#Self growth

[cocofetti]

This is huge! People are not static and are subject to change. I definitely understand it being hard to forgive. But as a Christian, I often think about the fact that Jesus already paid the cost for my sins. It doesn't matter if you feel like I'm right or wrong, good or bad. JESUS ALREADY PAID THE COST! I am already forgiven!! That's how forgiveness works. Like even when people feel like you don't deserve it, guess what, IM ALREADY MOVING ON TO BEING A BETTER PERSON! You can't have today and yesterday at the same time. You will lose today trying to catch up from yesterday or you can let go of yesterday and move forward with today. If you was shitty yesterday, that should make that choice really easy for you. Take the present, grow, learn, and be better than yesterday! People may not forgive you and they might not feel like you deserve better, but you are already forgiven. Live your life like you have been forgiven and I promise forgiveness will come. (Forgiveness includes repentance, but that's a post for another day...)

the concept and idea of “you can always start trying to be a better person” is extremely important to me both in media and irl and i continue to be deeply deeply disturbed by the trend on this site pushing that these ideas in media are bad writing or even morally reprehensible

because theyd rather someone stay terrible or just straight up die than become a better person 

from a compassionate point of view it’s deeply distressing and from a pragmatic point of view it’s outright frustrating

it’s fucked up.

Let’s tap in into our Feminine energy.

As y’all know, November been trying to kick my a** but baby i am still here. Striving! Something that has helped me doing my best and feeling my best was to tap into the goddess within me.

I have been feeling like a star, the shiniest one of them all! I go through my day feeling like an early 2000’s vixen because i have been acting like it. I smell good, just got my most of my body laser so you know my skin is glissining and just overall feeling like the sweetest girly pop ever.

But not only that, i feel strong, confident and just powerful. As if all my chakras were perfectly aligned and everything is just going my way.

And the reason why is that i have tapped into my feminine energy and here are few tips to do so:

Cultivate your mind: expand and quiet you mind. Meditation does help mucho a lot!

Embrace your creativity : Make art, be art! Turned yourself into literally a piece of art by the way you dress, carry yourself and all.

Be compassionate : listen to others and be kind to you and others. Honestly being nice makes me prettier inside and out!

Connection: Connecting my girls, my family, you guys uplifts me and gives me so much inspiration.

Balance: finding balance is key, allow yourself to have down time.

Strengthen your spirituality: find your inner goddess, meditate, reconnect with yourself and nature. I often do some aromatherapy and it is literally life changing.

All that to see, we deserve the very best and feel like our best self.

Give yourself the very best, don’t wait on things to happen just do it. Like i am currently writing this with my Juicy Couture pyjama and robe, skin care done, nails and eyebrow freshly done by yours truly! I give my self the best and i feel in tune with the feminine goddess within me.

On that note, mucho kisses

2025 AFFIRMATION

(for motivation!)

In 2025, I am committing to a transformation that goes beyond the surface. I am done holding myself back, done listening to doubt, and done settling for anything less than the best version of myself. I am worthy of all the greatness I desire, and I will work relentlessly to bring my vision to life. Every setback I face is simply a lesson in disguise, pushing me to grow stronger, wiser, and more resilient. This year, I will not only improve my outward appearance, but I will rebuild my mind, body, and spirit from within. I will focus on my goals with unwavering determination, and no challenge will be too great to overcome. I am capable of achieving everything I’ve ever dreamed of, and I believe in my potential. I am becoming someone unstoppable, someone who shines in every room they walk into, someone who is proud of how far they’ve come. 2025 is the year I rise, and I am ready to see the incredible person I am about to become.

So theres really nothing that makes me special. I hate talking this way about myself but Im a realist and theres really nothing. I wanna focus on believing in myself to gain self-love back, but I have nothing to say Im proud of myself for. I know youve talked about celebrating small wins, but what small wins can I focus on to strengthen my belief in myself if I don't have any???

Celebrating the Small Wins (When you Feel like you Don’t Have Any)

Maybe you can't find something to be proud of yourself for. Oops, I'm going to get unfollowed by a few for saying that; but if you truly think there's nothing to celebrate yourself about (for now), then I'm not going to argue with that.

But there are things you can applaud yourself for during the day that doesn't have anything to do with you/accomplishments; things that aren't necessarily "accomplishments" but little "hell yeah's" throughout the day.

But realize this: One day you'll find things to be proud of yourself for... but you gotta continue working on yourself. But I applaud you for actually recognizing that you need to start celebrating yourself more. That's the first small win right there :)

Anyway, here are some ideas that can be small wins throughout the day that might help with your confidence.

Did you wake up this morning with a positive thought? Good. Small win.

Were you patient when something didn't go your way? Good. Small win.

Did you think of that challenge as an opportunity? Good. Small win.

Were you able to celebrate that person's success or accomplishment without comparing yourself? Good. Small win.

Did you recognize one thing that you've improved on recently? Good. Small win.

Did you avoid procrastinating on that one task? Good. Small win.

Did you give yourself credit for trying? Good. Small win.

Did you ask someone for advice on self-improvement? Yes you did!!!! Small win!

Did you wake up when your alarm went off this morning? Good. Small win.

Were you finally able to complete that task you've been avoiding? Good. Small win.

I can go on and on, but there are so many little details throughout the day that you can reflect on and congratulate yourself for; they don't always have to be you finding the cure for cancer.

One of the most dangerous things in the world is not being able to say no to people because you don't want to upset them or dissapoint them. This will completely ruin your life in every way possible, at work, in your private life, your sex life and your friendships. It's a way of removing your own consent in your own decisions and go against your wishes, it is always a crime against yourself. Let yourself have a say. Upsetting people is better than traumatizing yourself.

stop ignoring yourself. fix your posture, get a fresh haircut, drink water, take care of your skin, eat food that gives you energy, declutter your space, take time to rest, workout, do mindful meditation, fix your sleep schedule. when you feel/look good, you do good. invest in yourself, put the effort you deserve.

Hi Echo,, how can I create a morning or evening routine that aligns with my goals and purpose? x

Morning/Evening Routine that WILL Help with your Goals and Purpose

Yes. I’ll give you my morning routine which is 1000000% the reason why I’m at where I am today.

1. I wake up around 7am.

2. I workout for an hour.

3. I take a shower and get ready.

4. I go to work.

(I don’t eat in the morning)

That’s my morning routine. My OG followers know I’m against morning routines. They create such a false sense of productivity and by the time you’re done with your morning routine of a million things to do, you’re tired for the rest of the day lol. I don’t spend time writing in a journal for an hour or levitate in my living room for 3 hours while breathing in affirmations.

You want a morning routine to help you with your goals? You wake up, you exercise, you get ready for the day by showering and doing everything else, and you work. I just saved you so much time in your morning to actually get your things done.

As far as my evening routine goes:

1. Shower

2. Do my dishes, clean my kitchen, take out the trash

3. Make sure laundry is done so I have something to wear for the gym and for work/errands the next day

4. Be on my phone until I fall asleep.

No, I don’t “turn off all electronics 10 hours before I go to bed”. My sleep schedule is fine.

The thing is: morning routines and evening routines are CONTENT IDEAS for CONTENT CREATORS! I’m one myself; I never made content like this but I’m telling you… I probably know most of the LA influencers you guys follow and they don’t do even 10% of what they say on the internet.

You don’t need a routine. Habits, sure. But the most productive thing you can do in the morning is to get to work as quickly as possible and in the evenings, RELAX.
