hello! welcome. hi.

Hello and welcome to my blog! :-) Cue crash course on who I am and what this blog is about:

I am a 19 year old girl who is looking to change her life. It’s not that my life is bad, or that I’m unhappy, but I am definitely not living up to my full potential as I could be. I realise that this is the only shot at life I’m going to get so I better try my best at living my life to the fullest!

My hope is that this blog will keep me accountable as I will be recording my progress here. I am aware that perfection is not possible, and that maybe even reaching for perfection is a silly goal, so we are going to quickly eliminate that possibility here. My goal is progress and positivity instead. Of course there are going to be days in which I fail, but those days are as equally important as the days in which I succeed. My hope is that I can write honestly on this blog and look back on it and reflect on my progress.

Now that it’s summer, I have more time on my hands to be able to incorporate new things into my life. And there are a lot of those - I have a lot of things I want to do and changes I want to make, but here is a list of the ones I have thought of at the minute:

sleep at 11, wake up at 6 - sleep is necessary because it gives me energy, and establishing a proper bedtime schedule gives me routine which I so desperately require

eat 3 meals a day - I struggle with this because I live alone now and I am lazy, but no more!

eat healthy - food is fuel and I want to treat my body and respect myself

drink 2 L of water - it has astronomical health benefits, the biggest one being good skin, which I would indeed like!!

work out for 30 minutes - to keep my body healthy, and to be able to open a water bottle by myself

take my vitamin B12 supplement - I don’t want to be deficient as a result of my diet

take a cold shower every day in the morning - builds discipline, wakes me up, and ensures good hygiene

use planner - gives the day focus

write for 30 minutes - if I want to be called a writer, I have to write, and if I want to improve my writing, I need to write!

morning/night routine - again to establish routine in my life

don’t compare myself to others - it is not productive, a complete waste of time, and it only makes me miserable (or happy, in which case that’s not so good either)

don’t wallow in misery - give time to mope but once that time is over, move ON

delete those who don’t give a shit about me - this is a version of self-love, self-care, and self-respect

look steadily into other people’s eyes when they talk - eye contact is confidence and confidence is key

don’t look at old messages - this is stupid and only makes me sad

be open-minded about other people’s recommendations - you could learn something new, and they don’t feel scorned

improve posture - stand tall for health reasons and for confidence (see above: confidence is key)

The list seems quite long, but I am sure there are other ways in which I want to improve myself as well. For now, though, those are all I can think about. Although I can’t completely control everything in my life, there is a lot that I can, and it’s up to me to maximise the opportunities and chances fate throws my way. Some might even argue that I make those opportunities and chances myself... I’m not sure. This wasn’t meant to turn spiritual, but I will say this: I believe in hard work and discipline. So that is what I will be.

Cheers, friends. Thank you for reading this post, and I hope you come along on this journey with me. x
