new year resolution ideas for self care!!!

1. drink ample water every day — use a tracker for the first two months to make it a habit.

2. only eat when you are hungry, don't force food inside you.

3. moisturize your skin properly everyday

4. do a monthly gratitude jar (there are pretty templates on pinterest if you are an artsy person and if you are not, lists are amazing!)

5. stay curious — make a list of things you want to explore and feed your brain

6. do something everyday that makes you happy — it can be something small like texting a friend you've not talked to in a while or just indulging in ice-cream and netflix.

7. prioritize yourself — do things for you.

8. quit being a donkey — it's high time you stop carrying the burden of others, be it emotional of physical.

9. learn to apologize effectively because good apologies can save you a lot of trouble and bring you peace. proper accountability does wonders (check this out its my favourite resource, it's downloadable)

10. skin care daily, lovely people. let's get that into routine.

11. have goals for yourself, it's good. but don’t get lost in the process of chasing it. experience life on the way.

12. check in on your loved ones once in a while.

13. go to bed early? at least try??

14. go on a digital detox per month/ two months

15. LOVE YOURSELF MORE THIS NEW YEAR! YOU ARE PRECIOUS, FRIEND. REMIND YOURSELF THAT DAILY!

i think it's important that you know that just because a person has been with you for many years it doesn't give them an excuse to hurt you and not take accountability for it.

you can be kind and still have strong boundaries in place.

may is about growth. may is about leaving all the negativity behind and moving onto the positive. may is about looking forward to life. may is about seizing those opportunities you've always been afraid to grab. may is about taking risks in order to grow, to learn, to experience. may is about taking better care of yourself. may is about harboring abundant love and care for the people around, may is about growing into a better person. may is about you.

you know the trip back home from spending an evening with the best people is the most satisfying thing ever. you appreciate everything you see around — the billboards, the traffic, the lights, the sound. and you think 'man, this was such a good day'. everything is magical.

how am i supposed to relax when there are things

[ivecarvedawoodenheart]

like there comes a point where you think something is fundamentally wrong with you. and then it turns out it’s just Friday and you haven’t washed your hair in three days and maybe you’re also just a little lonely and the combination of all three of those things is whittling a hole into your chest every time you breathe. but also the sun’s up. and you’ve survived everything so far, so you’ll survive this too, even if it hurts, even if you have to survive it many times.

[romanticise-a-quiet-life]

[smiles-advice]

there is no such thing as being "behind in life" but it's okay to recognise that you missed out on some things whilst you were busy surviving

bummed that i am a bit of a freak. also glad i am a bit of a freak. does this make sense

february is for cleanse: emotional detox

did you know that february comes from a latin word 'februa' which means to cleanse? coincidentally, i've been reading this book called emotional detox by sherianna boyle which is really helpful.

what you need to know about emotional detox:

- emotional detox is NOT shutting down your emotions. trust me, we all want a switch like that to ignore them get on with our lives but that's now how it works. you HAVE to feel your emotions and process them. that's how you get through the situation.

- for some it's easy. feeling emotions, i mean. but for some, especially the ones with anxiety, it's terrifying. people are never ready for it. but feeling it all is important.

- so what is emotional detox then? it's identifying the feelings that you've ignored, pushed into a corner, never dealt with or blocked. these feelings are the negative feelings we are talking about removing, not negative feelings such as anger, jealousy and etc etc. it's the ones you think you've swept under the rug but when in real, it's haunting you in a different form.

- emotional detox is cleansing yourself of these negative feelings and creating a healthy mental space.

- contrary to what you think, emotional detox begins with taking care of yourself physically — hydration, enough sleep, physical exercise and an active mind.

- emotional detox is not what you do once and stop. it's a lifestyle. and there are so many elements in it.

i'll be posting on this topic as i read and share all the juicy bits to this whole lifestyle.

february is such a sly person. it's the shortest month, almost overseen and unimportant but my my isnt it the most tiring month. like there's so much to do and there are three days missing. i could already feel my bones getting tired just by looking at my schedule. and there are no holidays!?

februray is here and it's like we are standing on the line where the cold sea meets the grains of sand tenderly warmed by the sunshine. it's still cool, we're still dripping water and the breeze is chilly, by the end of the month we wrap ourselves in a towel, we take a few steps more and the sand now, completely underneath our feet, warms our bodies. we will be warm, we will be welcomed by the sunshine soon enough. let's hang in there.
