Redefining ‘Exercise’ for Severe ME/CFS & PEM: The Smallest Victories Matter

Please honor your own energy envelope as you read. Whether a sentence… a paragraph… or even a glance at the headings, whatever feels right for you in this moment is perfect. Compassion. 🙏 When we speak of “exercise,” what do we really mean? For most of the world, the word conjures images of jogging paths, yoga mats, or perhaps the thrill of surfing. But for people living with severe ME/CFS,…

Hi! I like so much your blog and i was reading the ttpd playlist with 5sos song and i was wondering, why do you choose Red Desert for the depression part?

I kinda see the reasons but i want know your reasons, please <3

hey anon!! Thank you so much, it means a lot to know people like my blog!

The decision to put red desert on the depression playlist was an interesting one!! And one that’s always up for refute too, I’m not the expert on which song goes where I’ve just got my best guess to give. Basically, to me it’s a typical 5sos song: looks all fun and cathartic but the more you listen to it you see the way it hints to darker things. And with the premise being ‘red red desert heal our blues’ it has me thinking of a time where you know something is wrong, and you’re now doing something to try feel better but the feeling better hasn’t actually happened yet. ‘Demons we’re running from theyre begging to stay’ embodies ‘old habits die screaming’ perfectly and ‘won’t you leave all your fears at the edge of the world’ implies being in the thick of it but also the very beginnings of regaining autonomy amidst the chaos. There’s desperation but also hope in ‘tell me won’t you pack up all your bags, stay true to north’ which kinda reminds me of os/co but ‘I’ve been asleep so long, wasting away’ is very much a depression thing to me when you’re tired of feeling and you go numb instead. Then the premise of the desert setting as a destination is like, I’m not gonna be overwhelmed by life there, I have a chance to feel things and have them catch up to me somewhere safe where I feel small against the expanse of nothingness and my problems do too—the acceptance hasn’t quite come but it’s on its way.

How to Start Writing Again When the Spark Fades

Sometimes the well of creativity runs dry, leaving you staring at a blank page with nothing but frustration. But trust that the art of writing is as much about the journey as it is about the destination. Here are some ideas to help you reconnect with your writing practice when you feel like your passion has dimmed.

Redefine Your Environment Consider taking a deliberate step outside your usual writing space. The environment in which you work can drastically affect your mindset and creative flow. Even if it’s setting up in a different corner of your home, finding refuge in a local café, or enjoying the subtle distractions of a park bench, a change in scenery often signals a mental reset. This isn’t about permanent relocation, just a simple shift can break the monotony and stir new ideas that have been hiding in plain sight.

Embrace Imperfection The pressure to produce perfect prose can be paralyzing. Give yourself permission to create something imperfect yet honest. Think of every sentence you write as a rough sketch, a necessary experiment in understanding your own voice. When you allow yourself the space to write without the weight of perfection, you invite experimentation and genuine self-expression. That freedom lies at the heart of rediscovering why you fell in love with writing in the first place.

Set Incremental Goals for Continuous Momentum When the idea of diving into a full chapter feels overwhelming, scale back to manageable, bite-sized projects that feel achievable. Instead of demanding a polished page, challenge yourself to write a paragraph or even a single sentence each day. These micro-goals build a foundation of small successes, gradually restoring confidence and momentum. Over time, these consistent efforts enrich your creative reservoir, proving that every little step is indeed a victory.

Engage Deeply in the Process of Freewriting Allow yourself to spill thoughts onto the page without judgment or expectation. Freewriting is an exercise in vulnerability and self-exploration, offering you a space to unburden tangled ideas and unexpected insights. In these unfiltered moments, you might stumble upon a germ of an idea or a rediscovered passion that rekindles your creative fire. Embracing this unstructured approach can transform an intimidating blank page into an open canvas of potential you haven't tapped back into.

Rekindle Old Inspirations There is power in revisiting the work and moments that first ignited your creative spirit. Even if it’s rereading an old journal entry, rediscovering a favorite piece of literature, or reflecting on the stories that once moved you, reconnecting with your past inspirations can shed new light on your present creative journey. This reflective practice not only reminds you of your original passion but may also reveal new directions for your current writing endeavors.

Create a Consistent, Loving Writing Routine Creating a structured yet gentle routine can help reestablish your relationship with writing. Treat your writing time as a vital appointment, a moment carved out just for you. Even if inspiration seems scarce, the simple act of sitting down, opening your notebook, and letting words flow without self-censorship can be incredibly healing. Over time, this practice transforms writing from an obligation into a ritual of self-discovery and mindfulness.

Connect with a Community That Understands Engaging with fellow writers can remind you that you’re not alone in this struggle. The shared experience of creative highs and lows can be profoundly comforting. Join writing groups, participate in online forums, or simply reach out to someone whose work inspires you. These interactions foster a sense of belonging and accountability, encouraging you to keep writing even when the path isn’t clear. In the gentle exchange of ideas and feedback, there is often a spark that reignites your dedication.

Every writer’s journey is unique, filled with ebbs and flows. If you’re feeling disconnected, know that these moments are integral to growth. Embrace each phase as an opportunity to rediscover writing on its own terms, and allow your passion to guide you back into the words you love. If you need any advice from me, never be afraid to send me an ask.

Until next time, Rin T.

Breaking Free from the Need for Proof

The need for “proof” in 3D to believe comes from a mental programming that prioritizes what already exists in the physical world. This is normal, but can be transformed with practice and patience. Here are some ways to deal with it:

Understand the Dynamics of 3D(external world) 4D(your consciousness)

It's all one. The terms were created so that we could rationalize and understand, but it doesn't change the fact that it's all one.

3D reflects your beliefs and vibrations, but it is the “effect,” not the “cause.” 4D (your imagination and consciousness) is the origin of everything. Remember that in order for 3D to change, you must first accept 4D as reality.

Affirmation: “The physical world is just a reflection. My imagination is the true reality.”

Redefine the Meaning of “Proof/evidence”

Realize that inner change is the greatest proof you can have. Feeling more confident, optimistic, and at peace are signs that your manifestation is on its way. Recognize these changes as real evidence.

Affirmation: “My inner peace is the only proof I need.”

Release the Need for Control

Proof anxiety comes from the desire to control the “how” and “when” of your manifestation. Accept that the universe (or your consciousness) knows exactly how to deliver what you desire at the right time.

Practice: Whenever you feel anxiety, say, “I release control. It is done.”

Experience “Vivid Imagination”

When visualizing, make the experience as real as possible. Imagine smells, sounds, touches, and emotions. The more vivid your imagination, the less you will need external “proof,” because your mind will begin to accept the 4D as real.

Affirmation: “My imagination is as real as the physical world.”

Remember That You’ve Manifested Before

Think about situations in your life where something worked out or showed up unexpectedly, even without you realizing it was manifesting. This reinforces your confidence that you have always been creating your reality.

Exercise: List three things you have manifested and acknowledge your power in them.

Avoid Comparisons

If you find yourself thinking that others manifest faster or easier, remember that every journey is unique. The only thing that matters is where you put your focus right now.

Affirmation: “My journey is perfect and is working exactly as it should.”

In the end, the key is to persist in your inner certainty, even when 3D doesn’t yet reflect what you want. External proof comes naturally when you stop looking for it and start trusting the power of your 4D.

[eamour]

the law of assumption.

manifestation refers to the practice of controlling thoughts, thinking wisely and exercising self-awareness. it’s the act which represents the very cause of the materialisation of our own consciousness into the external physical world. but what is this phenomenon based on?

the reason is called the law of assumption. the law of assumption is what the reflection of our inner conversations is dependent on. it’s the law that enables the process of conscious creation done in the mind. it���s the undeniable, inescapable and irrefutable principle which states that our thoughts, moreover our assumptions, shape our outer reality. one of the most known teachers to have coined and defined the law as we know it today was neville goddard. he has provided us with most of the information we have nowadays in forms of books and lectures.

disclaimer · now, the theory or philosophy behind the law has existed for a very long time, way before neville goddard has redefined its meaning by his own conceptions. in terms of spirituality, the belief in the creative power of thoughts has been existent for far longer than that.

assumptions harden into fact.

with the law of assumption, we are referring to a very certain group of thoughts — assumptions. assumptions are merely accepted thoughts, thoughts you claim to be true or thoughts you consistently turn back to, aka continuously persist in.

it is important to note that your assumptions, by definition, aren’t based on evidence at all. you assume things to be correct to you without the confirmation of the senses or any other physical validation or verification. why? because the law of assumption is based on faith. on your own, personal belief. it is entirely separated from anything that could be deemed as factual, fixed or forever. therefore, by this law, you are allowed to assume anything. there has to be NO explanation for why you want to assume something! you just do it.

facts about and along the law.

the law is also no respector of morals and values. the same way it does not respect logic, it does not work with logical reasoning either. your assumptions manifest because of your acceptance in them, regardless of any sense. they aren’t based on any truth but your truth.

your assumptions create the world around you. it's inevitable. the assumptions you have about yourself, your family, your friends,… everything and everyone, all of them build the ground which you call your life.

another point is that your thoughts — and your thoughts only — create. you are the god of your reality, the creator of your life and the only operant power. thus, everyone is you pushed out, meaning everybody is a product of your assumption about them and yourself, leaving no place for "free will" exist. you are the god of your reality, therefore if you desire a change in the world, there is nothing and no one to change other than self.

because creation is finished, because there is an infinite number of states, any reality that you could possibly think of exists already. anything you can desire, you can imagine and therefore manifest. everything is possible. there is nothing in this world that you cannot be or have, as there are no limitations or restrictions to you. reality is simply what you assume it to be.

consciousness is the only reality. everything stems from your awareness. things can only exist within consciousness owing to the fact that imagination creates reality. and that’s where all creation starts — in the mind, mentally. as you are within, so you are without, meaning that signs do not precede but they follow. yourself must be expressed, dictating, directing and determining the contents of your world.

with love, ella.

hiii! i love your acc, it's so cute :3 i was wondering if you could do a post about self-love, it's something i've been struggling w/ lately. thank youuu

uncommon but life-changing self-love practices (that actually work) 🎀

posted by: glowettee

hey angel! thank you for this question in my mailbox! and ahhhh thank you so much you're so sweet!! i'm sorry this post was a little late, self-care is soooo important, i want to give you some tips that you don't hear to often that i do in my self-love journey! i'll share some not-so-obvious self-love practices that literally changed my life! ♡

♡ redefining your space psychology because your environment shapes your self-perception:

bedroom makeover with intention:

rearrange furniture to face the sunrise (this literally changed my morning mindset!)

create a "victory wall" with tiny achievements (i put up a photo of my first B- grade that turned into an A-)

place mirrors strategically (not just for selfies, but for daily affirmations)

use color psychology (i painted one wall rose quartz pink in my room and it actually improved my mood)

create a dedicated self-love corner (mine has fairy lights, positive letters from friends, and little trinkets from my childhood, along with printed photos from pinterest with self-love affirmations/lists.

♡ morning practices instead of basic routines, try these instead:

the "main character energy" morning:

write how your day went (successfully) and about yourself in third person (like "mindy gracefully picked up her pen, to conquer calculus, she did all her chores, and even studied japanese for 2 hours.")

practice "mirror dating" (spend 5 mins having an actual conversation with yourself - it's weird but works!)

create a "today i choose" list (instead of a to-do list)

dance to one song before doing anything else (i do taylor swift, or newjeans obviously)

write a love letter to a body part you're struggling with (i wrote to my uncooperative hair and now we're besties <3)

♡ digital self-love (but make it intentional) because we live online but need boundaries:

phone transformation:

change your passwords to affirmations (mine is a variation of "mindyisworthy2025")

create a folder of your awkward photos (embrace the cringe! and laugh with your friends, its so fun)

record yourself modeling, or pretending your a celebrity or k-pop idol

take selfies without filters (document your real smile)

set random alarms with love notes to yourself

hide little sticky notes with cute reminders about yourself in your room, so when you stumble upon it a month later it'll make you smile!

social media rebellion:

post the photos you'd usually delete (even if it's made private)

share your real study space (messy notes and all)

document your growth journey (even the uncomfortable parts)

create a finsta for your completely unfiltered self

make reels about your self-love journey (even if they're private)

♡ physical self-love (the weird but effective version) not basic bubble baths:

unexpected body appreciation:

thank your body parts for specific things ("thank you hands for letting me write my study notes")

have a private dance party in weird places (i do this in elevators when i'm alone)

wear your prettiest clothes to study, or even to the grocery store (even if no one sees)

make up your own choreography to your favorite songs

make your own workout or stretching routine with different stretches/exercises you make up yourself

comfort zone expansion:

try eating alone in public (start small - i began with coffee shops)

wear that "special occasion" outfit to class

speak up in class even if your voice shakes

send yourself flowers to your dorm/apartment (I LOVE DOING THIS EVERY VALENTINES <33)

take yourself on cute dates (let a coin flip decide where you go! or ask google.)

♡ emotional archaeology dig deeper than surface-level feelings:

create an emotion museum:

keep a "weird thoughts" journal (mine has my 3am existential questions)

make a playlist for each mood (even the uncomfortable ones)

collect "emotional souvenirs" (me and my grandmother had a cafe date a few years ago, and i still keep the receipt today)

document your crying sessions (trust me, looking back at these helps)

write letters to your past and future self

validation exercises:

practice saying "my feelings about this are valid" in the mirror

create a "proof of worth" folder on your phone

collect screenshots of nice messages

record yourself giving pep talks

keep a "wins" journal (especially tiny ones)

♡ advanced self-love techniques for when you're ready to level up:

relationship building with yourself:

schedule weekly "self-dates" (i do wednesday coffee dates with myself)

create a personal manifesto (update it monthly)

develop inside jokes with yourself

celebrate monthly self-love anniversaries

create traditions just for you

growth documentation:

take progress polaroids (not just physical)

voice record your daily thoughts

measure growth in unconventional ways (like "times i chose myself")

create time capsules every season

write monthly letters to yourself

self-love isn't just face masks and bubble baths (though those are nice too!). it's about building a deep, weird, wonderful relationship with yourself. it's about becoming your own best friend, confidante, and biggest supporter.

some of these might seem strange at first, but that's okay! the best relationships often have their quirks. start with what feels right and slowly expand your comfort zone. it's not just about practicing self-love, it's also about creating your own unique love language with yourself!

you're doing amazing things just by being you, and i'm so proud of you for prioritizing this journey! remember, the relationship you have with yourself sets the tone for every other relationship in your life.

xoxo, mindy 🎀

Full Worm Moon in Virgo ♦︎ Moon Magick Pick A Card

Behold—the last Full Moon of the aenergetic year 2024🥎🎲🍑The Full Worm Moon in Virgo on 14 March enters the axis of 'love and sacrifice' (Virgo) and 'self-undoing' (Pisces). It's also a total lunar eclipse! It's also accompanied by Uranus transiting Taurus, which has been shouting to me: FOOD🍡FOOD🍭FOOD🍢

Virgo being the ruler of the 6H actually talks a lot about our relationship with food and how that affects our sense of body image. Since it's ruled by Mercury—the planet of short-term thinking—there's something in the air with this FM that nudges us to rethink our eating and exercising habits. You may inexplicably, or intuitively, feel an urge towards moving your body more, eating more cleanly or lightly, or even meditating and resting more🧘‍♀️

Virgo is also a sign that's all about Mortal Femininity (I dunno if that's a good enough term to describe the opposite of Divine Femininity (Pisces)) so this Full Moon also carries a theme revolving our girlhood👒Some of us may be experiencing a pull towards nostalgia what would in turn help us redefine our sense of girlhood outside of what the patriarchy has defined for us🤢In turn, feeling more comfortable in our own expression of the Self.

'Can't a pretty girl be cringe in peace?!'🤣

This FM in Virgo as the true last Full Moon of the 2024 aenergetic year is inviting us to prepare our bodies and minds for a healthy, productive and abundant aenergetic year of 2025!🍾Take care of your body in all of its feminine glory. Return to a feeling of being 'safe in your own skin' as a liberated being💐

With this Mercury aenergy—Virgo’s ruling planet—affirm to yourself:

I THINK, THEREFORE, I AM. ˚₊‧꒰ა ☆ ໒꒱‧₊˚

Pile 1 – First of All, My God, I Come First

redefining my girlhood – VI The Lovers Rx

Yo, in your case, I feel it was your 'immediate environment' or 'family members' who gave you a distorted view of what your girlhood was allowed to be. Maybe you grew up in a culture where women are very much oppressed, suppressed, or perhaps it was something to do with religion™️. Some of you may have allowed those views to rule over your mind but deep down, being the intelligent one that you are, you always knew you wanted, and are meant for, more! There was always a rebel inside who thought up more colours and expressions than what was allowed...💖

At any rate, I see that you've fought for the liberation of your mind, for the most part. Your Destiny is changing, babe. The script is flippin' is what's going on. Maybe you're at an age near your First Saturn Return, in it, or just about to get out of it. You've begun to get really clear about what your girlhood is supposed to look like and you're going to prioritise your own aesthetics, ideas and career choices! Some of you may resonate with getting clearer about what you want out of marriage as well~🎎

Or, getting really clear that you don't want to be married~🎈

self-empathy – 3 of Cups Rx

That being said, this FM seems to also be inviting you to cut off people whose influences aren't serving your highest good. If not 'cut off' at least limit your interactions with them. This seems to apply to social media content and the kinds of information you consume both online and offline, too. Any substance, mindset, way of thinking, idea, or logic that doesn't serve your feeling authentic and 'safe in your own skin and mind' needs to be limited, to such a degree that it can eventually be eliminated from your Reality✂️

Sooner than later, you'll see just how much you've developed a courage to be happy just by yourself. This FM will culminate an awareness deep within your psyche of just how important it is to have the ability to enjoy your own company, first and foremost, in your small globule of inner world; to feel happy and content with oneself, at least for the time being, before you are reunited with your Soul Tribe🪆Everybody always meets their Soul Tribe in the end~✨

service to the One and All – 4 of Pentacles Rx

Moving forward, I see that you're going to feel financially more abundant as well. From this elevated sense of freedom and self-love, you're going to share in good times with people who are actually good for you. People who do actually wish well for you, for whom you feel the same. Even some of you who really don't have anybody about you will feel a greater sense of being OK in your 'internet friendships', if you have them✒️

Generally speaking, there is a lot of 'beautification' going on in your mind with this Full Worm Moon in Virgo. As a result of that, I see you moving into Spring Equinox with a lighter heart and more faith in your future trajectory. Some of you may not be all too sure yet what this year is meant to bring to your doorstep, but you don't really care—you're just glad that right now, things are really lighter, easier and sweeter💕

Pile 2 – I've Fought for My Place, My Peace

redefining my girlhood – 10 of Wands Rx

Girlhood to you was always marred by a sense of being responsible for everybody's wellbeing and still responsible when things go wrong. You may have gotten blamed for everything or maybe you saw a mother, sister or every other woman in your society get blamed for even men's misconducts simply because they're female. This either caused you to develop hyper-caution or you became very angry about the mistreatment of women but couldn't necessarily do anything about it👿

This Full Worm Moon in Virgo is inviting you to either rebel against this bullshite, or if you were already doing it nevertheless, this FM is strengthening your resolve for rebellion. This could translate into you finally leaving a situation for good, leaving some losers to learn and be responsible for themselves. This could also translate as you stopping making an effort to fix a situation for someone else. Basically, the whole summary is that you're gaining a new perspective on what you're worth as a Human being yourself🫀

This then helps you realise that you're actually SO capable of creating a paradise of your own~🌈

self-empathy – 6 of Swords Rx

And so, that's what you've decided to focus upon instead of helping putting out fires in other people's lives. When you finally leave that situation or person, I see you leaving with such a glad heart! You know that where you are headed is going to be so much better, so you have no qualms whatsoever. If anything, I believe that deep within you're thinking: 'I'm fighting for my place, my peace, so I'm staying right on track!' This could speak of the track towards your better, brighter, lighter future🔥

But for some of you who have actually made this move, I see that some disturbances from the past could be revisiting you, maybe asking for help whatsoever, and so this could speak of 'staying on track' of living a separate Reality from them. 'I've fought for this liberation. I'm staying with my decision!' Though leaving/ignoring what may have felt important can be painful, you know you love yourself too much to go back to what was choking you out of oxygen🐢

service to the One and All – 10 of Cups

Maybe some of you reading this already have children of your own, but even if not, I get that you're thinking about the future of your unborn children, too. You've fought this hard, this much, for your place and peace in the world because you want to create a paradise for your children, too. Seems like you knew that your previous situation/environment wouldn't be good in the long run for yourself or your children. And if you haven't got a child now, you've surely thought about their future, when you have them in the future🦘

Your Spirit is one that urges you to become a good parent, a good spouse, too. Were you aware of this? There was always this toxicity that you simply did not wish to pass down your bloodline. Your heart really is noble and full of self-sacrifice; but that's exactly why you should be selective with who you consider worthy of those sacrifices🦜You really are a warrior of Love~🌛And for that alone, know that your happy-ever-after is ALREADY here aenergetically~ Bask in this frequency!💖

Pile 3 – 'I am out with lanterns, looking for myself.'

redefining my girlhood – 8 of Cups

If this is your main pile, out of the others, you're probably just about to embark on a spiritual journey of your own. There is 'travel' or 'moving away' into the unknown indicated here, but this could translate as either you 'spiritually moving' to studying something new or you could be moving to a different geographical location to study in a whole new environment. At any rate, you're changing landscapes whether tangibly or intangibly🖼

This has most likely been a rumination of yours for months on end at this point. You've been wanting a change of scenery, you've been craving for a higher sense of sweetness or excitement to Life itself. You've been bored to death. There's nothing emotionally satisfying anymore in your current Reality or environment. Something, anything, needs to change🥽

And this Full Worm Moon in Virgo is sending you intuitive guidance as to what small steps you can take to changing your landscape...🎨

self-empathy – 4 of Cups Rx

You're most likely the type of person who's afraid of the known... Have you noticed that? While most other human beings fear the unknown, you fear predictability, and in a stranger manner still, you dread the idea of 'knowing' that all you've ever wanted is within reach. Some of you may unknowingly (pun intended) have been delaying your own manifestations because you're still 'comfortably' swimming in uncertainty...🏊‍♀️

'Because the unknown is what’s exciting. Keep me guessing, bitch,' you say to the Universe🎰

Much of Life's recent chaos has got you mastering navigating Life with so much uncertainty that now you can only feel 'comfortable' when things are chaos and unpredictable. The moment you feel like Life's kind again, the moment you think you've got the next step figured out, you begin to panic internally🌰Cold sweats, maybe.

service to the One and All – 6 of Cups

When you were growing up, you probably faced many instances where you felt like your whole society was judging you, condescending you about every little thing that you liked or were into. All of your hobbies or interests were denied or frowned upon by most everybody. Do you realise how this caused your brains to develop a penchant for running away from what's meant for you? In some ways I guess we call this 'self-sabotage'🧘‍♀️

This Full Worm Moon in Virgo is inviting you to rewire your brains—realise now that you're so much bigger and freer than how it was when you were (probably) really, really small and helpless. Now, you've got the mental power to select and decide what you want to have in your Reality. What's meant to be there, let it stay and enjoy yourself~🎠No more running away from what you like just to fit society's boring, drab selections.

This Year Themes Based on the Day of the Week of your Solar Return 📅

Each of the 7 days of the week are ruled by a planet. The day of the week that your Solar Return falls on can provide more insight into how your year is going to go.

Before we begin: DoTW is Day of The Week (Which the planet rules)

There are a few things to consider about the corresponding planet in your NATAL chart:

Sign it’s in (General energy of the planet/year)

House placement (Area of life that will be especially significant that year)

Aspects to the planet (I will elaborate on this later)

Day or Night chart (Day: Sun in Houses 7-12. Night: Sun in Houses 1-6) — Day charts have Jupiter as their Benefic and Saturn as their Malefic/Night charts have Venus as their Benefic and Mars as their Malefic)

The degree of the planet (If you’re feeling fancy! Small influence on the planet’s energy)

Lastly, covering all of this: Is it afflicted? Years ruled by afflicted planets in your natal chart will likely present their themes as challenges.

ASPECTS TO THE DoTW PLANETS

Trines between planets will be natural, positive flows of energy that will assist you this year. (For example, if the DoTW planet is trine Moon, your emotions/comfort will naturally assist you in this year’s endeavors)

Sextiles between planets will also be positive flows of energy. I personally interpret sextiles to be energies one has to tap into. (Again, DoTW planet sextile Neptune, your intuition/creativity can assist you this year if you tap into them)

Squares between planets will create conflicts and challenges that you will have to overcome. It’s tension you’ll be forced to dissipate. (DoTW planet square Venus will create challenges around harmony/luxury/values this year)

Oppositions between planets will require you to create balance between the energies. (DoTW planet opposite Mars will force you to balance your drive/motivation/aggression this year)

Conjunctions between planets will create a blend of energies in this year which can be beneficial or challenging depending on which planet. (DoTW planet conjunct Sun will provide assistance by working with your self/purpose)

DAYS OF THE WEEK Monday (Ruled by the Moon) Can slightly apply if DoTW planet is in 4th House

My testimony: My moon is afflicted which made the year super difficult for me. That said, I ended up going through a lot of deep emotional healing and came out a way better person by my next birthday.

Your Moon year will likely revolve around themes such as: Emotions, Comfort, Home, Family, Instincts, Roots, Intuition, etc.

Moving and/or Home renovation are possible during this year. You may redefine what you need to feel ‘at home.’ Comfort overall will be in question.

Family relationships will be impacted for better or for worse, depending on aspects. Could also be changes in family like divorce, death, etc.

How you view emotions can change this year. You may adopt new coping mechanisms and your relationship with vulnerability may change.

Great year to attend therapy, find a new home, have a child, spend time with family, and examine your own patterns around family/emotions/instincts.

Tuesday (Ruled by Mars) Can slightly apply if DoTW planet is in 1st or 8th House

Your Mars year will likely revolve around themes such as: Motivation, Lust, Pursuits, Action, Conflict, Tension, Aggression, etc.

General aggression management can be part of this year. You may work on your confidence, drive, impulses, and/or anger. This could lead to you redirecting them, too.

Exercise and your body can be important this year. You may be more inclined to work out or make yourself look better. Sx drive is also prominent.

You may be faced with a lot of conflicts that you’ll have to learn how to power through. Similar to Saturn except these are more of a lesson around actually battling problems rather than perserverance.

Great year to workout, set new goals, grow more comfortable with your own company/do things on your own, and go about things with a more reckless attitude.

Wednesday (Ruled by Mercury) Can slightly apply if DoTW planet is in 3rd or 6th house

Your Mercury year will likely revolve around themes such as Intelligence, Communication, Writing, Skills, Short trips, Siblings, Local community, etc.

Curiosity and learning will be part of this year. You may want to pick up new subjects, learn new skills, etc. There will be a large desire to know more. Your mind will be restless and hungry for the next thing to learn.

Your local community will be important to you this year. You may meet new people (especially if Libra/7th House/Venus is involved) or just change how you view your neighborhood. Could possibly feel like you fit in more or just have a fun year there lol.

Your relationship to your health and productivity may change as well. You may be more inclined to stick to routines and taking care of yourself. Might be analyzing of what has and hasn't worked for you as well as trial and error.

Great year to improve your diet, learn new subjects or dig deeper into what you already knew, be curious about anything, and examine your relationship with the people who are constantly around you (coworkers, neighbors, etc).

Thursday (Ruled by Jupiter) Can slightly apply if your DoTW planet is in the 9th or 12th house

My testimony: I got super into spirituality and started believing in a new religion. Though I will say that I got VERY bored of the mundane/day to day life and always wanted something higher, more fulfilling.

Your Jupiter year will likely revolve around themes such as Travel, Spirituality, Higher education, Optimism, Knowledge, Wisdom, etc.

Travel may be prominent this year. You may want to or actually end up travelling to places you’ve never been before. You may also feel more inclined to learn about other cultures outside of your own.

Your relationship with spirituality may change this year. Look to the aspects made to your Jupiter to have a more clear explanation about this. You may seek out a new and different belief system.

You may find yourself being more or less lucky. The concept of divine timing may be prominent. In general, your view on luck and optimism will change.

Great year to travel, take risks, try to trust in the Universe, go to University or any higher education, explore new cultures and belief systems, seek fulfillment, and check things off your bucket list.

Friday (Ruled by Venus) Can slightly apply if DoTW planet is in 2nd or 7th house

Your Venus year will likely revolve around themes such as: Luxury, Harmony, Values, Love language, Partnerships, Beauty, etc.

Money and valuables will be prominent this year. You may gain or lose money/valuables (look at aspects) and therefore change how you view it. Budgeting or overindulging is possible.

Your partnerships and how you view harmony may change. You may feel inclined to examine things like your attachment style, love language, etc. Also possible that you get in new relationships this year (not exclusive to romantic, can be platonic or business as well).

Your values will be very prominent this year. Harsher aspects will be forced to reexamine them through challenges and softer aspects may align with their values and/or adapt new ones more easily. They will be brought to the surface either way.

Great year to get in partnerships, fall in love, make appearance changes, explore and indulge in luxury, collaborate on projects, and make investments.

Saturday (Ruled by Saturn) Can slightly apply if DoTW planet is in 10th or 11th house

Your Saturn year will likely revolve around themes such as: Discipline, Aspirations, Karma, Restriction, Hard work, Lessons, etc.

Karma will be a huge part of this year. You may face some of your own and/or see how it plays out on others. The Universe will make it very obvious to you that what gles around comes back around.

Your relationship with your aspirations will change (look at aspects to see if better/worse). You may change how you go about them or discover new goals in general.

Loads of trials this year. Lots of lessons will be sent to you. Like Mars, you will be forced to learn how to perservere through them. They will ultimately help you align with the most successful version of yourself.

Great year to set new long term goals, reexamine your relationship with productivity, connect with authority and/or network, start a business, and prove to yourself that you can accomplish anything.

Sunday (Ruled by the Sun)

Can slightly apply if your DoTW planet is in the 5th house

Your Sun year will likely revolve around themes such as: Creativity, Vitality, Self, Ego, Purpose, Fulfillment, Personality, etc.

Self-expression will be a huge part of this year. You will likely reexamine how you want to express yourself and as a result, discover insecurities along with things that help you feel confident.

Purpose and fulfillment will be big themes of this year. What you find fulfillment in may change. You may seek other ways to feed your soul.

Your hobbies may change this year. You may discover new passions or change how you already approach certain hobbies. Your definition of fun could be something you reconsider and/or work harder to fulfill.

Great year to put yourself out there (creatively or otherwise), be creative and expressive, make new connections, find your passion, pick up leadership positions, and explore new hobbies.

Thank you for reading this post!

I know I’m not doing well rn because a fucking advert from Scope I read yesterday has been going round my head and going sour in my stomach for about 18 hours rn.

It said some variant on “disability doesn’t stop people doing things”.

Before we even get into the difference between societal barriers and personal impairments etc etc - I’m just so *sick* of the level of toxic positivity the whole disability sector seems to be *increasingly* full of.

Particularly while more and more people who depend on social care for things other than intimate care seem to be getting their care packages just cut suddenly without any explanation or warning. This is for things like “keeping your house at basic levels of cleanliness and hygiene”, “washing clothing” and “cooking”. I’ve seen this from friends and strangers on groups I’m in, all across the UK. As if the entire sector has just decided that if you can toilet and get clothing on without needing physical aid to do those things nothing else in your life matters, including being able to eat, wear clean clothing or get rid of rubbish.

We have already seen care packages for leaving your home get whittled away, despite these being still legally guaranteed under the Care Act. The idea that it’s fine to be completely socially isolated as long as someone came to help you with the basics of home care has been largely accepted in so many councils for some years now; that exercising, maintaining relationships with friends and family and getting fresh air was some sort of ridiculous luxury. *Despite* the legal guarantees remaining; the sector just made a pact to mostly ignore them.

And now that seems to have been redefined once again to “if you’re not physically lying in your own filth, the idea that your home should meet basic hygiene standards and you should be able to eat hot food is a ridiculous luxury”.

And I’m lying in my bed feeling like a total failure because getting Cynthie out for a rollator walk and going downstairs to eat dinner 3-4 days a week turns me into being incoherent through fatigue by about 6pm atm. I managed to play Pendragon on Discord last night for the first time in a fortnight and that felt a huge achievement.

And Scope are chirping away about disability not preventing anyone from achieving anything.

*screams*

What's the solution to being out of alignment?🙏🏼

Realigning with yourself typically involves tuning into your values, setting goals that resonate with you & taking care of your mind & body. For me, it typically means that there are people I’ve allowed in my life that don’t align because I am very strict with myself about routines, habits etc & am constantly analyzing my emotions & actions. So when I’m off it involves taking several steps:

• Identifying what feels off & misaligned. Journal, meditation & spending time alone to figure out who/what the culprit is that has you off center

• Reflecting on core values—things like health, family, creativity, or independence. Misalignment can happen when we stray from our values, so understanding them can help guide your choices

• Redefining what you want in various areas of life & setting intentions that align with your values

• Make sure to stay on track with your routine & habits. Sleep, exercise & mindfulness improves mental clarity and helps you feel grounded

• Limit social media, unnecessary obligations, or habits that drain your energy. On a general aspect I ONLY CONSUME things that align with my goals. Simplifying your environment and commitments allows you to focus more on what aligns with your goals

• Put extra focus on things that interest & inspire you. Learning, hobbies etc

• See who you are surrounding yourself with, what they bring out of you, who you become, their traits. When I’m off the first thing I do is limit interactions with everyone who’s actively in my life until I can evaluate each interaction

You need to have very honest conversations with yourself and have a very clear understanding of your values. Then establish strong boundaries & be very honest with yourself about situations and how they make you feel

mental diets.

in regards to manifesting, a mental diet is considered a diet in relation to your daily thoughts. it's a diet for the mind that prescribes you which thoughts you can "feed" and "nourish" yourself with and which thoughts you need to avoid or abstain from. in short, it's an inevitable and essential part of everyone's manifestation journey.

thoughts.

before we get into procedure and practice, let's first define the two types of thoughts that we have. our thoughts are categorised into either positive or negative. positive thoughts are the ones you are permitted to have, negative thoughts are the ones which are forbidden to think about.

positive thoughts.

these are thoughts that confirm or contribute to you having your desire. they help you live in the end and stay in your desired state. they are in alignment with who you want to be and how you want to show up as.

negative thoughts.

these are thoughts that stand in opposition to your desired reality. they contradict your aim and are in the way of being or becoming your desired version of self.

practice and procedure.

when going on a a mental diet, you become more conscious of the thoughts you think of on autopilot and on a daily basis. you try to observe the thoughts your mind keeps coming back to habitually and make decisions upon the direction of your inner conversations, controlling and managing thoughts of good, bad or indifferent nature. in other words, you start to consciously change and correct your thoughts, as you are in complete charge!

when it comes to positive thoughts, you are obviously allowed to think and accept them. your goal is to think as positively as you can and engage with thoughts in your favour. with negative thoughts however, your aim is to deny any ideas that do not serve you or your desired self. you have to refuse to entertain any opposing thoughts concerning your desires and not let any undesired thoughts influence who you are conscious of being.

after rejecting these thoughts, your job is to redefine yourself. this means that you are revising negative statements made in the mind and replace them with positive ones, validating your desired story. whenever you catch yourself thinking unfavourably, you alter ("flip") that thought on the spot, then and there. you basically reaffirm it.

purpose.

there are several intentions of a mental diet. some include realigning yourself with your desired state, not allowing your mind to fall into old, undesired thinking patterns, eliminating and erasing as limiting or contradictory thoughts, getting rid of intrusive thinking, leaving no room for uncontrolled thinking, purposely filtering bad thoughts, not indulging in any unpleasant ideas, provide yourself with positive thoughts, creating new thinking habits and establishing a new mindset, building trust in the law and yourself, solidifying your desire in your mind as yours, strengthening your belief and faith in your assumptions, understanding that you have the ability to select your thoughts, training and learning how to spot unwanted thoughts right away, practicing mindfulness, discipline and self-awareness, directing your focus, attention and concentration, exercising self-reflection,... and more.

permanent diet.

the way you go on a mental diet is pretty natural, as conscious manifestation itself is all about filtering thoughts and choosing between what’s good and what’s not. it’s a diet that persists as it turns into a lifestyle, a lifelong commitment, which starts to feel more and more familiar over time. you do not suddenly stop supervising your inner monologues, even after obtaining your desire. you will most definitely continue to persist in your desired assumptions as well as your overall desired mindset and way of thinking.

only once you fixate too much on perfecting your mental diet, that’s when it becomes unnatural. a mental diet's purpose is to support you in staying in your wished state. it’s simply guiding you towards better attitudes and approaches of the mind.

implementation.

you can improve your mental statements by …

interrupting your thought process. with this technique, you basically intervene and stop yourself from thinking. whenever you find yourself assuming something unfavourable, you won't "complete" the thought.

revising ("flipping") your thinking. after you have interfered with your own thoughts, your next task is to revise the statement you were making mentally. you do this by replacing your old, undesirable thought with a new, desirable thought.

reassuring by reaffirming. especially when you are revising your thoughts, you can use affirmations such as "i remember when i manifested ...", "regardless of everything, i have manifested ...", "remember when i manifested ...?" or other umbrella affirmations to make you feel self-assured.

diet in steps.

this is a mental diet simplified:

reflect · you reflect on a thought and decide whether it's positive or negative.

reject and correct · if it's a negative thought, you reject it and then correct it.

accept · if it's a positive thought (again), you accept the it.

persist · you insist on persisting in the (now) positive thought.

with love, ella.
