand?Â
That may be screwing with your head. Give things a few days, then talk to your doctor if it doesnât settle down.Â
If daytime: are you dressed?Â
If no, put on clean clothes that arenât PJs. Give yourself permission to wear something special, whether itâs a funny t-shirt or a pretty dress.Â
If nighttime: are you sleepy and fatigued but resisting going to sleep?Â
Put on PJs, make yourself cozy in bed with a teddy bear and the sound of falling rain, and close your eyes for fifteen minutes while focusing on breathing deeper with every breath- no electronic screens allowed! Adequate sleep is a necessity for stress management.Â
Do you feel ineffective?Â
Pause right now and get something small completed, whether itâs responding to an email, loading the dishwasher, or tidying up your room. Good job!
Do you feel unattractive?Â
Take a darn selfie. Your friends will remind you how great you look. You are always insta-worthy.Â
Do you feel paralyzed by indecision?
Give yourself ten minutes to sit back and figure out a game plan for the day. If a particular decision or problem is still being a roadblock, simply set it aside for now, and pick something else that seems doable. Right now, the important part is to break through that stasis, even if it means doing something trivial.Â
Have you over-exerted yourself latelyâphysically, emotionally, socially, or intellectually?Â
That can take a toll that lingers for days. Give yourself a break in that area, whether itâs physical rest, taking some time alone, or relaxing with some silly entertainment for a little. Time spent refreshing yourself is never time âwasted!âÂ
Have you waited a week?Â
Sometimes or perception of life is skewed, and we canât even tell that weâre not thinking clearly, and thereâs no obvious external cause. It happens. Keep yourself going for a full week, whatever it takes, and see if you still feel the same way then.Â
Youâve made it this far; and you will make it through. You are stronger than you think.

I donât need to. The Detroit Lions will still suck and Iâll continue betting on them because Iâm stupid.
No youâŠ. really need to click the link
When analysing e.g. a political speech or an article, you have to look at the stylistic devices the author (or speaker) uses; what I usually found most diffcicult was not to identify the devices (altough here is a post with the most important ones), but how to explain why the speaker/author might have used them, without using âto emphasizeâ a bazillion times in my analysis.
(Also please note that the terms âpositiveâ and ânegativeâ are used very loosely here, I just needed some sort of classification to order these verbs so that this list is somewhat organized)
Study Tips that Arenât Bullshit
Ok. Listen. I just graduated college on time with two degrees, a minor, and a 3.9 GPA, and now that itâs back-to-school time for some of you folks (my grad program doesnât start until September) Iâve been seeing some study tips that are half-useful but mostly bullshit. So Iâm here to give you some tips for collegiate success as a person who was pretty successful in the collegiate realm.
1) The Three to One Rule is Useless
Hereâs the truth. Some classes are going to require minimal effort. Some are going to require more than three hours of outside study time per credit. Itâs not a good rule of thumb because different people have different skills and take different amounts of time to do shit. For organic chemistry, you might be spending more 9 hours per week studying (and according to the success rates of some of my peers, I recommend you spend at least that much time on o-chem). But thereâs also, say, Oceanography. I took that class. I studied/put in work⊠maybe an hour per week, and it was a three credit class. But I also took a class that was 3 credits called 18th Century America, and I would say I probably put something like 10-15 hours per week doing the readings and assignments for that class. It just depends, you guys. Figure out what works for each class and then distribute your time accordingly (and donât waste time studying for something you very obviously know and have already aced).Â
2) Study When You Can
Sometimes you have to cram. I donât recommend it, but it happens. If you do, use the whole day before to go over stuff and test yourself. Do not do it the morning of, donât do it right before the test. That is useless. If you have a good memory, you can study the night before/two days before.
That said, if memorization and improvisation arenât your strong suits, do go over your notes at the end of each day, and if you donât get something, as your prof or your TA or your friend who definitely knows what theyâre doing. Talking about it will only help you remember it more.
Overall, study when you can find the time. Sometimes that means staying off twitter for a few minutes and reviewing your notes instead, but if youâre paying good money for higher education (and I assume you are), donât waste it by never studying or blowing off an exam.Â
3) Manage Your Time, ButâŠ
Just because you manage your time to make school a priority does not mean that you should let the other things in your life fall by the wayside. People often forget basic self care when they put school before everything else. Remember to shower and brush your teeth and take a minute for yourself because life is a lot and school is just a small part of your life. You cannot let time management become a synonym for school > everything else. It just means that you need to spend all of your time wisely, whether thatâs getting some socialization in there or eating dinner or doing homework or taking a shower.
4) You Are Allowed to Forget Stuff
Look. I recommend always having more than one writing utensil, but you can forget one day. You can forget a notebook or a textbook every once and a while. I did, and yet I succeeded with flying colors. Definitely try not to be rushed all the time, but donât freak out if you grabbed the wrong notebook. Just take down notes and staple them into the right one, or however you do it.Â
Also, yeah, your college profs arenât here to attend to your personal needs, but if you have a class on one side of the campus and only ten minutes to get to the class on the other side of the campus, see if you can leave early or let the prof know that youâre going to be a few minutes late because you can only cross a mile so fast. Professors are far more understanding than they let on (some of them arenât, but theyâre just dicks, and youâll either have to deal with that or be prepared to challenge them).
And, of course, if youâre struggling, ask for help. Profs want you to succeed, actually, and if they donât, then it might be time for a discussion with the chair of the department.
5) Stay Organized, Whatever That Means
Some people stay organized with color-coded pens, tabs, and a designer planner. Some people have the patience for bullet journals. Some people write their assignments down on their phones, or set a google/apple calendar alert. However you remember things, just remember them. Whatâs organized to you wonât be organized for someone else, and whatâs organized for someone else might not look organized to you. There is no objective way to stay organized. I donât recommend trying to store everything inside your head, but youâll figure out what works for you.Â
6) You Donât Always Need to Read/You Donât Always Need to Take Notes
Some classes are really important, some are not; some textbooks are really useful, some are not; taking notes can be effective, or they could be useless to you by the time the exam or essay rolls around. I took very light notes for my Brit Lit class (and did 75% of the reading), my World Drama class (90% of the reading), my Monuments in History capstone (20% of the reading), and I got Aâs in all of those classes. I took heavy notes for Biology and Western Mythology and read about half of what was assigned. I took no notes for my Anthropology of Sex & Reproduction class, but I read absolutely everything.Â
It will probably take you about three weeks to figure out your profâs teaching style. If itâs an English class, youâre gonna need to read most of it. If itâs a science class, maybe not. If you only have a midterm and a final, and not tests i between those, you might want to keep the textbook handy. But different classes have different requirements, just like they do with the number of hours you spend studying. So you know, act accordingly.
7) Read The Assigned Chapter Before Class, But Donât Read Ahead
Look, most profs are gonna tell you to read the chapter before class on Monday, or maybe theyâll give you until Wednesday, so you should read in advance. But unless a prof says to read ahead, you really donât need to read ahead, especially if you have content-based reading quizzes. It just gets really confusing and getting ahead is only necessary when you know that otherwise youâll get behind. I mean, read ahead if you want to, but know that you probably donât have to.
8) Show Up, For Fuckâs Sake
Look, showing up is the easiest thing in the world. And I know what having those 8am/9am classes is like. Iâll admit, I didnât show up half the time to my 9am freshman philosophy class, but I bet I wouldnât have failed two tests if Iâd shown up (I still got an A in the class, donât worry, there were a lot of assignments and one test didnât count for much). I just wanted to sleep. But if you show up and pay attention, youâre more than likely going to get a lot of out of the class.
Oh, and if your prof takes attendance. Show up. Especially if itâs a small class. Trust me, theyâll notice, and it will be so embarrassing.Â
But also, donât sweat it if youâre sick one day or sleep through the alarm. It fucking happens, and like Iâve said before, profs are pretty understanding most of the time.Â
9) Take Notes However Works For You
Some people use that weird method of dividing the paper in half hot-dog style, and thatâs fine. Some people scribble shit down that no one else can read. Donât feel pressured to rewrite your notes unless you canât understand them. Do not review right after class - give your brain some fucking time to process that shit. But maybe review in the next 48 hours, itâll help you be ready for the next class.
10) Donât Be On Your Phone
Unless youâre literally not learning anything. I spent more time in my Geography class on my phone or computer getting useful things done or playing games than I did actually learning anything from the professor. In my Asian History class, the teacher was mediocre at best, so my friend and I sat there in the front row and played hangman (which was kind of disrespectful but we were idiots at the time so). But if your grades slip because youâre on your phone and not paying attention, or if your teacher has to tell you more than once to get off your phone, you might have phone addiction. See someone about that, k?
11) Review? Maybe
If you choose to review your notes, do so in a quiet, calm, and un-rushed manner. Donât just look at them - actually try to absorb them. Otherwise thereâs no point in reviewing them.Â
12) Study When You Can
Wait, didnât I already have this one? Yeah. But! I saw a thing that said study early and often, which is great if you can make the time, but the truth is that if you study too early youâll forget everything, and if you study too often you likely wonât be able to focus on other things that require your attention. So study not too long nor too shortly before the exam, and donât study so much that your brain explodes. Give yourself a break. Have a kit-kat.
13-14) Flashcards? Mnemonic Devices?Â
Use them if they work for you, and maybe try color coding them. That can help with memorization. But if they donât work for you, donât use them.
15) Donât Rewrite Your Notes
Unless you canât read them. Then definitely either rewrite them or type them up, so that theyâre actually usable.Â
16) Consolidate
This suggestion was actually pretty okay. Making lists and/or tables or whatever can really help, especially if youâre a visual learner. But if they donât help you, donât use them, because then itâs just a waste of your time.
17) Teach It To Someone Else
Yeah, this one is good, too. But make sure the person youâre explaining it to doesnât have a lot of background knowledge, because itâs being able to explain it correctly to someone who hasnât heard it before that really counts.
18) Is There Even Such a Thing as a Good Study Environment?
Some people canât study on their own. I sure have a hard time of it, especially because I get distracted on my own. For me, studying with others for exams has saved my grade. But there are times or assignments that are best done on your own.
What I will say, is that when you study with other people, sometimes itâs best to study with your friends who are studying something else. My friend Breea and I had completely different majors and classes, but we made the best study partners because she could explain science to me and I could explain anthropology and history to her, and thatâs how we knew we were good to go.Â
19) Sleeeeeeeeeep. Plan. Deal.Â
Get a good nightâs sleep before an exam and try not to be late. Mean profs will not let you make up a missed exam. Good profs will, even if it was just a traffic jam. But generally speaking, try to prepare for all worst case scenarios when you have an assignment due.Â
20) Ask. Questions. Jesus. Christ.
Look if you get something wrong, donât be embarrassed or ashamed. Ask why you got it wrong, and if you think you did something right but the TA or prof just graded it wrong, feel free to point out their mistakes (in private, though, not in front of the class). Go to office hours and make use of that time, or make an appointment with a prof so that you donât have to skip class to go to office hours.
21) Midterms and Finals Are Different. Or Not.
Ask your prof at the beginning if the final will be cumulative. If it is, keep reviewing that midterm material through the end of the class. If not, feel free to forget most of the stuff from the midterm and earlier. Each prof is different and some finals arenât even exams, theyâre papers or projects. So, you know, plan accordingly.Â
22) Donât Keep Your Fucking Textbooks
Look, unless you fell in love with a text (happens to English majors), sell back your books. And after a few weeks (or once the next term starts) throw out your notes, especially if you canât read them or if theyâre for a class you had to take for university credit but didnât actually need for your major.Â
SELL. THOSE. BOOKS. I canât say it enough, you wonât make much, but itâll be nice to get that lunch after finals are over. But remember, donât sell the book until youâve taken/turned in the final.Â
23) Talk to People!
I saw something that said not to discuss grades/quizzes/tests/exams with classmates. Fuck that. I mean, try not to talk about it before the exam starts or whatever, but fucking talk about that shit. In my Mediterranean Archaeology class, we all talked about the readings before class on Fridays because we had a reading quiz and no fucking idea what the reading was about (those were some of the hardest readings ever). It was really helpful to discuss and summarize to make sure we got the point of the article. Also, like, if youâre comfortable with sharing grades, do, and if youâre not, donât. Itâs your grade, you can do whatever you want with it.
Also, if youâre unsure about something, you can ask a classmate. Thatâs probably a better first resource than a prof, who will get annoyed, especially if you didnât do the reading.
THATâS IT.
Well, I hope this fucking helps. This was basically how I survived college, except add a lot of caffeine. Every major is different, some things are universal. So. You know. Go ham.

Money cat can only do so much
This may help someone
My favorite Shady/Illegal tips
*If you donât have a stamp, reverse your destination and return addresses. The post office will deliver it to the return address for free
*One bag of garbage from a McDonaldâs dumpster has hundreds of receipts in it, each of which has a survey. Submit each one for lots of free food
*Holding a cell phone to your ear justifies loitering. This aids in public urination, dumpster diving, stalking, trespassing, etc
*If youâre going to plagiarize, plagiarize something in a foreign language. Use a translator and spend a few minutes touching up the results.
*If they have free refills, save your cup. Next time you eat there, your drink is free.
*A plastic coffee stir stick can fool any push in coin acceptor that loads the coins on edge. Just insert stir stick, push the mechanism forward until you feel the stick hit a bump, push the bump down with the stick and push the mech all the way in
*If you look like you know what youâre doing, no one will bother you.
*When lying, always include something slightly embarrassing, or something that makes you look bad, as part of your story. Itâs not only going to disarm their skepticism (admitting to something embarrassing gives an impression of humility), but even if they remain skeptical, theyâll be left wondering why you would make something up that youâd rather keep secret if it were true
*Using Clorox or any bleach will turn the red/pink liquid detection dot on electronic devices back to white so they replace them under warranty
*Â âA drug dealer in DC taught me to pick my nose if the police are staring at me. No one picks their nose if they think someone is watching them, so itâs the ultimate way of being nonchalant.â
* "I learned that you can get into almost any special event by wearing a chef coat. Even just carrying one and walking like you know where youâre going will work every time. Most people donât want to look stupid by asking you who you are.âÂ
* "My go to missing work call was never âIâm sickâ, it was âFamily problemsâ. They never questioned it, itâs vague enough and embarrassing enough that nobody ever asks.âÂ
*As part of the employee training at Target, they teach you that if a customer argues over a price, and the full price is under $20, to just give it to them for whatever price they claim. Itâs cheaper for the company to move on to the next customer than to call in a price check.
*Put a rolled up sock in the change slot on a vending machine, come back back 4 days laterâŠ.and pull sockâŠ.you will be 6-ish dollars richer.
*If itâs a small lie, like who farted or who put the empty milk carton in the fridge, Iâll tell a terrible lie. Iâll not be able to hold a straight face, contradict myself, basically suck at lying.Now everyone I know thinks I canât tell a lie to save my life. So when I really need a big lie, I nail it every time. No one ever suspects me when I lie straight faced.
*Bring crutches to an airport. Bypass every line (including boarding) and you are chauffeured to your gate the second you pass through security.
*Make up a secret to share with someone- they may open up and share far more valuable real secrets.
*Hereâs a classic. Drive over to your 7/11 of choice. Fill up a Slurpee and drop some candy bars in that bitch. Make sure the candy bars arenât showing. Cover the Slurpee and pay for it. Free Snickers bitch.
*I tell everyone iâve never done any drugs. Suddenly everyone offers me cocaine, ecstasy, pot, lsd. I think iâve had $200 worth of drugs each weekend for free.Same with liquor. âIm not drinking tonightâ BOOM! Everyone gives me booze. Its like everyone wants to break your integrity as soon as you tell them you are not doing whatever they are doing.
*If you need to cash from an ATM and its not a large amount, buy a 5 cent piece of gum from a gas station that has the cash back option. Its cheaper than a $3 charge
*Act less intelligent than you really are. Acting stupid can get you out of some tricky situations. Feigning ignorance is way better than admitting you knew better but did it anyway. My old man used to say âIt is easier to beg forgiveness than ask for permissionââŠsometimes itâs true.
*Every time I fly, when I land Iâll pen a little complaint to the airline that flew me. You know, Iâll come up with something like âoh, they denied me a drink! Oh, the food wasnât vegetarian!â Whatever miscellaneous hogwash potpourri comes to my crazy brain. And like clockwork, within a business day, theyâre reimbursing me with a $50 voucher, a $100 voucher, I can sell that on the secondary market.
*Iâve always had a lot of success in shutting nosy people up by blaming any personal issue on allergies. Crying from a panic attack? Allergies giving me puffy eyes. Whatâs that mysterious pill Iâm taking? Allergy meds. Why am I acting spaced out/hungover/tired? Allergies meds making me drowsy.
*If you really wanna get away with some shit, buy a reflective vest, a white hard hat, and a clipboard. You can go ANYWHERE.
little self care tips
- apply Vaseline to your eyes, lashes, brows, and lips before bed
- never brush curly hair while itâs dry
- on that note, applying products/oil to curly hair while dry is useless
- use a t shirt to dry hair to avoid frizz
- sleep without pants. trust me.
- avoid watery body lotions like Vaselineâs lotion. only dries you out
- avoid crystalline, jagged scrubs (sugar, coffee. St. Ives, etc.). Use round/gentle ones like oatmeal
- avoid coconut oil on face. if you apply it to your hair wash your face afterwards
- donât put lemon on your face. it might seem like itâs helping but it weakens its protective layer in the long run. if you do use it, dilute it and avoid sun for a while.
- no toothpaste on pimples either itâs a myth
- why do u have a bra on at home. take that shit off and live a little.
- apply deodorant before getting dressed so it doesnât rub off on your clothes defeating the purpose
- reapply sunscreen every 3-4 hours
- donât text the fuckboy he donât care about you
- wake up 30 minutes earlier to have a more relaxed morning and avoid rushing
- wash panties by themselves so you donât get the gross dirt and germs from your other clothes mixed in. dry them in the sun to kill bacteria if possible.
- hand wash all hijabs theyâll last longer
- donât use rose water with added fragrance. always check label
- eat at least one fruit or vegetable a day
- leave menial tasks for the end of the day. donât drain yourself before getting to the important stuff
- before saying something mean or a nasty joke, take 5 seconds to think about it.
- apologizing first doesnât make you weak
- being vulnerable doesnât make you weak
- exfoliate after using foundation or powder
- clean phone screen with rubbing alcohol/sanitizer
might add more later or y'all can reblog with your own tips
Do not put your bras in the dryer!!! Hang dry them!! They will keep their shape so much longer. If possible, get a bra bag to wash your bras in. It protects them from the harsh movement of the washer and keep the clasps from hooking on to another piece of clothing and ruining it. Also try to use delicate setting.
Its you have bigger boobs like I do, get some âat-homeâ bras to wear when youâre just hanging around the house. I personally like sports bras from Walmart that are one size too big. Your back will thank you.
Sleeping without pants/shorts has changed my life for the better. Night gowns and sleep shirts are also great.
Resume Cheat Sheet.
Type ALL the key/action words in white and the smallest font possible at the bottom of your resume because companies use databases that pinpoint them to select potential hires for recruiters
push yourself to get up before the rest of the world - start with 7am, then 6am, then 5:30am. go to the nearest hill with a big coat and a scarf and watch the sun rise.
push yourself to fall asleep earlier - start with 11pm, then 10pm, then 9pm. wake up in the morning feeling re-energized and comfortable.
get into the habit of cooking yourself a beautiful breakfast. fry tomatoes and mushrooms in real butter and garlic, fry an egg, slice up a fresh avocado and squirt way too much lemon on it. sit and eat it and do nothing else.
stretch. start by reaching for the sky as hard as you can, then trying to touch your toes. roll your head. stretch your fingers. stretch everything.
buy a 1L water bottle. start with pushing yourself to drink the whole thing in a day, then try drinking it twice.
buy a beautiful diary and a beautiful black pen. write down everything you do, including dinner dates, appointments, assignments, coffees, what you need to do that day. no detail is too small.
strip your bed of your sheets and empty your underwear draw into the washing machine. put a massive scoop of scented fabric softener in there and wash. make your bed in full.
organise your room. fold all your clothes (and bag what you donât want), clean your mirror, your laptop, vacuum the floor. light a beautiful candle.
have a luxurious shower with your favourite music playing. wash your hair, scrub your body, brush your teeth. lather your whole body in moisturiser, get familiar with the part between your toes, your inner thighs, the back of your neck.
push yourself to go for a walk. take your headphones, go to the beach and walk. smile at strangers walking the other way and be surprised how many smile back. bring your dog and observe the dogâs behaviour. realise you can learn from your dog.
message old friends with personal jokes. reminisce. suggest a catch up soon, even if you donât follow through. push yourself to follow through.
think long and hard about what interests you. crime? sex? boarding school? long-forgotten romance etiquette? find a book about it and read it. there is a book about literally everything.
become the person you would ideally fall in love with. let cars merge into your lane when driving. pay double for parking tickets and leave a second one in the machine. stick your tongue out at babies. compliment people on their cute clothes. challenge yourself to not ridicule anyone for a whole day. then two. then a week. walk with a straight posture. look people in the eye. ask people about their story. talk to acquaintances so they become friends.
lie in the sunshine. daydream about the life you would lead if failure wasnât a thing. open your eyes. take small steps to make it happen for you.
This is all really good advice for dealing with long term depression and anxiety. Itâs not gonna magically cure you, but Iâve pushed myself to incorporate a few of these things into my day to day routine and it helps
