The lesson is to love yourself. To forgive yourself. To stop giving more than you have. To stop expecting too much from people. To find a way to live in light of your mistakes and preconceptions of love. To be open to what the future presents. To allow things to flow and fall. To break, crash, crumble. To rebuild. The lesson is to never undervalue the importance of self love. And, until you have mastered that, at least in part, to stay away from the things that damage you. I think I have finally understood where some of my pain has come from. I’m ready to move on. I’m ready for my next lesson.

My tips for getting motivated!

So a few days ago someone on Tumblr asked me how she can gain some motivating. So I answered this and I would love to share it with you guys:

1. Set up a goal This could be something big for the future (like going to university next year) or something small that you can work to in a few days (getting an A for your next essay).

2. Make a planning Just start with writing a to-do list and estimate the time you should need. Then find out when you have enough spare time to do your tasks. If you have a lot of time and are feeling creative you can try to make a bullet journal.

3. Find some inspiration Scroll through some studyblr’s and get inspirated by all the hard-working students. You can also watch some TedxTalks or some YouTubers: they really get me motivated to start doing my homework!

4. Just do it To be honest, a lot of people have no motivation to make their homework and there is no secret formula. So stop waiting for that feeling and just do it. Put away your phone now and open up your books; once you’ve started you will realize this isn’t as bad as you thought it would be.

5. Reward yourself I study psychology and I leaned that rewarding is so important to change behaviour. So please reward yourself after a good amount of work done. This could be absolutely anything: candy, a compliment, a good grade, watching netflix or check off a task from your to-do-list (this is why you made a planning!)

If you’re procrastinating right now and looking for a sign to start doing your homework: this is it.
