✧˖° how to stop self-sabotaging your success (and finally commit to doing the work)

post 1 post 2

hi angel, mindy here. let’s talk. because i know you want this. you want to be that student who shows up for herself/himself. you want to stop making excuses. you want to feel proud of yourself when this is all over. so why do you keep putting up roadblocks in your own way? why do you keep pulling yourself away from the very thing you know you need to do?

self-sabotage is not laziness. it’s fear, it’s perfectionism, it’s comfort, it’s this deep, quiet resistance that whispers, what if i try and fail? so you never fully try.

but guess what? we’re breaking that cycle today. right now.

✧˖° the illusion of "i’ll do it later"

procrastination is a liar with a pretty voice. it tells you that you’ll do it when you feel more ready, when you’re in a better mood, when the circumstances are just right. but the truth? later is just a hiding place.

so next time you catch yourself saying “i’ll do it tonight” or “tomorrow is better,” stop. ask yourself: what makes later better than now? if you don’t have a solid answer, it’s just fear talking.

✧˖° you’re scared of what happens when you actually succeed

self-sabotage isn’t just about the fear of failure. sometimes, it’s the fear of what happens when you actually get what you’ve been working toward.

because success? means expectations. it means proving that you can do it again. it means stepping into a version of yourself that no longer has excuses. and that can be terrifying.

but here’s the truth: the version of you that’s waiting on the other side of this work? she’s not a stranger. she’s still you, just with more proof of what you’re capable of.

✧˖° your study habits are built around guilt, not discipline

if studying always feels like punishment, if your entire academic routine is built around the feeling of “i should be doing more,” of course you’re going to resist it.

so let’s shift this. instead of studying because you have to, start studying because you deserve to succeed. because you want to feel prepared. because the version of you who walks into that exam room with confidence? deserves to exist.

make studying feel like an investment, not a punishment. romanticize it. find ways to make it an experience you don’t want to run from. pinterest is your best friend, studytok is your motivator and me (@glowettee is your mentor 😉)

✧˖° you wait for motivation instead of creating discipline

motivation is like a guest who shows up unannounced. sometimes, she arrives when you least expect it, and sometimes, she ghosts you for weeks.

discipline, though? discipline is the friend who always shows up. she’s reliable. she doesn’t wait until she “feels like it.” she just does it, because that’s who she is.

so stop waiting for motivation to hit like some kind of magical burst of energy. instead, set up routines that make studying non-negotiable. that make it feel natural. like brushing your teeth, like making your bed, like second nature.

✧˖° self-sabotage is a pattern. patterns can be broken.

if you’ve spent years avoiding hard work, of course your brain is going to resist when you suddenly decide to commit. your instincts are wired to avoid discomfort.

but the good news? self-sabotage is a learned habit. which means you can unlearn it. every time you choose to sit down and do the work, even when you don’t want to, you are rewriting your patterns. you are proving to yourself that you are not the same person who gives up.

and eventually? showing up for yourself won’t feel like a battle anymore. it will feel normal. it will feel like who you are.

✧˖° this is the moment you choose differently

look, you can close this post and keep doing what you’ve always done. you can keep waiting for some magical day when it all feels easy. or you can make a decision, right here, right now.

you can decide that you are done getting in your own way. that you are done letting fear win. that you are done delaying your own success.

because the version of you who is already succeeding? she is not far away. she is right there, waiting for you to step into her shoes.

it’s time, angel. show up.

love you all sooo much <3 i hope this post can help you understand; self-discipline > motivation

with love, mindy

March 22nd, 2025. Saturday.

Today was so good! I finally got my new Galaxy tablet's case and I LOVE it! It even comes with a pink mouse too! I put stickers all over it today and had so much fun today.

I also managed to get a lot of GRE studying done with the tab today too. I guess there's a benefit to being excited to use your studying materials-- you get excited to study too.

I have to be more active tomorrow, and I also need to take the library test and do my Communications class assignment.

Let's get this bread!!

What I accomplished:

Studied GRE 2 hours

Studied for the library shelving test I'm taking tomorrow

Input many GRE tasks into Shovel

Went grocery shopping

Wrote a rough draft of an article

Edited a 2nd draft of an article

Posted the article

Called the clinic

Ordered more medication

Wrote 2 Slowly letters

"Late Mr. .Carson?"

Gareth

This day was going splendidly. Amazing. Could not be better.

First, I was awaken ever so rudely by Nikolai's entourage, then on the way to college, some idiot with obvious eye problems managed to get himself nearly runover by Medusa. And now I was going to be undoubtedly late to criminal law.

Kayden's class.

Considering how much of a prick he is to me on usual days in class, today would just be worse. Funny, he's more than happy to be with me outside of class but the moment were on campus its all "Carson" this Carson that. I fucking hate how he calls me by my last name.

I sighed deeply as I stood in front of the lecture hall. Here goes nothing. Ugh

I opened the door to the lecture hall stepping inside, my gaze flicking over the classroom as finally landing on Kayden. He stands leaning on his desk, a PowerPoint presentation appearing to be on behind him.

He was clad in a crisp white shirt with blue stripes and beige dress pants. His grey eyes and square jaw stirring something inside me. Handsome Asshole.

"Your late Mr. Carson"

I meet his eyes.

"It appears so" I pause looking at him. I hold my head high

" Apologies"

"You will be receiving a absent remark on today's class" he replies

I grit my teeth.

I flash him my most charming smile, dimples and all that.

"Even though we can all see that I'm standing here?"

"I'm sure you're aware of my attendance policy, more then 10 minutes late is a absent." he makes a show of looking at his watch "It appears you're 15 minutes late however, take a seat before you disrupt my class further Carson."

I swear I don't know how I allow this prick to touch me.

I shoot knives, daggers, sledgehammers every destructive weapon you can think of at him with my eyes.

Later that day.

Moka purrs, her fur soft beneath my fingers as I pet her. My attention is snatched as I hear the door open.

I turn to see my professor at the doorway. Coincidently the man I'm fucking too.

"Hi Baby" he speaks as thought everything is peachy.

I don't bother acknowledging him , I turn away from him refocusing my attention on Moka as is she's the most interesting thing on Earth. ( she totally is )

I can feel his gaze on me, I hear his steps and feel him come closer.

"What's wrong now" he sighs

Almost like he's fed up with me.

My anger only increases.

"The other day . . . Zara was late to class, later than I was." my voice sounds surprisingly composed. "You didn't say anything then."

"Ah, so that's what this is about. " he seems to realize. "Zara had a valid excuse, what's yours?"

"Oh how about the fact that..." I trail off.

What is my excuse? I woke up on the wrong side off the bed this morning? Nearly ran someone over?

Well I really didn't think this through.

"I'm waiting" he raises a brow

I turn around to face him.

"I'm feeling quite forgiving today, so I will ignore the fact that you were being an absolute jerk. Again" I try to save myself.

"Is that so? Should I be grateful?" he stalks towards me.

"Absolutely" I reply as his hand snakes around my neck clutching my neck.

I peer up to look at him as his breath fans my face.

"And how may I show my gratitude?" he whispers in that seductive voice of his.

"I might have a few ideas" I whisper.

And then his lips are on mine.

(This is my first piece of fan fiction ever show some love please! )

To be loved is to be seen and understood.

Most friendships and relationships I was in never seemed to work out because of this one problem. I never felt seen, heard, or understood for who I really was. I longed to be understood to the depth of my core and yet it never happened.

Looking in on different sites, i realize it was a common problem most people struggle with these days. No matter how much you bond with a person, you never feel whole or truly seen for who you are. This is why people seek to move out and pursue better friendships, seek multiple hobbies and so on. and to your surprise none of these things will work.

The only way to overcome the desire to be understood, is to first understand oneself.

But how can you understand yourself from within if people who interact with you daily on an intimate level couldn’t? And the answrr is simple, you create.

We often underestimate art for its expressive value. The reason art exists is to describe oneself and to help one understand their true nature. Art evokes feelings not because it is inherently beautiful, but rather because it reflects the courage, dedication, and desire one has to understand themselves. That is why art is valuable—it reveals your own worth.

Endless consumption and desires only stem from this one obsession: the need to understand or relate to oneself. So, pick up anything that enables you to express yourself and create. Don't be a prisoner to the endless desires of this world.

Create.
