Pessimistically optimistic be like “today sucks but hey it could’ve gotten worse but it didn’t”. Relate much?

ways to practice self-love 🤍

start prioritizing yourself

take control of your life, forget the past and enjoy your present

surround yourself with beautiful things that make you feel good, romanticize your life every day!

balance your body, mind and spirit (i.e. don't only give importance to your appearance, for example)

create a healthy routine that brings you closer to your goals or to your best version of yourself

do outdoor activities or activities that make you feel good and productive

allow yourself to rest when necessary

lead a healthy lifestyle, exercise, good nutrition and positive thinking

stay away from toxic people and learn to set limits, for you

speak to yourself with love and treat yourself with love

do things that make you feel proud of yourself

think what your best version of you would be like, with your qualities and goals and start working towards it

don't give importance to what others say, it says more about them than about yourself

stop focusing on what you don't like about yourself or your circumstances and focus on the positive

be thankful every day even if it is for small things

be aware that you are deserving of all the good things that are about to happen to you

change your mentality to a more positive one with affirmations and meditation

do not consume toxic content, be it news or social media

don't blame yourself, but take responsibility for your actions

empathize with yourself

stay away from self-criticism and perfectionism

be aware that it is your life and that you deserve to be happy, you can not continue living in the negative or what harms you

treat yourself as you would like to be treated and do not do what you would not like to be done to you

go on dates with yourself from time to time and enjoy the present moment, go to a coffee shop, get your nails done, go shopping by yourself

don't compare yourself with other people, it's your life, not other people's life

be responsible for yourself and your actions

Something that schools don't teach you but is much needed: how to have a work/life balance that works for you.

As someone who works fulltime and does classes and attempts a social life and hobbies, this gets very hard and stressful. But here are some tips I have for helping:

Learn to say no and not feel guilty. Picking up that extra shift when you had plans? Politely decline. Your friend is begging you to take ANOTHER class when your plate is full so you can have one together? Just be honest and say you can't.

Prioritize your sleep and eating. You can't function well if you don't sleep and eat enough. These are not things you can just push aside and do when you get the time. These are basic things you need to survive. These are literally basic needs. Don't throw them to the side. Your body does its best to take care of you. Make sure you take care of it too.

Have boundaries and be firm with them. If you tell your manager you can only work x, y, and z, don't let them add a or b to it. Respectfully but firmly let them know that you can't take on those things and if they have you do a or b, your work overall is going to majorly decrease in quality. Schedule time for yourself. For studying. For going out. And treat those set aside times just like you would if they were work or school times or appointments. You are the most important part of your life.

Understand that some weeks are going to be absolute hell. You're not going to have enough time. You're going to be exhausted and cry and throw things and want to quit everything. You got this babe. Take breaks and remind yourself how amazing you are and treat yourself after.

Prioritize things and adopt better habits. Wash your dishes right after using them. Get a set bedtime. Get easy breakfast things. Take a walk.

Your friends will understand if you just need time alone. I promise. They love you and don't hate you because you're overwhelmed. I PROMISE. And if they don't, maybe they aren't really your friends.

Not everyone is a friend. Some people are acquaintances. Some people are a 5 minute smoke break at work for your sanity. Some people are drinking buddies. Some people are library study date friends. And that's ok! Not everyone has to be your bestie. And trying to put that much energy into that many people will drain you.
