Will your future self thank you?
Hey loves!
Tumblr media
This is a heads up to all the hardworking, beautiful souls if this applies to you, then take it!
"It is okay to take a break.”
Take a breather to relax and unwind. Breath in and breath out.
Being on ten 24/7 is a recipe for burnout.
This is coming from a dedicated university student taking an accelerated degree program. (I have a new semester every month. 😪)
Here's the thing: back in February, I made myself sick from working too hard!
I pulled countless all-nighters back-to-back and worked early shifts. Because right after my work shift, I went straight into my schoolwork into the wee hours of the morning. My body could only handle two weeks of self-induced torture before it protested. 
My body forced me to rest, which was a hard thing to do. I had to call off and ask for extensions on assignments which is something I rarely do.
One major lesson learned is that it is okay to give yourself periodic breaks in between.
It can help prevent headaches! Go ahead, take a quick nap, come back rejuvenated with fresh ideas!
Start by giving yourself 30-minute breaks, an hour, or even a couple hours before continuing.
I promise you this, your body will thank you!

What's the point of doing all of this if you're not taking care of yourself?
Besides giving yourself a break, make sure you stay hydrated and check your posture!!!

A lack of sleep will catch up to you. 💯
Please take the necessary steps for self-care.
Why would you work hard if you're not going to be able to reap your harvest?

Remember, your future self will thank you! 🧚🏽‍♂️✨

social media should not be your life!
we often become so consumed by social media that we neglect BEING actual people in our own lives.
our lives should not constantly be about retweets, celebrities, likes, follows or keeping up with trends. there’s more to life and there’s more to us
life is passing us by as we bury our heads in our phones. as we post the recents of our loved ones on their birthdays instead of being there to celebrate them, precious time is passing us by.
don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing wrong with being on social media. that would be foolish to say, although excessive and obsessive usage of social media is truly unhealthy and worrisome.
let’s let the time we spent w people and w ourselves be more important. let the many trips to restaurants, art galleries, parties, concerts, movies, skate parks, golf courses, beach picnics and boat cruises take more of our time than instagram and twitter.
stop retweeting what life you want and start living it, in any way possible. LIVE!

stop scrolling through tumblr blogs, twitter accounts and instagram pages preaching femininity, class, dream life, wealth, leveling up etc. and get actual hobbies, talents, skills and education! it’s great that you follow like-minded individuals but that’s just information, you have to get practical with everything you learn.

your hesitation to compliment, help and appreciate someone or people is a deeper rooted insecurity within you that you need to heal from. should you not you’ll find yourself being someone whom is very envious. sooner or later you’ll be surrounded by hateful, bitter and jealous individuals and unfortunately in no time you’ll become one of them too. heal boo🌸🤍

self-love is not as easy as social media makes it to be. it’s more work, it’s more demanding, challenging and turbulent. without a doubt it’s more rewarding.
“you are beautiful” is less about what the standard of beauty is but more about how you see yourself. accept, acknowledge your beauty. live in unison with it🤎🤍

Mental well-being check!
Hey loves!
How is your mental health lately?
Have you been accountable to yourself?
Tumblr media
It is so easy to downplay ourselves and the notion of seasonal depression.
The holidays are approaching, and it's not all sunshine, and cheers for everyone!
And guess what? That's alright!
These past two years have been hectic!!!
Regional and national issues, weather problems, losing family, friends, or even co-workers have been detrimental. And let's not forget the financial burdens and societal issues we've all had to face.
Take a breather.
Do you check in on yourself?
Do you take social media breaks?
We're boggled with information constantly in an instant.
It's good to give yourself a breather? It's alright to set boundaries and even limit what you come across. Remember, you can adjust your settings, fix your notifications, etc.
Tumblr media
Now, do you still enjoy your hobbies or interests?
It is easy to let life run you by. I encourage you to not allow life to run you dry.
Tips...
Have you considered talking to a therapist? Close friends and family are good, but make sure you're not burdening the ones you love.
Depending on your financial situation or if you do have a person if you're not able to have a therapist, don't let that stop you from other alternatives.
Having a friend or someone to talk to is essential. Do not stay reclusive to yourself!
Journal in the meantime. Better yet, if you're an animal lover, talk with your pet.
Humans need interactions; we're social beings. It's ingrained. Just don't drown in your head.
Tumblr media
Try to keep yourself up to date with what makes you happy.
Have you tried catching up or watching your favorite show?
Do a DIY project, buy a book, play an instrument, play a game.
Cook your favorite dish.
Do something to keep you stimulated. That will spark your interest or even inspire you.
Tumblr media
Keep in mind if you're not happy in a role or position. When possible, change it. Do not stay stagnant. I'll be lying if I said I have it all together. It's okay to be down, but it's not okay to stay down!
Tumblr media
You're going to have to change your mindset, be positive, and hold on to the thing that drives you. And if you find out that thing doesn't drive you anymore, then change the outcome/goal. Sometimes even changing the environment freshens you up.
The holidays are approaching, and 2021 definitely kicked a lot of butts. You don't always have to be speeding through. Slow down, take a breather, ground yourself.
Tumblr media
Life wasn't ever promised to be easy. But you have the power to make it worth it! Take care of yourself! You're living this life. Make the best of it.
How is your mental health lately?
