push yourself to fall asleep earlier - start with 11pm, then 10pm, then 9pm. wake up in the morning feeling re-energized and comfortable.

get into the habit of cooking yourself a beautiful breakfast. fry tomatoes and mushrooms in real butter and garlic, fry an egg, slice up a fresh avocado and squirt way too much lemon on it. sit and eat it and do nothing else.

stretch. start by reaching for the sky as hard as you can, then trying to touch your toes. roll your head. stretch your fingers. stretch everything.

buy a 1L water bottle. start with pushing yourself to drink the whole thing in a day, then try drinking it twice.

buy a beautiful diary and a beautiful black pen. write down everything you do, including dinner dates, appointments, assignments, coffees, what you need to do that day. no detail is too small.

strip your bed of your sheets and empty your underwear draw into the washing machine. put a massive scoop of scented fabric softener in there and wash. make your bed in full.

organise your room. fold all your clothes (and bag what you don’t want), clean your mirror, your laptop, vacuum the floor. light a beautiful candle.

have a luxurious shower with your favourite music playing. wash your hair, scrub your body, brush your teeth. lather your whole body in moisturiser, get familiar with the part between your toes, your inner thighs, the back of your neck.

push yourself to go for a walk. take your headphones, go to the beach and walk. smile at strangers walking the other way and be surprised how many smile back. bring your dog and observe the dog’s behaviour. realise you can learn from your dog.

message old friends with personal jokes. reminisce. suggest a catch up soon, even if you don’t follow through. push yourself to follow through.

think long and hard about what interests you. crime? sex? boarding school? long-forgotten romance etiquette? find a book about it and read it. there is a book about literally everything.

become the person you would ideally fall in love with. let cars merge into your lane when driving. pay double for parking tickets and leave a second one in the machine. stick your tongue out at babies. compliment people on their cute clothes. challenge yourself to not ridicule anyone for a whole day. then two. then a week. walk with a straight posture. look people in the eye. ask people about their story. talk to acquaintances so they become friends.

A MIND MAP ABOUT MIND-MAPPING

If you know me, you’d know that I am a highly visual person. I love learning from images and layouts, and my spatial intelligence is probably my strongest type of intelligence. Because of this, I often use mind maps to study, and so do a lot of other people. However, there are people who don’t really know how to make and utilize a mind map effectively. That’s what this post is for! Here’s how you can make your mind maps more effective and thus enable you to retain more information. (P.S. you might wanna zoom in)

By no means am I an expert in mind-mapping; these are just some habits I have when making a mind map that successfully does its job of helping me remember the topics I’m studying.

If you have any questions, feel free to drop an ask!

¡Hola! ¡He vuelto!

El curso pasado apenas usé Tumblr para estudiar, pero gracias a que vi un montón de imágenes que me motivaron a estudiar y a superarme pude aprobar con buenas notas y además entrar en los primeros puestos de la carrera que quería ❤️

También voy a dejar de publicar en inglés ya que era uno de los motivos por los que no publicaba tanto, ya que me cuesta expresarme mucho en este idioma y prefiero el español, ¡pero bueno, espero hacer amigos españoles o latinos!

Comienzo la carrera de Publicidad y Relaciones Públicas el 6 de septiembre, que es la presentación. No conozco a nadie de allí y espero también llevarme mejor con la gente, ya que siempre me cuesta hacer amigos y tengo problemas de ansiedad respecto a ese tema… Pero trato de ser optimista 😣

Y… Nada, ahí está mi Bullet Journal de septiembre, aunque francamente no sé si lo continuaré o me compraré una agenda, porque no tengo ni idea de cómo me organizaré de cara a las clases. Creo que acabaré por utilizar una agenda que me ahorrará mucho trabajo, aunque no sea tan bonita como mi bullet 😭

También el otro día encontré los subrayadores Stabilo en el Carrefour y me gasté todo el dinero que me quedaba en comprármelos, y ahora soy pobre pero feliz porque pintan precioso.

Y también tengo mi super bolígrafo favorito de Pentel que me regalaron y que no quiero perder por nada del mundo, adoro la tinta y no podría vivir sin él. De hecho no sé cómo era capaz de escribir usando otros bolígrafos, no hay punto de comparación.

this is for the girls with depression but are still determinated to kick ass

this is for the girls who feel lonely staying home studying on a friday night

Don’t let anybody tell you your major is worthless. Don’t let anybody tell you that your major is wrong and you should pursue another major because it “fits” you better. (I had somebody tell me this who acted like they knew me for YEARS, even though they only knew me for a few months. I was told that I should change my major because of my reasons for wanting to pursue my major. This really made me furious.) Those kinds of people are the kind you don’t need in your life - they will only continue to judge you and treat you with disrespect. Don’t listen to those people. Only you know what’s good for you, and what you want. Follow what you’re passionate about and that you would love to do for the rest of your life. Regardless as to if your paycheck is big or small, what matters is that you love your job and what you’re doing. A big paycheck is meaningless if you hate your career and dread work all the time. Even if the paycheck isn’t as big, it is better to do something you love and be paid less, than to be paid more and hate what you’ll be doing for the next 40+ years of your life for 5+ days a week. For Example: |Scenario 1| - You are passionate about music and want to major in music performance, but your parents force you to become a lawyer. You end up becoming a lawyer. Yes, you’re making a ton of money, but you’ll never love your job or be happy. |Scenario 2| - You are passionate about music and want to major in music performance. Your parents want you to go to medical school, but you ignore what they tell you. You graduate with your degree(s) in music performance and perform in ensembles (although none that are world renowned), making a sizable income, and loving your career. Yes, it isn’t as much as somebody who is a surgeon would make, but you’re doing what you love for the next several decades of your life. DO WHAT YOU LOVE. NEVER LET ANYBODY TELL YOU THAT YOU SHOULD NEVER PURSUE A MAJOR DUE TO THE SALARY. I KNOW you will do amazing things with your degree and that you will change the world one step at a time. ❤️ You go, Glenn Coco! 💕 (Sorry not sorry - I absolutely love Mean Girls and I felt this was super appropriate 😂)
