GET OUR SH*T TOGETHER IN 2025
If you are someone like me and you have been slacking in the self department in 2024 join me and we can do it together! <3
I have been drafting up for the last couple of days some tips and tricks that I feel will help me and hopefully you too :)
Firstly I want to say that glowing up or trying to work for the better version of you can be manageable, by starting small and building the certain habits that you feel will suit you, at first it doesn't even have to cost money or a lot of your time, however it does require a lot of discipline and patience with yourself.
How does Journaling help?
Journaling helps you understand your emotional reactions more clearly, and puts you in control of your emotions instead of the other way around.
Meaning that through this you will be able to figure out the things you might feel might be harder for you at the beginning, its important not to rush this progress.
I know everybody often talks about this topic, and often times no one talks about how hard the adjusting period actually is, it is hard to change everything or even a small significant thing around you especially when you've been getting used to not having such an active life or perhaps some of us feel additionally on top of our other lifestyle arrangements to add ourselves on top is too much which takes me to my next point which is time blocking.
Time blocking is the process of breaking your schedule down into individual blocks of timeΒ it can be a great way to increase focus and productivity. I usually do this in 3 steps
Choose in advance what to work on. (I usually do it 2 nights or the night before)
Decide when to tackle priority tasks, this can be done in whichever interval you would like, I usually do it hourly.
Block off a chunk of time on your calendar for each task.
Now that we have the 3 basics down, we can create the routine we want to and implement the goals we wish to achieve:
In 2024 I certainly and Im sure alot of us have certain gym goals that we would like to achieve, this in turn working out has great benefit not only to your body but also your mental health over time. Even 30 minutes a day will make a big impact especially at the beginning if you are someone like me who hates the gym at the beginning but feel great afterwards, try to start small, a small walk, a small 10 minute YouTube video work out and slowly add more time as more weeks go by.
One of my biggest goal is definitely towards my skin.
Its important to get out of the habit of not washing or being gentle with your skin, whatever you do one thing i will always say to prioritise is moisturising, MOISTURISE, MOISTURISE!
I have had acne and bad skin since I was a teenager no matter what I've put on my face from retinoids, to all these different creams and acids one thing I will ALWAYS say makes all the difference now and even long term is keeping your skin hydrated and wearing sunscreen, you can even get a 2 in 1 moisturiser and sun cream.
Basics will be the way to go, if you're looking to investing into a new wardrobe in 2024 one thing my mother and over time i have learned that basics will never run out of fashion its the accessories that you'll need to put an extra time and eye on, a bag, jewellery, coats, sunglasses, focus on certain things that will bring out a staple to your outfit.
I am of course adding manifestation and the songs, reprograming your thinking into this as a bonus, this is for the ones that want to either practice this or already do BUT I feel that making your affirmation playlist/ song will work better at time rather than the ones on youtube, don't get me wrong subliminal on YT they do work but if you were to make it yourself it has that extra pull. I made my own about a month ago and it has been working great for me.
Additionally I would also like to mention the importance of paying more attention to the songs and the words you listen to, the things you watch on social media, not everything has to be consumed, either a social media cleanse or trying to change your algorithm I feel is a key when it comes to wanting to grow within one self.
When you journal, try to leave a section at the end of the day for the things you feel grateful, i promise, try it for a week, it'll change your life.
Andddd that's it for now! If anyone else has any tips and tricks please drop them in the comments! Lets help each other by also reposting this <333
