guide to living 2025

hello darlings,

in a wee break from regular programming (or perhaps an introduction to new programming), i bring to you camille's corner. our first edition: the ins and outs of 2025, as dictated by me.

ins

<3 practicing mindfulness (meditation = in; journaling out anxiety = in; walking away nerves = in)

<3 consuming enlightening media (reading classical texts = in; watching fascinating documentaries = in; listening to edifying podcasts = in)

<3 incorporating creativity (knitting/crocheting project = in; reworking vintage clothing = in; painting watercolors = in)

<3 moving meaningfully (scheduling walks w friends = in; committing to solo runs = in; practicing a new sport = in)

outs

<3 misusing time/energy (unfulfilling friendship/relationship = out; mindless procrastination = out; semi-intentionally spiraling = out)

<3 misusing money (ubering = out; delivering food unnecessarily = out; frequently buying fast fashion = out)

this year is the year of you. you define your time, your energy, your money, your friends.

you have the power. use it.

guide to living - january

hello darlings,

with the cold of january i encourage you to awake the heat in your soul. show the world your power.

our word of the month is...determined.

how to exert determined energy

<3 know where you are now in the scheme of each personal objective. have you accomplished any pre-winter goal? where have you fallen on the spectrum of completion? (are you further from the goal than previously?)

<3 understand that you are a fluid human being with great capacity for change. your current status does not denote your future in both the positive and negative regards. if you are proud of your standing, know that you must continue furthering your efforts to maintain your happiness. if you wish to change your lifestyle, know that you have the ability to do so.

<3 intentionally assign your current headspace an era. if you wish to alter your state of mind, manifest thought patterns that correspond to your desired self. if you wish to maintain your headspace, understand which trains of thought assist your positive state.

make peace with your present; you are who you are in this instant, and you are beautiful. use your power to shape your future.

this month is yours, so use your time intentionally. flourish!

guide to living - may

hello darlings,

as we navigate another beautiful month of spring, let us strive for balance among the our responsibilities and interests.

our word of the month is...harmonious.

how to manifest harmonious energy

<3 understand what drives you. channel these values and emotions towards productivity in the areas that influence your life most.

<3 schedule rest. embrace intentional breaks as part of your schedule rather than suffering guilty bouts of procrastination.

<3 grasp your limits. rationally devote time to your hobbies while maintaining clarity with regards to your duties.

this month is yours, so use your time intentionally. flourish!

guide to living tip iii.

how to implement satisfying substitutions

uplifting balance and inspirational discipline.

i dedicate this tip to all you darlings in search of a rewarding lifestyle.

<3 visualize. what is your dream lifestyle? in this desired life, how do you feel? how do you act?

<3 reflect. which habits do you already have that align with your goals? take note -- do not alter these helpful routines. in which behavior do you currently partake that contradicts your dream lifestyle? take note -- you will work to change these habits.

<3 brainstorm. in what ways can you meaningfully enact change in your current routine? how have you organized your life until now? have you been passive or purposeful?

<3 set intentions that mix journey with destination. "i devote myself to [insert substitution] to [insert lifestyle goal]." understand that you will experience setbacks along your path of self-improvement. know that you can and will overcome these obstacles -- enjoy the adventure.

<3 begin. there is no time better than the present. discipline will aid you immensely as you traverse these newly charted territories. incorporate positive affirmations on good days and worse days. create routine.

the best substitutions are realistic, gradual, and deliberate. want to [insert activity that requires certain clothing] more? set the specific outfit by your dresser the night before. wish to consume [insert drink/food] more/less? reserve a visible spot in the pantry or the counter/make the product less conspicuous or remove entirely.

your mind and body are powerful because of you. you dictate your path. you have the power.

dear darling,

i continue to plod towards my goals even as the journey tires me. forging a more productive routine proves cumbersome but i persist.

cultivating such habits will bring my soul peace. even now, the endeavor alone generates peace in my mind. i know i am doing whatever i can to reach my goals. i know i exist in the right place, at the right time, doing the right thing.

please give me strength to continue my self-healing.

[camillecorrigan]

guide to living entry xxiv.

dear darling,

i thrive even in my stressful atmosphere as i exert self-discipline. over the past few days i have never felt better. accomplished, motivated, happy.

while nerves and sadness peak in every few hours my self-induced motivation has helped usher these negative sentiments away. i feel more in control than i have since months past.

i picture myself achieving my goals and work towards that mental image.

please give me strength.
