Boxing workout routine for beginners

Here's a beginner-friendly boxing workout routine that focuses on building fundamental skills, conditioning, and fitness. This routine assumes you have access to basic boxing equipment, such as boxing gloves and a heavy bag, but it can also be adapted for shadow boxing:

Warm-Up (5-10 minutes):

Jump rope: 5-10 minutes to increase your heart rate and warm up your muscles.

Shadow Boxing (3 rounds):

Round 1 (3 minutes): Focus on your stance, footwork, and basic punches (jab, cross, hook, and uppercut). Keep your movements controlled and concentrate on form.

Round 2 (3 minutes): Incorporate defensive movements such as slipping, ducking, and weaving while continuing to practice your punches.

Round 3 (3 minutes): Combine your punches and defensive maneuvers into fluid combinations. Visualize an opponent and work on your footwork.

Heavy Bag or Shadow Boxing (3 rounds):

Round 1 (3 minutes): Work on your jab and cross, maintaining proper technique and balance.

Round 2 (3 minutes): Add hooks and uppercuts into your combinations while focusing on power and accuracy.

Round 3 (3 minutes): Practice continuous movement around the bag or in your shadow boxing, simulating a real fight scenario.

Strength and Conditioning (3 rounds):

Push-ups: 1 minute

Bodyweight squats: 1 minute

Plank: 1 minute

Heavy Bag or Shadow Boxing (3 rounds):

Round 1 (3 minutes): Focus on speed and agility, using fast punches and footwork.

Round 2 (3 minutes): Incorporate more complex combinations, working on your boxing creativity.

Round 3 (3 minutes): Challenge yourself by alternating between power punches and quick, crisp jabs.

Cool Down (5-10 minutes):

Stretching: Perform static stretches to improve flexibility and reduce muscle soreness. Pay particular attention to your arms, shoulders, legs, and back.

Tips for Beginners:

Start with 3-minute rounds, and gradually increase the duration as you build stamina.

Maintain proper form and technique throughout the workout to avoid injury.

Stay relaxed and breathe regularly; don't hold your breath.

Focus on balance and footwork, as they are essential for effective boxing.

Incorporate shadow boxing if you don't have access to a heavy bag.

Listen to your body, and if you feel fatigued or experience pain, take breaks as needed.

Consider seeking guidance from a certified boxing coach or trainer to refine your skills and provide personalized feedback.

This beginner's boxing workout routine will help you develop the foundational skills and conditioning necessary for boxing while improving overall fitness. As you progress, you can add more rounds, increase the intensity, and introduce more advanced techniques to your training regimen.

YOUR BEGINNER GUIDE TO CYCLE SYNCING — DIVINE FEMININE

based on a health link article

Cycle syncing is when we match our menstrual cycle to our health lifestyle, such as nutrition and exercise. By using your menstrual cycle as a guide of your health throughout, you become in tune of your hormonal needs

Our menstrual cycle has 3 distinct phases excluding your period, which occur over a month.

Follicular(menstruation happens in this phase). Lasts for 6-14 days. Estrogen and progesterone are increasing.

Ovulatory. Lasts for 15-17 days. Estrogen is at its peak, testosterone and progesterone are increasing.

Luteal. Lasts for 18-28 days. Estrogen and progesterone are high, but if the egg stays unfertilised, the hormones decrease and the cycle repeats.

EXERCISE

Menstrual/Follicular

Your hormones are at its lowest, so light exercise and cardio is better suited for your stamina here. Yoga, walking, stretching, jogging

Ovulation

Hormones are increasing, so high intensity exercises are suited for this phase as your energy is higher. gym, cycling, skip rope, running, HIIT

Luteal

As your body prepares itself for another cycle, energy may be low, so light or moderate exercise is best. Pilates, ab exercises, any strength training

NUTRITION

Menstrual/follicular

Your Estrogen will begin to increase in this stage. Drink warm beverages to help with cramps. Despite your cravings, limit fatty/oily foods, caffeine and watch your sodium intake. Eat foods that help with metabolising your estrogen.

broccoli, sauerkraut, cabbage, high quality meats, cauliflower, spinach, sesame seeds, flaxseeds

Ovulation

Your estrogen is the highest so opt for foods that support your liver, protect you from environmental toxins(as they can impact your hormones) and are anti-inflammatory.

Leafy greens, whole grains, eggs, legumes, high quality meat & fish, garlic, almonds, whole fruits

Luteal

Estrogen and progesterone are high, but will begin to decrease. Magnesium rich foods to help fight fatigue, and foods that help with serotonin are best.

Leafy greens, quinoa, buckwheat, dark chocolate, spinach, pumpkin seeds, sweet potatoes, beans, avocado

This is the phase when your cycle is beginning to repeat, so you want to ensure that your diet is optimal. Avoid caffeinated drinks, sugar, deep fried foods and high amounts of dairy.

To start implementing these changes to your lifestyle, track your cycle and begin to identify how long each phase lasts for. Pay attention to how your body responds to each phase.

with that, I wish you luck 💖🎀 i hope we all stay healthy and happy together 👏

HABIT FOR

SUCCESS

Well , as you all know, I finally manifested my dream life (success story coming soon) , i finally have all of my desires but even if my blog is about loa, its also about SELF IMPROVEMENT.

So here is the habits of a master manifestor and a successful student /person/ect.

WAKE UP AT 7:00 or before

Even if you are tired. This will help you naturally develop a good sleeping schedule because you will be tired earlier. and sleep earlier. Thanks to this you are also gonna finish all of your assignment earlier and have more time for yourself.

SLEEPING EARLY

Whats up ? You're dumb? Sleep early. It helps w weight loss/maintenance. Makes you prettier. Make you look fresher . Makes you smarter w a better memory. And so much more. Sleeping early=sleeping more = pure benefits.

WORKING OUT

No. Working out isn't just for a perfect /skinny body. Working out helps with mental and physical health. So please, at least stretch. ( workout ideas for beginners; a simple warm up in the morning is perfect . If you want something more intense and you wanna burn calories I recommend to you a cardio/ HIT workout before taking your shower. Any 5 minutes workout or less is good but try to add more and more minutes everytime!)

MAKE TIME to affirm/meditate/spirituality

Give yourself every morning and night at least 20 minutes to affirm and visualize your desire or whatever you are manifesting in your 4d . Also meditate about you already having it ( no need to guided manifestation. Just slowly breathe till you feel calm/sleepy and think about the desire you already have).

DRINK water

Drinking water have MANY benefits such as : weight loss, reduce fatigue and increase energy, flush out toxins, improve skin complexion and more! Make hydrating fun with tea or lemon water.

EAT well

Not eating can kill you and eating too much too. Eat enough food ( till you feel satisfied but not full, it's not healthy) and try to eat healthy food (at least half of the plate should be vegetables. Also try to reduce processed food , cook & eat at home) .

DO things that put you in a good mood

Start your day by doing something you like , something that put you in a good mood for the day. Its really good for mental health, realising stress & being more positive through the day & what could happen in it.

READ a lot

It helps with a better vocabulary, developing imagination, better grammar & honestly just a very good habit.

LEARN something new everyday

Honestly anything even if its just a random fun fact or a weird diy but never go to sleep without learning something new. Even if it is something small or that you don't consider " useful ".

[honeytonedhottie]

so you're my only hope and i really wish for your advice. it's humiliating to say my story but i really need help. so i was misdiagnosed with schizofrenia (i 100% know i'm healthy) i need to lie that i have schizofrenia because my mother needs money. and here comes my desires : revision and desired age/grade level and maaany more. i have no responsibilities literally zero! the way i manifest is i walk around my room and viseualise, affirm and overall manifest which is fun but the thing is do you think i should build healthy day routine instead of just pacing around my room all day long? could you provide me a routine? thank you for help because yall are saving me for real. it could be even self care habits to do every day anything to avoid pacing around

thank you for coming to me 💗 and im so sorry about ur story. im so happy that you know the law because you deserve all of ur desires and more!! 💗

so to build a healthy routine and schedule for urself. doing so builds discipline. im gonna give u some healthy habits, a morning and evening routine, and resources for those things. a good place to start tho is making a weekly agenda that changes with the week, something to switch things up every week. just make one 💗💗💗

—healthy habits🩰⊹ ⋆⁺₊⋆ ♡̴ ⋆⁺₊⋆

♡ moving ur body/pilates - i personally do pilates and i recommend it to literally everybody. but the basic idea is to move around (and that does not mean pacing in ur bedroom) i mean get ur blood flowing and get moving. it doesn’t have to be pilates it can be running, a sport, dancing, yoga etc

here’s a link to one of the pilates workouts that i recommend if ur a beginner : 

♡ get a hobby - some hobby recommendations: if u are good at writing try poetry, try teaching urself how to draw or paint or sculpt, learn how to dance, learn how to play an instrument, learn a sport, learn languages, become a good cook, write stories, start a blog, learn to sew or crotchet, learn tech, read lots of books, watch/listen to lots of podcasts. literally just get busy 

♡ meditating and journaling - this is so good not only for ur mental health but it can also improve focus and keep u grounded. keep a journal or start meditating every day

here’s a link to a guided meditation for self love : 

♡ self care - i LOVE self care. literally practice self care every single day. take care of ur nails, skin, hair, lashes EVERYTHING. be super intentional with ur self care bcuz it tells our brains that we are worthy of effort and it’ll LITERALLY make u feel like a princess. 

♡ manifesting - you mentioned that u wanted to do some revision so something that i recommend for revising is using SATS. or state akin to sleep. once ur in state akin to sleep go back in ur mind and revise whatever u want. or just do SATS before bed every night. this is such a powerful manifesting tool

♡ sleep - aim to get between eight to ten hours of sleep a night. you’ll look better, feel better, and your physical and mental health will just skyrocket 

—morning🌸⊹ ⋆⁺₊⋆ ♡̴ ⋆⁺₊⋆

♡̴ first thing in the morning, fix ur bed 

♡ open the blinds/windows if the sun is out, this all depends on what time u wake up but if the sun isn’t out just skip this step 

♡ stretch for a couple minutes 

♡ write down at least three things that ur grateful for (don’t write down what u aren’t grateful for AT THAT MOMENT, literally just write down three things that ur grateful for right then and there) 

♡ brush ur teeth and use a tongue scraper 

♡ have a glass of water with some lemon slices 

♡ take a warm shower and moisturize 

♡ skincare routine 

♡ put on an outfit that makes u feel pretty 

♡ if u get nauseous when u eat breakfast then try eating something light, but if that doesn’t work then listen to ur body and just skip breakfast. if that’s not the case tho eat a balanced breakfast 

THEN GET TO WORK ON YOUR AGENDA THAT I MENTIONED IN THE BEGINNING<3 

—evening🍥⊹ ⋆⁺₊⋆ ♡̴ ⋆⁺₊⋆

♡ take a warm shower and moisturize 

♡ 30-60 minutes of self care and pampering 

♡ make a yummy dinner that’s nourishing 

♡ read for 20 minutes or watch something that enriches u 

♡ evening yoga 

♡ drink water 15 minutes before bed 

THEN GO TO SLEEP AND HAVE SWEET DREAMS <3 

this is just an idea, or a basic guideline to follow if u need it. customize it to ur specific needs and day-to-day life. im so excited for all ur desires to manifest cuz u deserve it! mwah 💗💗💗

Beginner's Guide to Dude Care

Guys are fascinating creatures, and can be very affectionate once you build enough trust. For your he/him to be happy and healthy, the environment should be just right. What does a dude need?

Appropriate space to roam. It's good for your guy to get time outside the cage (supervised of course), but even inside the habitat, he should have plenty of space to stretch his legs and fail to perform a kickflip.

Healthy diet. Your he/him should always have a slightly stale source of caffiene available: like a 4 hour old pot of coffee, or a flat can of Rockstar. It's also important to vary what he eats: if he's had instant ramen more than three times in one week, try offering your guy a slightly unwrapped quarter pounder and see if he investigates the smell coming from the paper.

Bedding. Many dudes will insist that bedding is clean regardless of visible food, sweat, or urine stains. It is important to change bedding regularly, but if it is changed too frequently, it could cause distress behaviors such as watching YouTube shorts or calling people "chief" in conversation. Limit bedding changes to once every month.

Guys are fairly amenable to handling, and are happy on their own as well as in social contact with other guys. If you know another household with a dude, try to arrange a playdate! We wish you the best of luck as you embark on the journey to care for a guy.

Strength Training for Beginners: A Comprehensive Guide

Strength training is an essential component of overall fitness, providing numerous benefits such as increased muscle mass, improved bone density, and enhanced metabolism. If you're new to strength training, getting started can feel overwhelming, but with the right guidance, it can be both enjoyable and rewarding. This comprehensive guide will walk you through the basics of strength training for beginners.

Understanding Strength Training

Strength training, also known as resistance training, involves exercises that use resistance to build muscle strength, endurance, and size. This resistance can come from various sources, including free weights, weight machines, resistance bands, or even your body weight.

Benefits of Strength Training

Increased Muscle Strength: Strength training helps to build and strengthen muscles, making everyday activities easier and reducing the risk of injury.

Improved Bone Health: It stimulates bone growth and can help prevent osteoporosis, especially important as we age.

Boosted Metabolism: Muscle is more metabolically active than fat, so building muscle through strength training can help increase your resting metabolic rate, aiding in weight management.

Enhanced Functional Strength: It improves your ability to perform daily tasks, such as lifting, carrying, and bending.

Getting Started

1. Consult a Professional

Before starting any new exercise program, especially if you have any health concerns, it's wise to consult with a healthcare professional or a certified personal trainer. They can help tailor a program to your specific needs and ensure you exercise safely.

2. Set Clear Goals

Identify what you want to achieve through strength training. Whether it's gaining muscle, losing weight, or improving overall fitness, having clear goals will guide your training program.

3. Start with Basic Exercises

Begin with compound exercises that work multiple muscle groups simultaneously. These include:

Squats: Targets the legs, glutes, and core.

Deadlifts: Works the back, glutes, and hamstrings.

Push-ups: Engages the chest, shoulders, and triceps.

Rows: Targets the back, biceps, and shoulders.

4. Learn Proper Technique

Focus on mastering proper form and technique for each exercise to prevent injury and maximize results. If you're unsure, consider working with a personal trainer initially to learn the correct form.

5. Gradually Increase Intensity

Start with lighter weights and gradually increase the resistance as you get stronger. Aim for 2-3 strength training sessions per week, allowing at least 48 hours of rest between sessions to allow your muscles to recover and grow.

6. Incorporate Variety

Include a variety of exercises in your routine to target different muscle groups and keep your workouts interesting. This can include different types of resistance exercises, as well as cardio and flexibility training.

Tips for Success

Listen to Your Body: Pay attention to how your body feels during and after workouts. If something doesn't feel right, stop and reassess your form or consult a professional.

Stay Consistent: Consistency is key to seeing results. Stick to your strength training program and make it a regular part of your routine.

Rest and Recovery: Allow your muscles time to recover between sessions to prevent overtraining and reduce the risk of injury.

Fuel Your Body: Eat a balanced diet rich in protein, carbohydrates, and healthy fats to support muscle growth and recovery.

Conclusion

Strength training is a valuable addition to any fitness regimen, offering a multitude of physical and mental benefits. By following this guide and staying committed to your goals, you can build strength, improve your overall health, and enhance your quality of life. Remember, progress takes time, so be patient and enjoy the journey to a stronger, healthier you!

100 ways to loss weight ?!

As the holiday season approaches, it's easy to succumb to the temptation of indulgence. However, with a bit of planning and intention, you can still enjoy the festivities without sabotaging your weight loss goals. Here are 100 approved ways to lose weight without harming your body, even during the holiday season.

Prioritize protein: Protein helps you feel full and satisfied, so make sure to include it in every meal and snack. Choose lean protein sources like fish, chicken, beans, and lentils.

Load up on fiber: Fiber helps you feel full and aids in digestion, so include plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains in your diet.

Control portions: Even healthy foods can sabotage your weight loss efforts if you eat too much. Practice mindful eating and pay attention to your hunger cues.

Stay hydrated: Drinking plenty of water helps you feel full and flushes out toxins. Aim for eight glasses per day.

Get enough sleep: When you're sleep-deprived, your body produces more of the stress hormone cortisol, which can lead to increased appetite and weight gain. Aim for 7-8 hours of sleep per night.

Move your body: Exercise helps you burn calories and build muscle, which can boost your metabolism and help you lose weight. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise most days of the week.

Mind your alcohol intake: Alcohol is high in calories and can hinder weight loss efforts. If you choose to drink, do so in moderation.

Make healthy swaps: When indulging in holiday treats, make smart swaps like opting for dark chocolate over milk chocolate or choosing fresh fruit over sugary desserts.

It's time to ditch the fad diets and get real about weight loss. This comprehensive guide provides you with 100 proven strategies to lose weight safely and effectively, without harming your body.

Check it out everyone, 3 years of art progress! And I wrote a guide for beginners! 😊

Hi! I’m Laura, age 31. I’ve always drawn occasionally, but never really stuck with it. Frankly it stressed me out. I’d draw for a month, then cry a bunch, then quit for a couple more years. But this time I turned it into a habit somehow. I’ve been drawing near-daily since Feb ‘21 and my life is better for it. Art’s a huge part of me now; it affects how I spend my time, how I express myself, and how I see the world. I feel like a happier, more complete human being.

So here’s what worked for me. This is a guide for hobbyists (I don’t have commercial ambitions) and it may or may not work for you. But I hope you can learn something from it regardless. Without further ado, my thesis:

 ~ Laura’s Steps for Drawing A Lot and Hopefully Getting Better ~

 1 – Manage Your Health 

Know what’s bad for your art? Depression! Glad I got around to treating mine. But for real, if you lack self-confidence you might want to check your mental health. It isn’t the sole factor but it can rapidly overtake the others. Every day I see a post like “how do I improve, every time I try to draw I’m overwhelmed with thoughts I’m bad at everything and a burden to the people around me”. That’s relatable but not a healthy way to see yourself. Low self-esteem can be treated. Please consider talking to someone - you’re a wonderful, lovable person and deserve a happy life.

Also, try to get plenty of sleep and eat regular meals; it helps with everything. Exercise is worth a shot too. Going for walks is good for your mind and body. Yes it’s boring, but boredom gives you space to imagine things.

 #2 – Make It Fun

You’re taking this too seriously. Yes, you. It’s just a hobby. Take the pressure off. Have fun.

What does that mean? It means you need to make art approachable. It has to be a comfort hobby you’re naturally drawn to. That means killing all thoughts of what you SHOULD do. If it makes you want to draw, go for it. Anime characters? Pretty ladies? Fanart? Furries? Doodles from imagination? Zentangles? Pencils? Digital? Do it. If drawing the “right way” burns you out, draw things the wrong way instead. You know who draws a lot? Children. You know who doesn’t draw super well? Children. Have that mindset. Draw like a child. Don’t compare yourself to others; just enjoy the process of creating something. You had that ability once and I know you can reacquire it.

 Intimidated by an empty sketchbook? Don’t wanna ruin a white page? That’s OK; find something you don’t mind ruining. Grab a half-used notebook and a ballpoint pen. You EXPECT those to look horrendous. If you can have fun filling that notebook, you can have fun drawing regularly, and if you draw regularly you can slowly improve your art. It happened to me. I went from rarely drawing to wanting to do it every day. I still sketch in ballpoint now; it’s fun and comfortable.

Also, if drawing’s NOT fun? That’s OK too! There’s loads of ways to express creativity; go do do one of those. For me it was The Sims 3, then knitting, then drawing. Find something accessible and build your confidence up. The world needs bonsai trees and Minecraft castles just as much as drawings. <3

#3 – Seek Instruction

You’ve made drawing a habit, congratulations! You’ve probably learned heaps already; it’s natural to work out techniques as you go. But deducing art wisdom from scratch isn’t super efficient. There’s no need to reinvent the wheel when you can learn so much from others.

You can do a paid course (great way to meet people), but you don’t have to. All the information’s free on the internet! Teachers will cover the same things in different ways or from different perspectives. There’s no exclusive knowledge; the more you study, the more overlap you’ll notice. It all comes together for a more complete understanding of fundamental concepts.

Here’s some of my favourite resources (currently all available free online)(except the Winslow one which was taken down, boo):

  r/artfundamentals, ie. drawabox.com . A great starter course on how to hold a pen, draw lines, build forms and so on. You can follow structured lessons or just practice whatever you need to.

How to Draw: Drawing and Sketching Objects and Environments from Your Imagination, by Scott Robertson. This book’s the gold standard on perspective and great for technical thinkers. It gets VERY advanced but there’s basic stuff to learn from as well. If the textbook intimidates you, try this excellent video playlist by Dan Beardshaw. He walks you through the same concepts in a simple approachable manner. Vital information if you want your work to look 3D.

anything by Andrew Loomis. He’s an icon for a reason; the Loomis head is a standard art tool to this day. I also enjoy the anachronistic career advice (“all advertisers will pay for a well-drawn head” or whatever it was). Here’s the ones I’ve read and enjoyed:

Fun with a Pencil

Figure Drawing for All It’s Worth

Drawing The Head and Hands

Creative Illustration (my current fave, great for composition)

Classic Human Anatomy in Motion, by Valerie L. Winslow. Hot take – people who say “learn anatomy” to beginners are idiots. SO MANY fundamentals come before anatomy if you wanna draw good-looking characters. You’ll get better results studying proportion, form, gesture, shapes and composition first. But if/when you want to learn bones and muscles, this is the book for you! It’s probably overkill, but I loved the breakdown of facial muscles and how they create expression. Top-tier reaction image material.

Proko!! Fabulous Youtube channel. Not only is Stan a great teacher, he invites on other artists too. Just go to his search bar and plug in a keyword; you’ll always find something helpful. I recommend his channel if you want to draw humans (loads of gesture, forms, proportion, anatomy etc.), but there’s a video or two on everything. Some of my other favourite videos:

Mind-Blowing Realistic Shading Tricks. Simple effective intro to light and shadow, I still go back and learn from it.

How to Draw Dynamic Shapes – FORCE Series Part 3. So compelling I bought the book afterwards. Blew my mind, instantly improved all my shapes and in turn my composition and gesture.

Painting Skin Tones and How Light Affects Color. Marco Bucci’s a genius with colours, he explains value and saturation in such fascinating ways.

Digital Shape Carving with Scott Flanders – good companion to the shading video above, teaches dramatic silhouettes and cel-shading within a really interesting workflow.

Google. Any question. Throw it in. Someone’s made a video or reddit post about it. You’d be surprised! I swear, the number of times I’ve typed “composition tips” or “digital watercolour clip studio paint” or “how draw horse head”.

Remember, take it easy. Don’t burn yourself out. Back off if you feel the tears creeping in. Study should supplement your drawings, not replace them. If in doubt, revert to step 2 – “bad” art is better than no art.

4– Study Life

If you did step 3 you’re way ahead of me on this one. USE REFERENCES. Draw things from photos (or real life if possible). Fill your brain with visual information. Here’s a thread I made for sharing references of humans.

What if you prefer to draw from imagination? That’s fine – try a hybrid approach. Doodle whatever comes to you, then look up references and try again. For example I’ll doodle a bear, then draw from photos of bears, then doodle new bears using the things I learned. It’s fun and also a good way to test your knowledge. You may also enjoy combining different references; eg drawing animal fusions, combining poses with an outfits etc. It gets easier to do the more you practice.

Between art pieces I keep a balance between drawing from imagination, drawing from reference, following art lessons, and studying other artists. Speaking of which –

5 – Study Art

Ever heard “Don’t draw anime until you’ve learned anatomy?” or “Learn the rules before you break them?” I strongly disagree with both of those statements. Fundamentals are great but there’s never a point you stop learning them, and studying life won’t teach you how to stylise. That’s why you also need to learn from your favourite artworks. This gets easier/more efficient as you build your broader art skills, but you can learn styles at any point of your art journey (see – step 2). In fact, it makes study more enjoyable, since stylised art can look better and feel more “you”. You already know what you want to create– why not start now?

Let’s take anime as an example. That’s a huge genre with loads of variation. So, what’s your personal taste? Round and cute, or sharp and serious? Choose your favourite shows and study how they do it. Observe their lines, shapes and proportions. Then try it yourself. Make fanart. Not only is replication good art practice in general, it’ll teach you a bunch of new tricks. For original work, pull from loads of sources, the more diverse the better. Work in your love for Silver Age comics or medieval tapestries or German expressionism. The more places you learn from, the more unique and personal your style will be. Your art becomes a visual scrapbook of all the artists you love. I think that’s beautiful. <3

 6 – Find Community

Art friends! Best thing ever. You can bond over your shared obsession, commiserate over tough parts, and learn about art together. A lot of my drawings are in-jokes exchanged with my BFF. I’ve known them from childhood (lucky) but apparently adults can make friends too. Fandom spaces are great for this; many Discord channels have a dedicated artists’ zone. You can also try r/sketchdaily or challenges like Mermay/Inktober if you want a sense of community.

If you don’t have art friends (yet), that’s OK; parasocial works too! I like watching “Draw With Me” content on Youtube. It’s great to put on while you’re creating, especially when you don’t have the energy for something educational. Not only is it inspiring, you can learn tips and tricks along the way. And of course, you can never go wrong with Bob Ross.

 7 – Be Interesting

The very first step was to manage your health. In a way, we’ve looped back to the beginning.  Because no matter what you do, art begins and ends with who you are. You can practice fundamentals 12 hours a day but if you never live your life, you’ll never make interesting art. No one cares for artists whose only character trait is how hard they grind. So go be the most vibrant version of yourself. Take up weird hobbies. Make weird friends. Seek new experiences. Question the beliefs you grew up with. Read books for a while instead of drawing. Develop your principles. Embrace what makes you different. Survive the worst year of your life somehow. Learn what makes you thrive. Your art won’t be for everyone. But it WILL mean the world to some. And to me, that’s the whole point of doing this. Good luck, fellow artist. The world is your adventure yet to come. I believe in you. <3

Year 2023 Career/Education reading

pick a number 1-5 OR pick a colour: 1-blue 2-red 3-yellow 4-green 5-orange Hope you enjoy!

(ps. this reading is for practice, fun and entertainment as always)

Welcome to pile number 1. It seems for you this is more of an active year. Some degree of mastery could be achieved this year. There are certain ways you might be more comfortable with doing, but it looks like it's time to make room for the new and for new ways of doing. You've done your part in reading the books, but it might not be that easy to apply it. If you need guidance or a teacher, it seems you are surrounded by professionals, who could possibly provide you with guidance. If you go to school, this could be your graduation year. Looking at the cards there is plenty of success and possibilities and support for you here this year. It looks like you'll be in a novice position this year, so don't be too self-conscious and shy. Because you could feel reluctant to express your visions and opinions this year due to feeling too self-conscious. Instead, know your vision is also valuable. But it looks like you'll be taking on a more silent and observing role this year. Remember beginners mindset! And this year looks good for saving money and gaining more stability. A very fertile and prosperous year for your career or education. It seems this is a year, when you should not procastinate. No more wasting time. Also, you might go through many phases this year in your career or education. It looks like you have some potential yet to tap into. Something related to creativity perhaps. Also, the cards are talking about tapping more to your senses. For example don't only pay attention to what something looks like, but to other senses as well. The cards talk about simply doing your part. You are no less than others. And this year is a year to stay focused and patient. New beginnings for sure and a very grounded year for you. But also, it looks like sometimes you could feel at awe. Like you could feel like something could be surreal or somehow unbelievable or even magical. It's about spotting blessings this year and a strong part of it is to believe. And as always, don't forget to leave some feedback, if it resonates with you.

Welcome to pile number 2. First of all, you are coming off strong this year.

Looking at the cards, it looks like the world is waiting for you to be ready to enter the stage. But first you have some inner work to do.

You don't need to see anything as competition, the reading is showing that this is a year to solely focus on yourself, on your own actions and passions, talents. Also, it kinda looks like you might have moments, when you feel more driven and are more active and moments, when maybe you doubt yourself too much and that creates momentary pauses for you this year. And there is a sense of surprises present in your reading as well. And it does look like this year you'll need to work on your mindset. To see your worth, to learn to keep your heart open no matter what and to keep up your hope and faith. Because your thoughts can easily create unnecessary blocks for you and delays.

This is a year for you to stay open and curious. Maybe try new ways of doing and solving problems. You could find yourself to be in quite the dreamer mode with plenty of ideas, visions and dreams, but you need to learn to prioritize. Make space for what is important. So a bit of cleaning up this year. This year there is a strong sense of healing present as well. Like said you are on some level healing, There will also be a strong focus on friendships.

What is the Alkaline Diet? A Complete Guide for Beginners

The Alkaline Diet: A Healthy Eating Plan for Optimal Wellness

The alkaline diet has become an increasingly popular way of eating that promotes overall health and wellness. This eating plan focuses on foods that help balance your body's pH levels to create an environment that supports healthy cells and tissues.

What is the Alkaline Diet?

The alkaline diet is based on the principle that the foods you eat can alter your body's pH balance and impact your health. The ultimate goal is to create an internal environment that has a pH ranging from 7.35 to 7.45, which is slightly alkaline. Foods are categorized as either acidic, alkaline, or neutral: Alkaline foods - Fruits, nuts, legumes, and vegetables Acidic foods - Meat, dairy, eggs, grains, alcohol, and processed foods Neutral foods - Natural fats, starches, and sugars By emphasizing alkaline foods and limiting acidic foods, proponents of this diet believe it can help neutralize chronic low-grade acidosis linked to inflammation, fatigue, and increased disease risk.

Benefits of an Alkaline Diet

Following an alkaline diet offers impressive benefits: Promotes pH balance Reduces inflammation Boosts immunity Increases energy Aids weight loss efforts Improves cardiovascular health Strengthens bones Detoxifies the body The diet focuses on nutrient-dense whole foods that provide antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, fiber, and water to help neutralize acids and remove toxins from the body. Balances pH Levels One of the main goals of the alkaline diet is to balance the body's pH levels. Chronic low-grade acidosis happens when acidic wastes accumulate in the body faster than they can be neutralized. This causes the body's pH to drop into unhealthy ranges. The alkaline diet counteracts this acidity and helps: Regulate fluids and electrolytes Filter out toxins and wastes Transport nutrients into cells Together this provides an ideal environment for cells and systems to function properly. Reduces Inflammation Acidosis creates an environment inside the body that promotes inflammation, a key factor in many chronic diseases. The anti-inflammatory foods emphasized on the alkaline diet can help reduce acidity and calm this internal fire. Some examples include: Fruits high in vitamin C Green leafy vegetables Nuts like almonds and walnuts Plant-based proteins like lentils and beans Lower levels of inflammation helps people feel better day-to-day. But even more importantly, it lowers the risk for disorders caused by chronic inflammation. Other Key Benefits Some other top reasons to follow the alkaline diet include: Increased Energy Levels - A balanced pH provides cells with ideal conditions for producing energy. Healthy Weight - The diet emphasizes low energy-density foods that support weight loss. Strong Bones - The diet provides bone-building nutrients often lacking in modern diets. Detoxification - Alkaline foods help remove acidic waste products and toxins. Together this creates an internal terrain that discourages damaged cells and chronic diseases from taking root.

The Best Alkaline Foods to Eat

Focus your diet around these alkaline superfoods: Fruits Fruits are packed with alkaline-promoting nutrients. Choose fresh or frozen organic when possible. Top picks include: Lemons Watermelon Apple Grapefruit Kiwi Berries Papaya Pears Vegetables Aim for eating a variety of organic vegetables each day. Great options include: Spinach Kale Cucumbers Celery Carrots Sweet potatoes Broccoli Sea vegetables Nuts and Seeds Nuts and seeds are excellent sources of protein and healthy fats. Soak nuts before eating to boost nutrients. Try: Almonds Flaxseeds Pumpkin seeds Sunflower seeds Chestnuts Chia seeds Herbs, Spices and Oils Boost flavor and pH with these additions: Lemongrass Ginger Turmeric Cinnamon Garlic Cold-pressed olive oil Coconut oil Avocado oil

Foods to Avoid on the Diet

To balance your pH effectively, you’ll also want to avoid or limit these acidic foods: Red meat Poultry Seafood Eggs Dairy products Processed grains Sugar Packaged snacks Soda Alcohol Coffee Even whole grains and beans - two staples of healthy diets - should be eaten sparingly since they skew acidic.

Additional Tips for Success

Follow these suggestions to make the most of an alkaline diet: Stay well hydrated with alkaline water Enjoy herbal teas Reduce stress through yoga, meditation, etc. Exercise at least 30 minutes daily Add more raw foods slowly Focus on how you feel As with any significant change to your diet, implement this eating pattern gradually. This gives your body time to adjust its complex systems. Pay attention to the signals your body is sending about the changes. Over time, you should feel less internal "discomfort" and more vibrant energy. Chronic issues you learned to tolerate could show improvement or fade away completely.

The Bottom Line

The emerging research shows an alkaline diet may be an extremely healthy way to prevent damage from modern diets and lifestyles. While studies continue, adjusting your eating pattern to favor alkaline foods poses little risk and offers tremendous potential. It provides a sustainable, nutrient-dense approach to eating that fights inflammation and encourages good health starting on the inside!

The Ultimate Keto Plan for Rapid Weight Loss and Optimal Wellness

The ketogenic diet (keto for short) has become one of the most popular dietary trends in recent years. It involves drastically reducing your carbohydrate intake and replacing it with fat. This reduction in carbs puts your body into a metabolic state called ketosis. In ketosis, your body starts using fat for energy instead of glucose, which is the primary energy source from carbohydrates.

There are many reasons why people try the keto diet. Some people use it for weight loss, while others find it helps control blood sugar levels or improve certain health conditions.

This plan is intended to be a guide to get you started on keto, whether you’re a beginner or you have more experience with this way of eating.

What to Eat on Keto

Meat, poultry, and fish: These are all excellent sources of protein. Choose fatty cuts of meat whenever possible, such as ribeye steak, ground beef, salmon, and chicken thighs.

Eggs: Eggs are a very keto-friendly food. They are low in carbs and high in protein and healthy fats.

Cheese: Cheese is another great source of fat. Look for full-fat cheeses like cheddar, mozzarella, and parmesan.

Nuts and seeds: Nuts and seeds are a good source of healthy fats, fiber, and minerals. Almonds, walnuts, chia seeds, and flaxseeds are all good choices for a keto diet.

Healthy oils: Healthy oils, such as olive oil, avocado oil, and MCT oil, can be used to add flavor to your food and increase your fat intake.

Low-carb vegetables: There are many low-carb vegetables that you can include in your keto diet. Leafy greens, broccoli, cauliflower, and asparagus are all good choices.

Grains: Grains, such as wheat, rice, and corn, are high in carbs.

Beans and legumes: Beans and legumes, such as lentils, kidney beans, and chickpeas, are also high in carbs.

Starchy vegetables: Starchy vegetables, such as potatoes, corn, and peas, are higher in carbs than non-starchy vegetables.

Sugary fruits: Sugary fruits, such as grapes, bananas, and mangos, are high in carbs.

Sugary drinks: Sugary drinks, such as soda, juice, and sports drinks, are all high in carbs.

Unhealthy fats: Limit your intake of unhealthy fats, such as trans fats and processed vegetable oils.

Sample Keto Meal Plan

Here is a sample keto meal plan to give you an idea of what you can eat on a keto diet:

Breakfast: Scrambled eggs with cheese and sausage

Lunch: Grilled chicken salad with olive oil dressing

Dinner: Salmon with roasted vegetables

Snacks: Nuts, seeds, cheese slices, or low-carb vegetables with guacamole

Tips for Starting Keto

Start slowly: If you're new to keto, it's important to start slowly. Don't drastically reduce your carb intake all at once. This can lead to unpleasant side effects, such as fatigue, headaches, and muscle cramps, commonly known as the keto flu.

Drink plenty of water: Drinking plenty of water is important on a keto diet. It helps to prevent dehydration and constipation.

Electrolyte supplementation: When you first start keto, your body loses electrolytes through urine. This can lead to symptoms like fatigue, headaches, and muscle cramps. To prevent this, you may want to consider taking an electrolyte supplement.

Be patient: It takes time for your body to adjust to ketosis. Don't get discouraged if you don't see results immediately.

Safety and Considerations

The keto diet is generally safe for most healthy adults. However, it's important to talk to your doctor before starting any new diet, especially if you have any underlying health conditions.

The keto diet may not be appropriate for people with certain health conditions, such as kidney disease, liver disease, or type 1 diabetes.

Conclusion

The keto diet is a popular dietary trend that involves drastically reducing your carb intake and replacing it with fat. There are many reasons why people try the keto diet, including weight loss, blood sugar control, and improved health.

If you're considering trying the keto diet, it's

Embarking on a journey towards weight loss or weight gain requires a comprehensive understanding of the role a diet plan plays in achieving your goals. A diet plan serves as the foundation upon which you build your nutritional habits, guiding your food choices and portion sizes to align with your objectives. For those aiming to shed excess pounds, a well-structured diet plan not only facilitates weight loss but also ensures that you do so healthily and sustainably. Similarly, individuals seeking to gain weight can utilize a diet plan to strategically increase calorie intake and promote muscle growth. Whether your goal is to slim down or bulk up, a carefully curated diet plan provides structure and guidance, empowering you to make informed decisions about your nutrition. By adhering to a personalized diet plan, you can optimize your nutrient intake, regulate your metabolism, and achieve lasting results.

Chapter 2: Diet Plan for Weight Loss

For many individuals, embarking on a weight loss journey can be daunting, but with a well-crafted diet plan, success becomes attainable. A diet plan for weight loss typically involves reducing calorie intake while ensuring adequate nutrient consumption to support overall health. This often entails incorporating more fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains into your meals, while limiting processed foods, sugary snacks, and high-calorie beverages. By creating a calorie deficit through diet and physical activity, you can effectively shed excess pounds and improve your body composition. Moreover, a sustainable weight loss diet plan emphasizes portion control, mindful eating, and behavioral changes to promote long-term success and prevent weight regain. With consistency and dedication, adhering to a tailored diet plan can lead to significant improvements in both physical health and overall well-being.

Chapter 3: Diet Plan for Weight Loss at Home

Achieving weight loss goals from the comfort of your own home is entirely feasible with the right approach. A diet plan for weight loss at home involves making mindful food choices, preparing meals with wholesome ingredients, and establishing a supportive environment conducive to healthy living. By stocking your kitchen with nutritious staples and planning meals ahead of time, you can avoid impulsive eating and stay on track with your dietary goals. Additionally, incorporating regular physical activity into your daily routine complements your diet plan, further enhancing weight loss outcomes.

Chapter 4: Beginner Diet Plan for Weight Loss for Female

Women embarking on their weight loss journey may benefit from a beginner-friendly diet plan tailored to their specific needs and preferences. A beginner diet plan for weight loss for females focuses on establishing healthy eating habits, gradually reducing calorie intake, and incorporating regular physical activity into daily routines. This may involve starting with simple meal swaps, such as replacing sugary beverages with water or opting for grilled chicken over fried alternatives.

While much attention is often focused on weight loss, a weight gain diet plan is equally important for individuals looking to build muscle mass, increase strength, or overcome undernutrition. A weight gain diet plan involves consuming a surplus of calories from nutrient-dense foods to promote muscle growth and support overall health. This typically entails increasing intake of protein-rich foods such as lean meats, dairy products, legumes, and nuts, which provide essential amino acids necessary for muscle repair and growth. Additionally, incorporating healthy fats and complex carbohydrates ensures sustained energy levels and supports metabolic functions. By combining a balanced diet with progressive resistance training, individuals can stimulate muscle hypertrophy and achieve their desired physique. Furthermore, a weight gain diet plan can be tailored to address specific dietary preferences, food allergies, or cultural considerations, ensuring a personalized approach to achieving weight-related goals.
