What the flip all my old pictures people had of me and I had changed because o revised them, like I’ve always had my desired appearance and body, I am in shock I can’t even see the old pictures to see process lol. And no body remembers my old face height and body omgg.
Hey, just so you know you don't need to edit and write your book in order. You don't need to write the whole thing and then spend the next 6 months editing it. You can go back and edit the first chapter after writing the first 3, or more or less. You don't have to do everything massive sections
You don't have to WRITE and then EDIT. You can write and revise, fix spelling errors and keep writing, or you can dedicate one month to writing only and the next month to editing only.
Hell, it doesn't even have to be linear, write all of your favourite scenes, all the best dialogue, and then connect it all with everything else.
Writing is complicated and complex but at the end of the day it should be fun and inspiring, so do what feels right to you!
The past isn't as fixed as we've been led to believe. Actually, it is not fixed at all. It exists only as a memory. A story you continuously tell yourself. But if it is just a story, doesn’t that mean you have the power to rewrite it?
Neville Goddard taught us that revision is the key to reshaping your reality. The concept is simple. Revisit a past event in your mind and change it. Reimagine it unfolding exactly as you wish it had. Immerse yourself in the experience, feel it as real, and accept it as truth.
This isn't "pretending" or wishful thinking. You are literally rewriting your timeline. The past is not an unchangeable record. It is a construct of consciousness, and consciousness is the foundation of reality.
When you change your inner world, your outer world inevitably follows. Rewrite the memory, and you will reshape not only your past but also your present and future.

hi loves! so i have tests & exams coming up so in case it would help anyone else, i'm gonna be talking about my study schedule including some more additional things like mindsets and other actions that keep me motivated!
routine!
i have latin, spanish, 2 math, 2 science and a geography paper coming up. for me, the priority is the math, science and spanish tests so i will be focussing more on those.
so here's how i'd make a game plan:
choose the priority subjects, so you know what you need to work on.
do practice papers/ whatever revision technique that works for that subject. then anytime you make a mistake, note it down somewhere so you know thats something you may have to touch on ex: for studying math, i do practice papers and any time i don't know how to do a question/ get something wrong, i make sure to write it down somewhere so i know what i need to remember/ work on.
if creating a rigid schedule that u must follow after school doesn't work for you, create a bare minimum of studying that you need to do daily so even if u have literally 10 mins, you can still do something. what i do is that for the very bare minimum, I do at least a certain set of practice math questions everyday. that way even if i don't have too much time to do a lot of studying, i don't just put it off and say "oh i only have 20-30 mins, i'll just do it tmrw"
a couple things i'll be doing to keep me sane & motivated: 🎆🧁
~ changing up the environment. i'll go to starbucks or a nearby boba shop, or you can stay late at the school library- that way you can't get distracted, or if you can only stay at home, JAZZ IT UPP! work on the floor, in the living room, on the dining/ coffee table, or if ur on ur table, move some things around, light up candles, play different types of music to fully just romanticise and change things up!
~ study buddies - it can be really discouraging and boring to study all day long, but remember: you're not in it alone! find a friend who you can study with and won't get distracted. sometimes this won't be ur bff or someone you're super close to but maybe the girl you sit next to in math class who's very academic will be the one who you can face time when ur at home to study together and if one of you has questions, you can ask the other!
~ during study breaks... there is so much you can do which is so satisfying and fun + will motivate you to keep going like for example;
scrolling through pinterest in a study board/ for study motivation. (i have an academic weapons pinterest board with videos, images, quotes, etc that motivate me to try harder!)
watch gilmore girls or smth
read a book you ACTUALLY like
listen to upbeat music that u love and dance (or you can just sit and chill to let urself regenerate)
take a quick video of yourself and check in with what you've done so far
~ create an aesthetic notion page! this will 10x your fun in studying, TRUST ME. you can either search up on yt 'how to make a notion for studying' or check notion's library as they have loads of options! (or ofc u can make one urself based on ur own needs and wants <3 )
the mentality & reasons to study: 💋☕️
girl these mindsets is what has and will get me fighting through the studying & wanting to reach for even more!! i KNOW that at the very least, one of them will get u fighting harder. so here are some of mindsets/ reasons to study!
aint no way i'm going to let that stupid stereotype of "men are smarter" to be true
the thought of a man saying "you're nothing without me" disgusts me SO MUCHHH
the devil couldn't reach me so now he's trying to bring me down with distractions and hard math problems. AM I GOING TO LET HIM WIN???
become everything i would ever want in someone else.
becoming everything i would ever want to be MYSELF. - an act of true self love.
i have things to do in my life. i am going to become a powerful, confident, rich woman.
because being educated and smart is so freaking attractive like to myself personally.
i want to be the top of my class.
learning! sometimes we often forget that the purpose of the tests is to ensure that we've truly learnt the information. so develop an interest in learning to things! in becoming cultured, educated, rich in knowledge because thats what makes you so powerful.
i am the beauty & brains
inspiring icons: 💬👠
1) emma watson
"Don't let anyone tell you what you can and can't do or achieve. Do what you want to do and be who you want to be."
i love this queen so much its unreal. she's everything i wanna be. shes a strong, confident, educated woman who is also so beautiful. also hermione granger is an amazing studying icon as well (played by emma watson). she prioritises herself & her education over anything else thats irrelevant yet still maintains that feminine aspect by being kind and empathetic (though you'll never catch her letting someone walk over or take advantage of her). she's articulate, well spoken, and confident in herself & who she is which is the type of mindset i need in the test!!
2) blair waldorf
"destiny is for losers. it's just a stupid excuse to wait for things to happen instead of making them happen." she ate with that one. oh and another one: "forget boys, keep your eyes on the prize" . she has so many iconic quotes i cold make a whole post listing them but i will leave these 2 for now.
i love blair waldorf's study ethic and determination, i think its something we all should strive for. she knows how to handle herself, she knows what she wants, and she gets it + doesn't let anyone distract her or get in her way. no matter what. thats what i admire about her! the vibe is posh, elegant, studying in a way where you get everything done <3
3) kat stratford
"you forget, i don't care what people think"
ugh i love her and her i hate men attitude lowkey. she's so confident in herself and she does not try to please anyone else but her. shes also so educated and knows what she wants & aint afraid to be herself! QUEENNN
when i'm pretending to be her/ studying like her, i feel like it gives the vibe of studying furiously, angry in a way and not letting anyone or anything get in your way because you're literally just better than that.
