HOW TO REMAIN THE BEST YOU

Move in silence

Take care of your mind, body and soul

Be picky about who you let around you

Work towards a goal

Decide and enforce your boundaries

Actions over words

Allow yourself to feel your feelings but then let them pass

Focus on what you are doing now

Learn how to use your traits and skills effectively

Tell yourself postive affirmations

🍥💗YES , I CAN🍥💗

💗This is part 2 of my series - Love , me II

🍥Alot of times people underestimate our abilities, they will impose their limiting beliefs on you too . It can be hard when you don't get support from someone you need it the most but make sure that someone isn't you. You should always be there for you.

💗Elle Woods proved her loser boyfriend wrong , he broke up with her because he thought that she was another dumb blonde . He underestimated Elle , however Elle didn't care. She believed in herself. She proved him wrong. Warner was imposing his own limiting beliefs too , he himself got wait listed. He got in Harvard because of his privilege, not because of his intelligence or hardwork. Most of the time when people are saying that we can't do something , they are telling us their own ability.

🍥Failure isn't the end of the world, Rejection isn't the end of the world. Criticism isn't the end of the world. They are blessings in disguise. You can use these things to make yourself the best version of you.

💗There are countless examples of people who weren't supported or others didn't believe in them but they still achieved their dreams . They proved others wrong. Being delusional and believing in yourself is the key .

🍥When people are saying that you can't do or achieve something which you really want to , the worst thing you can do is take their words personally. Don't take their words to heart. What they are saying is a direct reflection of their own limiting beliefs. Moreover , they are not the CREATOR of your reality. You are the creator of your reality.

🍥" Anytime someone tells me that I can't do something , I want to do it more " - Taylor swift

going on solo dates

pick a date and time that works for you, i like evenings. 🎀 choose a location you feel comfortable in, a cozy cafe, a park, or even a museum. also libraries >>> 🎀 plan ahead by checking the opening hours of your chosen spot. i can't tell you how many times i've gotten to the library and it's closed for some reason :( 🎀 dress in whatever makes you feel confident and relaxed. i like staying comfy mostly, but sometimes i like to wear pretty dresses for no reason. 🎀 bring along something to keep you entertained, like a book, journal, or headphones for music. cause ya know, vibes. 🎀 order your favorite food or drink and take your time savoring it without distractions. that's the whole premise of a solo date: take your time, because there's no pressure! 🎀 do what YOU want to do. i like people-watching and taking photos. and reading. 🎀 be present in the moment and just enjoy your own company, without worrying about what others might think. 🎀 take a lil bit of reflection time afterward. did you hate it? did you love it? was there something you want to do next time? something you want to avoid? you should always focus on what's best for YOU during solo dates.

Additional Tips:

Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to curb hunger, improve satiety, and support overall health. Aim for 8 glasses daily.

Mindful Eating: Pay attention to hunger and fullness cues. Eat slowly and savor your food, avoiding distractions like screens.

Strength Training: Include strength training exercises 2-3 times a week to build muscle mass, which helps burn more calories at rest.

Don't deprive yourself: Allow occasional treats in moderation. A balanced approach promotes long-term success.

Listen to your body: If you feel excessively hungry or fatigued, adjust your calorie intake or consult a doctor/dietitian for personalized guidance.

Handling curiosity so the cat doesn't get killed:

We all have been there at least once in our life where we allowed the curiosity to get the best of us and instantly regretted the decision. Being extremely mercurial in nature it comes naturally to me. To be curious on the continuous lookout to find something that will stimulate my brain or make it go crazy obsessive.

That's how I learned the harsh way that being a curious cat might sound cute but it can cost you your life or sanity. One of my dearest friends once said something along these lines,"Some truths are better left unknown. Truth and knowledge can turn into poison when consumed carelessly."

The reason why I am talking about this is because I hardly find people discussing it.

Yet mythology has so many great examples, Pandora opening the box, Eve eating the apple it wasn't just temptation it was also laced with curiosity of what might happen?

I am listing out a few things that you should avoid pursuing under sheer curiosity to save the poor cat in you:

1) A street fight. Two people are fighting. Let them. It's not your job to be the mediator and it's irrelevant to find the reason. Until and unless there's no aggression involved mind your own damn business.

2) Spiritual stuff especially dark ones. I believe energy is both light and dark in nature if you don't know the way to alchemize it better stay away.

3) Attempting things without any prior knowledge. Especially speaking about dangerous stuff here. If you love your life better do it under professional supervision.

4) Your partner's/crush feelings towards you. Girl if he likes you. You will know. Trust me. Been there. Done that. Constant microanalysis. It's tiring. Let him be.

5) Others life. Stalking and obsessing over how a particular person is living their day to day life is literally embarrassing. Get a life, Sushma!

6) Know the red zones in a conversation. If meeting in a professional setting try to avoid personal questions. Learn to sense a person's discomfort and never push someone to answer your questions that have literally nothing to do with you.

7) Celebrities personal life. Another waste of time.

8) Do not show your curiosity for sexual acts, things,etc in front of a man. It's the easiest way to put yourself in danger. You are the target babe. Congrats!!

9) When someone tells you knowing the truth will hurt you. Let it be a secret. Don't persuade that person to tell the truth. I strongly believe when you don't control the situation the truth automatically finds its way to you (conditions applied).

10) About the stuff people say behind your back. A full proof route towards people pleasing, anxiety, self doubt etc. Don't go out of your way searching for what's cooking. The cake might turn out to be burnt. Who knows.

That's all for today's show on ash-says. Stay tuned for more illegal tricks and explosive opinions.

Stop doing these things to become your best self

Holding onto habits out of comfort. Your bad habits are stripping you from the life you want.

Hiding from vulnerability. Vulnerability is a strength. it makes you authentic. do not hide it just because the wrong people can't appreciate it.

Letting others guide your life. Live your life on your own settings. Only you know your own reality.

Chasing after people who are running. You're wasting your time and energy. once you stop chasing, the right people will simply find you.

Blaming others. You control your actions and reactions. choose to find happiness.

Digital Balance

•ﻌ• Set limits: It's like trying to put a leash on a wild animal, but you gotta do what you gotta do. Use apps or built-in features to limit your screen time on your devices.

•ﻌ• Find some hobbies: Get something else to do besides staring at your screens all day. Try painting, hiking, knitting, or whatever floats your boat.

•ﻌ• Schedule screen-free time: Designate certain hours of the day as screen-free time. Yeah, I know it's gonna be hard as hell, but you have to commit to this to break from technology.

•ﻌ• Get outside: Instead of binge-watching Netflix, go outside and get some fresh air. Take a walk, ride a bike, or just sit down in a park and enjoy nature.

•ﻌ• Prioritize face-to-face: Meeting face-to-face can help build stronger connections. Instead of texting or DMing your friends, meet up with them in person.

•ﻌ• Set achievable goals: It may be hard, but taking one step at a time will help. Gradually reduce your screen time and stick to it like glue.

I made this a long time ago but for some reason never posted! It is my quick guide to protecting yourself against burnout as a person with ADHD and ASD.

Of course it is all about meeting your support needs at the end of the day, which are completely individual and may vary over time, but this could function as a guide if you have a hard time figuring out where to start! 🫶🏻 💙💙💙

i know we're all sick of self-care being a marketing tactic now, but i don't think a lot of us have any other concept of self-care beyond what companies have tried to sell us, so i thought i'd share my favorite self-care hand out
