#impossiblelist

Welcome back!

I wasn’t allowed to do sports for a few weeks and then I just couldn’t get myself back to it, but I finally managed! I am very proud of myself, and although I took many breaks during my jog (otherwise I wouldnt habe managed to go such a long way) I am verd happy with the result! Also i was freezing half of the time lol❄️

I reached the first goal on my impossible list! Actually I even reached two goals at the same time. I ran 5km for the first time AND I did it in under 30 minutes! 🏃🏽‍♀️

Welcome to my blog!

I am a 16 year old student from germany, currently in year 11 and working towards my Abitur. You can call me Ame, as I’m not comfortable with using my real name on tumblr. Other than school, I am interested in platblr, the zero waste movement, antifacism, philosophy and feminism.

I know my blog is empty right now, but this will be the place where I will track my journey from now on. “Which journey?”, you might ask yourselves now. Well, the journey of changing my life. Of taking matters into my own hands and achieving things I did not think were possible for me.

I hope some of you who read this, might be interested in following me on my journey. This will be a lot of studyblr, because I‘m still in school, but every part of my goals will have his share on this blog, so there might also be other posts. If you want to see posts related to the other interests I named above follow me on my sideblog @nonamebutart . If you‘re interested in knowing which goals I am working towards, please read My Impossible List on my blog.

Some fun facts about me: I‘m a Slytherin, a vegan, and I loooove reading. I also am a Netflix Junkie, a fact that regularely interferes with me being productive. I grew up in Mexico, so I‘m fluent in Spanisch, and I‘m trying to learn Persian.

Last but not Least, some of the Tumblrs that have inspired me to go on this adventure:

@the-diary-of-a-failure My all time favourite tumblr. Every time I scroll through this I find new things I relate to. This is one of the only blogs whee I don‘t feel like I‘m wasting my time, but rather as if I am being productive. Thank you so much for that!

@studyquill one of the forst studyblrs I followed. Your notetaking style is amazing, and I‘ve implemented quite a bit of it into my own notetaking style, although I‘ve altered a lot to fit it to my needs. I hope your blog can motivate more people just like it did with me!

@astraeuzz Your notetaking style is a big inspiration to me. I‘ve been trying to take notes with a more zero waste approach, but it always made me feel like my notes didn’t belong to the beautiful colourful ones from the rest of the community. Thank you for showing me that the black I prefer in my wardrobe is also alright for my notes!

@minimaliststudy Go to motivation and inspiration blog! There‘s always so much new reblogged stuff there. If I‘m feeling demotivated I sometimes chack it to get myself in the mood for studying. Thank you!

@studywithmariana Your YouTube Account got me into studyblr! I‘ve never been bad an school, but you‘ve motivated me to do my best to achive the best. Many of my productivity habits I‘ve gotten from you, and I hope to learn even more in the future!

Obviously this were only the studyblrs I like. I dont use tumblr that much for my other interests, but I will maybe once in a while talk about other tumblrs that inspire me.

Get yourself a glass of water, or a mug of tea or a nice hot (or cold) chocolate. Grab a feelgood snack, put on some music that makes you feel alive, and get ready. You are going to change your life now.

1. Write a list or actually, two lists. First of all, I would advise you to write an impossible list. This will help you get a clear picture of what you want to achieve. For an explanation on what an impossible list is, and an inspiration for how it could look like, check out my impossible list here. Then, make a list of what is a priority for you now. You can put friends on there, skills and places. Just everything that you don´t want to loose.

2. Pick what you want to start with You can´t meet all goals at the same time, and you probably also don´t have the time to work on all of them at the same time. So choose which things you wan´t to start with. For that, you can use the list of priorities you wrote earlier. Be careful and don´t choose to many things at this point! You will get to do everything, just not instantly. It´s okay. You have your whole life in front of you.

3. Create a system How can you start doing the things you prioritized? How can you implement them in your lifestyle? I will not write a whole big text here, because there is a lot of masterposts out there on how to build good habits, but just make sure the habits you are planning fit into your life. Don´t say: I am going to play the guitar every day. Say: I am going to play the guitar every day after coming back from school. This will ensure that you don´t put everything off until the last second.  

4. Envision yourself being that queen*/king* Don´t think of your plans as something that will happen in the future. Think of it as something that has already changed. Imagine yourself as already being the person you always wanted to be. Imagine the habits as already being part of your life. If you slip up, it doesn´t matter, it was one time. You are a queen/king/not otherwise specified ruler anyways.   

5. Make sure to stay inspired I did this by opening up a folder on my phone called “motivation”. Other people do this by making a vision board or writing something in their journal. Do whatever works for you, but make sure that it´s always available to you, so that you don´t end up losing a streak. And be aware that you cannot be motivated every single moment. Sometimes you will have to work through moments of doubt. Be strong, you got this

6. Don´t give up I know you´ve heard this about a hundred times know, but consistency is key. The way that I try to to do that, is having at least one thing that will show consistent progress. For example I stretch every morning. This shows progress very fast. Small progress, but progress nonetheless. This reminds me that my bigger goals will also be achieved, even if I can´t see it right now.

7. Renew your list once in a while This is to make sure that you are actually working towards what you want. You don´t have to do this all the time, just, check in with your list once in a while

Hello, I hope you are all great, even with these unusual circumstances. I have been trying to use all this newfound time as a restart for my goals. I have updated my impossible list and I tried to get into a few new habits. What I have tried to do every day is:

- Stretch every morning - Draw every day - Joined the Chloe Ting Summer Shred Challenge

I don´t know if it will work out alright, because my energy levels have been very low, since I can´t see other people and I am an extrovert.

Working on my 5 km goal as well as my 6 time a week workout goal! I actually wanted to run 30 min, but because I was so focused ob being fast enough to hit the 5 km goal I overworked myself and had to stop :( I managed to run 3,9 km which in my opinion is alright for the 3rd time I‘ve gone running. But next time I‘ll try not to overwork myself! 🏃🏽‍♀️👟
