10 Tips for Developing a Daily Writing Practice

Every year, we’re lucky to have great sponsors for our nonprofit events. Scrivener, a 2023 Camp NaNoWriMo sponsor, is an award-winning writing app designed to help you get writing and keep writing. Here, Scrivener user and first time Camper, Bookstagrammer, aspiring author, and visual storyteller Yeldah Yousfi shares her tips on how to write consistently:

Writing consistently is one of the most important habits to cultivate if you want to become a better writer and reach your Camp NaNoWriMo target. However, while developing a habit of daily writing practice is useful for exercising your writing skills, it can be difficult to maintain.

Here are ten tips that I personally use for developing a habit of writing consistently every day:

1. Set a schedule. 

One of the most important steps to developing a consistent writing habit is to set a schedule. Set aside a specific time every day that you can dedicate to writing—even if you just try this during Camp. This will help you to make writing a routine part of your day, and it will also make it easier to stay motivated and avoid procrastination.

2. Create a writing space.

It’s important to have a designated space that is comfortable and conducive to writing. This could be a home office, a library, or even a cafe. Whatever you choose, make sure it is comfortable and free of distractions so that you can focus on your writing.

3. Track your progress.

Keeping track of your writing progress can help keep you motivated and on track. This could be as simple as making a checklist of goals for each day or tracking your word count so you can see how much you’ve written each day. 

4. Set achievable goals.

Having realistic goals is essential for staying motivated. It’s best to set smaller goals that are achievable in the short-term, such as writing 500 words a day, rather than trying to tackle a huge project all at once.

5. Take breaks.

Taking breaks (no matter how short) can help you stay focused, energized, and allows for the mind to rest and to process the material that was just written. Taking a short break every two hours or so will help you to stay productive and prevent burnout. Walking outside always makes me feel better, and I find it helps generate more ideas.

6. Read, read, read.

One of the best ways to become a better writer is to read, especially reading books in the genre you are writing in. Reading helps to open the mind to new ideas, concepts, and possibilities. You can also use the work of other authors to learn more about the craft of writing and to help you come up with ideas for your own work.

7. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes.

Making mistakes is a part of the writing process. When you start writing, keep writing, even if it’s only for ten minutes. It probably won’t be perfect (or even good if it’s your first-time writing), but that’s okay—the more you write, the better you will become. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes and learn from them as you go.

8. Have a support system and a writing partner.

Having a support system that you can reply on can be a great help in staying motivated and on track with your daily writing goals. This could be a friend or family member, or pick a Camp Counselor or writing group from the Camp forums. They can provide encouragement and help to keep you accountable. Additionally, having someone who is willing to read and give feedback on pieces of writing can be invaluable. 

9. Reward yourself.

Celebrate your successes and reward yourself for your progress. Whether it’s a special treat or just a pat on the back, make sure to recognize your achievements and reward yourself for reaching your goals.

10. Take it one step at a time.

Writing is a process, and it takes time to develop a consistent writing habit. Don’t get discouraged if you don’t make progress right away. Just keep going and take it one step at a time.

Developing a consistent writing habit is essential for improving your writing skills and becoming a better writer. By following these ten tips, you can develop a habit of writing every day and make it a routine part of your life. Try it through July and see!

Tips and Tricks for Writing Your First Book I have learned as a Newbie Writer

Writing a book is a thrilling, yet daunting, journey. Whether you’re crafting a novel, memoir, or non-fiction, the process requires dedication, creativity, and a bit of strategy. Here are some tips and tricks to help you navigate the path to becoming a published author.

1. **Start with a Strong Idea**

Every great book begins with a compelling idea. Spend time brainstorming and refining your concept. Ask yourself:

- What message or story do I want to share?

- Who is my target audience?

- What makes my idea unique?

A well-defined idea serves as a solid foundation for your book.

2. **Create an Outline**

An outline helps organize your thoughts and provides a roadmap for your writing. It doesn’t have to be detailed, but it should cover the main points or chapters. This structure will keep you focused and prevent you from straying too far off track.

3. **Set Realistic Goals**

Writing a book is a marathon, not a sprint. Set achievable daily or weekly word count goals. Consistency is key. Even writing a small amount each day can lead to significant progress over time.

4. **Establish a Writing Routine**

Find a time and place where you can write without distractions. Whether it’s early in the morning, during lunch breaks, or late at night, stick to your routine. Consistent writing habits will help you stay disciplined and productive.

5. **Just Write**

Don’t get bogged down by perfectionism. Your first draft doesn’t have to be flawless. Focus on getting your ideas down on paper. You can always revise and polish later. The most important thing is to keep moving forward.

6. **Embrace Revisions**

Writing is rewriting. Once you’ve completed your first draft, take a break before revising. This will give you a fresh perspective on your work. Be prepared to make significant changes. Consider feedback from trusted readers or editors to improve your manuscript.

7. **Research and Read**

If you’re writing non-fiction, thorough research is crucial. For fiction writers, reading widely in your genre can provide inspiration and insight into what works and what doesn’t. Analyze the structure, style, and character development in books you admire.

8. **Develop Your Characters**

For fiction writers, creating believable and relatable characters is essential. Spend time developing their backstories, motivations, and personalities. Characters should drive your plot and engage your readers.

9. **Stay Organized**

Keep track of your research, notes, and drafts in an organized manner. Use digital tools like Scrivener, Evernote, or Google Docs to store your materials. Staying organized will save you time and reduce stress.

10. **Take Care of Yourself**

Writing can be mentally and physically demanding. Take regular breaks, stay hydrated, and get enough sleep. Exercise and relaxation techniques can help maintain your overall well-being and keep your creativity flowing.

11. **Join a Writing Community**

Connecting with other writers can provide support, motivation, and valuable feedback. Join writing groups, attend workshops, or participate in online forums. Sharing your experiences and challenges with others can make the writing process less isolating.

12. **Stay Persistent**

There will be times when you feel stuck or discouraged. Remember that every writer faces these challenges. Keep pushing forward, even when it’s difficult. Persistence is often the difference between an aspiring writer and a published author.

13. **Learn About Publishing**

Whether you choose traditional publishing or self-publishing, educate yourself about the process. Research agents, publishers, and platforms. Understand the pros and cons of each route to make informed decisions about your book’s future.

14. **Celebrate Milestones**

Writing a book is a significant achievement. Celebrate your progress, whether it’s finishing a chapter, hitting a word count goal, or completing your first draft. Acknowledging your accomplishments will keep you motivated and positive.

Conclusion

Writing a book is a rewarding journey that requires dedication, creativity, and patience. By following these tips and tricks, you’ll be better equipped to navigate the writing process and bring your story to life. Remember, every author’s journey is unique. Find what works best for you and keep writing!

Happy writing!

Enhance Your Productivity: Practical Tips for Reading Faster and Retaining More Information

Reading efficiently is a valuable skill that can significantly enhance your productivity and knowledge retention. Whether you're a student, a professional, or an avid reader, improving your reading speed and comprehension can positively impact various aspects of your life. In this blog, we'll explore practical tips and techniques to help you read faster and absorb information more effectively.

1. Set Clear Reading Goals:

Setting specific reading goals can help you stay focused and motivated. Determine the amount of time you want to dedicate to reading each day and set achievable targets for the number of pages or chapters you aim to cover. This simple practice can create a structured approach to your reading habits and drive consistent progress.

2. Eliminate Distractions:

Create a conducive environment for reading by minimizing distractions. Find a quiet space, turn off electronic devices, or use apps that block notifications during your reading sessions. Distraction-free reading allows you to immerse yourself fully in the material, leading to improved focus and comprehension.

3. Practice Active Reading:

Engage with the text actively by asking questions, summarizing key points, and making connections to your own experiences. Actively processing the material enhances comprehension and retention. It's essential to interact with the content rather than passively scanning through it, as active reading stimulates critical thinking and deeper understanding.

4. Expand Your Vocabulary:

A broader vocabulary enhances reading speed and comprehension. Make an effort to learn new words and their meanings to improve your ability to recognize and understand them while reading. Constantly expanding your vocabulary can lead to faster and more fluent reading.

5. Use a Pointer or Guide:

When reading physical books or printed material, use your finger, a pen, or a ruler to guide your eyes along the lines. This assists in maintaining focus and reduces the tendency for unnecessary re-reading or losing your place in the text.

6. Minimize Subvocalization:

Subvocalization, the habit of silently pronouncing each word while reading, can slow down your reading speed. Practice reducing this tendency to train yourself to process information at a faster pace. Minimizing subvocalization can help you move through the text more efficiently.

7. Improve Eye Movement:

Train your eyes to move smoothly across the page instead of fixating on each word individually. Techniques such as peripheral vision expansion and chunking can help you take in more content at once and enhance your reading speed while maintaining comprehension.

8. Avoid Regression:

Resist the urge to constantly re-read sentences or skip back to previous paragraphs. Stay focused on moving forward through the text, as consistent regression can impede your reading speed and disrupt the flow of information absorption.

9. Select Appropriate Reading Material:

Choose books and articles that align with your interests and reading level. Starting with material you find engaging and accessible can facilitate faster reading and enhanced enjoyment. When you're genuinely interested in the content, you're more likely to read at a quicker pace and retain the information effectively.

10. Practice Speed Reading Techniques:

Experiment with techniques such as skimming, scanning, and meta-guiding to train yourself in processing information at an accelerated pace. These techniques can help you quickly identify key points and main ideas within a text, contributing to an overall improvement in reading speed and efficiency.

Note: Enhancing your reading speed and comprehension is a skill that can be developed with dedication and practice. By implementing the tips and techniques outlined in this blog, you can improve your ability to process information efficiently, ultimately leading to increased productivity and knowledge acquisition.

Remember, while speed reading is beneficial, it's crucial to maintain a balance between speed and comprehension to fully grasp and retain the material. With consistent practice and a focused approach, you can transform your reading habits and amplify your productivity in various areas of your life.

✍️  How to Develop a Writing Routine

If you’re first getting started as a writer, a writing routine can help you establish a habit of writing regularly, improving your productivity and creativity. Writing routines can also help you stay motivated and focused on your work.

📅 The Basics of a Writing Routine

Writing routines are different for every person, and what works for one person might not work for another. You might have to play around and try different things to find what works for you.

Here are some tips to help you establish a writing routine:

Set clear goals. Define your writing goals, whether writing for a set amount of time per day or writing a certain number of words, etc. Having clear goals will provide direction and motivation for your routine.

Determine your optimal writing time. Identify the time of day when you feel most energized, focused, and creative. It could be early morning, late at night, or any other time that works best for you. Choose a time slot that you can consistently dedicate to your writing practice and schedule those blocks of time in a calendar. Treat this time as a non-negotiable appointment.

Create a conducive writing environment. Designate a space that is conducive to writing. It could be a quiet corner in your home, a local coffee shop, or a library. Eliminate distractions as much as possible and set up your writing area with the necessary tools and resources to support your writing process.

Start with manageable commitments. Begin with small, achievable writing goals to build momentum. For example, commit to writing for 15 minutes daily or a specific number of words. As you develop consistency, you can gradually increase the duration or intensity of your writing sessions.

Develop rituals or triggers. Establish rituals or triggers that signal the start of your writing routine. It could be making tea, listening to a particular song, or reading a few pages of a book. These cues help condition your mind to transition into the writing mode and enhance focus.

Experiment and adapt. Be flexible and willing to adjust your routine as needed. If your chosen writing time or location is not working optimally, try different approaches until you find what suits you best. Experiment with different techniques, such as freewriting, outlining, or brainstorming, to discover what enhances your productivity and creativity.

Hold yourself accountable. Find accountability measures that work for you. It could involve sharing your writing goals with a writing partner or joining a writing group where you can regularly discuss your progress. Alternatively, you can use productivity apps or tools that track your writing time or word count.

⭐  The Routines of Famous Authors

If you’re struggling to come up with ideas for your writing routine, try borrowing practices from some authors you might know:

Ernest Hemmingway

“When I am working on a book or a story I write every morning as soon after first light as possible. There is no one to disturb you and it is cool or cold and you come to your work and warm as you write. You read what you have written and, as you always stop when you know what is going to happen next, you go on from there. You write until you come to a place where you still have your juice and know what will happen next and you stop and try to live through until the next day when you hit it again. You have started at six in the morning, say, and may go on until noon or be through before that. When you stop you are as empty, and at the same time never empty but filling, as when you have made love to someone you love. Nothing can hurt you, nothing can happen, nothing means anything until the next day when you do it again. It is the wait until the next day that is hard to get through.”

Kurt Vonnegut

“I awake at 5:30, work until 8:00, eat breakfast at home, work until 10:00, walk a few blocks into town, do errands, go to the nearby municipal swimming pool, which I have all to myself, and swim for half an hour, return home at 11:45, read the mail, eat lunch at noon. In the afternoon I do schoolwork, either teach or prepare. When I get home from school at about 5:30, I numb my twanging intellect with several belts of Scotch and water ($5.00/fifth at the State Liquor store, the only liquor store in town. There are loads of bars, though.), cook supper, read and listen to jazz (lots of good music on the radio here), slip off to sleep at ten. I do pushups and sit ups all the time, and feel as though I am getting lean and sinewy, but maybe not.”

Stephen King

“I sit down, from 8:00 to 8:30, somewhere within that half hour every morning. I have my vitamin pill and my music, sit in the same seat, and the papers are all arranged in the same places…The cumulative purpose of doing these things the same way every day seems to be a way of saying to the mind, you’re going to be dreaming soon.”

Alice Munro

“I write every morning, seven days a week. I write starting about eight o’clock and finish around eleven….I am so compulsive that I have a quota of pages. I’m also compulsive now about how much I walk every day….Three miles every day, so if I know I’m going to miss a day, I have to make it up. I watched my father go through this same thing. You protect yourself by thinking if you have all these rituals and routines then nothing can get you.”

Keep a water bottle by your side and make it your trusty companion throughout the day. Staying hydrated not only supports overall health but also helps control hunger, keeping those midday snack attacks at bay.

3. Mindful Munching: 

Snacking can easily become a mindless habit when you're engrossed in work. Instead of mindlessly munching on chips or cookies, opt for healthier alternatives like nuts, fruits, or veggie sticks. Portion out your snacks beforehand to avoid overeating.

 Leverage technology to track your progress. Use apps or wearable fitness devices to monitor your daily steps, calorie intake, and even your posture. This data can provide valuable insights and keep you accountable on your weight loss journey.

5. Power of Planning:

 Take a few minutes each day to plan your meals and snacks. Having a rough outline of what you'll eat throughout the day can prevent impulsive food choices and help you stay on track with your calorie goals.

6. Stand Tall:

 Consider investing in a standing desk or a convertible desk converter. Alternating between sitting and standing throughout the day not only improves posture but also burns more calories compared to sitting for prolonged periods.

7. Ergonomic Essentials:

 Pay attention to your workspace setup. Invest in an ergonomic chair, keyboard, and mouse to ensure proper alignment and support for your body. A comfortable workspace can prevent discomfort and promote better productivity.

8. Sip Smartly: 

Be mindful of what you're sipping on during work hours. Sugary beverages like soda or energy drinks can contribute to unwanted calories. Opt for healthier options like herbal teas or infused water to stay hydrated without the added sugars.

To avoid distractions, create a dedicated study space that is free from potential distractions. Turn off notifications on your phone and use productivity tools to block distracting websites. Set specific times for studying and avoid multitasking. By minimizing distractions, you can improve focus and productivity during your study sessions.

Distractions - Losing Focus

“Work is hard. Distractions are plentiful. And time is short.”

                                                                                         ― Adam Hochschild

Lack of Consistency

Consistency is really important for doing well in UPSC preparation. It’s key to success. However, many aspirants struggle to maintain a consistent study routine.

To overcome this, establish a daily study schedule and stick to it religiously. Make sure you stick to your study schedule and give it more importance than other things. Set realistic goals for each study session and keep checking how well you're doing. By making studying a habit and sticking to a consistent routine, you can maximize your productivity and progress in your UPSC preparation.

“Success isn't always about greatness. It's about consistency.

Consistent hard work leads to success. Greatness will come.”

                                                                                         ― Dwayne Johnson

Neglecting Health and Adequate Sleep

UPSC preparation can be mentally and physically demanding, and many aspirants neglect their health in pursuit of their goals. However, neglecting your health can have negative consequences on your ability to study effectively. Sleep is essential for cognitive function, memory retention, and overall well-being. However, many aspirants neglect their sleep in favor of studying late into the night. This can lead to sleep deprivation, which can impair your ability to focus, concentrate, and retain information.

To prioritize your health, make sure to get an adequate amount of sleep each night. Aim for at least 7-8 hours of sleep to ensure that your mind and body are well-rested. In addition, make time for regular exercise and physical activity to reduce stress and improve overall well-being. Finally, don't forget to eat a balanced diet and stay hydrated to fuel your body and brain for studying.

Relying on One Study Method

Every aspirant has their own preferred study method, whether it's reading, taking notes, or practicing past papers. However, relying solely on one study method can limit your learning and comprehension.

To overcome this, try diversifying your study methods to engage different parts of your brain. For example, if you're used to reading, try incorporating more visual aids or discussing concepts with peers. Try out various methods of studying until you discover which one suits you the most. By diversifying your study methods, you can improve your understanding and retention of the material.

Negative self-talk can be dangerous to your confidence and motivation. Many aspirants struggle with self-doubt and fear of failure, which can hold them back from reaching their full potential.

To overcome negative self-talk, practice self-compassion and positive affirmations. Instead of focusing on your shortcomings, celebrate your achievements and strengths. Be around friends and family who support you and have faith in your skills. By cultivating a positive mindset and practicing self-love, you can overcome self-doubt and achieve success in your UPSC journey.

Negative Self-Talk - Self-Doubt

"One important key to success is self-confidence.

An important key to self-confidence is preparation."

                                                                                                  ― Arthur Ashe

Trying to Read Everything

UPSC aspirants are often overwhelmed by the sheer volume of reading material available. Many aspirants feel pressured to read every book and resource on a given topic, leading to stress and burnout.

To overcome this, focus on quality over quantity when it comes to reading. Prioritize essential books and resources that cover the core concepts and topics of the UPSC syllabus. Take notes as you read to help reinforce your understanding and retention of the material. Remember, it's better to thoroughly understand a few key concepts than to skim/go through numerous resources without grasping the core concepts.

Disorganization can hinder your ability to study effectively and efficiently. Many aspirants struggle to keep track of study materials, deadlines, and important dates.

To overcome this, create a study schedule and organize your study materials in a systematic manner. Use folders, binders, or digital tools to keep your study materials organized and easily accessible. Break down your study schedule into smaller, manageable tasks and set deadlines for each task. By staying organized, you can reduce stress and improve productivity in your UPSC preparation.

Lack of Organization

“For every minute spent organizing, an hour is earned.”

                                                                                      ― Benjamin Franklin

Misplaced Study Groups

Study groups can be a valuable resource for UPSC aspirants, providing support, motivation, and shared knowledge. However, not all study groups are created equal, and some aspirants may find themselves in study groups that are not conducive to effective studying.

To overcome this, choose study partners wisely and find individuals who are serious and committed to their UPSC goals. Look for study groups or forums where you can engage with like-minded aspirants who share your dedication and enthusiasm for UPSC preparation. By surrounding yourself with supportive and motivated study partners, you can enhance your learning and stay on track with your UPSC goals.

Overcoming negative habits is essential for UPSC aspirants to succeed in their journey. By implementing simple strategies such as breaking tasks into smaller parts, minimizing distractions, maintaining consistency, prioritizing health, diversifying learning methods, fostering a positive mindset, finding a balance between work and study, focusing on quality reading, staying organized, choosing study partners wisely, using the internet judiciously, and prioritizing sleep, aspirants can navigate through challenges effectively and achieve success in their UPSC preparation. Remember, success in the UPSC examination requires dedication, perseverance, and a willingness to overcome obstacles. Keep pushing forward, stay focused on your goals, and believe in yourself—victory is within reach!

Build a Better Writing Routine

Preptober for NaNoWriMo is finally here! As we gear up for a month of novel writing, it's the perfect time to figure out how to create a solid writing routine that will last long after National Novel Writing Month.

Stephen King is known for his 10-page, 2,000-word daily writing routine. Maya Angelou was famous for renting a hotel room to write. Anne Lamott coined the phrase morning pages. Every famous writer has a different routine, but the key is that each writer has a routine. What is the best writing routine for you? One you can actually commit to.

Whether you’re getting ready for NaNoWriMo or would just like to improve the quality of your writing time, getting into the writing habit doesn’t have to be a chore when you find your own creative rhythm.

9 Bonus TIPS FOR CREATING A REGULAR WRITING ROUTINE

Here are nine steps to develop a writing plan that works for you and your schedule.

1. DISCOVER YOUR BEST TIME

Think about the moments when your mind is most awake, alert, and ready to tackle creative challenges. It could be in the morning, afternoon, or even late at night. Finding your peak productivity hours is your secret weapon.

2. SET REALISTIC GOALS

Don’t create a schedule you can’t keep. Make sure your goals are realistic and attainable. Whether you measure by word count, a scene, or simply putting your thoughts on paper, give yourself the freedom to adapt as needed.

3. CREATE YOUR WRITING NOOK

Find a spot where you can comfortably sit with your thoughts. It could be your home office, a cozy cafe, or even the park. Whatever you do, make it inviting and free from distractions.

4. BREAK GOALS Into BITE-SIZED PIECES

If your busy schedule doesn’t allow you to have long writing sessions, break it into small, manageable chunks. Even a few brief, focused minutes can add up to a great story.

5. BE FLEXIBLE

Don't be afraid to shake up your writing schedule. Some writers can find the time to write daily, while others prefer working in longer, more spontaneous bursts. Feel free to mix and match until you find the right fit.

6. TRY A CREATIVE KICKSTART

If you're having trouble starting, daily writing prompts can help spark your creativity and get those words flowing.

7. FIND YOUR COMMUNITY

While the research has been somewhat mixed, the most recent studies reveal that telling others about your goals can help you keep them—as long as you respect their opinion. Consider sharing your writing schedule with a trusted friend or joining a writing group. Friendly faces can offer encouragement, support, and the occasional gentle nudge when needed.

8. DEVELOP A WRITING PLAN

Having a detailed map of your writing journey can keep you on track. Use a story plotter or planner to outline your plot in advance so you always know what you’ll be writing next.

9. GIVE YOURSELF A BREAK

Remember that not every writing session will be a success. Some days, the words will flow more smoothly than others, and that's perfectly fine. Be kind to yourself and maintain a positive outlook.

10 Different Ways to Grow

1. Try Something New

The world has so much to offer. Experiencing new events can help you exit your comfort zone and explore new ways to apply your strengths. With so many activities available, avoiding new experiences can easily hold you back from finding all the ways to enjoy an authentic life. Applying this strategy exposes you to new activities and hobbies as well as amazing people who can boost your confidence and assist you in times of need.

2. What Can I do to Make Tomorrow Better?

This is an incredibly important question, as it helps you identify areas of need. If you ask yourself how to improve for the next day, do not view yourself as inadequate. Part of having a growth mindset is realizing there is always room for improvement, but still remaining confident in your strengths. Once you determine how to improve, you can take actionable steps to reach your goal. Thinking in this way discourages bad habits and encourages far more productive habits.

3. Learn to Really Listen

Give a voice to others and help them bring out their inner strength. Even if you are uninterested in a conversation or disagree with someone, give them the respect they deserve and truly try to comprehend what they state instead of making assumptions. Listening can become more natural if you visualize what the other individual states, and confirm their feelings after they finish speaking. This activity improves your relationship-building skills and builds upon your empathy.

4. Read More

Reading a book exposes you to many new cultures, ideas, and ways to possibly improve yourself. It is arguably the best way to start intellectual growth. Both nonfiction and fiction help boost your memory power and can also give readers a profound sense of enjoyment. Fiction increases one’s empathy as it puts you into the shoes of a character. Nonfiction can help you reflect on past tragedies or mistakes made by others, thus increasing your awareness and giving you a powerful lesson you can easily remember. Make reading a habit instead of unproductive activity.

5. Laugh

It is often stated that laughter is the best medicine. This thinking certainly applies to growth. Instead of fretting about your inadequacies, laugh at your mistakes. Acknowledge what you did wrong, but do so in a lighthearted way. Disassociate negative feelings stemming from missteps to your self-worth, another key aspect of the growth mindset. This keeps your confidence high but allows you to be in tune with your strengths and weaknesses, which is highly beneficial to your development.

6. Give Back

Giving back to your community boost levels of dopamine, thus increasing positive feelings and happiness. Donating time or money, helping out an elderly person, or simply buying more ethical products are all forms of giving back. Doing so aligns your actions with your beliefs and develops a sense of meaning.

7. Set Meaningful Goals and Take Ownership of Your Future

If you create vague goals, formulating a strategy can be difficult and ineffective. Develop specific goals and create a list of ways to achieve them. Ensure your goals are SMART: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Timely. This means having deadlines, making goals achievable, and learning from any mistakes you make.

8. Get Grateful

Since we get used to the many wonderful aspects of our everyday lives, those items and people may be taken for granted. Create a habit out of listing all the individuals and items you are thankful for. Let others know if you appreciate them. Doing so makes them happy and builds a stronger bond between you.

9. Learn to Stand Up for Yourself

Letting your desire to be liked to overtake your priorities can lead to uncomfortable situations. You must learn to prioritize your wellbeing and happiness as opposed to always pleasing others, even if the latter is instinctual. Let others know when you feel unsatisfied or if they are too demanding; do not assume they understand your emotions. This turns a bad situation into an opportunity to express your thoughts and grow to reach a conclusion between both parties.

10. Forgive Others, and Yourself

You probably feel regret when recalling some events. Perhaps you may have even thought of what you would do differently if given the opportunity to change the past. While that is unfortunately impossible, you should find ways to correct the behavior which placed you in a bad situation. Additionally, recognize that you are only human and that a growth mindset does not demand perfection. Learn to keep your own humanity in mind when judging yourself or others. Of course, this is not an excuse to dismiss bad behaviors, but it is simply a reminder not to be overly harsh.

-----------------------------------------------------

All to often, tough circumstances are used as excuses for not investing in personal development. It seems or may seem impossible for someone to grow when going through a stressful event, whatever that may be. Luckily, anyone and everyone can take these steps to better themselves, no matter what their current situation is. I have faith you'll grow into the person you want to be, as long as you give it your all, at giving your all, all the time. Good luck!

As an example I can use my own screen time and, as you can see, I used to spend entire days on socials.

This one's a screen I took a while ago (it's like 4/5 months old) and it's the main reason of why I needed to stop with posting videos on my TikTok accounts.

However, it's important to take breaks from social media to prioritize our mental well-being. We need to self-improve our lives and to discover our hobbies.

So, if you keep scrolling, there's that “guide” that helped me with my "social media detox" process and I hope that can be of help with you too.

In this blog post, we will explore key aspects of healthy living and provide practical tips to help you embark on this transformative path.

Nourish Your Body: Proper nutrition forms the foundation of a healthy lifestyle. Fueling your body with wholesome, nutrient-rich foods helps maintain vitality and supports overall well-being. Consider incorporating the following habits into your daily routine:

c) Reduce Exposure to Toxins: Minimize your exposure to harmful substances by using natural and eco-friendly cleaning products, opting for organic personal care items, and purifying the air in your home with plants or air filters.
