sit down and write out what you actually want , not some impossible dream that makes you feel worse about yourself achievable goals , things you can touch and work toward every single day start small and build momentum.

clean your space , organize your desk until every pen has a place , dust your shelves , wash those clothes that have been sitting there for weeks. mop your floor .

take your phone and be ruthless with it. set a timer for social media. scroll through your feed and hit "not interested" on every video that makes you feel empty. block people who make you question your worth n unfollow accounts that trigger your insecurities. make your digital space as clean as your physical one.

take the longest shower of your life , do that mask , moisturize ur skin , get a fresh haircut if u want .

put on clothes that make you feel like yourself again. grab a book or something that feeds your soul , walk to a park or find a quiet café. sit with a friend or embrace being alone if reading isn't your thing just exist peacefully somewhere without your phone buzzing in your pocket.

cook for yourself , chop fresh vegetables n season your food properly , taste every bite. realize that nourishing your body is cheaper and more satisfying than numbing it with fast food.

move your body every single day , stretch until your muscles remember they exist. do yoga in your living room walk to the gym even when you don't feel like it push through the resistance invite a friend or go alone just MOVE YOUR BODY indoor or outdoor.

buy a notebook and write everything down. your thoughts, your fears, your victories. don't edit yourself at the end of each month, flip through the pages and see how much you've survived and grown through you'll surprise yourself.

pick something you've always been curious about. sociology, astronomy, philosophy, that language you've wanted to learn buy a book about it watch documentaries. take a class. feed your mind something substantial instead of mindless content.

stop calling education useless. show up to your studies because it matter more then YOU THINK . put in effort that matches your potential.

change how you talk to yourself. stop rehearsing failure in your head. stop daydreaming about a life you're not building look in the mirror and choose hope choose action choose to trust that you can become who you want to be.

You deserve to be wealthy. You deserve to be healthy. You deserve to be happy. You deserve all the good in life. Don’t think you’re not worthy of all the beauty in life. You are. You just have to convince yourself that you are. If you want to live a truly magical life, you need to feel like you deserve a truly magical life. You need to feel worthy of your manifestations.

Self-worth comes from within. It comes from establishing a good relationship with yourself. It comes from healing your wounds, embracing your shadows, and releasing beliefs that no longer serve you. Yes, you absolutely deserve to have anything you want in life. So don’t settle for less. Don’t settle for a mediocre life. You’re destined for so much more than that. You deserve to have a magical life.

25 Laws of power for women

Conceal your goals especially the ones that are appealing. Losing weight, reinventing yourself, marrying wealthy. Instead talk about your altruistic goals - to help children, invest in education, this will chase insecure people with vile intentions.

Do not give anyone your source of power: Was is a book that changed your life? a mentor? a movie? Never give up your secret to success. If forced to do say allude to God, the universe, the a random phenomenon

Use the patriarchy to your favor; we live in a world that is, only associate with men who have power, use that power for good.

Never appear too perfect but be selectively vulnerable when needed. Only share something that you will be comfortable saying. You might say “I forget my keys all the time,” “I don’t know how to perfectly park a car “. But never disclose something you are not comfortable with just because you are afraid of being perfect.

Maintain distance in relationships. Friends are the best and you need them. But if you feel that they are becoming too dependent, see them at your own will. But also the reverse could be the case. Your friend may keep a distance, and that is the way of life. You have got to move on from it.

Develop your own style that makes you unique, beautiful, and elegant. Avoid trying to fit in the crowd of people who claim to care less about their style yet have too many opinions about other women’s style

Avoid male friends at all cost, you will have male colleagues, male bosses, male acquaintances, business partners. Keep it that way. You do not want a Truman Capote divulging your secrets to the world. Do not keep a man who does not fit your standard.

You do not have to win at every game. Pick and choose what is best for you and leave room for others. And step down if you have attained that level of success, do not let the society do it for you.

Trust people but remember that we are all humans. So trust with discretion!

Confuse people with kindness; people are not always comfortable with beautiful and intelligent women. That power is too intimidating so confuse them by being genuinely generous, curious, kind, and passionate.

Keep your strong opinions to yourself.. if you support a movement, a way of life, do so silently.

We all have dirty laundry, wash them privately, don’t expose yourself. Remain silent when people try to attack you or shame you. Whatever is not confirmed is not true. You are the only one who knows all the truth about you.

Don’t attract pity or praise: People who pity you do not help you, in fact they might think that you are weak and could mock you at their annual gossipping meeting. And if you are doing things for the sake of praise you are wasting your time.

Choose yourself all the time; never put any one’s feelings above yours.

Trust your own intuition if you feel someone is being malicious towards you, giving you back handed compliments then you should let them go

Never speak bad of another woman. Do not lazy around gossipping. Keep your hands clean and your conscience clear.

Avoid women with low self esteem they will bring you down. For some reason they do not like seeing other women who are doing better than them

Be careful who you seek validation from. Not everyone needs to be pleased. If they are in no way capable of contributing to your life in the ways you prefer, then don’t ask them for their opinions or please them.

Do not compete with other women, if you do you are only putting them on a pedestal. You are making the the standard by which you measure your progress. If you do compete, begin digging your grave.

Do not give unsolicited advice, do not share the inner workings of your mind, If your mouth is very charitable you better start journaling.

Be well-rounded and interesting. It attracts people. It also keeps you busy because you are continually improving and learning. An idle mind is an easily subdued one.

Avoid women who want to live vicariously through you; they want to know who you know, shop where you shop, befriend who you befriend, wear what you wear.

Pay attention to the source of your discomfort; get rid of them. You tell them your dreams and they remind you of all your hindrances. They ask why are you dressed so fancy as though fancy isn’t subjective. They undermine you interests and goals. They will also be quick to bring you down because they are afraid of your potential.

Do not fear power or please power. When we see powerful people we try to hard to befriend them, to be close to them but you need to be comfortable without them. Don’t push yourself in the name of friendship, do not try too hard to be in their inner circle. Your independence of mind is the most important. Instead become a powerful woman, aloof to the presence of power but aware of its importance. Be an ingenious and intelligent and use your creativity to uplift yourself. When you do so it will be hard to ignore you. Even the powerful will become an ally.

Enjoy moments of solitude. Use that time to develop yourself, improve your body, learn new skills, create with your mind, read widely, become more elegant, then launch yourself.

Remember the most powerful women are the most intelligent. Inspired by Robert Greene's 48 Laws of Power. Use at your discretion.

Why Being "Low Maintenance" Is Actually Self-Abandonment

Have you ever caught yourself saying "I'm just low maintenance" and feeling weirdly proud about it? Let's talk about what's really hiding behind that seemingly innocent phrase.

Being "low maintenance" often means we're actually abandoning ourselves in small ways every single day. We're not actually "chill", we're just really good at ignoring our own needs.

Think about it: When was the last time you…

Said "I'm fine with whatever" when you actually have a strong preference about where to eat

Stayed quiet about something that hurt you because you didn't want to "cause drama"?

Accepted the bare minimum effort because you're afraid of being called "demanding"

Praised yourself for "not being needy" when you're actually just suppressing your real needs.

The scary part? Society LOVES a "low maintenance" woman. Movies, TV shows, and social media constantly feed us this idea of the "cool girl" who never complains, never has needs, and is always up for anything. We're taught that taking up less space and being eternally agreeable makes us more lovable. But let's be real, would you want your best friend to silence her needs just to seem "easy-going"? Would you want your future daughter to shrink herself to appear more attractive to others?

I didn't think so.

Here's what being "low maintenance" actually costs you: Your authentic voice gets quieter. Your ability to form genuine connections suffers (because how can people truly know you if you never express what you want?). Your self-trust erodes because you've gotten so good at ignoring your inner wisdom.

Having needs doesn't make you high maintenance, it makes you human. Setting boundaries isn't demanding, it's healthy. Speaking up about your feelings isn't dramatic, it's brave.

So how do we start shifting away from this pattern? It doesn't have to be huge, dramatic changes. Start with tiny steps that feel manageable:

Next time you're asked where you'd like to eat, pause for a moment. Check in with yourself. What sounds good to you? Maybe you don't need to immediately jump to "oh, anywhere is fine!" Give yourself permission to have a preference.

Try keeping a little notes app diary of moments when you notice yourself automatically saying "it's fine" or "whatever you want." No judgment, just notice the pattern. Sometimes awareness is the first step to change.

When you're with trusted friends, practice expressing small preferences. Maybe it's about what movie to watch or what time to meet up. Notice how it feels in your body when you actually say what you want. Notice if the world keeps spinning (spoiler: it usually does).

Instead of "low maintenance," how about we start calling ourselves "self-aware"? Instead of "easy-going," how about "authentic"? Instead of "not needy," how about "clear about my needs"?

Remember, the right people in your life won't want you to be low maintenance. They'll want you to be authentic. They'll appreciate knowing your true preferences and respect your boundaries. And anyone who makes you feel bad about having normal human needs isn't someone who deserves your energy.

Your needs matter. Your voice matters. Your preferences matter. And learning to honor them isn't just okay, it's essential for building a life that actually feels like yours.

2025 is my year of healing. I'm tired of repeating the same patterns of behaviour that don't provide anything fruitful in my life. I'm ready to embark on deep journey of stitching the emotional wounds that trauma has caused me. I'm choosing to surrender and to let go of the pain. I'm breaking generational cycles of despair and sorrow. Life is for me to enjoy, not something I have to endure.

Prioritizing healing starts with changing your habits, forming new and healthier patterns of thinking that can build new neurological connections and rewire your brain, which in turn leads you to see the world through a different lens and bring forth better things into your life. I know that I'm not alone in this journey and that God will be walking with me through every step. This journey will be a marathon and not a spring, but I will eventually reach the end of the finish line, and I will be a better person for it.

In order to get your manifestation you need to feel like you deserve it. So stop perceiving yourself as a person who doesn’t deserve the best in life. Let your self concept be about having your dream reality. Let your self concept support your manifestations. You can make your dream a reality. You deserve to have anything you want in life. You deserve to have a magical life.
