17 notes to self for a good life
Don’t wear a sports bra to work. You think you’ll be comfortable but your boobs are going to sag and ache by hour 3.
No one has time for full makeup, but at least put on eyebrows before you leave. Your face will literally feel more assertive.
Negativity is boring and no one will remember you for it. Unerring positivity is the ultimate rebellion.
Your body is not your masterpiece. Your life is your masterpiece. Appearances mean nothing if you are not engaged in the world around you. Staying fit and healthy is a good thing, but don’t let it get in the way of real experience.
Eat food that makes your body and brain feel good. Don’t ever force yourself into a diet that you hate. Eat to fuel your best life. Don’t ever force yourself into exercise that you hate. You have a higher purpose in life than burning calories and toning thighs. Exercise to feel awesome.
All your hard work goes to waste if you don’t get enough sleep.
Simple quality always trumps tempting quantity. One pair of Docs matches everything and will last forever. And you’ll never wear those ten shitty pairs of cheap heels anyways.
Fashion is fleeting, but classic practicality is always in style.
Fancy soap is nice and all, but you’ll be just as clean and healthy if you use the generic brand. Save your cash and use it for something that actually matters.
Simplify your material existence. Don’t have more; be more. Do more.
Leave your house and do something social at least once a week. Even if it’s just a 20-minute coffee break with a cute stranger. Don’t stagnate. Be human.
Feelings are gross and uncomfortable but they’re a necessary part of having a healthy existence. Don’t avoid them.
Your sex life is no one else’s prerogative and has nothing to do with your respectability unless you lose respect for yourself in the process. If you want to have sex (and your partner/s want to have sex), have sex. If you don’t want to have sex, then don’t.
Self-awareness is a powerful weapon, but a weapon is useless until you learn to wield it.
Travel is the only way to buy happiness.
Life is too short to put shitty fabrics up against your bare skin. Go buy some well-made, high-quality underthings.
Life is also too short to never have brownies. Make time for brownies.
Reblogging for myself. Especially, “don’t stagnate, be human”.
