AFFIRMATIONS FOR LIMITING BELIEFS

𓆩♡𓆪 𓆩♡𓆪 𓆩♡𓆪

❥ i lovingly and peacefully withdraw any limiting beliefs, emotions and tension

❥ i just remembered that everything always works out for me

❥ i never need to do anything to get what i want

❥ i know i get anything i want because it’s literally a law

❥ i just realised how powerful i truly am and i now take back all my power

❥ if i say that i don’t have it, i am literally lying to myself because i literally have what i want

❥ i always been able to manifest because i have been doing it all my life, and even in this second i’m manifesting from my 4d

❥ creation is finished. therefore my desire has already been created

❥ i now take all my power back. i am deeply apologising to myself for even thinking for a second i couldn’t have what i want when i know i have always gotten what i want

❥ silly me. i tricked myself into thinking it wasn’t gonna work out when me even thinking like that manifested my desired results anyways because everything is rigged in my favour

❥ wow all i did was be alive and be pretty and i got exactly what i wanted literally in less than a second

❥ i am self assured knowing that everything is rigged in my favour

❥ i am a manifesting god

❥ i am so powerful, even if i don’t feel like it

❥ no matter that i am feeling or seeing in front of me, i KNOW i have what i want because i said so

❥ no matter what i am thinking, i always manifested my desired outcome

❥ the universe helps overcome these limiting beliefs

❥ i know i deserve only good things in this universe

❥ i fully release anything unwanted thoughts that no longer serve me

❥ i permanently remove all self doubt and worries

❥ i am the creator of my reality

❥ i fully trust myself and i know i already have everything i want in this life

❥ i live life in peace knowing i have everything i want

“Her [Jane Austen’s] genius began with the recognition that such lives as hers were very eventful indeed — that every life is eventful, if only you know how to look at it. She did not think that her existence was quiet or trivial or boring; she thought it was delightful and enthralling, and she wanted us to see that our own are, too. She understood that what fills our days should fill our hearts, and what fills our hearts should fill our novels.”

— A Jane Austen Education: How Six Novels Taught Me About Love, Friendship, and the Things That Really Matter by William Deresiewicz. (via halfagony-halfhope)

Out of all the cool stuff that mythbusters ever shot on high speed camera, shooting a soccer ball at 60mph out of a truck traveling 60mph is one of my favorites

Just look at it. It is the most perfect visual representation of Newton’s 2nd law of physics I’ve ever seen. The ball, which was shot out of a CANNON, drops straight down. Two equal and opposite velocities completely canceling each other out, leaving the soccer ball to drop to the earth with a net velocity of 0. Sir issac newton would be proud to tears of this gif.

And yet this “myth” is nothing more than basic physics at work. A 10 year old with an interest in science could have told us this is possible. 60mph in one direction minus 60mph the exact opposite direction is 0. Basic.

But what makes this so frieken cool is the fact that they went through all the trouble to actually demonstrate the invisible laws that govern the way our universe works. To get this shot both the soccer ball and the truck had to be moving at the exact same speed. Real world variables make that extremely difficult to pull off. It took them hundreds of attempts to get it right. They went through all that trouble to “prove” something we have known as fact for hundreds of years. And we get this amazing gif to watch as a result.

Mythbusters is incredible. Science is incredible. And the fact that this experiment in physics can be used in science classes for years and years to come to help children learn about physics is incredible.

they should invent a life that is liveable and a sleep that comes easy and a winter that doesn't feel like decay and a spring that doesn't feel like the past and a head that doesn't hurt and a heart that doesn't sit in your chest like a rock and a body that doesn't hate you and a hometown that doesn't make you lose your mind and a university that won't kill you they should invent a me that is normal I think that would be really neat. ok good night I love you

OKAY THIS ARTICLE IS SO COOL

I'm going to try to explain this in a comprehensible way, because honestly it's wild to wrap your head around even for me, who has a degree in chemistry. But bear with me.

Okay, so. Solids, right? They are rigid enough to hold their shape, but aside from that they are quite variable. Some solids are hard, others are soft, some are brittle or rubbery or malleable. So what determines these qualities? And what creates the rigid structure that makes a solid a solid? Most people would tell you that it depends on the atoms that make up the solid, and the bonds between those atoms. Rubber is flexible because of the polymers it's made of, steel is strong because of the metallic bonds between its atoms. And this applies to all solids. Or so everybody thought.

A paper published in the journal Nature has discovered that biological materials such as wood, fungi, cotton, hair, and anything else that can respond to the humidity in the environment may be composed of a new class of matter dubbed "hydration solids". That's because the rigidity and solidness of the materials doesn't actually come from the atoms and bonds, but from the water molecules hanging out in between.

So basically, try to imagine a hydration solid as a bunch of balloons taped together to form a giant cube, with the actual balloon part representing the atoms and bonds of the material, and the air filling the balloons as the water in the pores of the solid. What makes this "solid" cube shaped? It's not because of the rubber at all, but the air inside. If you took out all the air from inside the balloons, the structure wouldn't be able to hold its shape.

Ozger Sahin, one of the paper's authors, said

"When we take a walk in the woods, we think of the trees and plants around us as typical solids. This research shows that we should really think of those trees and plants as towers of water holding sugars and proteins in place. It's really water's world."

And the great thing about this discovery (and one of the reasons to support its validity) is that thinking about hydration solids this way makes the math so so so much easier. Before this, if you wanted to calculate how water interacts with organic matter, you would need advanced computer simulations. Now, there are simple equations that you can do in your head. Being able to calculate a material's properties using basic physics principles is a really big deal, because so far we have only been able to do that with gasses (PV=nRT anyone?). Expanding that to a group that encompasses 50-90% of the biological world around us is huge.

Hey, I'm also a mechanical engineering student, which year are you in?

Hey :)

I'm in my fifth semester (out of seven). I will probably also do a master's degree (three or four semesters; depends on the university). So my plan is to be finished in three years :D

Happy International Women in Engineering Day to me and all my fellow engineering colleagues out there💓😌

One month left until my exams. I already know that this will be a stressful period as I will still have to work in my internship company and drive back to my hometown to take my exams.

Luckily, this semester, I am only registered for five exams, and most of them are not really complicated or have a huge amount of contens I have to study.

Also, I think this is the first time I post a picture of myself? So this is kind of a face reveal.

For all new people on my blog:

Hey, you can call me Coco (from cocoa). I am 21 years old and a mechanical engineering student from Germany. In the future, I would like to work in the motorsport industry as a race or performance engineer.

Welcome to my studyblr. Make yourself cozy and let's have a good time🩷

Finally, I found time to make a post.

My internship started one month ago and it is soo exciting. Unfortunately I can't post to many pictures of what I am doing.

I already learnt so much and finished my first little projects. Even though many of them were nerve-wracking, I luckily could finish all by myself (yet xd).

Like I said a few posts ago, I had to move to another "Bundesland" (state) for this internship. So I moved out from my parents and now live with two other students in a flat. I am surprised how fast I adapted to my new lifestyle although I miss my sports team and my dogs.

Two weeks ago the city hosted a "long night of open museums" and I went to visit some of them. At first I hesitated because I didn't want to go alone but in the end it was wonderful to stroll around at your own pace and without having to wait for others.

I think that was it for my update. Will try to keep you updated🤸🏽‍♀️💓

A child of light, so full of hope,

Struggling in life, so hard to cope.

The inner light starts to dim,

The darkness takes over within.

But this child, it stays so brave,

No matter how much they crave.

They fight and they strive,

To make their inner light revive.

The obstacles, they try to impede,

But their courage, it cannot concede.

The light starts to be bright again,

even more than it was then.

The light is so strong, it cannot be tamed,

And life's joy and peace will be reclaimed.

This child of light, they will always be,

The light is theirs, they will be free .

05.01.2023 || Last day of winter break

Some really nice accomplishments in the last two weeks.

Our group projects turned out better than we thought and all of my group members got a 1,0 (best grade in Germany)

Like my post from yesterday said, I got my dream placement as a development and design engineer. Because the company is located in another "Bundesland" (federal state I guess), I will have to move there for six months but we got this ^^

My exams start in three weeks but for the first time I am not overly anxious even though I have to pass most of them to be able to attend my placement.

Now I am laying with my dogs at the couch. We just got back from work and will take a short nap before I go ice skating in the afternoon.

Will write a longer post tomorrow but just wanted to share that I had my first ever job interview today (it was for a 6 month placement at one of the bigger companies here in Germany).

I was so nervous and a jiggling gibberish mess but the person I talked to said he liked my vibes and qualifications and OFFERRD ME THE PLACEMENT!!! In the interview! Without needing time to think!

I am so so happy💓 Two years ago I had a bad depressive episode and couldn't function without my therapist and now I landed my first "job"

Younger-me would be so proud of how far I've come🥰

My group and me trying to finish our project

Smart guy: I found the information we need!

IT guy: Nice, which page?

Smart guy: On the bottom of page 324

Me: But which book? :):

Today is an important day for me as a woman in engineering.

On this day 33 years ago a man, who believed, that us women were getting too powerful and that "feminists destroyed his life" went into a mechanical engineering class at L'École Polytechnique in Montreal and k!lled 14 women, 14 more were severely injured.

He decided to k!ll them because they were simply women. Many of them were as old as I am now. They had their whole life in front of them and is was taken away from them. Today I want to remember their names:

Geneviève Bergeron

Hélène Colgan

Nathalie Croteau

Barbara Daigneault

Anne-Marie Edward

Maud Haviernick

Barbara-Maria Klucznick-Widajewicz

Maryse Laganière

Maryse Leclair

Anne-Marie Lemay

Sonia Pelletier

Michèle Richard

Annie St-Arneault

Annie Turcotte

Last semester I was mad because nobody did something for the group project.

This semester I am mad because this one person is doing all the work and not leaving any tasks for us, so our professor thinks we are just lazy. Tried to explain to her that we do not even get the chance to do something.
