2. Don't allow your emotions to overpower your intelligence.

3. Lower your expectations from others.

10. Healthy detachment.

• Focus only on what you can control.

SELF TALK. Replacing the NEGATIVE things we say to ourselves with POSITIVE words 🦄💜✨✨

When we say bad things about ourselves, our minds and bodies pay attention and start believing those things. It's like a cycle. When we keep telling ourselves we're not good enough or can't do things, our minds start thinking it's true. These bad thoughts can make us act in ways that match what we believe, like avoiding things because we think we'll fail. Over time, our brain gets used to these thoughts and they become a regular part of how we see ourselves.

But if we say good things to ourselves, it can be really helpful. When we're kind in how we talk to ourselves, it can make us feel better and stronger. It's like giving ourselves a little boost of confidence. When we're positive, we can handle problems better and feel less stressed. When we believe good things about ourselves, we might do better in different situations. So it's important to notice how we talk to ourselves and try to say nice things, even if we don't always feel that way.

how to save a bad day.

Today was not a good day. I had an exam in the morning that I prepared so hard for but I walked out knowing I'd pretty much failed. I walked out pretty dejected and just overall, I felt pretty lost. So I thought I'd take myself out (a lil pity solo date) to try and make myself feel better.

Go on a walk. Seeing as I was already out of the house (I was at uni) I took myself on a little walk. I walked into town and just browsed through a bunch of shops. I didn't need anything so it was nice to just window shop.

Go to a coffee shop. I went to Black Sheep Coffee - one of my favourite coffee shops in town - and ordered a decaf coffee (it was like midday so I chose decaf so that I'd actually be able to sleep). I sat on a little corner table and just people watched for a little bit, while I was waiting for my coffee.

Read a book. After getting my coffee, I pulled out my book. I'm currently reading Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief. NGL, I was slightly self-conscious - I live in predominantly a university town so there are a lot of people my age and older, and I am reading a book aimed at children - but in all honesty, I love the book too much to dwell on it for too long.

Journal. After a while of reading and sipping my coffee, I felt a bit more calm and wanted to journal. Journalling helps me when I'm stressed or anxious sometimes because it helps me work out exactly how I feel. It also helps me keep track of what happened when because I have the worst memory ever. After journalling (and starting on a bit of revision) I headed off home - the walk was nice, even if it's long. I listened to a podcast on the way home. NGL though, it was freezing cold because it was like 2 -3 degrees at the time.

Shower. I got home and took a shower to warm up. I will say though showers are great to let go of whatever's weighing on you. Literally, let it wash away from you :)

Relax/Do Something Entertaining. I watched a few more episodes of Doctor Who while waiting for my hair to dry. I also started crocheting a new project :)

Make Dinner. I made (Fake) Chicken Noodle Soup for dinner - if you want a recipe, let me know and I'll post it here or on my tiktok (@niagosavi).

Try and Get An Early Night. I think I went to bed around 10pm that night - I had been awake since like 6am so I was knackered.

Bad days are inevitable but they are not the end of the world. Remember, it's a bad day, not a bad life.

I too would thank y’shtola for teleporting me far away from work and forcing me to live in the wood for a few months

[a-very-sparkly-nerd]

You think YOU'RE obsessed? Well, at the start of every single session, the first thing my therapist asks me about is TDP news bc it's like all I talk about

[divine-nonchalance]

Healing is our default, our foundation, our base line, it's what we're made of.

ˏˋ°•*⁀➷Finding Your Way in the Mermaid's Realm

Self-confidence and self-esteem are essential parts of witchcraft that are often overlooked or not emphasized enough. No matter how skilled you are in making potions, performing rituals, or casting spells, if you don't believe in yourself, your efforts will not yield the desired results.

As a witch, you work with energies and entities that surround you, and while you may seek support from deities, ancestors, or the universe, ultimately, you are the source of your power. The more self-assured and strong you are, the more effective your practice will be.

You may wonder, "How can I be powerful if I don't have access to these energies?" The answer is that you already possess the energy within you; you just need to tap into it. By cultivating self-confidence and self-esteem, you can unlock your innate power and channel it towards your goals.

Consider this: do you admire those who appear stronger or weaker than you? Do you seek friendships that enrich you or drain you? Do you want to give and receive energy, or do you prefer to be passive? These questions can help you reflect on your values and priorities.

I am not complaining about the magic works, but I carry two points with me by making these posts:

1st I respect and a lot my divinities and I know that if I ask for help they will support me in some way (which in fact already support me all the time), that’s why if I know that I can do this with my own effort and hard work and not want to make it all easier, I will have a lot more rewards for myself and my generations and respect those who work with me.

2nd life is magic in itself, being alive at this moment in history, being born at an exact time is already magical, taking apart what life gives us is also using the minute details of magic.

Now that you have announced this beautiful introduction, just follow the step by step that I separated to have a better self esteem and be able to be a powerful witch that you want and deserve to be, it will separated in lessons so you and me can improve as the time pass by:

bg3 fans showing their da leanings in how allergic they are to nuance 😔

[hotsugarbyglassanimals]

it's probably the sunnier weather that's doing stuff to my brain to make me more optimistic but it's so interesting having a brain that craves a lot of self-fulfillment to the point where I can move past some hang-ups around perfection by going "oh I really wanna do that though" and then I do it well because researching how to do it right is also a rewarding part of the process

The Best Quotes From 'How To Get Over A Boy'

"Scrap being liked! I want to be loved. I want to be honoured. I want to be heard, felt, seen and held with pure intention and an awareness of my wonder."

"So trust in yourself, trust in your journey, and know that you will always meet what is meant for you. You will always find your way back to yourself, no matter how lost you become in the doubts others have fed you."

"When it comes to beauty, in one person’s eyes you might be deemed unattractive but in another’s eyes you are the breath of the universe."

"You are smarter than anything that attempts to discourage you from wanting more in your life."

"If you really think about it, the way we view ourselves is always through the lens of something or someone else."

"A relationship that only exists when you don’t speak up is a comfortable prison."

"In a colonised world where a woman’s beauty is conditional, the simplest way to start to exist beyond societal expectations of beauty is to understand that somewhere else in the world, your unique features are being celebrated right now."

"Choosing yourself might sound selfish, but you know what else is selfish? The world expecting you to bow down to its unrealistic demands"

"I know you think he’s different, but no matter how much of a unicorn you think he is, his wonder does not in any way compare to yours. And what’s more, it never will."
