ANGEL'S DECONSTRUCTED WINTER ARC ˖⁺‧₊˚♡˚₊‧⁺˖

Goals ⋆ ˚｡⋆౨ৎ˚

Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate !

I wrote a whole post on this. Dehydration is extremely serious and can cause sluggishness, brain fog, and in worst cases, death. DRINK YOUR WATER, GUYS! I promise be hydrated makes everything feel so much better.

Speak my mind more often !

Not wanting to start an argument, and therefore, succumbing to other people’s words is stressful, to say the least… and I may have been told off for it, so I decided to change that and speak how I feel.. for the most part.

8 hrs of sleep !

For my body to function the way it's supposed to, I genuinely need AT LEAST 8 hours of sleep, trust. The latest I’ll allow myself to go to bed is 10 pm. However, I know that I'll be sharp the next morning as much as I hate the process of going to sleep, I do love sleeping.

Workout at least 3 days of the week !

My focus is on building my glutes, widening my hips, and strengthening my core. For those who have similar goals, my routine will be below :))

Limit oversharing !

I talk.. a lot and I've realized that it's because I need an outlet and I've been holding in too much. And sometimes I say personal things and then regret it right after. No, I'm going to be more mindful of what I want to say before I say it, especially when it’s about myself.

Replace my screen time !

Rest. That’s all I’m gonna do. I was looking for something to replace it with, but I recently realized how I’m always going and I deserve rest. Screen time limits: 5 hours a day, because the internet used to be a place we could go to.

Eat cleaner !

What you eat sets the tone for how you feel. And I stand by that. I’m researching more recipes that include whole foods in the ingredients, and I'm leaning away from ultra-processed foods.

Read 10 mins a day !

We’re learning new words every day and writing them down (when I get my new journal), and we’re reading a book a day to nurture our literacy because I refuse to lose my intelligence.

Improve skincare routine !

I’ve been getting facials from school recently, so to prolong results, I have to reset my skincare routine because I found out that some of the products I was using were clogging my pores. I had serious congestion, and I didn’t even know it. Adding lymphatic drainage to this.

Consistency in journaling !

I am going to journal at the end of each day to improve my memory and promote self-reflection, and to have an outlet for my thoughts and feelings to roam freely.

Appreciate my own company !

No phone, no books, no laptop, no people. Just me and my thoughts, so that I am able to continue to find the value in my own company and increase my self-worth.

DAY 1

DAY 2

DAY 3

Morning rituals -`♡´-

Have a consistent alarm routine - to be able to do these rituals, I need to be up early, so I have enough time, so that I don't send my nervous system into distress by rushing.

Eat breakfast within the first 30 minutes of being awake — I feel horrible if I don't do this (unless I'm on some type of medication) and then I need to eat again like 1 hour later to refill the energy I used getting ready for the day.

Plan the day — I use the four-quarter method to set and complete any daily goals I have.

My favourite glow-up "hacks" ☾⋆°✩⋆

ʚɞ Every time you look in the mirror, imagine you're staring back at who u wanna see

ʚɞ I feel like sometimes we find quotes and feel aligned with them, but two days later, we forget, so this hack would be to write them down in a specific journal and read them over and over until it sticks (for lack of a better word)

ʚɞ No caffeine in the morning. Instead, use herbal teas which have way more benefits (ginger, peppermint, rosemary, moringa), anything rich in antioxidants and aiding digestion [esp if you're drinking it on an empty stomach]

ʚɞ Scalp massages to increase blood flow and release tension and stress while stimulating hair growth and thickness

ʚɞ Dry brushing and facial massages (with your hands) reduce bloating by promoting lymphatic drainage whilst increasing blood circulation

ʚɞ Awareness of your posture helps prevent unnecessary aches and pains and reduces the risks of skeletal diseases. Maintain the natural, gentle S-shaped curve of your spine, whether you are moving or still. Relax your shoulders, open your chest and neck straight

Very tired, had a very long day of classes and study at the library but also feels rewarding since I’m almost finished with my first coding assignment! Tomorrow got even more classes so, time to sleep!

dont know whatever this is called but a big fan of studying without any exam stress and deadline anxiety 🤪

since college is over for this academic year, im finally brushing up my braincells over Nuclear Physics now that i get the timee

"Sorry I can't right now. I'm studying."
