how to level up during the winter arc

winter arc ; oct to jan

1. build a strong routine - examples: wake up immediately and journal, don't scroll in the morning, meditate, drink 1 glass of water

2. create realistic goals - be more practical. when we set big goals and they don't happen we brush them off and say 'i'll just do it next week' hence delaying action

3. visualize - visualize how the highest person of yourself looks like

4. be consistent - wake up at the same time, be consistent, and don't scroll when you wake up, just take action everyday ! things don't just happen overnight

5. habit stacking - habit stacking follows a simple formula of "when i do [current habit], i will do [new habit]." for example: "when i drink my coffee in the morning, i will listen to an educational podcast."

6. use habit trackers/to-do lists

7. don't give up when your day isn't perfect - be flexible and understand that not everything has to be checked off, life happens

8. don't go through hardcore restrictions - since it's festival season, there are chances that you might not be able tick off some habits but that's okay !

9. listen to your body - do what you feel is best for you, don't beat yourself up if you aren't able to do something

let go of the feelings you've had in the past year, "i wish i did this" blah blah. don't beat yourself over it. just move forward. why keep waiting for tomorrow when you can start today? show up for yourself. why do i want to achieve this goal? it has to be for you.

just. start. now.

all about mobility

what is mobility & how is it different from flexibility?

mobility is the ability of the joints to move through their full range of motion, while flexibility is the ability of the muscles to temporarily stretch.

why do mobility training?

there are many different benefits of mobility training, including:

increased flexibility

reduced risk of injury

improving joint & muscle health

improving range of motion

improving posture

gaining muscle strength

balance & stability

reducing pain & stiffness in the body

when should i start?

now! there’s a common misconception that you shouldn’t need mobility training until you are in your later years and your mobility starts to decline, but mobility training is useful no matter your age. in fact, the sooner you start, the less mobility & joint problems you will experience as you age.

how often should i train mobility?

mobility training is safe and beneficial to do daily, but ideally, you should try to train mobility at least 5 times per week for at least 5-10 minutes each time.

Fun ways to move your body

1. listen to upbeat music

not too long ago, i did a running workout while listening to a few upbeat songs. it made the workout go by so much quicker!

2. wear cute clothes

buying cute workout gear can motivate you to workout more often! but if you know that you hate working out, don't buy a lot of workout clothes just to not wear them.

3. do multiple workouts

instead doing one lengthy workout that only focuses on glutes, do a few workouts that all focus on different things.

4. do a themed workout

for example, do a workout that uses a specific artist's songs. or do a holiday themed workout.

5. reward yourself

if you say "i will get 2 hours of screen time if i complete this workout," you will be way more motivated to start and finish!

Week planer based on the planetary ruler

Does your weekly schedule align with the planet days of the week? Let's try a look how to plan weekly tasks based on the planetary ruler of the day.

Astro being coming in...

Monday - the Moon

The moon rules emotions and intuition, feminine attributes. The moon also rules Cancer, the mother figure of the zodiac. On Mndays most people don’t feel particularly lively and moon is responsible for it. The moon can often bring an emotional and shadowy energy to the day. This is a great day for reflection and setting yourself up for the week in a way that aligns with your needs. If you’re able to, take this as a chill, no expectations kind of day. Focus on planning, organizing, and easing into the week.

Here’s how to make the most of the Moon’s energy: • Prioritize relaxation and quiet time • Spend time in nature (especially by the water) • Do some emotional self-care • Journal • Practice light and flowy movement (yoga, walking, or stretching)

I like doing easy excercises, meditation, and reading a book every Monday to honor the Moon so I put them on a recurring task.

Tuesday: Mars 

Mars is the planet of drive and power. Mars also rules Aries, the passionate and fiery wild child of the zodiac.  The energy from Mars makes Tuesday a great day to get things done. While Monday was for refueling, Tuesday gives us a full tank of gas for taking action. You may feel more enthusiastic and passionate on Tuesday. That makes it a great day to start new projects, crush your to-do list, and do the hard things that you won’t have the energy for at the end of the week.

Here’s how to make the most of Mars’ energy: • Get started on new projects • Knock out your to-do list • Declutter and clean • Do something that scares you just a little • Get your heart racing with an intense workout (think kickboxing, HIIT, or a team sport)

Wednesday: Mercury 

Mercury is the planet of intellect and communication. Mercury rules Gemini and Virgo, the chatterboxes of the zodiac. Since Mercury is the planet of communication, this is a great day for meetings, sending emails, and starting new conversations. It’s likely you already communicate with friends more on Wednesdays than any other day without realizing it! From a creative standpoint, this is also a great day for brainstorming, writing, planning, and organizing your ideas. If you happen to be reading this blog post on a Wednesday, today would be a great day to try scheduling your calendar with the planets!

Here’s how to make the most of Mercury’s energy: • Brainstorm ideas • Schedule meetings and calls • Sign contracts (if Mercury’s not in retrograde) • Clear out your email inbox • Plan your editorial calendar

Thursday: Jupiter 

Jupiter is the planet of growth and abundance. Jupiter also rules Sagittarius, the wisdom-seeker and world-traveler of the zodiac. Thursday has a calmer energy than Wednesday, but there’s a lot of energy for expansion and growth. There’s something about Thursdays that lights a fire underneath you, and many people consider this the most productive day of the week.  This is a great day for learning, practicing gratitude, and working on your finances. If abundance is your goal, Thursday is the day to attract it.

Here’s how to make the most of Jupiter’s energy: • Learn something new • Practice gratitude • Make a vision board • Review your budget • Start a new hobby or habit

Friday: Venus 

Venus is the planet of love and beauty. Venus also rules Taurus and Libra, two signs that appreciate beauty and comfort. Friday is typically known as the date night of the week and for good reason. Friday is all about celebrating love, connection, and belonging. This is a great day to appreciate the people you love in your life, and that includes appreciating yourself. As far as work goes, this is a great day to woo your boss or coworkers with new ideas and to generally try and go about your work with lightheartedness.

Here’s how to make the most of Venus’ energy: • Wear your favorite outfit or try a new hairstyle • Treat yourself to flowers or something else beautiful • Make a fancy dinner and watch a movie • Call your friends and tell them how much you adore them • Visit an art gallery or a place that feels beautiful to you

Saturday: Saturn 

Saturn is the planet of structure and discipline. Saturn rules Capricorn, the father figure of the zodiac. Saturday is typically associated with fun. For most of us, it’s the first day of the weekend.  But Saturn actually has a stern and stoic energy about it that can be useful for getting things done. Whereas Sunday is a day for the inner child, Saturday is a day to be an adult. That makes it a great day to do yard work, clean the house, plan for the week ahead, work on your habits, and tie up any loose ends on projects. Any work done today will pay off in the long run.

Here’s how to make the most of Saturn’s energy: • Organize and declutter your home • Prepare for the next week (plan your to-do list, meal plan, etc.) • Focus on academic tasks like studying or learning • Finish up projects or tasks from the previous week • Make progress on your goals

Sunday: The Sun

The Sun represents creativity, expression, and vitality. The Sun rules Leo, one of the most creative signs of the zodiac. Sunday is typically the day of rest, and its positive energy makes it a great time to relax and unwind. The Sun encourages radiance, growth, and illumination, which makes Sunday a good day to express your creativity. The vitality of the sun makes it perfect for spending time with loved ones or working on your inner reflection and growth. Try not to schedule anything too demanding and instead look at Sunday as a day of play.  Here’s how to make the most of the Sun’s energy: • Prioritize rest and relaxation • Express yourself creatively – whatever that means to you • Go grocery shopping and cook a delicious meal • Spend time outside • Connect with family and friends

Do you notice any patterns in your productivity and moods on certain days of the week? Where is your schedule already aligned with the planet days of the week?

୨ৎ my favourite workouts .ᐟ

01, PRE-WORKOUT .ᐟ

this is optional, but for me, i have very limited flexibility in my legs. flexibility exercises (like the one above!) were recommended to me by my physio! if you're the kind of person who cant touch their toes or can't put their feet flat on the ground whilst doing downward dog, this might be something you want to try!

02, BACK POSTURE .ᐟ

having good posture will not only drastically help you in the long run, but is also a super attractive trait that people tend to take notice of! this workout is probably my favourite and the one I've seen the most results from. I know a lot of other people on this app have recommended it too!

03, INNER THIGHS .ᐟ

hinafit 😍😍 love her. she posts a lot of pilates-style stuff too, if you want to check her out! i love this specific workout by her, i could really feel it working as i was doing it!!

04, SILENT .ᐟ

as someone who lives with other people, i love a silent workout. however, sometimes it can be hard to find silent workouts that actually give you results. this one works so well for me!!

05, FULL BODY .ᐟ

If you're interested in longer workouts, i literally cannot recommend this one enough!! it definitely is pretty exhausting so make sure to drink water and rejuvenate with food!

05, TUMMY / ABS .ᐟ

this ones super easy but super effective

i will definitely post a more in-depth and updated list later down the track, but i hope you enjoy this for now!!

cultivating your hobbies to become that girl

as summer starts to end, i find my days a little emptier and im full of anticipation for the coming academic year. but the last thing i want to do is waste the last part of summer so now is the perfect time to cultivate or begin a new hobby, focusing on four areas to level up your body, skills, mind and passions! enjoy angels and i hope this gives you some inspiration.

────୨ৎ────────୨ৎ────────୨ৎ───────

body

having a hobby that helps you reach your dream body, maintain a healthy lifestyle or just help with your mental health (as moving your body always does!) is such a good idea. the past few months my workout schedule has decreased due to the amount of schoolwork i have had and exam season so now is the perfect time for me to get more disciplined and build up a good workout scheme. my hobbies based around my body are pilates or yoga, both of which help me with my fitness goals. here are some more ideas/inspiration for some hobbies you could start:

‘hot girl walks’ - set a goal for your daily steps and go on walks everyday to help you achieve that.

running daily.

swimming daily.

tennis or badminton daily.

joining a sports club such as football or gymnastics.

dance - could be by yourself at home following dance workouts!

strength training.

starting a fitness challenge - such as a month long youtube challenge.

start making your own fitness content! film videos or write tutorials.

bike riding daily.

skills

finding a hobby that helps you develop/cultivate your skills is so important. mine personally is cooking/baking as it helps me focus on giving my body what it needs, becoming more independent and providing for those i love. here are some ideas/inspiration:

painting.

making your own clothes - sewing, knitting or crocheting.

gardening.

scrapbooking.

photography.

drawing.

writing - poetry, novels, articles or anything similar.

acting - helps with public speaking, confidence and making friends.

jewellery making.

chess or a similar intense mental game - cultivates your thinking skills and mind.

mind

finding a hobby that helps you mentally, especially if relevant to schoolwork or career plans is so helpful. mine is reading/engaging with literature as not only does it align with my academic work but also helps me with how i think, view the world and allows me to be more empathetic.

mindfulness/meditation.

learning to play an instrument.

writing/researching around your subjects.

budgeting - good way of keeping track of and understanding money even if you aren’t planning on doing anything economics based!

journalling or keeping a diary.

joining/starting a book club.

starting a studyblr, study youtube channel etc.

learning a new language.

tutoring someone - great way of helping yourself learn as well!

joining a debate team.

passions

finding a hobby around one of your passions is such a fun and unique way of engaging in things you enjoy. mine personally is visiting museums/areas of historical importance as i am so passionate about history.

visiting art galleries.

attending the theatre/cinema.

going to live music events.

visiting libraries/book shops - growing your wish list, finding new book inspo etc!

going to cooking classes, restaurants or cafes.

travelling to new areas (could be local or international) - perhaps to develop language skills, find places to hike etc.

attending lectures on subjects youre interested in.

watching documentaries or video essays.

starting a new course - i do several history courses, my most recent was on European empires!

making a blog, channel, instagram etc for a new hobby or interest.

────୨ৎ────────୨ৎ────────୨ৎ─────── thank you for reading angels! hopefully this will help us all on our hobby journeys and have given you ideas of hobbies to try or develop for the end of summer or just in general! love, m.

From Morning Routine to Nighttime Rituals | IT GIRL DIARIES

Becoming an IT Girl means embracing a lifestyle that balances beauty, productivity, and mindfulness. Let's take a look in the daily life of your ideal IT Girl...

Morning: Energizing Start 🎀

The IT Girl starts her day early, around 6 AM, with a refreshing glass of hot lemon water to detox and hydrate. She follows this with a quick workout, like indoor cycling or yoga, to get her blood flowing and boost her energy for the day ahead. After her workout, she treats herself to a skincare routine with gentle cleansers, serums, and sunscreen, focusing on achieving that effortless glow.

For breakfast, she enjoys a nutritious green juice, packed with spinach, kale, and ginger, which supports her clear skin and nourishes her body from within. She also takes a few moments for mindfulness practice, like journaling or meditation, to set positive intentions for the day.

Mid-Morning: Work Mode 🎀

By 9 AM, she’s in full productivity mode. To stay organized, she uses a to-do list or productivity app to break her day into manageable tasks. Whether she’s running a business, working on creative projects, or attending meetings, she prioritizes efficiency while taking short breaks to prevent burnout.

Lunch: Balanced and Light 🎀

For lunch, the IT Girl opts for a light, clean meal, like a salad with lean protein or healthy fats. She avoids processed foods and sugars, sticking to a nutrient-rich diet that keeps her feeling energized. During her break, she might catch up on reading or listen to a podcast that aligns with her personal growth goals.

Afternoon: Social and Active 🎀

In the afternoon, she may meet with friends, colleagues, or network with like-minded individuals. Socializing is a key part of her lifestyle, but she also remains selective about the company she keeps, ensuring her circle is supportive and inspiring.

To stay active, she might sneak in a quick walk or stretch, especially if she’s been working at a desk. Physical movement is important, even during a busy day, to maintain that IT Girl energy.

Evening: Wind Down in Style 🎀

As the day winds down, the IT Girl prepares for a relaxing evening. After finishing her tasks, she switches to self-care mode with an evening skincare routine, focusing on cleansing, moisturizing, and perhaps a face mask. She also enjoys a warm bath or some light stretching to soothe her body.

For dinner, she sticks to whole, unprocessed foods, such as grilled vegetables and lean proteins. The evening is her time to unwind, reflect, and recharge for the next day. She might do some light reading, indulge in a creative hobby, or spend time with loved ones.

Nighttime: Sleep Rituals 🎀

By 10 PM, it’s time for her nighttime rituals. The IT Girl knows the importance of quality sleep for her beauty and productivity. She turns off screens at least an hour before bed and enjoys a cup of herbal tea. Finally, she practices gratitude journaling to reflect on her day, setting a positive tone for the next morning.

fall is here. It's time to lock in. weight loss edition.

intro:

after taking a miniature break I have finally decided to track my weight loss journey here, to keep me motivated and to track my progress.

there are approximately 3 months left in the year (without september) and in that time I want to focus on my weight loss and lock in. I will take a break from creating notion templates and focus on skills and hobbies.

why 3 months? simply because that's what's left in this year and also because most people start seeing results after 3 months.

details:

so I started this challenge last week and here are a few things I've achieved last week. I worked out for the whole week. I hit 10k steps daily from tuesday didn't do so well on monday. I also completed my daily workout cycle for the most part.

✿ my main goal is losing weight really just reaching my weight goal which is 42kg - p.s I'm short

✿ I will try my best to update daily and I also have a physical journal that I will update every night before bed

here are my current stats

𝑮𝒐𝒂𝒍𝒔

( 🍨 ) 63𝒌𝒈 Current weight: 59.1kg

( ) 57𝒌𝒈

( ) 52𝒌𝒈

( ) 49𝒌𝒈

( ) 46𝒌𝒈

( ) 42𝒌𝒈 gw

( ) 40𝒌𝒈 ugw

i do think the stakes are not in my favour and I might not reach my goal at the end of the year but at least I can try.

so I will be uploading my workouts weekly, at the beginning of every week as to keep myself motivated to do them and for as many that would like to go on this journey with me. at the end of those 3 months, I will update this blog post.

✿ This is the habits i want to achieve each day also I plan to have a set eating time between 12pm and 8pm everyday. i will write about what I eat I'm also not going to be really dieting or cutting out foods just minimizing my portions

habit tracking:

maintain calorie deficit of 1200 hit 10k steps 7+ hrs of sleep 2l of water 30mins+ of movement journal progress movement cycle [3/3] eat between 12 pm and 8 pm

✿ : my days will mainly be filled up with reading (adrinette fics), language learning, crocheting, organizing, blogging, Bible study, watching(might continue Gilmore Girls) and more

decided to add workouts to my daily updates instead

i will start updating tomorrow

painting

hey there! glad you’re back. let’s talk about why painting is such a fantastic hobby. 🎨

painting is a wonderful way to express yourself and unwind. it helps you focus, reduces stress, and boosts creativity. plus, you get to create something beautiful that you can be proud of. it’s like a mini escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life.

now, if you’re ready to start painting, here’s a simple step-by-step guide to get you going:

choose your medium: decide whether you want to start with acrylics, oils, or watercolors. acrylics are great for beginners because they’re easy to work with and dry quickly.

gather your supplies: you’ll need some basic materials like paints, brushes, a palette, canvas or paper, and some water or solvent for cleaning your brushes.

set up your workspace: find a comfortable spot with good lighting. lay down some newspaper or a drop cloth to protect your surfaces.

learn the basics: start with some basic techniques like blending, layering, and brush strokes. you can find plenty of tutorials online to help you get started.

start with simple projects: pick something easy to paint, like a landscape or a still life. don’t worry about making it perfect – just have fun and experiment.

practice regularly: the more you paint, the better you’ll get. try to set aside some time each week to work on your skills.

get inspired: look at other artists’ work for inspiration. visit galleries, browse online, or join a local art group to connect with other painters.

here are a couple of youtube videos to help you get started:

happy painting! what kind of painting are you interested in trying first? 🌟

| September goals

1. Daily Self-Care Routine

Start small by adding one or two self-care habits to your daily routine, like stretching for 5 minutes in the morning or writing down three goals for the day ( like drinking more water ).

2. Be kind to yourself

Tip: Create a habit of switching your mindset and words. Try saying “I am capable of achieving my goals” or “I deserve to take care of myself.” instead of discarding your needs and feelings.

3. Add little challenges to your day

Try a 30-day personal challenge, like journaling every morning, starting a workout routine, or reading 10 pages of any book you like each day.

4. Dealing with burnout

Reserve one day of the week for self-care and doing things you enjoy. Even if you can't take the full day for yourself try to make it at least two hours for a good and relaxing shower, taking care of your skin, hair and body. Maybe you can even treat yourself to your favourite meal!

5. Productivity Hacks

Break tasks into smaller, manageable chunks, and set a timer (like the Pomodoro technique—50 minutes of work followed by a 10-minute break) to stay productive without feeling overwhelmed.

Tip: If a task takes less than two minutes to complete (like answering a quick email or tidying up your desk), do it immediately. This prevents small tasks from piling up and becoming overwhelming.

That's all!! Tell me if you'd like more tips.

Stay healthy, stay happy and be kind!

#the-blue-room

[astro-pi-schedule]

𝜗𝜚 my extensive morning routine - for the girlies who need their alone time ,, especially before a hectic day ++ free printable !!

drink water

this is an absolute game-changer ! bonus if its warm or room temperature, really gets the metabolism going as well as soothes your throat !!

make your bed

this makes my room look MUCH neater, and gives me peace of mind + incentive not to get back under the covers and doze off again TT

meditation

another thing that calms me down greatly and gets me focused and set for the day, i really recommend lavendaire, her meditations are top-tier and she has several lengths to pick from

morning yoga

debloat yoga or stretching is a must for me, it helps aid my digestion as well as reduce bloating in the morning.

exercise

i like to do either shirlyn kim, april han, chloe ting or momomi workouts in the morning ending with a hinafit's full body stretch that's twenty minutes long. i use chloe ting's workouts as cardio mostly and then a set of targeted hiit from momomi and relaxing pilates from shirlyn kim and april han.

i am also trying to go on walks in the morning as well TT

skincare + dental care

my skincare routine in the morning is cleanser + toner + hydrogel + sunscreen + matte sunstick + lip balm and my dental care routine is herbal toothpaste + fluoride toothpaste + mouthwash. i wash my hands between and before/after steps.

shower routine

i use a pumice stone and sugar scrub in the shower to exfoliate along w baby soap and shower gel to clean up. i apply three layers of moisturizer + coconut oil on getting out !!

reading

in the mornings, i like to either annotate classics or read my weekly self-help book or just read educational nonfiction and take notes in my commonplace journal about them.

journalling

i fill out five affirmations, five things i'm grateful for as well as my intentions for the day. i also write down what would make my day great, as well as habits to focus on (at least three)

planning

i plan w/ my planners, notebook and wall calendar spread as well as notion and a habit app, as well as google sheets.

that wraps up this post, and here is the printable checklist spanning four days

[astro-pi-schedule]

GLOW UP GUIDE FOR 2025⠀

READ: On average, it takes more than 2 months before a new behavior becomes automatic — 66 days to be exact. And considering that 2025 is precisely these many days away, why not start with our glow up plan already?

Physical Glow Up-

BODY

— 5-10K steps a day.

— 7-8 hours of sleep.

— workout everyday for 1 hr atleast- yoga/stretching/pilates/cardio. a workout may take one hour, but your mood will be boosted for the next 12 hours.

— posture training.

— sunlight exposure after waking up for at least 10 minutes.

NUTRITION

— 2-3 liters of water every day.

— no caffeine, pick green tea or matcha instead.

— avoid sugars as much as you can.

— high protein diet, pre and probiotics.

— more fruits and veggies (+ green smoothies if you like).

— no junk/processed food/trans fat.

— no eating after 8 pm.

SKINCARE

— be clear on your skin type (oily, dry, combination, sensitive).

— once you're clear, use these accordingly- cleanser, toner, targeted serum, eye cream, moisturizer, sunscreen (≥50 spf).

— be shamelessly selfish to your career and mental health, remove anyone or anything that doesn't align with your priorities and wellbeing.

— boost your brain health by these 4 neuroscience tools:

difficult first: start your day with the most difficult task (cortisol and dopamine are high in the body meaning that your body/mind is primed to work).

rest your eyes: introduce a micro-pause after learning by resting/closing your eyes - will help retain information better.

tomorrow's worries: write tomorrow's to-do list before bed as it is proven to be effective in helping you fall asleep.

find time to play: engage in low-stake play. can be anything you find fun but where the outcome doesn't matter (induces neuroplasticity + reduces stress).
