The secret to being really hot - eating healthy! Let’s not even focus on weight loss. You will literally have your hair growing, skin glowing, a happy body, more energy, more confidence since you are practicing self control and taking care of your body (our personal machine), and healthy eating literally can help fight depression! Don’t sleep on eating your fruits and veggies guys!

If the right way is too hard, fuck it. Do it the wrong way.

Folding clothes keeps you from getting the laundry done? Stop folding clothes. Put a basket in your room and throw your unfolded clean stuff into it right out of the dryer, it's fine.

Rinsing dishes off keeps you from loading the dishwasher? Load them dirty and run it twice.

Chopping onions keeps you from making yourself dinner? Buy the freezer bags of chopped onions.

You forget to take your meds and don't want to get out of bed to get them? Start putting them next to the bed.

Can't keep up with the dishes? Get paper plates. Worried about environment impact? Order biodegradable ones online if your local store doesn't have one.

Make the task easier. Put things where you use them instead of where they "go." Eliminate the steps that keep you from finishing the task. Eliminate the task that is stressing you out.

Do it the "wrong" way. It's literally fine.

mundane tasks like wiping down surfaces & folding the laundry can be spiritual practices and even blessings if we allow them to be

I HAVE TO DO THE WORK SO THAT MY LIFE CAN BE DIFFERENT AND I CAN REAP THE BENEFITS

[hyacinthestouch]

YEAH

[hyacinthestouch]

my silent comeback is about to cause a lot of noise

[hyacinthestouch]

I wake up

it’s late

but that doesn’t mean anything to me anymore

it doesn’t mean I can’t open the blinds and enjoy my breakfast

it doesn’t mean I can’t do my skincare and make my coffee

it doesn’t mean the day is lost

so I did all of the above, for the first time in a while. and I’m proud of that. I’m proud of me.

[hyacinthestouch]

today I start again. I always say that. I always start again. every time I’m one step closer to my goal. every day is another page of my journey.

[hyacinthestouch]

Get over the shame and the lack of confidence and the fear of failure and the imposter syndrome. Nobody cares. Some people are cruel and mean and love to watch others fail. So what? Do you really want to prove them right? Get the fuck up, we’re chasing our dreams like our lives depend on it because, in case you forgot, they do.

[hyacinthestouch]

start now. get up now. act now.

Sometimes self-care is, actually, NOT getting onto the computer and little treats and watching youtube videos. Sometimes those things are self-care, but sometimes they're also avoidant behaviors.

Sometimes self care is waking up and just. Fucking getting in the car. And driving to the bank. And the store. And buying the cat litter. And changing the cat boxes you've been avoiding because your brains been stuck in a hole. And picking up the trash you've been piling up. And getting a load into the wash. And mowing the lawn before the village council sends you a formal complaint and potential-fines warning.

Like its hard and annoying to do because it sucks. It sucks so much. But if I don't start working on this pile of bullshit I've let build up because it stinks and i was stuck in deer-in-headlights mode, I risk letting it turn into fuckery. I do not have the patience for fuckery that I once - foolishly! - thought I had.

Burning Sage.

Reblog in 5 seconds to cleanse that negativity holding onto you.

you deserve to be a priority. not an option. a damn priority. you are worthy of that.

[hyacinthestouch]

You deserve peace. Take a breath in. Picture a future where you are surrounded by the people who care about you, where you are full of light and the world is calm. Breathe out. This world is possible. A happy future is not something confined to a hypothetical tomorrow, it is something that grows nearer and nearer with every passing day until you are there and have landed joyfully where you are meant to be. That place will change over the years, but you will find your way, again and again. Joy is possible.
