I'm starting early with the new year resolutions. I have started reflecting on my life and how I want it to be.
I have (and still am) struggling with my self worth and self image, from my weight and physical form to my clothing and hairstyle.
I know I'm beautiful and deserving of love and respect but the criticism doesn't come from outside, it comes from my deepest inner self.
So, this year, as a resolution I have decided that "That'll do it" won't do it anymore. I deserve to take care of myself, I deserve to dress confidently, to brush my hair and style it as I want, to wear makeup, to wear skirts, to wear cleavege, to wear anything I want.
So this year I'll prepare my outfits in advance, I'll wake up with enough time to eat something and prepare myself before work, I'll go to the gym (which I'm already paying) and work to get the physical form I want to have, for health and beauty. I'll keep my bangs neat because I love to have them and wear them. I'll shop for new clothing after researching my likings and needs, not letting me go on impulsive shopping on clothes I cannot wear or doesn't really like to wear.
That is one of my resolutions this year, to be confident in myself image, because I'm pretty and I deserve to love myself.
a big part of levelling up for me has been raising my aesthetic standards. i don’t accept “it’ll do” or “it’s okay” or “meh good enough” anymore. especially when it’s clothes i wear, decor for my home, or objects i use. if it’s not taking my breath away it’s a no. it's done wonders for my sense of self-worth and ability to accept better for myself more widely. please remember that you deserve to feel like you’re living the best, most beautiful version of your life every day.
Today I tried the gym, I didn't like it but it's the only way I can do some sport. I need to exercise for my health, it's good for me, I'll keep trying til I find the exercise or the sport that I enjoy, till then, I'll keep going, I'll keep moving, I'll keep trying.
1. build a strong routine - examples: wake up immediately and journal, don't scroll in the morning, meditate, drink 1 glass of water
2. create realistic goals - be more practical. when we set big goals and they don't happen we brush them off and say 'i'll just do it next week' hence delaying action
3. visualize - visualize how the highest person of yourself looks like
4. be consistent - wake up at the same time, be consistent, and don't scroll when you wake up, just take action everyday ! things don't just happen overnight
5. habit stacking - habit stacking follows a simple formula of "when i do [current habit], i will do [new habit]." for example: "when i drink my coffee in the morning, i will listen to an educational podcast."
6. use habit trackers/to-do lists
7. don't give up when your day isn't perfect - be flexible and understand that not everything has to be checked off, life happens
8. don't go through hardcore restrictions - since it's festival season, there are chances that you might not be able tick off some habits but that's okay !
9. listen to your body - do what you feel is best for you, don't beat yourself up if you aren't able to do something
let go of the feelings you've had in the past year, "i wish i did this" blah blah. don't beat yourself over it. just move forward. why keep waiting for tomorrow when you can start today? show up for yourself. why do i want to achieve this goal? it has to be for you.
