how to have an alluring and magnetic aura always?? even when you feel insecure 💞

hi pookie!

ok so first, fix the insecure part. because you shouldn't be wanting to be attractive and appealing to others when you're not even that to yourself! people see and feel the vibe of how you feel about yourself and if you're insecure, then they can see that. how do you expect people to love and accept you if you don't yourself?

so first to have a magnetic aura, grow yourself. become confident, evolve as a person, learn new things, be cultured, etc. learn more about yourself first. anyways, heres some tips;

how to be magnetic and alluring

⭐️magnetic people are charismatic! take an interest in others, make them feel seen and heard. to be honest nowadays its not even so hard to do that because so many people are obsessed with their phone or all they do is always talk about themselves. imagine how appreciated someone would feel if you actually took the time to make them feel seen and appreciated and loved as a person? stop focussing on making you look magnetic and alluring, and start focusing on how you can make other people feel better!

also along with this, be kind. you do not wanna be one of those fake confident people who think theyre confident but are actually really rude. no. instead, ask people about their day, check up on them. be a good person. be empathetic and show sincere interest in others!

⭐️your vibration. below i have put a vibration chart. when you are vibrating at a higher level with joy, love, and peace, you can easily attract much more and much better into your life! but when you're vibrating in the lower end of the spectrum in fear, guild, and anger, then people can also sense that and will stay away from you.

to get your vibration higher, what you can do is do things that make you happy, make you laugh! whether thats spending time with people you love, watching a comedy, dancing all your heart out (dancing is a very good option btw), do it and see how you feel after.

⭐️dont overshare about your life. let there be a bit of mystery around you. let people wonder a bit about you. dont tell theme very single story of your life- and learn that its okay if theres parts in a conversation where you're silent and have nothing to say. pausing to actually take the time to think about what to ask is much better then desperately trying to fill the conversations with meaningless stories about yourself.

⭐️BE AUTHENTIC. if youre trying to be someone else or copy their personality, how they talk their style, etc completely- people can sense that low vibrational energy! they can sense that you dont feel comfortable in the person who you are which then makes you more repulsive to others. always be fully and truly yourself.

not everyone will like or love you for being yourself, but you need to stop seeing that something so bad and scary. its actually good to be disliked because then you will attract so many lovely better people for you who love you wholly for the person you are!

⭐️present yourself in the best way possible. a way that makes you feel confident in yourself. a way that makes you step out into the world and truly believe that you can do anything. i dont mean be super obsessed with your looks, but take care of yourself. have good hygiene. smell nice. wear nice clothes that make you feel better. when people see that you're taking care of yourself and you really care about yourself, they will reflect that to you.

⭐️have an open body style! make eye contact and dont close your body- that will make you look reserved and as if you don't want anyone to come to you because you're too scared. don't be afraid to TAKE UP SPACE!

your to-do list:

when you're having a conversation with someone else, listen to all the words they say, how they say it, how they feel about it, then ask questions about it it will much more naturally come to you when you arent spending the entire time thinking about what to say to please them

go check up on a friend or a love one right now. text them saying how are you? let them know you're thinking of them.

start doing your favourite hobbies, stuff that your younger self loved doing.

actually take care of yourself when you go out. get your nails done, brush your hair, lip gloss, etc.

next time you're in a public space/ an event/ party, have an open body langauge and DON'T cross your arms!

do something that will raise your vibration

✧・゜: how i'm learning to trust my creative intuition :・゜✧:・゜✧

hey lovelies! ✨

i've been thinking a lot about creative intuition lately, that quiet inner voice that nudges you toward certain ideas or projects. for the longest time, i was absolutely terrible at listening to it. i'd get these little sparks of inspiration and immediately talk myself out of them. "that's been done before" or "you don't have the skills for that" or my personal favorite: "who do you think you are?"

sound familiar? thought so.

the thing is, i've slowly been learning that my intuition actually knows what it's talking about. those random ideas that pop into my head at 2am or while i'm in the shower? they're not random at all, they're my creative compass trying to guide me toward what truly lights me up.

⋆.ೃ࿔:･ recognizing intuition vs. fear ･:࿔ೃ.⋆

the first big challenge was learning to tell the difference between my intuition and my fear. they can sound weirdly similar sometimes!

my intuition tends to feel like excitement mixed with certainty, like "yes! this!" even when it makes no logical sense. it feels light and expansive, like opening a window in a stuffy room.

fear, on the other hand, feels heavy and contracted. it comes with a lot of "shoulds" and worrying about what other people will think. it's the voice that compares my chapter 1 to someone else's chapter 20.

i started keeping track of when these different voices would speak up, and slowly got better at recognizing which was which.

⋆.ೃ࿔:･ creating space to listen ･:࿔ೃ.⋆

intuition doesn't shout. it whispers. and in our noisy, constantly-connected world, those whispers can get completely drowned out.

i realized i needed to create actual space to hear myself think. for me, that looks like:

morning pages: three pages of stream-of-consciousness writing before looking at my phone

solo walks without podcasts or music (just me and my thoughts)

intentional boredom: staring out windows, lying on the floor, letting my mind wander

reducing input before trying to create output (no scrolling before creative sessions)

it's amazing what starts to bubble up when you're not constantly drowning it out with other people's voices and ideas.

⋆.ೃ࿔:･ the "stupid idea" notebook ･:࿔ೃ.⋆

one of the most helpful tools has been my "stupid idea" notebook, a judgment-free zone where i write down every creative impulse, no matter how ridiculous it seems.

the name is intentionally silly to remind myself not to take it all so seriously. some ideas truly are stupid, and that's perfectly fine! but some turn out to be the beginnings of something meaningful.

the rule is simple: write it all down, evaluate later. this creates a safe space for intuition to speak without immediately being shut down by my inner critic.

⋆.ೃ࿔:･ small intuition experiments ･:࿔ೃ.⋆

trusting your intuition is like building a muscle, you start small and work your way up.

i began with low-stakes creative decisions: which color to use in a drawing, which topic to write about in my journal, which route to take on my walk. when something felt intuitively "right," i'd go with it, even if i couldn't explain why.

gradually, i started trusting my intuition with bigger choices: which project to pursue, which opportunities to say yes to, which creative direction to explore.

with each small win, my confidence in my inner guidance grew stronger.

⋆.ೃ࿔:･ embracing the "wrong" turns ･:࿔ೃ.⋆

here's the thing about intuition: sometimes it leads you down paths that seem to go nowhere. i've followed creative impulses that resulted in projects i never finished or ideas that didn't work out.

but i'm learning that these aren't failures, they're necessary detours. every "wrong" turn teaches me something i needed to learn or leads me to connections i wouldn't have made otherwise.

intuition isn't finding the most direct path; it's finding YOUR path, with all its twists and surprises.

⋆.ೃ࿔:･ letting go of external validation ･:࿔ೃ.⋆

perhaps the hardest part of trusting my creative intuition has been detaching from external validation. when you follow your intuition, you might create things that don't immediately resonate with others or fit neatly into what's trending.

i'm still working on this one, honestly. but i've noticed that my most intuitive creations... the ones that felt most aligned with my inner voice, are ultimately the ones people connect with most deeply, even if the audience is smaller.

⋆.ೃ࿔:･ a gentle practice ･:࿔ೃ.⋆

trusting your creative intuition isn't a destination, it's an ongoing practice. some days i'm better at it than others. sometimes fear still wins. but each time i choose to listen to that quiet inner knowing, it gets a little louder, a little clearer.

if you're struggling to trust your own creative voice, start small. create tiny spaces of silence. write down the whispers. follow the sparks of excitement. and be patient with yourself when you forget.

xoxo, mindy 🤍

@118dailydrabble, day 77

@catchascatchcn I'm borrowing Roommates AU for this 😘

“You changed the page layout, not the Lightning record page,” Tommy reminds Charlie. Again. “Gear icon, Edit Page….” Evan wanders into the living room. “I need to step away for a minute.” Tommy mutes and turns off his camera. “Thought you were FaceTiming Abby.”

“Um, the connection dropped. Are you in a meeting?”

“Nope,” Tommy lies. “All yours.”

“Cool. Just making sure you finished the grocery list.”

Evan looks drained. Tommy wants to pull him into his arms and kiss every inch of his throat. “I forgot raspberry ice cream.”

Evan smiles slightly. “You hate raspberry.”

“Well, if I don't like it, you can finish it.” Evan’s smile grows.

Evan leaves, and Tommy reluctantly unmutes. “Sorry. Roommate thing.”

𝟏. Affirm yourself: Wake up every morning and tell yourself you’re that girl. It might feel silly, but seriously, hype yourself up. Think of yourself like the main character, because you are! 

𝟐. Wear what makes you feel powerful: Whether it’s a bold red lip, your favorite oversized hoodie, or killer heels, rock whatever makes you feel like you can take on the world. When you look good, you feel good! 

𝟑. Stop the comparison game: No more scrolling through IG and feeling bad about yourself. Everyone’s path is different, and you’re glowing in your own lane. Focus on your journey, not someone else’s highlight reel. 

𝟒. Embrace the awkward moments: Confidence doesn’t mean being perfect, it’s owning those embarrassing moments with a laugh. Slip up? Laugh it off, because honestly, we all do it. Confidence is being okay with being human. 

𝟓. Surround yourself with hype queens: Cut off toxic vibes and keep people around who build you up. When you have a squad that believes in you, it becomes way easier to believe in yourself.

𝟔. Fake it ‘til you make it: If you don’t feel confident, *pretend* you do. Walk into that room like you belong there. Eventually, you’ll start believing it too. And trust me, no one can tell the difference!

𝟕. Set small, achievable goals: Confidence grows when you see yourself succeed. Start with tiny wins—maybe it’s speaking up in a meeting or nailing that new workout routine. Each win is a confidence booster. 

𝟖. Practice good posture: Sounds simple, but standing tall changes your whole energy. Shoulders back, head up, and walk like you’re strutting down a runway. Instant confidence boost. 

𝟗. Learn to say no: Confident girls have boundaries. Stop people-pleasing and start saying no when you need to. Your time, energy, and peace are precious, guard them fiercely. 

𝟏𝟎. Celebrate yourself, always: Don’t wait for others to clap for you. Clap for yourself when you achieve something, big or small. You’re doing amazing things every day, and you deserve to recognize it.  Confidence isn’t a destination, it’s a journey, enjoy every step!

Note: If you want any special/specific request of tips or just to ask any questions, dm me or put it in my inbox!

Reclaiming the Narrative: Writing with Intention and Impact

When you craft your stories, aim to weave in life lessons. Doing so not only makes your work relatable but also transforms it into a meaningful source of insight and entertainment. As a writer, you have a unique opportunity to explore significant topics and present them with your own distinctive twist. By doing this, you can share valuable lessons and perspectives, making your message truly impactful.

Even if you aren't focused on writing stories, you can still create content that's both relatable and supportive, offering practical advice to help others through challenging times. Personally, I love discovering life lessons in books that resonate with me and make me reflect on my own experiences. Offering your readers something thought-provoking makes them more invested in your stories or content, regardless of the medium.

For too long, Hollywood has prioritized superficial thrills over substance. It's time for us to reclaim the narrative and produce content that truly matters. Let's create stories that leave a lasting impression and encourage meaningful reflection.

Writing shouldn't be just about thrills; it should be about what truly matters. While I enjoy the excitement in media, it's time to make a change. What sets self-published authors and content creators apart from big-name publishers is the ability to control what they publish. It doesn't have to stick to the same boring formula. You can experiment and make your stories genuinely unique.

However, this also means you are responsible for your content. Be mindful of what you write and how you write it to avoid giving your readers the wrong impression or message. Writing is complex, but it's worth it if you put your mind to it and do it for the right reasons.

Life hack: Auto-pilot

Have you ever arrived at your destination and realized you don't remember parts of the journey? Or opened your phone to check the time, only to find yourself scrolling through social media 20 minutes later? Welcome to autopilot mode—that fascinating psychological state where we operate without conscious awareness.

This week's Life Hacks explores the science behind psychological autopilot, why it happens, and how becoming aware of these unconscious patterns can help us reclaim intentionality in our lives.

What Is Autopilot Mode?

Autopilot mode refers to the psychological state where we perform actions without conscious attention or awareness. Unlike habits (which are learned behaviors we intentionally develop), autopilot behaviors often fly under our conscious radar. While habits can certainly operate on autopilot, not all autopilot behaviors are habits—some are simply unconscious patterns we've never examined.

Why Our Brains Love Autopilot

Our tendency to operate on autopilot isn't a flaw—it's actually a brilliant evolutionary adaptation. At its core, autopilot exists because our mind craves energy efficiency. The brain is remarkably energy-hungry, consuming a disproportionate amount of our body's resources despite making up only a small percentage of our body weight. By automating routine tasks, we conserve precious mental resources for more important decisions and novel situations.

This cognitive efficiency extends to our attentional capacity as well. Research suggests we can only consciously process a limited amount of information at once, so autopilot helps us navigate complex environments without experiencing cognitive overload. When behaviors become automatic, they require less neural activation, creating pathways that work more efficiently—like well-worn trails through a dense forest. This efficiency even enables us to perform multiple actions simultaneously, such as walking while having a deep conversation, something that would be nearly impossible if we had to consciously control every muscle movement.

How Autopilot Behaviors Form

Understanding how these unconscious patterns develop can help us recognize them in our daily lives. Autopilot behaviors primarily form through repetition—actions performed repeatedly create stronger neural pathways, gradually becoming more automatic over time. This process is similar to water carving a channel through rock; each repetition deepens the groove until the behavior flows effortlessly.

Our environment plays a crucial role too. Specific triggers in our surroundings can activate automated responses without our awareness, like automatically checking your phone when it buzzes or reaching for a snack when passing the kitchen. Emotional states contribute significantly to autopilot behaviors as well, as certain feelings can bypass our conscious decision-making entirely, triggering immediate responses like stress eating or defensiveness in conversations.

The brain also uses a fascinating process called chunking, where it groups sequences of actions into single units. This allows complex behaviors to run automatically once initiated—think about how you don't need to consciously remember each step of tying your shoes or making your morning coffee; you simply begin the sequence and it unfolds naturally.

The Hidden Cost of Autopilot

While autopilot mode serves important functions, it comes with significant downsides that affect our quality of life. Perhaps most concerning is how it diminishes our presence. Life literally passes us by when we're not consciously engaged—meals become forgettable, conversations blur together, and precious moments slip away unnoticed while our minds operate on default settings.

Autopilot also reduces our adaptability. When circumstances change, rigid automatic patterns can prevent appropriate adjustments, leaving us stuck in outdated behaviors that no longer serve us. This inflexibility extends to our relationships, where communication styles, reactions, and even arguments often run on autopilot, creating recurring conflicts that seem impossible to resolve.

Decision inertia represents another hidden cost. We continue making the same choices day after day without evaluating if they still align with our values and goals. This can lead to a profound disconnection between how we actually live and how we want to live, creating a subtle but persistent sense of discontent that's difficult to identify precisely because these choices happen below our conscious awareness.

Breaking the Autopilot Cycle

The good news is that awareness itself is the first step in changing these patterns:

1. Cultivate Mindful Awareness

Practice bringing gentle attention to everyday activities. Notice the sensation of water on your hands while washing dishes, or the feeling of your feet touching the ground while walking.

2. Create Pattern Interruptions

Small environmental changes can break automatic behaviors. Try:

Taking a different route to work

Using your non-dominant hand for simple tasks

Rearranging your morning routine

3. Install Conscious Decision Points

Create "if-then" plans that force conscious choice:

"If I pick up my phone, then I'll first state what I intend to do with it"

"If I feel stressed, then I'll take three deep breaths before responding"

4. Regular Self-Reflection

Ask yourself these questions daily:

"What did I do on autopilot today?"

"Were these behaviors helpful or unhelpful?"

"What triggered these automatic responses?"

Your Turn

This week, try this simple exercise:

Choose one daily activity you normally do without thinking (Walking, showering, eating breakfast) and commit to experiencing it fully. Notice textures, sensations, thoughts, and feelings that arise.

This simple practice can begin rewiring your brain for greater awareness.

Remember: The goal isn't to eliminate autopilot mode (which would be exhausting and counterproductive), but rather to recognize when it's happening and choose consciously when it matters most.

Becoming aware of our autopilot behaviors isn't about perfection—it's about reclaiming choice.

I've been working on breaking my own autopilot patterns lately, especially my tendency to reach for my phone whenever I feel a moment of boredom or discomfort.

I'm definitely still a work in progress, but there's something powerful about just noticing it happening. That split second of 'oh, I'm doing that thing again' feels like a tiny victory, it definitely feels great.

and as always if you have any questions, im here to answer!

One of the things I love about Discworld is how it tackles heavy things without being too... Depressing or graphic. And still maintains an air of hope.

Like in I shall wear midnight, a book with a stated target age of 12 and up, a 13 year old girl gets pregnant out of wedlock and her father beats her so hard she loses the pregnancy and gets knocked unconscious. The father then attempts suicide.

And yet! The book remains suitable for that age group.

Be your own Barbie Girl! 💗🎀

Just btw: to me, the idea of being your own Barbie girl isn’t about being perfect or what society thinks “perfect” looks. It’s not even about being perfect.

It’s about knowing and believing that you can be anything and everything. Barbie has had so many careers in her life, and she truly believes she can do so much. Barbie can do anything and everything, whatever she wants to do, she puts her mind to it!

Being your own Barbie girl means just that. It’s like customising yourself to be whoever or whatever you want! It means believing in the magic there is in life, it means believing in YOURSELF and knowing that life works out for you!!

Your Barbie girl may be completely different to someone else’s Barbie girl. There’s no right answer. Only what feels right to you.

So how is your Barbie girl, your best version of yourself like?
