I Am Formatting My Computer. This Means Only One Thing - A Serious Cleaning And A New Beginning! I Got

I am formatting my computer. This means only one thing - a serious cleaning and a new beginning! I got my master's degree a month ago, so it's time to finally start to direct my future and professional life. Studyblr is a huge motivation for me, which is why I will not give up on it despite the end of my studies. will continue to use it as a motivator for further learning purposes!

being a person in your 20s is like being 40 and being 16 at the same time. i am simultaneously too old and too young for this shit

I'm on my vacation. I'm trying to relax, sometimes it's difficult. But I need it to be productive when I'm back. I already felt that I needed a reset. For the first three days, I completely cut off my brain from problems. Just swimming, reading and lying down. Now, the closer I get to leaving, the harder it is for me to relax. I'm already thinking about what I will do at home, how I will arrange my schedule and calendar. But the important thing is that I rested. I really relaxed. Everyone should give themselves this space for pure rest.

I have a pretty productive time, since I've seen the difference between "I CAN'T" and "I DON'T WANT TO". Every time I have to do some difficult stuff and my brain tells me that I have no abillities to accomplish those tasks, I ask myself - Do I want to do it? Do I want to see the result? Like from the bottom of my heart - do I want it?! Or can I do it just because it's obligation? I used to be scared of things, that I'm not perfect in the first attempt. I'm afraid of failure. And now, when I ask myself DO YOU REALLY WANT IT? WE CAN DO IT IF YOU JUST WANT IT, NO MATTER OF THE RESULT. JUST START AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS. And oh my God, this may sound stupid, but I've been trying a lot of things with this mindset over the last two days. New software, new application, new art media, new routines.

be your best version before 2024

i have come up with a kind of challenge to become our best version before the end of the year.

with this habit we are going to implement healthier habits in our lives and abandon those that are not benefiting us, also get to know ourselves better and manifest our desires or goals for the next year.

the challenge has a duration of 21 days but obviously after that we have to continue with this healthy lifestyle that we have created.

- habits to implement on a daily basis

drink two liters of water a day (recommended for physical and mental health).

movement (training at home, at the gym, going for a walk, running, yoga, pilates, any activity that allows you to exercise your body)

commit yourself to one habit during these 21 days, for example journaling.

choose a meditation on something you want to improve in your life, it can be self-love, relationships, economic abundance, health and do it daily (i recommend before going to sleep) during all the days of the challenge.

also choose a video of affirmations, a subliminal, mantra that has to do with the meditation you chose and listen to it at least once a day and if you can more, whenever you feel like it.

print, make or buy a calendar to keep track of this challenge and mark the days you met, if you miss one, start again, propose it.

go to bed an hour earlier than you usually go to bed and get up half an hour earlier than you usually get up.

- habits you need to start replacing now

screen time, stop being so much connected to social media and do something outside or even at home but you don't have to use your phone.

in any social media, stop following 10 accounts that you think are "hurting" you and in turn follow 5 new ones that you think will help you in your personal growth and development or at least inspire you something positive, the time you are going to use social media at least see things that nourish you.

stop worrying, when a problem or difficulty of any kind comes up, write in a journal how you feel, do a meditation or anything else that keeps you focused on something other than the problem, if necessary you can feel the anger or sadness, but don't get stuck in those thoughts.

instead of spending time watching tv or any streaming platform, read a book or listen to a spiritual/personal growth podcast.

- journaling ideas

during these days you can write in your diary these kinds of things:

how you would like your year 2024 to be.

all your goals for the next year.

how you would like your best version of yourself to be from now on.

an extraordinary event that you would like to happen before the end of this year.

a letter of forgiveness to someone who hurt you (it can be yourself too).

a list of 10 things you would do or would like to happen to you if you believe that everything is possible for you.

list of books you want to read from now and this 2024

a mantra or affirmation that you will write daily every morning for the next 21 days. write one that comes to mind or one that resonates with you.

- how to do the challenge?

organize your day to implement the habits i mentioned at the beginning such as exercise, journaling, drinking the two liters of water, doing the meditation you chose, listening to the affirmations you chose.

if one day you don't do any of these things, propose to start again from day 1.

you don't have to exercise daily either, if you are just starting out it can be 3 or 4 days but for example the other days go for a walk or do a stretching routine.

what i have proposed are small habits that can be done daily and complement the routine you have right now, you can do it and after those 21 days you will see a significant change in your life.

this challenge is just a kind of game to make it more fun and have more motivation to implement these habits in your day and start doing it now and not when the year begins. that your best version does not wait any longer to come to light.

and i hope you tell me how it went 🤍

Reframe Your Thinking: Writing Exercise 💭✨

If you catch yourself thinking negatively, try to think about something better right away. Ask yourself, "How can I make this thought more positive?"

Think about a few thoughts that aren't very good or helpful. Also, think about any beliefs you have that might be stopping you from growing. Write down those thoughts on one side of a piece of paper. On the other side, write down how you can make those thoughts more positive.

Here are some examples:

Limiting Thought: I'm not good enough for this job. Revised Thought: I have the skills and qualities to excel in this job, and I'm going to give it my best effort.

Limiting Thought: I'm always so disorganized and messy. Revised Thought: I can work on becoming more organized, and I'll start by cleaning up one area at a time.

Limiting Thought: I'll never be able to lose weight. Revised Thought: I can make healthy choices and gradually reach my weight loss goals with determination and patience.

Limiting Thought: Nobody likes me. Revised Thought: I have friends and family who care about me, and I can make new friends by being open and friendly.

Limiting Thought: I'll never get out of debt. Revised Thought: I can create a budget and a plan to gradually pay off my debt and improve my financial situation.

Limiting Thought: I'm a failure because I made a mistake. Revised Thought: Mistakes are opportunities to learn and grow; I'll use this experience to do better next time.
