It-Girling 101 :

you are a goddess, act like it

you have to be confident

you are beautiful, smart, talented and so much more. there’s nothing wrong with acknowledging that and being proud of that. if you don’t hype yourself up, who will? take those selfies, say your self love affirmations in the mirror, wear your cutest clothes that make you feel prettiest! you are the sh!t , don’t let anyone make you feel less than, ever

be proud of everything you do, even the “small things” because everything you achieve is an accomplishment, nothing goes unnoticed

speak up for yourself! if you don’t like something or how something is going then let it be known! don’t let anyone take your voice from you

stand strong on your beliefs and don’t let anyone sway you

you have to respect yourself

learn how to say ‘no’ to things that don’t feel right to you, even if it may hurt someone else’s feelings

prioritize your needs and wants! you deserve to be happy, comfortable and have the things you desire

set healthy boundaries and stick to them! have a mindset of, people will respect me and my limits or they won’t be in my life at all, period!

don’t just date or be friends with anyone. surround yourself with people who treat you right, who don’t call you out of your name, who are kind to you, who are gentle with you, who care about your hopes and dreams, who won’t put their hands on you, ever! people who don’t make you feel bad about yourself, people who love you unconditionally, someone who will never treat you like garbage, someone who won’t belittle you

treat your body like a temple and only be with someone romantically because you really want to and have feelings for them and not because you feel pressured to or you think you deserve less than

you have to treat yourself like a prize because you are a prize! don’t forget, the way you treat yourself is how other people will treat you. so walk with pride and make sure your standards are high always 💓

BECOMING THE WOMAN YOU WANT

Imagine the woman you want to become. Envision her embracing a lifestyle woven with healthy habits that radiate positivity and well-being. Picture her waking up early, greeting the day with gratitude, and setting intentions that shape her mindset for success.

In her daily routine, she prioritizes self-care—nourishing her body with wholesome meals, staying hydrated, and indulging in regular exercise that she genuinely enjoys. Whether it's a morning yoga session, an evening run, or a dance class, physical activity is not a chore but a celebration of what her body can achieve.

This woman values the power of mindfulness. Picture her taking moments throughout the day to breathe deeply, practice meditation, or simply appreciate the present. It's in these mindful pauses that she finds clarity, resilience, and a profound connection with herself.

As she moves through her day, healthy habits extend into her work life. This woman is organized and efficient, using time management techniques to tackle tasks without feeling overwhelmed. Regular breaks and moments of reflection help her maintain focus and creativity.

Evenings are a sanctuary for winding down. She cherishes a good night's sleep, prioritizing rest as a cornerstone of her well-being. Unplugging from screens, engaging in calming activities, and maintaining a consistent sleep schedule contribute to the rejuvenation her body and mind need.

Remember, becoming her doesn't happen overnight. It's a gradual process, a collection of intentional choices and persistent efforts. Start incorporating these healthy habits, step by step, and watch as you evolve into the empowered, balanced woman you aspire to be. 🌿💪🌺🌟

NOTE TO SELF-SLOW THE FUCK DOWN!

improving productivity

productivity refers to the efficiency of turning inputs into outputs. it's a measure of performance that compares what's produced with the resources used to create it. the three types of productivity include economic productivity, labor productivity, and workplace productivity.

workplace (or personal) productivity refers to how much work is done within a specific time period. factors that influence workplace productivity include motivation, personality, talent, training, environment, support, and time management.

improving personal productivity involves adopting effective strategies and habits. systems. here are some tips:

prioritize tasks: identify high-priority tasks and focus on them first. use techniques like the eisenhower matrix to categorize tasks by urgency and importance. prioritizing is essential for several reasons. it helps you avoid getting bogged down in busywork and unimportant tasks. it reduces overwhelm and provides focus and structure. by focusing on what truly matters, you make progress toward your objectives and optimize your use of time and resources. prioritizing tasks streamline your workflow and increase efficiency. multitasking is less effective than focusing your attention on one task.

set clear goals: define specific, measurable goals. break them down into smaller steps to make the progress manageable. goals provide a compass for your actions. they guide you toward what truly matters, helping you prioritize tasks and decisions. clarity reduces distractions, allowing you to stay focused on opportunities aligned with your objectives. goals also serve as benchmarks, allowing you to measure progress and celebrate achievements.

time blocking: allocate specific blocks of time for different tasks. my favourite tools for this are the notion calendar (it gives a great visual representation of tasks). by dedicating specific blocks of time to tasks, you minimize distractions and stay on track. when you commit to time blocks, you're more likely to complete tasks within those periods. knowing when you'll work on specific tasks reduces anxiety. it creates predictability and reduces decision fatigue.

take breaks: regular breaks improve focus and prevent burnout. step away from your desk, and stretch, or take a short walk. relaxing activities improve well-being and calm the central nervous system. the ideal break duration depends on individual preferences and the nature of the work. some strategies include utilizing the pomodoro technique, or the 20-20-20 rule. for screen-related work, every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds. this reduces eye strain and refreshes focus. short breaks (5-10 minutes) are great for quick rejuvenation. longer breaks (15-30 minutes) allow deeper relaxation and can include a walk or light exercise.

stay healthy: prioritize sleep, exercise, and nutrition. a healthy body supports a productive mind. when you prioritize well-being, you create a solid foundation for effective work. chronic stress negatively impacts productivity. practice stress-reducing techniques like mindfulness, deep breathing, or meditation. a positive mindset enhances focus and creativity. prioritize self-care and emotional balance. invest in healthy habits such as good hydration, and balanced nutrition.

remember - productivity is about working smarter, not just harder. experiment with these strategies and find what works best for you!

walkable cities also means sittable cities send tweet

This is Eman a Biotechnologist from Gaza. Asking for help is not easy. It's not easy at all. You have no idea how mentally and emotionally tiring this is. But when thinking that the price is my family's life, getting out of here safely and achieve my doctoral degree dream, it just pushes me more and more to do this until we reach our goal. I'm here as I try to reach out to more people asking for their help to support our family's campaign so we can survive while all you have to do is literally donating even by just the price of your morning coffee or maybe a simple breakfast, So I think I'm not asking for so much. We're really tired of living under these catastrophic conditions for a whole 10 months. Your generosity will not only change our lives but also remind us that even in our darkest hour, we are not alone. https://gofund.me/d597b8e2

i hope this reaches many people in hopes that you receive much help. I know it's scary out there so please keep your head high.

the thing that gave you anxiety attacks for 2 years straight will be resolved on a random Wednesday morning btw

can we stop doing this trope

whenever i feel bad i try to remember that time i travelled 4 hours to a different city with minimal pocket money, to apply for a job. after doing the written exams the recruiters pulled me aside to meet the operations manger and was told then and there i was hired. no interview. i ate at jollibee then went back home.

reminding myself that we hate discomfort, uncertainty, fear and vulnerability but we have to feel these things to truly live

i cannot pour from an empty cup, universe

but i hope whatever comes would be something that my heart and mind be ready for.

and please i hope i have shoes when it comes

2024 · what’s in [this is so fetch]

confidence! you’re the sh!t, period .. look in that mirror, say those affirmations and be THAT GIRL

happiness! let the world be mad on their own, don’t let anyone steal your joy. so many people are miserable, grumpy and rude for no reason, don’t be one of those people. if they can’t match your cheerful energy then they don’t need to be around you.

self love! no more letting opinions of others get us down or make us doubt ourselves. no more needing validation from anyone other than ourselves. anything negative said to you is pure jealousy. we’re going to love ourselves so much that no words or actions of others will affect us.

self care/maintenance ! we are taking better care of our hair, skin, nails and bodies. start a hair routine/schedule that consists of wash, deep condition, hair mask, trimming ends etc and how often you should do it depending on your type of hair. no more being lazy, take your makeup off before bed and do your skin routine in the morning and at night. let’s start a workout routine for a couple times a week; walking, gym, at home workouts, dancing, pilates, yoga etc. let’s pamper ourselves and get a mani/pedi regularly, at the nail salon or at home.

being productive! let’s wake up at a decent time each day and fill it with excitement and things worth while. let’s start the day with journaling and meditation, tidy our space, get work done, run our errands, make time to do something fun or something we enjoy, do or pick up a hobby, make sure we have a yummy meal everyday, take a relaxing bubble bath at night, read or catch up on some comfort things and then get to bed at a decent time.

knowing our worth! no more letting boys treat us any kind of way. we are goddesses, we are princesses and we should be treated as such. any one who treats us with disrespect or treats us less than we show them the door! no more third and fourth chances (i wouldn’t give a second but that’s up to you). have pride! set boundaries! no more putting up with bullshit! because guess what, what one person won’t do, someone else will! there’s someone out there that will treat you how you deserve to be treated so don’t put up with bums, we deserve top tier treatment.

romanticizing your life! let’s make every little thing in our lives magical and whimsical. let’s wear our prettiest clothes no matter where we go, let’s wear our cutest pajamas each night, use our best mugs for our coffee, light those candles, have dinner dates with ourselves, buy ourselves flowers, take ourselves on dates, eat breakfast outside, have picnics more often, explore museums and libraries, dress like Elle Woods for school, make sure all of our stationary is super cute, play music while cleaning up, get dolled up even to go grocery shopping. let’s always feel pretty and find the beauty in each day

finding your style, your aesthetic! find what’s comfortable for you, what type of clothes you feel confident and beautiful in. try out different styles and aesthetics until you nail it! create your dream wardrobe one piece at at time. what’s your color palette? how do you want to express yourself through fashion? clothes are so fun to wear and it brings out your creative side. need help or tips on how to find your aesthetic? let me know and i’ll direct you to my ‘how to find your aesthetic’ post

2024 · what’s out [ugh, as if!]

procrastinating! no more putting things off for a later time. the best time is now. whatever’s on your mind, your bucket list, your vision board, put in the work to get it done. don’t let fear or laziness stop you from living life and achieving things.

letting fear hold you back! if you want to go for that job, go for it! if you want to be friends with someone but scared to approach them, do it anyway! they probably want to be friends too and their too shy to say anything. if you like someone tell them! the worst that could happen is them not liking you back and that’s okay, you’ll live! if you want to change your style, aesthetic or hair, do it! life is too short to let fear get in the way. it’s normal to be scared but taking that chance is worth it! even if things don’t go completes as planned atleast you can say you tried and you won’t have to wonder ‘what if’

responding to negativity/allowing people to drain your energy! girl do not give them the satisfaction, IGNORE IGNORE IGNORE. haters and mean people want that reaction out of you, they crave it, so guess what, don’t give it to them. block them and move on with your day. hang up the phone if someone raises their voice at you. it will eat them alive knowing that what they said didn’t make you break a sweat! continue on with your positive, peaceful day. don’t match anyone’s negative energy, maintain your positive energy. remember : only YOU have control over your emotions.

getting in relationships just because you’re bored or lonely! learn to love your own company. learn how to be comfortable doing things on your own. it’s okay to go eat out alone, it’s okay to travel alone, it’s okay to go see a movie alone (stay safe and aware of your surroundings ofcourse), it’s okay to stay home on weekends and just relax. you are the best company you’ll ever have. spend time with yourself

being obsessed with numbers! 1) if you’re trying to start a blog, have a platform, you can’t obsess over your follow count! that will drive you insane and it will discourage you. just do what you love, manifest, make posts, hashtag, promote yourself on your other platforms and then let things be. 2) if you’re trying to lose weight or gain weight, do it the healthy way and plan a time to weigh yourself – for example : twice a month .. (don’t obsess over the number on the scale) just eat right, workout and you will get the results you want

COPYING! for the love of God let’s be original. no more stealing other people’s tweets, ideas, content etc. lets be creative and come up with our own thoughts and ways of doing things.

staying in unhealthy relationships and environments! even if you’re scared of being alone, even if you’re scared of change, you owe it to yourself to leave these situations. if he/she isn’t treating you right, leave. if that job isn’t good for your mental health, get a new one. if your family is toxic, distance yourself. don’t deal with unnecessary stress. don’t stay somewhere just because you don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings or just because it’s familiar. you have to put your feelings first and do what’s best for you. you will eventually be okay and your future self will thank you

Investing in yourself isn’t always fun. And it isn’t always lip filler, new clothes, and botox. It’s getting the dental work done to the tooth that’s causing you pain. It’s working through your digestive issues. It’s making sure you’re hydrated throughout the day. It’s an inside job first and foremost. It’s an act of self love. As you write your new year lists of all the external upgrades to your life .. new shoes, new handbag etc etc check in and see what are the inner upgrades needed first. It might look like going to see the hygenist with the money you would use for your sculpting facial, trading in your nail appointment for acupuncture. Only you will truly know the investments you’ve made that no one see’s, and these are the most important.

I think the best advice I ever got to stop myself from getting in my head over issues i was having with a partner/friend was “Are you deciding on ultimatums in your relationship without the other persons knowledge or consent? Are you having conversations in your head where the other party is a projection you supply the responses for? If so; you have done this person a huge disservice in not allowing them to answer on their own terms. You have done so much architecture around this problem in your mind that is impenetrable for anyone who was not there when it was being built.”

That shit really changed my life and honestly? I think made me a nicer person to be around.
