Going to therapy and talking out your issues will have no negative effects on your manifestations! In fact, it will probably have a really positive impact on you and your manifestations. Remember to affirm and persist and everything will come to you no matter what, it’s really not that deep. People online will make you believe manifestation is hard and has rules but it literally doesn’t! Just do what works for you and remember everything will always work out in our favour ❤️

It's okay to want to do better, look a certain way, etc.

What's not okay is using everything in your power to tear someone else down that is not up to your own standards or at the same level as you.

You don't gotta like everyone and everything. But if they aren't hurting you/hurting others and are literally just existing as themselves, just leave em be.

I will succeed because I’m crazy

you deserve softness.

you deserve kindness.

you deserve stillness.

you deserve patience.

you deserve love.

you deserve respect.

you deserve care.

you deserve laughter.

you deserve intimacy.

you deserve hugs.

you deserve kisses.

you deserve flowers.

you deserve it all.

"i can't decide if I want this or this to be my aesthetic" do both. do them all. you are a multifaceted human being and you're not supposed to be boxed into one style category 24/7 like a fictional character

i dont consider myself a 'fashion guru' by any means but one thing i will say is guys you dont need to know the specific brand an item you like is - you need to know what the item is called. very rarely does a brand matter, but knowing that pair of pants is called 'cargo' vs 'boot cut' or the names of dress styles is going to help you find clothes you like WAAAYYYY faster than brand shopping

10 things to do when you’re having a hard day or when motivation is down </3

Take a long shower/bath to cleanse yourself of your negative thoughts/feelings

Make your bed to get your motivation started

Do a quick workout to get your body moving

Write in your journal about how you feel and why, it might release some emotions and make you feel better

Drink water and put intention in it - decide that the water is going to cleanse your energy and it will!

Talk to a friend or a family member and if that isn’t available to you right now talk to an online friend or even a pet

Read a book (if you like reading, otherwise it might not be as calming)

Put on dancy music and dance around your room! Gets your mood up and your body moving

Take a walk, let the fresh air heal you

Put on makeup and a cute outfit because look good = feel good

dealing with the blues : how to manage negative emotions and more ૮꒰◞ ˕ ◟ ྀི꒱ა rotting vs resting

i know how upsetting life can be sometimes. you want to get better but something happens and life just keeps pushing you down, and you fall further and further into a rut. and because of that, you start to feel even worse. "why am i not doing as good as the others?" , "why am i so xyz?" , "why am i not like her?" etc etc. cmon my love. this isn't the time to compare yourself to others and feel even worse but to slowly dig up the soil, and find out what is actually going on. ♡ just take a day off, babe seriously. sometimes you just need to let yourself be upset and be unproductive yk? there is nooo shame in being unproductive as hell for a day or two. take your time and have a good break. now talking about breaks, we have a problem. are you really resting or rotting? RESTING makes you feel good, happy and energised ROTTING makes you feel guilty, unproductive, sluggish a lot of the times, instead of resting and recharging our minds, we are feeding our minds with lots and lots of brainrot, indulging in bad habits in the name of "resting", avoiding important work etc which in return make us feel even worse! well, resting isn't supposed to do that, right? resting is supposed to recharge you, get you ready to fight again. so next time you choose to 'rest', be mindful. do not indulge in things that you know will make you feel worse. doomscrolling is not resting. stalking your friends is not self care. intentionally avoiding important work is not self care. binge watching series by wrecking your sleep schedule and then feel guilty abt being on your phone all day is not self care. self care and resting is doing things you love which will nourish your mind and distract you for a little while, so that you can take a step back and just be aive for a bit.

an example of a day off could be smth like this ( just an example, please remember that everyone's life is different and so is yours. adjust accordingly ) : ʚɞ do not set any alarm, let yourself wake up naturally and when you do, pick up that book you have been meaning to read for a long time. ʚɞ have breakfast ʚɞ do 1 thing you really love and which makes you super happy (dancing, singing, acting etc) ʚɞ talk to someone or write abt how you are feeling ʚɞ try to create smth. a quick diy project, a lil sketch, crochet, a new dance move, a song cover, a poem, a video, photography etc ʚɞ do 1 imp work which you have been putting off (homework, stdy for a test etc) ʚɞ delete instagram for a bit and surround yourself with positivity. use tumblr, youtube, pinterest instead. ʚɞ go outside, even for just 5 minutes. ʚɞ maybe call up your friend/s and play smth ʚɞ take cute pics of urself ʚɞ maybe post smth cute on tumblr wink wink ʚɞ have a cute night ritual and then go to bed. ₊⊹ monitor what you have been consuming lately what you feed your mind and body actually matters (lol what a shocker). so tell me, have you been eating well? sleeping well? surrounding yourself with positivity? or have you been consuming content which further degrades your mental and physical health? try to replace unhealthy junk with healthy stuff. fix your fyp, choose "not interested" for posts which no longer resonate with you. declutter and reorganise. i really, really suggest trying a quick digital detox for a day. ⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡ talk to someone who you feel safe with. you can even text me, ill try my best to respond <3 please talk to someone when you feel upset, communicate bbgs, communicate! even if it is hard and uncomfortable. if you feel like you have no one to talk to, talk to a stuffed animal or a tree or yourself. let those thoughts and feelings out, don't hold them inside your body. release them. observe them. try to understand them. but never let negative emotions become a part of you. they come and go, like any other emotion. you will be just fine. even when it feels like it is the end of the world love you always,
