Go Back on This When You’re Trying to Improve Your Life

Ask Yourself These Questions:

what am I focused on improving?

why did I decide to focus on this area of my life?

how badly do I want to improve this part of myself?

am I willing to be consistent with this change?

Journal all of these questions out. Answer with full sentences and make sure you’re fully understanding your desire to change. Form a routine from these questions and follow it consistently for three months minimum.

Things You Can Improve On

Language. Are you planning on traveling or understanding the language of the people around you?

Behavior. Are you wanting to be seen in a different light? Do you think you display an awkwardness you don’t necessarily like? Are you finding yourself in a more feminine or masculine energy? Is that what you want?

Body. Are you comfortable with your temple? The skin that holds you all together? The organs that form your curves? Do you want to change anything?

Education. Are you curious about anything? Have you been reading up on it? Do you know dates, times, recipes, etc?

Dress. Are you representing who you are, the way that you want to be displayed? Do you like the way you dress? What can you do to feel more like yourself? Do you like to feel put-together?

Communication. Do you have trouble talking to others and setting boundaries? How often do you talk about yourself in conversations? How often do you let others talk about themselves? How often do you reciprocate actions?

Health. Are you eating correctly? Do you feel energized or bloated after eating? How often do you eat fresh greens? How can you keep a healthy gut?

Overcoming your fears is part of the process of growth. You can't grow without letting go.

⋆⭒˚｡⋆ tips to help you sleep earlier 🌙

(I’m trying to fix my sleep schedule lol)

❥ firstly, try to get 8-10 hours of sleep every night!

❥ stretch for 10 minutes before going to sleep ~ this helps relax your body

❥ meditate for 5- 10 minutes before sleeping ~ helps calm your mind

❥ if you struggle with racing thoughts and anxiety before sleeping keep a journal ~ write about your day and your worries every night before going to sleep

❥ try to limit screen time before going to sleep, instead read or colour ~ great ways to occupy your mind, help you feel more relaxed and ready to sleep

❥ something I often ask myself is “what am I staying awake for?” If I have no studying to do, I’m not talking to a friend or spending time with family, then why not go to sleep? Why should I stay up on my phone until late at night which will only make me feel bad the next day ~ this helps remind me that I don’t need to go on my phone or watch a tv show and I can just go to sleep whenever I want to and feel better the next day

❥ consistency. ~ fixing a sleep schedule takes time and can be difficult to do but if you stay consistent and keep trying you’ll get it!
