Wake up and open your curtains. Your windows too.

Drink some tea or coffee, whatever pleases you. Notice every sip.

Have some fresh fruit and finish breakfast feeling full.

Stand outside and feel the air. Cool or warm, it will make you feel real.

Get some exercise. Yoga to soothe, running to breathe, lifting for strength.

Take care of your body. Have a nice shower and pamper as much as you want afterward. 

If you’re going to work, remember you have the chance to make anyone’s day or to ruin it. Act accordingly. 

Weed out the bad language. It’s only creating tension in your body and mind. Kind words are infinitely more appreciated.

Take some time each day to improve your mind. Keep reading that great book. Listen to an incredible piece of music. Practice an instrument or a skill. The progress is its own reward.

Pictures will help you remember how wonderful life is. But spend less time on your phone and more time seeing the world face to face. 

Go to sleep knowing that you have done well. Tomorrow is there with room to become even better.

-Notes to myself on how to become a better person this summer.

To the girls in their early 20’s:

Be careful to not get too wrapped up in life, bills, stress, dead-end jobs, and entertaining men who can and will ruin your life if you let them. If you let these things consume you like most people do, one day it’ll be your 27th birthday and you will have no idea where the majority of your 20’s went, and will have nothing to show for it as you’re approaching the next decade of your life. You have your whole life to stress and worry, but not everyone has the advantage of being in their 20’s and using it wisely. Use your 20’s to design and create your life, and then plan it out. If you want to do something or try something, this is the time to do it.

i wish more women knew beauty is an energy. it’s not about fitting the beauty standard so much as it is that tender care for your body and effort put into your outward appearance (hygiene, grooming, personal style and having fun with it) creates a magnetic energy. it tells people to regard you as important because you prioritise time and energy spent solely on yourself. it doesn’t even have to be about appearance at all if it’s not of interest - notice the same energy in people who are very skilled at something, who took the time to be great, who invested into themselves through passion and self-respect. sometimes fitting the beauty standard does help our goals, but you’d be surprised how little it can matter once you focus your energy on how you present yourself regardless of the standards. move from a place of pleasure and passion and watch it all come together.

reminding myself that there’s so much life to live, friends to make, people to fall in love with, cute outfits to wear, gelato to taste, fragrances to wear, hair colours to try, countries to explore and fruits to taste.

according to jeremiah 29:11, God says that he knows the plans he has for us. he says that he has plans to prosper us and not harm us. so if that relationship isn't working out, it's okay. if that job isn't right for you, it's okay. if that friendship ends, it's okay. because me personally, i’ve never seen God remove something from my life without replacing it with something far much greater than before.
