✦ — repetition eats negative thoughts alive 👏🏽✨

repetition is your secret weapon—it literally reprograms your mind to match the reality you want, kicking out negative thoughts and fast-tracking your manifestation into the 3d.

here’s the magic: every time you repeat a thought or affirmation, you’re taking a sledgehammer to outdated beliefs rooted in doubt, fear, or negativity. sure, those old thoughts might still sneak up at first, but with each repetition, they lose their grip.

you’re training your mind to embrace a new, upgraded truth that aligns with your desire. and when these positive beliefs take over? your inner world reflects in the 3d, and boom—your manifestation shows up, all thanks to your boss-level consistency.

💗🦄DO YOU FEEL LIKE YOUR AFFIRMATIONS ARE NOT WORKING ? 🦄🎀

💗PERSIST.

That's the solution to your problem. Your old story was once a thought too but a negative one , you persisted in it so the thought became dominant and dominant thoughts manifest so the old story became a reality.

🦄All you need to do is PERSIST

Persist in your new affirmations , the more you persist in your new story , the more dominant it will become . Once your affirmations become your new story , your new story becomes dominant , it will manifest.

💗To make your new story dominant , become aware when you are entertaining the old story. Follow mental diet , ask yourself " does this thought align with my dream life ?" If the answer is no , affirm what aligns with your dream life.

🦄REPETITION IS THE KEY

Ignore the old story , saturate your mind with the new story .

How to bring *luxury* into your life while on a budget

Luxury on a budget is absolutely achievable! It's about focusing on creating an experience of indulgence and pampering, rather than just expensive things. Here are some ideas:

Redefine Luxury for You:

Focus on Experiences: Luxury isn't just material possessions. Think about what makes you feel truly pampered and relaxed. Is it a long, candlelit bath with a good book? A picnic in a scenic spot? Prioritize experiences that create lasting memories.

Quality over Quantity: Invest in a few key items you'll love and use for years, rather than buying a lot of cheap things. This could be anything from a luxurious body lotion to a cozy throw blanket.

Create a Luxurious Atmosphere at Home:

Declutter and Deep Clean: A clean and organized space instantly feels more luxurious. Light some scented candles, put on some calming music, and dim the lights for a spa-like atmosphere.

DIY Spa Treatments: Skip the expensive spa and recreate the experience at home. Give yourself a foot massage with homemade sugar scrub, use a facial mask made with natural ingredients, or draw a relaxing bath with essential oils.

Elevate Everyday Activities: Take the time to savor a cup of tea in the morning. Set the table for dinner with nice plates and silverware, even if it's just a simple meal.

Seek Out Free or Low-Cost Luxuries:

Embrace Nature: Take a hike in a beautiful park, have a picnic by the beach, or simply sit outside and enjoy the fresh air. Nature is a free and luxurious way to de-stress and reconnect.

Cultural Gems: Many museums and galleries offer free or discounted admission days. Check your local library for free museum passes or online resources for virtual tours of famous collections.

Learn a New Skill: Taking a free online class in something that interests you, like photography or cooking, can be a stimulating and luxurious way to spend your time.

Remember: Luxury is about feeling good and taking care of yourself. By being creative and resourceful, you can incorporate these elements into your life, regardless of your budget.

Little things that improved my life 𝜗𝜚˚⋆

Accepting my sleep schedule. I'm a night owl; I focus at night, I'm calm at night, I'm motivated at night. For a long time, I tried to fight this since everyone always preaches getting up early, but since I started accepting my natural sleep schedule, I've been feeling a lot better and have become way more productive.

"drink more water". TEA. Tea is the secret here. I will be honest, I hate drinking water; it doesn't matter if I have a cute water bottle or a cute glass, I still hate it. TEA.

Replying quickly. I used to be one of those people who get a text message and think, "Oh, I'll reply to that later", and then just forget about it entirely. Now, I text back as soon as I see the message. This has not only improved my texting anxiety (which I cause on my own by now replying and then feeling bad) but also deepened my connection to my friends. <3

Keeping my circle small and being okay with that. Over the past months, I've had this sudden urge to expand my social circle and get to know more and more people, especially after I moved in August. However, this quickly ended in what I like to call my "social burnout". I was tired, annoyed, and overwhelmed. It took a few weeks for it to settle, but I've come to the conclusion that I would much rather have a smaller circle of people who I trust and love deeply than a huge group of friends, and that's totally okay.

Wearing what I like. Even though I live in a big city, I'd still say that my style can sometimes be a bit more extravagant than what most people wear, another point is that I'm very uncomfortable with pants so I only wear skirts, which is also considered a bit odd where I live. But over the past years, I've come to accept that and have become so sure of myself and found such comfort in my style that I now just wear whatever I like, and it makes every day a little bit nicer.

Reading and writing for pleasure. Reading books outside of my studies and spending time researching topics that simply interest me is such a great way to calm your mind. Same for writing, I always like to say that to write is to think; putting your thoughts on paper in cohesive and well-crafted sentences that you can then reread and think over again is such a liberating thing to do.

Reaching out more. fuck the whole "double texting" and "no contact" thing. If you want to speak to someone because they mean something to you, then just do it. Unless they specifically asked for space, you shouldn't feel bad about wanting to be in touch with them. Many even really appreciate it when you show that you truly care. Let's stop the nonchalant act, and instead, let's face deep emotions and true vulnerability. <3

As always, please feel free to share your own little insights and things that helped you improve comments! <3

5 Classics for girly girls 𝜗𝜚˚⋆

Emily of New Moon

The bittersweet process of growing up and finding where you truly belong... The perfect read for the start of a new school year. After her father’s death, Emily Starr is sent to live with her snobbish relatives at New Moon farm. Thrust into an unfamiliar and often cold environment, Emily faces numerous challenges. However, as time passes, she begins to adapt and discovers the beauty in her surroundings. With the support of her new friends—Teddy, Perry, and Ilse—Emily not only finds solace but also discovers her own creative talents, helping her carve out a place for herself in this new chapter of her life.

“If it's IN you to climb you must -- there are those who MUST lift their eyes to the hills -- they can't breathe properly in the valleys.”

Jane Eyre

A true classic for all my fellow gothic-lit enthusiasts, Jane Eyre, reminds us that everyone deserves a love that consumes, challenges, and transforms the very core of your being, offering both profound joy and deep heartache (we love a good situationsship). Following Jane Eyre, an orphaned and mistreated girl who endures a harsh upbringing but grows into a strong, independent woman. As she takes a position as a governess at Thornfield Hall, she encounters the enigmatic Mr. Rochester, sparking a profound and tumultuous romance. Their intense connection is marred by secrets and personal demons, revealing the complexities of their relationship.

“Jane, be still; don't struggle so like a wild, frantic bird, that is rending its own plumage in its desperation." "I am no bird, and no net ensnares me; I am a free human being, with an independent will; which I now exert to leave you.”

The Secret Garden

Mary Lennox, a spoiled and neglected girl, is sent to live with her uncle after the death of her parents. Initially ill-tempered and withdrawn, Mary’s curiosity is sparked by rumours of a hidden, abandoned garden on the estate. As she explores and begins to restore this secret garden, she experiences a beautiful shift (glow-up era). The once gloomy and sickly Mary starts to bloom alongside the garden, rediscovering happiness, vibrancy, and a sense of belonging, making the story a heartwarming tale of growth and recovery.

“At first, people refuse to believe that a strange new thing can be done, then they begin to hope it can be done, then they see it can be done--then it is done, and all the world wonders why it was not done centuries ago.”

Pride and Prejudice

Truly a classic that has shaped my romantic expectations hahah... Elizabeth Bennet battles societal expectations and her own misjudgments in 19th-century England. When the aloof Mr Darcy (he'd totally be a ghoster in the 21st century just saying...) first crosses her path, their initial encounters are fraught with tension and misunderstanding. However, as Elizabeth delves deeper, she uncovers the complexities of Darcy’s character and her own heart.

“I could no longer help saying that I loved him. I loved him not only for his sake but for his own sake. I loved him because he was the only person who had ever really loved me for myself. I loved him because he had made me feel that I was worthy of being loved.”

The Little Prince

A young, otherworldly prince from a tiny planet travels across the universe, meeting various inhabitants and learning profound life lessons. His journey brings him to Earth, where he encounters a stranded pilot and shares his reflections on love, loss, and the essence of human connections. Through whimsical adventures and encounters, The Little Prince explores the importance of seeing with the heart rather than the eyes and reminds us of the value of friendship and innocence.

“It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye. The most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or touched; they are felt with the heart.”

you guys asked for more academia/book stuff so I thought this might be a nice start, especially since I know that many of you are just getting into classics; these are all very much suitable for beginners!! <3

୨୧ looks ୨୧ what’s great about angels is they all carry their beauty in their own unique form, but they keep many things common between all of them, the common denominator being a look of health, whether that be their glowing complexion or their toned bodies, victoria secret angels all have this in common. to achieve such a look opt for glowy skin, preferably with a tan. using a tinted moisturiser, a glowy bronzer and of course some highlighter to achieve that beautiful angel skin should suffice. as for hair, a shiny bouncy blowout is always the best way to top off your angel face, all you need is some rollers and your wings! there are two things that angels are never seen with out, although one of these is quite unattainable to most of us as we don’t just have wings lying around, we can always wear a beautiful smile!

୨୧ personality ୨୧ angels are sweet, soft and simple! they are soft spoken, never raising their voice too much (although an excited scream is common to all of us, we’re girls after all!) and especially not cursing. being kind to everyone is essential, as although you have your gorgeous face, all of that can easily be overshadowed by rudeness, beauty shines from within! for simplicity, angels appreciate the simple things, and are excited to have them, adriana couldn’t have been more excited to have a photo booth picture taken, although she gets many pictures taken daily!

୨୧ outfits ୨୧ when angels aren’t prancing around in their silky pink and white robes, they have a simple yet effective model off-duty look. essentials include, an off the shoulder jumper of sorts, a cute pair of jeans that extenuate their figure best, a beautiful pair of boots and of course a pair of yoga pants! i would associate their off duty style with the 2014 tumblr girl look and the pink pilates princess look, as angels are always working out, so cute workout clothes are an essential, and as the old saying goes, everything looks better in pink!

୨୧ lifestyle ୨୧ an angels day is extremely hectic, from sipping matcha with the other angels on a hot girl walk to hit her 10,000 step goal by day to walking the runway by night, angels have a jam packed daily schedule. luckily for most of us, our days are a lot more manageable. to embody the day of an angel, is quite simple really. as a general, include at least one form of excersise, as fitness is one of the most crucial factors of an angels day, whether this be kickboxing like gigi or ballet like candace or simply a brisk speed walk to increase our heart rates, any form of movement is essential. make sure to include time for your girls too, after all, the angels are always seen together, and the crude amount of fitness in their daily lives may seem more manageable when done with friends!

that’s all for today loves and i hope you enjoyed! remeber you don’t have to include all of these things in your life as you are perfect the way you are, but rather build these things into your already beautiful self to reach your highest potential, as the title suggests!

how to brain dump like a pro

what you need

a messy notebook (I like the Leuchturm bullet ones)

a pen

a beverage for emotional support (or several <3)

how to get started

grab your notebook, and sit down in a quiet moment with enough time so you won't stress even more. The point of a brain dump is to unload all your thoughts, everything that is stressing you is put to paper. not aesthetically, no cutesy Pinterest vibes; we need it plain, unromanticised, and personal.

some prompts to get you going

do I have any deadlines coming up?

have I been making time for myself and my hobbies?

what projects, tasks, appointments, and/ or plans are currently stressing me out?

am I procrastinating anything?

am I properly looking after myself? (mental/physical health, skincare, hobbies, school/work, etc etc)

am I currently working through any challenges, and if yes how is that going so far?

how are my friends/relationships doing?

is there an area in my life that I should prioritise right now?

do I feel confident and comfortable at the moment?

Review and reflect

take some time and go over your writing; you can underline or highlight the points that you find most important. make this whole "brain dump" thing a routine; sometimes it takes a bit of writing until you actually get comfortable with putting your emotions onto paper (it sounds easier than it is..), but the more often you do this, the more comfortable you will get!! <3

As always, please feel free to share your own suggestions and tips in the comments! <3

love ya ･:*₊‧✩
