There’s something very damaging about looking in the mirror everyday and noticing your flaws. When was the last time you admired your beauty? You accepted your reflection in the mirror? 
Learning to love what you see involves changing the tone and judgment of your inner voice. Instead of repeating how desperately you need to change aspects of your face, your forehead lines, your lips, your jaw, your hair. Change the narrative. Affirm love, speak love into yourself. Fall in love with your reflection. No more negative talk. It might be a process, it might take some time to go from ‘I desperately need a facial, look how disgusting my skin is’ to ‘I love and accept my beauty in all its phases’ but is it worth it? Is it worth speaking words of kindness, of gratitude into yourself? Without a doubt. So next time you look in the mirror, don’t hesitate to smile at yourself, send yourself some extra love and kindness, and maybe even go the extra mile and be DELUSIONAL. Remember being kind to yourself is your birthright. No more judging yourself, no more criticising, no more belittling. We're spreading extra love this year, and starts with how we speak to ourselves first and foremost.

The Subtle Art of Becoming "That Girl" in 2024 🌸✨
°❀°•❀•°❀°•°❀°•°❀°•°❀°•°❀°•°❀°•°❀°•°❀°•°❀°•°❀°•°❀°•°❀°
Tumblr media
Hello beautiful souls! It's me, Sophia. If you are new reader then
Hi! I’m Sophia and I want to empower women to prioritize their well-being while pursuing their dreams🌟
Today, I woke up feeling extra inspired by the #thatgirl aesthetic. You know her – she's the girl who embodies self-love, radiates positivity, and just seems to have her life beautifully organized. Personally, I believe, she's not just a trend; she's a movement towards becoming the best version of ourselves. And guess what? Becoming "that girl" isn't about perfection; it's about progress. It's about embracing the journey of self-improvement, self-care, and love. So, let's dive into a few ways you can bring a little bit of "that girl" magic into your everyday life:
1. Morning Rituals ✨
Start your day with purpose. Whether it's a morning skincare routine, meditation, or writing down your thoughts in a daily planner, find what centers you. If you have been following me for a while then you know how important this is. Remember, it's these small rituals that set the tone for a productive, positive day.
2. Self-Care Sundays 🛁
Dedicate time each week to pamper yourself. This could be a long bath, a skincare routine, or even a cozy evening with a book. It's all about showing yourself some love and appreciation.
I remember back in my childhood my older sister used to always have pamper sundays and I would always try and follow her footsteps however, back then your girl was as lazy as one can be...so zero exceptions. Be better than me girls and make the future you be proud.
3. Clean Girl Aesthetic 🌿
Embrace the clean girl aesthetic with a minimalist wardrobe, clean makeup looks, and a tidy space. A clutter-free environment not only looks good but also brings a sense of calm and order to your mind. Clean home = clean mind + remember clean body
4. Find Your Fitness Love 💕
Whether it's pink pilates, yoga, or a brisk walk in the park, find a physical activity that you love. It's not just about the physical benefits but the mental clarity and energy boost it brings.
5. Nourish to Flourish 🍓
Eating well is a form of self-respect. Fill your plate with colors, textures, and nutrients. It's not just about looking good, but feeling good from the inside out.
6. Learn and Grow 🌱
Embrace new hobbies, read more books, and challenge yourself to learn something new often. Growth is a huge part of becoming "that girl".
7. Stay Organized 📒
Invest in a good daily planner to keep track of your goals, appointments, and to-dos. There's something incredibly satisfying about ticking off tasks and staying on top of your game.
And here's a little secret for you: part of my "that girl" journey includes creating pieces that speak to my soul. I stumbled upon this adorable Etsy shop aka my Etsy Shop [GlowInGrow] that just screams self-care and love. My THAT GIRL planner is something that I did with love and my own hands. For me, it's not just a planner, it's my way of helping others because that's what being her is. Being her means she shares her secrets to help the rest of the girlies. MESSAGE ME FOR THE PROMO CODE *hint*
Also this planner has got you covered from setting your intentions and tracking your habits to planning your meals and self-care routines perfect for anyone looking to add that extra touch of mindfulness and beauty to their daily routine. It's subtle, but oh, so beautiful. 🌟
AND REMEMBER;
Becoming "that girl" isn't an overnight transformation. It's about making small, meaningful changes that align with who you are and who you aspire to be. Let's embrace this journey together, one step at a time. 💕
Last but not least, at the end of your journey of becoming that girl awaits the future who is The Girl!
Stay safe and stay hot...
With Love, Sophia

… yang selalu disemogakan.
Hingga kini, aku belajar bahwa harapan yang selalu disimpan di dalam hati akan terkabul dengan cara terbaikNya. Meski kita tak mengatakannya dengan keras, meski tak semua orang tahu. Harapan dan ingin yang ada di dalam hati akan mencerminkan juga perbuatan yang kita lakukan setiap harinya. Dan pada akhirnya, ia akan menemui muaranya.
Aku menyimpan satu harapan dalam-dalam, menulis dan melipatnya dengan hati-hati, menyimpannya di sudut hati paling dalam. Harapan yang selalu aku semogakan, sejauh apapun aku berada, dan dimanapun aku melangkah.
Berharap, seringkali memang melelahkan. Mengusahakan harapan tersebut, lebih membuat letih. Tapi sejauh ini, aku hidup dengan semangat dari harapan-harapan kecilku yang kusimpan dengan bahagia di dalam hati. Meski, aku belum tahu kapan saatnya aku akan merasakan realita dari harapan tersebut.
Karena itulah, aku menyebutnya ‘yang selalu disemogakan.’ Bagiku, memiliki harapan adalah cara untuk tetap menghargai panjang dan sulitnya perjalanan, dan juga cara agar bisa terus menemukan senyum.
Meski kadang berharap itu melelahkan, tapi ia melatih hati untuk tetap kuat. Karena, berharap itu seperti menunggu sebuah rahasia akan terbuka. Saat berharap kita tidak tahu apa jawaban akhirnya, tapi tetap mengasyikkan untuk tetap menunggu dan menebak.
‘Harapan yang selalu aku semogakan’, begitu aku menyebutnya. Saat ini aku belum tahu kemana kapal besar ini akan berlabuh, tapi akan kupastikan bahwa selalu ada senyum dan syukur yang mengiringi.
Jangan putus berharap, jangan letih memiliki ingin.
Tetaplah berharap. :)

Cintai apapun “secukupnya” saja.
Karena segala kepemilikan di dunia ini hanyalah “sebuah titipan”.
Percaya atau tidak, segala sesuatu yang melekat pada hati terasa akan menyakitkan jika kehilangan.
Seakan hidup sudah tidak ada harapan lagi. Seakan hidup terasa begitu hancur.
Seakan hidup terasa tidak adil.
Percaya atau tidak, segala sesuatu yang melekat pada hati tetapi sesuatu nya itu bukan “Allah”, secara tidak langsung telah menduakan Allah.
Padahal puncak atas segala nya adalah “Cukuplah hanya Allaah” didalam hati.
Dikasih duit 50juta, girangnya bukan main, sampai-sampai sholatpun tidak khusyuk karena saking bahagia nya. Bukan lagi menomor-satukan Allah, tetapi tindakan kita malah seakan menduakan Allah. Lebih condong kepada “sesuatu” yang seharusnya tidak perlu dimasukkan ke hati.
Ada seseorang yang melabuhkan komitmennya kepada diri, bahagia nya bukan main. Sampai-sampai saking girangnya merasa semesta milik seorang sahaja. Lupa bersyukur, lupa diri, lupa siapa pemilik hati.
Secara tidak langsung, tindakan kita mencerminkan bahwa diri begitu mencintai “sesuatu” itu ketimbang menomorsatukan Allah.
Perlahan, diri mulai jauh. Jauh dari Allah. Bahkan di sela sholat pun, masih dunia yang ada di hati — Yang katanya bukan dunia yang ada dalam hati :)

Procrastination happens when we delay doing things, and it's often connected to our emotions.

Practice stress-reduction techniques such as meditation, exercise, or spending time in nature.
Break tasks into smaller steps to reduce the feeling of overwhelm.
Prioritize self-care and take breaks to avoid burnout.
Feeling Uninspired or Creatively Blocked:
Engage in activities that stimulate creativity, such as brainstorming, mind mapping, or seeking inspiration from others' work.
Start with a simple and basic version of the task to get the creative juices flowing.
Collaborate with others or seek feedback to gain new perspectives.
Fear of Success:
Identify and challenge the negative beliefs or fears that may be holding you back.
Visualize the positive outcomes of completing the task successfully.
Focus on the benefits and personal growth that come with success.
