hi, loves 💌
welcome to the very first glowletter of the year! january is such a soft, hopeful time. a blank page for new routines, gentle habits, and glowing transformations. this month’s glowletter is all about finding magic in the little things, building dreamy routines, and stepping into 2025 with love and intention. this newsletter is a little late, but it took me ages to build. this is going to be a new addition to my blog, a monthly newsletter! this was heavily inspired by an idol of mine @malusokay she's been such a motivator for me when it comes to creating coquette blogs, and her newsletter is absolutely adorable. this newsletter was made from the heart and took ages to plan out. thank you malu for giving me the inspiration to make this <3 - mindy

I'm having better days. I've made some changes, like spending LESS time on social media and using my phone less in general.
No more using the phone on the toilet! I know it's silly, but let's be honest, that's where most social media consumption happens. Instead, I've put some comic books in the bathroom and now I enjoy reading while "taking care of business."
Tumblr is the only social media platform I still use a bit. It's a safer space, it's slower, and it helps me express my thoughts without having to interact with "people I know."
I need to get my energy and focus back.
In the morning, first things first: meditation.
Then, I go to the gym four times per week to build muscle and get stronger and stronger.
Planning my day also helps, from smaller to bigger tasks. It gives me a sense of control and fulfillment.
And last but not least, I take a lot of walks. Walking in my village, in the calm of the Dutch summer, just me and my audiobooks, calms my nerves.
Whenever bad thoughts come, I repeat my positive affirmations, which I also keep on a note on my phone. So when I'm tempted to go on social media, I open that note instead.
And when things get really bad, I blast some good music and dance around. It might sound silly, but it's scientifically proven that physical activity can improve your mood and give you a bit of endorphins to keep you happy.
So far, this is working pretty well (along with therapy), and my second week of job hunting has been less desperate than the first one.
Productivity is a Habit Not a Goal: 3 Steps to Develop Habits That Will Help You Accomplish More
3 Steps Highlighted in the Video
1) Start with Keystone Habits
Choose a small but powerful habit that triggers other positive actions. These build momentum and support larger goals over time.
2) Create Systems, Not To-Do Lists
A system is a repeatable process that guides you daily, whereas a to-do list is a single-use plan. Systems reduce decision fatigue and make progress predictable.
3) Track and Reflect
Measure what matters. Tracking habits and reviewing them weekly helps you see patterns, remove obstacles, and fine-tune your routine for better results.
Key Insight
Productivity isn’t a finish line it’s the collection of repeated actions that make results possible. When you focus less on outcomes and more on the habits that produce them, progress becomes sustainable and measurable.
