Happy November 1st but most importantly Happy Birthday Hello Kitty đź’— and Happy 50th anniversary Hello Kitty forever!
Remember this,
every dream requires discipline.
You can travel the world and study
students and their behaviors
and their mindsets
there is a science behind achievement.
And when you study the most
successful students in the world
we find that they are responsible,
they are motivated
they are self-managed,
they are self-aware,
they have a long-lasting student mentality
even after they have passed the test
because they understand
that life is a test
and in life there are ups
and there are downs.
And so accept the responsibility,
see yourself as primarily responsible
for your outcomes and your experiences.
You are going to need discipline.
Motivation will help you get started
but discipline is going to keep you
on the road to your destiny.
You got to be self-motivated.
You got to find purpose in what you do
by discovering personally meaningful
goals and dreams.
If you're going to be a successful student,
if you're going to come out on top
you've got to start managing your time.
You plan and you take action
in pursuit of your goals and dreams.

Unpopular opinion —
Cute but overpriced skincare products, trendy supplements, and aesthetic workout gear won’t be the key to your glow up.
Taking retinol but not eating your vegetables will not make your skin age less
Hydration isn’t just about serums; it’s about drinking water
Collage production isn’t just about fancy creams, it’s about eating nutrient rich foods like leafy greens and berries
Glow doesn’t come from overpriced skincare, it comes from balanced meals, less sugar, and good sleep
Moving your body consistently, even if it’s walking is better than bying every workout set you’ve seen on instagram
Don’t give in to the trap of consumerism disguised as self-care. Your glow up isn’t for the sale. It’s in the basics.
November will be full of blessings
November will be full of good physical health
November will be full of good news
November will be full of good luck
November will be full of good mental health
November will be full of good energy
November will be full of answered prayers
November will be full of peace
November will be full of love
2025
BE A STUDENT OF WHAT YOU ADMIRE
DO IT BADLY RATHER THAN NOT AT ALL
TO DESPAIR IS TO CEDE VICTORY TO THOSE WHO DO NOT DESERVE IT
BROADEN YOUR CULTURAL HORIZONS
REVEL IN THE ANALOGUE
ACTION ABSORBS ANXIETY
GRIEF IS PRODUCTIVE; GUILT IS NOT
slow down, you’re doing fine
breath in, breath out. there’s no rush, no deadline, no need for desperation or worries. everything happens within you so lay back and relax. breath in, breath out. let it come to you, go with the flow, be at peace. breath in, breath out. it’s inevitable, natural, familiar. you have everything you need, you know everything you have to know so trust yourself and let go of the control. breath in, breath out. the impatience, the frustration are unfounded, recognise your feelings, name your emotions but don’t let them overpower you. you’re the one in charge, everything revolves around you. breath in, breath out. the past is gone, future doesn’t exist, presence is the only thing that matters. live in the moment, be now. breath in , breath out. you’re fine, just breath.

make a list of your top priorities: Figure out what actually matters to you right now. This isn’t about what you should care about, but what truly takes up your energy—school, your health, building confidence, relationships, etc. Keep the list short (3–5 things max) so you can focus. ‎
create a morning and night routine: Routines give your brain structure. You don’t need a 10-step ritual—just something consistent. Morning = stretch, drink water, check your planner. Night = wash your face, no phone 30 mins before bed, quick journal. That alone is enough. ‎
check in with yourself and journal frequently: Journaling doesn’t mean writing novels. Just note how you feel, what’s bothering you, what went well, or what’s on your mind. Use prompts if you’re stuck. The point is to stay connected to yourself instead of spiraling in your head. ‎
start saving money: Even a small amount every week matters. Start tracking what you spend. Make a savings goal (emergency fund, a trip, new laptop). Try a rule like “save 10% of what I get” or “no impulse purchases until Sunday.” ‎
learn something new every day: It doesn’t have to be academic. Listen to a podcast, read one article, Google something random. Write down one interesting thing you learned to help you remember it—and to remind yourself that you’re growing. ‎
spend time with the people you love: Text them. Call them. Make plans, even if you’re busy. Shared time matters. It’s easy to get caught up in fixing yourself and forget that love and connection are part of being okay. ‎
keep track of your sleep, hydration, nutrition: Start observing how your body feels. Are you getting 7–8 hours of sleep? Drinking enough water (2L/day)? Eating regularly? You don’t have to go full fitness-tracker, but noticing patterns can help you feel way more in control. ‎
list down your stress triggers: What causes you anxiety, procrastination, or overwhelm? Write them down. Knowing your triggers helps you build systems around them. If social events drain you, plan alone time after. If deadlines stress you, start earlier. ‎
clean your room: Your environment reflects your mental state. Tidy up the space where you spend the most time. It doesn’t need to be perfect—just put things back in place, wipe down surfaces, and open a window. It shifts your mindset. ‎
practice gratitude and/or meditate: You don’t have to be spiritual. Just note what’s good. Try writing 3 small things you’re grateful for, or sitting quietly for 5 minutes. It helps your mind slow down and notice what’s okay, even on rough days. ‎
set boundaries: Say no when you need to. Don’t reply right away if you’re drained. Make rules for yourself about how much you give to others. Boundaries protect your energy—they’re not selfish, they’re necessary. ‎
declutter your phone, laptop, etc: Digital mess counts. Delete apps you don’t use, clear out your camera roll and downloads, organize folders. It helps reduce mental clutter and makes everything feel more intentional. ‎
plan 1 self care act every day: Something small, just for you. A walk, skincare, journaling, no-screen time, reading. Doesn’t have to be fancy or expensive—just consistent and kind to yourself.
