love yourself

Hi all, it’s werelivingarts. I just stumbled across this method called ‘eat the frog’, which means you get the most difficult or important task out of your way first. I actually have been using this method for a long time, hope this post gives you a new way of managing your time and productivity! 😜 ❤️

I want to go back.

I want to go back to when I was 17. When life was simple.

My days consisted of coffee and English homework. I didn’t have a care in the world.

 My boyfriend would kiss me on the cheek.

He would hold me till we fell asleep watching movies.

That was the smell of love, a late night and a movie.

 I was innocent and the world was simple.

Time slowly ticked by.

Now years have gone in the blink of an eye.

Life is not so simple now.

It is full of bills, worries and anxiety.

Can I go back to when life was simple.

 When I could wear a dress and pink lipstick.

When he would hold my hand and kiss my forehead. When I drank hot chocolate and sang too loud in the car.

When date nights were every Saturday night.

When I could go for a run in the woods.

Now I have dark circles under my eyes and I can’t sleep at night.

 How did four years go by?

 Now my dreams haunt me and the world is dark. What happened to the good old days?

what happened to him holding my hand.

What happened.

Innocence is bliss and I wish oh how I wish I could go back to date nights and a kiss.

Because those were the days.

The days I miss and think about late at night.

I wonder if he felt the same.

1. Rather than listening to the voice in your head that is screaming “I hate this; I don’t want to do this” think about why it is a GOOD thing to do.

2. Instead of trying to pretend that you don’t feel this way, accept that you are feeling very blah and negative.

3. Don’t think about results and how well you think you’ll do, as this could raise your feelings of anxiety and fear, just think about “right now” and the first thing you can do.

4. Accept that life is tough, and is full of things that suck – but recognise that doing hard stuff is better in the end. You’ll likely have more choices and freedom, if you do.

5. Just do a little bit for now – then give yourself a proper break – then go back and do some more – and soon you’ll find you’re in the flow.
