I'd love to have a library like this, it's not too big not too small, just a comfortable room to go hide in with books and a cup of tea

How to Get (and Keep) Your Life Together 101

Here’s a quick masterlist of all the tips, hacks and advice that stuck with me from reading so many articles, videos and research. Feel free to ask me any questions, or add tips of your own. 💜

Hydration: Make sure every day you stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water, green tea, black tea. You see this everywhere but it’s true. Just drinking water wil do wonders for your skin and your overall body health.

Nutrition: Maintain a healthy diet by letting go of toxic “restrictive” diet culture and realizing that food is sacred fuel for your sacred body, so offer your body the best! Eat lots of vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds; lots of wholefoods. Incorporate smoothies into your mornings for extra dose of vitamins. Practice mindful, conscious eating, be there in the moment when you are eating, taste the food, enjoy the experience of it. Meditate over your relationship with food and try to work through any unhealthy beliefs.

Exercise: Pick one or multiple forms of exercise that suits your schedule, lifestyle and personality; whether it’s jogging twice a week, going to the gym daily or even just a fresh walk every evening. Pick what is suitable for YOU and keep it part of your life. DYI your own gym routine or hire a trainer; train at home or in the gym; whatever works best for you.

Growth Mindset: Maintain a positive mindset that is always open and curious to learning new things, trying new skills and ever willing to improve itself. Redirect your attention from drama, gossip and toxic comparison beliefs to healthy ones; unfollow accounts online or delete all your social media if that’s what you need. Recreate yourself if that’s what you want. Focus on YOUR growth! Make a habit of reading new books, watching TedTalks, documentaries, etc. Look at educating yourself as a way to invest in yourself, a way to honor yourself. Maintain curiosity in your heart for the ways of the universe. Stay humble and graceful in the face of adversity, but never give up on your dreams, failed attempts are only lessons for improvement and the only true failure is giving up. As long as you keep going you’re still winning. Bonus tip: comparison is self harm, and a denial of your own power; so remember that nobody can be you and that’s a good thing. You can only be you, so make it count and honor yourself!

Relationships: Don’t cling to relationships and don’t be afraid to lose people. Be your authentic self at all times, and do not be afraid to intimidate people or be too much! Those that matter don’t mind, and those that mind don’t matter. Know that the friends/partners that are meant for you, will stay or will find their way back to you. Be mindful of the dynamic in a relationship, and be self-loving enough to walk away from what is toxic, unhealthy, restrictive, disrespectful, etc. Forgive those that wronged you, but tolerate no mistreatment; you can forgive them from afar, but make sure they’re no longer a part of your life.

Focus & Goals: Keep a journal and as frequently as you can, write down bullet lists of to do lists, goals, dreams, daily reflections, aspects of yourself to improve upon, positive affirmations, wishlist etc. - in other words, brainstorm all the things whirling around in your head regarding your own life. Remember all those things you’ve wanted to do? Bucketlists, reminders, curiosities, etc? Keeping a journal, staying focused on your goals, checking progress and practicing positive affirmations will transform your life.

Fashion: Elevate your wardrobe to a whole other level by sitting down and figuring out what your style actually is. Play around in your journal by creating a collage of your favorite colors, textures, patterns, styles, outfit combos and accessories. Mix and match, figure out what your aesthetic is. Refine, polish, remove what doesn’t click. (You can find a bunch of videos on YT for organizing clothes and being effortlessly fashionable/put together.) When you reorganize your wardrobe according to the above, you can easily mix and match anything because your wardrobe makes sense and it’s already planned out. Bonus tip: do your laundry the same day every week (ie. Saturday) and do a wardrobe prep on Sundays for the upcoming week; so that at any moment you can be ready in five minutes looking perfectly polished, and avoid the whole ordeal of being stressed/rushed and not knowing what to wear.

Skincare and haircare: Golden advice - invest in natural products/oils/ingredients instead of investing in brands. Why? Because otherwise you’re paying for a concept instead of actual health benefits for your body. Try natural soaps, oils (shea butter, coconut oil, argan, avocado, jojoba, rosehip, etc), and water extracts (rosewater, hazelwater) for toner. Coconut oil and argan oil is particularly famed for hairgrowth and shine. Castor oil as well helps hairgrowth, including for brows or lashes. Rosehip and shea heal discolorations, scars and marks. Do your research and try out what fits you, your skin will thank you later. I’ve been using natural products & oils for 9+ years and people always compliment how clear, smooth & glowy my skin is. Bonus tip: if you don’t use sunscreen already, try to incorporate it into your routine; just make sure it has gentle, non-harmful ingredients (for both yourself and the environment.

Etiquette, manners, poise, posture: Watch videos, read books or listen to audiobooks about confidence, proper etiquette, leadership skills, how to make people listen when you speak, etc. There are things which are so intuitive, obvious and logical, and yet simply becoming aware of them and having the science of it explained will transform your perspective (and the way you carry yourself).

Finances: Perform a monthly financial review to make sure you know where you are, what your budget is. Make a plan for backup funds, or savings for travels, or new tattoos, or a house, or whatever you want. It doesn’t have to be complicated, you can keep things simple by listing your expenses in five categories (Necessities, groceries, luxury, savings, free/remaining funds). Keep track of your expenses or habits, there are even apps that show statistics or analysis for easy use. The point here is to stay on top of your own finances: know how much are the monthly necessities (rent/mortgage/etc), know what has been payed and keeping receipts, knowing when things need to be paid, etc.

Integrity: This means knowing yourself, having standards, knowing what your boundaries are, what you are willing and not willing to do. When you know yourself and know your worth, you won’t ever tolerate or accept anything less. Know what your principles, values, beliefs are and hold them firmly because it is what you stand for. At the same time, it is important to keep an open mind to growth and improvement, but not so much that any persuasive argument will change your mind. Hold your own, but be gracious to other perspectives. And through it all remember - only you know what’s right for you, what’s best for you. Literally nobody else but you can know what’s in your best interest!

Efficiency & Improvement: This ties in with growth mindset but in a more practical way; make sure that you’re always leaving open space for improvement in your life, don’t ever just settle down/get stuck/let yourself sink into complacency. Know that you can always change anything! Make a habit of frequently reviewing aspects of your life (ex. via journaling) to see whether there’s anything you can make more easy, more efficient. Instead of spending hours grocery shopping, check out shops online where your favorite products can be home delivered in a snap. Instead of driving to a vet for your pet, have a call in. Setting up recurring payments for finances also counts. Literally any process or activity whereby you can automatize a service, delivery, payment, etc. will help you in the long run, so you can focus more on enjoying life, instead of wasting time with Trivial Adult Things.

Tag game

I was tagged for this by @studymhaezing​ all the way back in March! I’m sorry for doing it so late hahaha but I figured it would help my followers know more about me?

Rules: Answer 11 questions, ask 11 questions.

1. What major would you like to take in college, and why?

I’m currently taking interior design! I started in July, but that’s what I’ve wanted to take for a really long time. I don’t have a definite reason for taking it, but I love the problem-solving and colour theory aspects of it. I also like how it mixes creativity/artistic elements with engineering-type elements? Does this make any sense hahaha

2. What do you usually do on a friday night? besides studying.

Do people actually study on a Friday night?! Since I don’t have classes on Fridays, I just hang out at home really... I usually play video games or I go out with my mom to shop, run errands, etc. Sometimes we go to watch a movie or we watch one at home! I want to go out with friends more though~

3. One thing you like about your country, and why is it a reason for people to visit it.

Canada has lots of nature! British Columbia in particular is full of provincial and regional parks. I love going for hikes and such in the summer. We have lots of mountains as well so the landscape is very diverse! It’s really interesting to just study the nature variations in Vancouver. Also, everyone is really nice!

4. What is your current jam?

Honestly, the Bayonetta 2 soundtrack? I’ve been playing the game a lot lately and the soundtrack is just beautiful. I also like the salsa version of Felices los 4 by Maluma.

5. Have you ever dreamed of becoming a model? (this is just lol)

Yes, actually!! Hahaha.. I wanted to be a singer/model when I was younger and my parents actually tried to cast me when we first moved to Canada.

6. One fear you have.

Leaving negative first impressions? It depends per person, though. For example, if I meet someone I want to be friends with, I try my best not to do something silly and I get very nervous for the first few weeks of meeting them that I did something wrong/they won’t speak to me again. Does that count? Also moths and large bugs creep me out, but I’m not necessarily afraid of them - it just takes a lot of willpower for me to get near and kill them.

7. Do you like the classes you are taking?

For the most part, yes! I won’t go into it, but there’s one class I was excited about but the teacher let me down.

8. Any regrets in life?

Of course. I’ve made many choices that I may regret in the short term, but I’ve come to accept that they shape my present and future. Also, you can change some things in the past depending on your future goals, so I’m not too focused on it.

9. What made you join the community?

I was first interested in the whole aesthetic and then I realized that the community is in fact very friendly! Everyone is focused on each others’ well-being, which is hard to find in other tumblr communities. I was also in a very low mindset at the time and I thought that being surrounded by other productive people would help encourage me to study.

10. One thing you hate about the studyblr community.

The obsession with expensive things! I can’t criticize too much because I sometimes fall for it, but I really hate how a lot of people are focused on showing pictures of their Macbooks or Moleskines or Muji stationery. It’s gotten to the point where it’s all over the community and I feel that - while it’s good to have good quality, pricey things - it’s not the main focus. I feel like other studyblrs may feel like their productivity isn’t worth posting because they may use dollar store highlighters or something. If someone achieved something and they’re proud of it then they should definitely post it!

11. What makes you different from others?

Physically, I have double-jointed ring fingers and thumbs, which means that they get stuck often (and on demand) and, my thumbs in particular, always make cracking sounds! Personality-wise, perhaps the fact that I can be very kind but also very straight-forward with others? I treat others how I expect to be treated and when they don’t reciprocate that behaviour I change really quickly, haha.

My 11 questions are:

How long is your wishlist and what is it mainly composed of?

Which season do you prefer and why?

Would you rather be wealthy and alone or poor and surrounded by people? (not just people who love you, though!)

What was the last book you read? Did you enjoy it?

What was the last thing you liked? (on Tumblr)

Tell us one secret about yourself no one else knows (if you want to)

Would you ever get a tattoo? Why or why not?

Do you consider yourself to be introverted or extroverted?

What was the last song you listened to?

Something from your bucketlist?

Do you like the direction your blog is going in? Is there anything you want to change about it?

Since I just returned from hiatus, I won’t tag anyone since I don’t know who is still active or not. Anyone is welcome to do this and say that I tagged them if they’d like!

It was exhausting, doing this every day. Waking up after catching a few hours of sleep to drag himself out of bed to go serve people in a cafe or a bar. Forcing himself to eat even though his stomach always seemed to churn with discontentment.

The feeling like he was a failure was persistent. That he was becoming exactly what he was afraid of becoming. What he'd promised himself that he wouldn't be.

It had seemed so close at one point-- a short climb to his goal. Now that he was trying that goal seemed to get loftier and loftier and farther away and it would only get farther. He couldn't stop to take a break or it would slip out of his reach, but he was tired.

It was hard to cope. He'd dug his way out of so many things before but this was difficult. It got harder, the more people told him he couldn't. He'd already had people telling him he couldn't from the start. He just wanted support from someone, but he knew better because he couldn't ask for help out of this situation. He wished it was easy.
