reminders

“you are allowed to be proud of the little things you achieve; like becoming better in a video game, baking really good pancakes or just getting out of bed today - not everything you do has to be world changing” - @gentle-reminder

“Don’t ever do something simply because someone else forces you into it. At times, people may try to make you do things that you may not want to do. However, you must respect yourself and only contribute to what you feel comfortable with doing.” - @thepowerwithin

“There will be other tests. Other assignments. Other jobs. But there might not be another chance to dance with your sister on her wedding day. You may never get another opportunity to sing along to all your favourite songs at a concert. There are no guarantees. So, forget the test. Miss the assignment. Skip the work day. Life isn’t made by those things. It’s made by living. By experiencing and enjoying every thing we can while we’re still here.” - @ifthenightcouldtalk

“Respect yourself enough to walk away from anything that no longer serves you, grows you, or makes you happy.” - @psychofactz

I have so so so many more tips that I’d love to share, so perhaps I’ll make a part two next month aimed at a different audience, who knows? In the meantime feel free to ask me for advice or send me a message if you ever need anything! I’ll leave you with a sweet little meditation gif below :3

How Much Sleep Do We Really Need?  |  @health-cnl

This too shall pass & my life will be better.

I am a worthy and good person. 

I am doing the best I can, given my history and level of current awareness.

Like everyone else, I am a fallible person and at times will make mistakes and am committed to learning from them.

What is, is.

Look at how much I have accomplished, and I am still progressing.

There are no failures, only different degrees of success.

Be honest and true to myself.

It is OK to let myself be distressed for awhile.

I am not helpless. I can and will take the steps needed to get through during crisis. 

I will remain engaged and involved instead of isolating and withdrawing during this situation.

This is an opportunity, instead of a threat. I will use this experience to learn something new, to change my direction, and/or to try a new approach. 

Other people are responsible for their reactions to me. 

I can stand anything for a while because I am resilient. 

In the long run, who will remember or care? 

Surreal Illustrations Fill Wildlife Silhouettes by Jessica Janik

Aspiring artist and illustrator from Germany Jessica Janik creates alluring works of art in watercolor, her compositions blur the lines between surrealism and reality.

She imposes silhouettes of animals or human bodies with that of a washed landscape, diffusing nature and its creations into one cohesive piece. Her paintings evoke a sense of calm as we watch them, the hues of blue disseminating tranquility. Janik seeks inspiration from things, big and small around her, her creations being an outlet to satisfy her ever hungry inner soul.

You can see her latest work of art on Instagram or find her work on Etsy.
