#YOU GOT THIS

[kiera-raelyn]

I've seen this before and love it.

To extend it a bit, it's not just "is" and "have" - it's all the "to be" verbs (is, are, was, were, be, been) and all the forms of have (have, has, had). Ctrl+F those nine words in your document and weep at how much you're probably going to need to rewrite. Just talking about it makes me painfully aware of how many times I used them in this post and I started editing them out as I typed.

Also, on "had" specifically: frankly, you very rarely need to use it. I see a lot of people use it in conjunction with another verb (had +(verb)-ing) and, more often than not, they don't actually need the had. Just make the second verb past tense.

Also, also: you will find as you edit more that there are other words you tend to lean on and overuse, so you'll want to add those to your list of "review words," i.e. words you need to review in the editing process. Realistically, the above is a good exercise, and I 100% recommend it, but ultimately, it's not that you're not allowed to ever use those words. You should just review your use of them and become aware of how easily they creep into your writing and make it weaker. Especially if you're looking at them as sets, as I recommend here. You'll likely find multiple uses of each of them in every paragraph. It's daunting to try to change the majority of then (frankly, I aim for only 2-3 uses of each on a page, and even that can be a lot. But that's just for myself). But your writing will become a lot better if you do. The more you do it in the editing phase, the more you're changing your mindset, and the less you'll use them in future writing phases.

It's trite, and annoying to hear, but practice, practice, practice. The more you do something, the easier it gets.

So... I found this and now it keeps coming to mind. You hear about "life-changing writing advice" all the time and usually its really not—but honestly this is it man.

I'm going to try it.

✨ Word Wall Wednesday #1 ✨

with my most recent foray into whatever this "motivational poster"-esque format was, being great fun - I've decided to make it a weekly thing. Welcome to Word Wall Wednesdays 🧱

Every Wednesday, I’ll be posting a new visual piece — short, honest, emotional, or quietly chaotic. Something to stick to the inside of your skull or the front of your fridge. Maybe both.

Think of it as my little corner for soft punches, deep breaths, and that one sentence you didn’t know you needed.

Hope it lands. Hope it lingers. See you next Wednesday 🕊️

⬆️ ⬆️ 💯 Free advice: learn this as early as you can in life … you only have ONE life, do you!!

depriving yourself of anything you need won’t help you in any way. it will only leave you feeling uncomfortable, stressed, hungry or even sick. you’re not making yourself stronger by denying your needs. needing anything is not a sign of weakness or selfishness. it’s not morally wrong to have needs, even if they are different than others. you don’t have to earn things, your life should not be about self-sacrifice. this is not martyrdom. you don’t have to suffer so much to prove you need anything, or to earn anything. this is your life and your body. don’t be ashamed of meeting its basic needs.

ᥫ᭡just sit back and relaxᥫ᭡

let’s talk about pure consciousness // “I AM” state

So i realised i can’t just leave you guys hanging. i can’t just post about how you need to do shit yourselves and dip again. Even tho you guys have all you need on this app i will just be reiterating certain things.

all that’s needed is to relax

everything you do is correct, you can scratch that itch, you can lay any how, sit, even stand, when you set that intention, everything you do is correct, because when you are in that “I AM” state of mind, you are a god.

you don’t need anyone’s help, not any person who has a success story under their belt or any bloggers, including me. you don’t need anyone or anything because you are “I AM”

All that’s need is to relax, deep breathing, but don’t try to hard, this is first nature to you. A lot of you hear that you MUST relax so you force it. Don’t do that. When you hear these success stories it’s like they were so zoned out they didn’t realise they induced for a second. So let those thoughts pass through, accept them, even thoughts about what you ate today.

You CAN focus on the back of your eyelids but don’t force it.

A lot of you can’t and won’t admit that you still feel desperate for the void, you try and act like you don’t care but you do, it’s like that meme: “pretending you don’t care so your screen will load faster”. You still think that it’s your only way out and while trying to act all effortless, you’re begging for it to work on the inside. After acting relaxed you sit up confused as to why it “didn’t work”

you force the relaxation (which means you aren’t actually relaxing) because you still think you need the “I AM” state,

you can’t try to be effortless

you can’t try to zone out

just let it happen

and as for problems, they don’t exist, because the 3D doesn’t exist. The outerman may have woken up in unfavourable circumstances, the innerman has what it wants, what even are circumstances? The outerman keeps falling asleep, the innerman is a void master who gets whatever they want when they want.

The innerman is your true self. You have everything you could ever want, just relax and align.

remember:

deep breathing

relaxation {don’t force relaxation, it’s not going to help anything go “faster”, and that isn’t even needed because time isn’t real, you’re okay, you’re not running out of time no matter what circumstances show you}

affirm “I AM”/ let thoughts pass you by/ sing in your head/count/ replay scenarios whatever

don’t focus on how much time has passed because it doesn’t matter it isn’t real. don’t focus on “if it’s working yet” it has worked, {your innerman experiences your intentions as soon as you make them, you have an intention induce the void state, your innerman is already there, creation of events are already finished, it’s already happened}

immerse yourself in your thoughts and you’ll induce before you know it.

there’s no such thing as you tried and it didn’t work. trial and error does not exist for your innerman the REAL you. you’re not gaslighting yourself or being “delusional” it’s real. It’s done

pure consciousness is as easy as breathing, isn’t it wonderful?

You. Are. worthy.

Even if you never drive. Even if you need help with basic tasks. Even if you need help with hygiene. Even if you’ll never work. Even if you’ll need help for the rest of your life. You’re. Still. Worthy.

Don’t let anyone tell you that you’re useless, or that you don’t deserve certain things. You’re amazing, and I see you.
