Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do.

I genuinely think that any change in behavior starts w telling yourself that your worst days, worst performances, just worst moments in general aren’t who you “truly are.” It’s all about unlearning any thought process that essentially chalks up traits you aren’t proud of to “this is who I really am” “in reality I’m lazy” “in reality I’m just a bad person” bc not only is that never true, but it impedes your efforts to try to do better as well. Anything we struggle with has roots in things like childhood trauma, thoughts you’ve been fed before, your upbringing…. but never that you’re inherently a bad person. What I’m learning this year is that a lot of us doing better & being better & improving really comes down to self-talk—to disavowing the very notion that deep down we’re simply bad.

your friends & partners will actually love it if you enforce your boundaries b/c then they will never again need to guess if they're ever making you uncomfortable & don't know. healthy living tip :)

Diary of an aspiring Firefighter

Today was mildly productive. I need to remember resting my body makes me stronger

Woke up at 7:30 because my partner had to leave for work

Spent some time milling about and tidying my room before I went out for a walk

I practised the beep test, I got to 2.7 which was my goal (I plan to get .1 better everyday)

Spent some time playing the sims as my body hurt quite a lot from the gym the day before

Joined a teams call to learn about various graduate programs for the degree I'm completing (always need a plan B)

Went to the gym with the loml

Had dinner and had a cuddle before I left for my overnight shift

Everyday I get closer to my goal. Each day I can feel my body get stronger, each day I feel a renewed sense of motivation. I know the road to become a firefighter will be long and hard but I can get there

Current reading routine to prevent burnout

I have this terrible habit of becoming very motivated to read but I quickly become overwhelmed with choice and indecisiveness, or I get bored with the book I'm currently reading but don't want to start a second book in the middle of the first. This cycle tends to bring me down, it just brings me frustration and makes me disappointed in myself; wishing I could read like I used to as a kid.

After years of failed attempts to bring back my reading spark I finally developed the following structure.

At any point in time I will have a rotation of four book I'm reading at once (I know it sounds like a lot but stay with me). Each book will be part of the following categories:

Fiction

Self-help/spiritual

Classic

Non-fiction

This list helps me reach all my reading goals. I get to enjoy my fantasy books, while also broadening my horizons with classics, non-fiction, and self-help. I find that when I set myself to reading just one book at a time the non-fiction and self-help books will get neglected, but if I read only one of those at a time i'll experience fomo for some dramatic fantasy. This eliminates that issue for me. If I start to become bored or feel fomo I can just switch to a different category to fill that void.

My current reading cycle is:

Red Queen

Atomic Habits

Pride and Prejudice

League of Lady Poisoners

I know this isn't revolutionary but this small change completely altered how I enjoy reading as an adult. I hope it can help someone as much as it helped me :)

🎀🤍KNOW YOUR WORTH🤍🎀

🤍" In order to be valuable to others , we need to be valuable to ourselves first " -The Wizard Liz

🎀To develop self-worth, you must realize that it is not extrinsic but intrinsic. It was present since the day you were born . You will not find your self-worth in other people or their opinions. Self-worth is innate , it comes from within.

🤍Your value does not come from your status or followers . It does not come from anything that is external , it is always intrinsic. You have control over your self-worth. Nothing or no one can make you feel bad without your consent. We all have the same level of intrinsic value , the problem is not everybody sees it.

🎀When God created you , he did not put your value in your grades , skin color , in size of your nose or flesh . He put your value in your spirit. Your spirit was made in the image of God. Understand how valuable you are , you were created in the image of an eternal , infinite and omnipotent God.

🤍If you do not acknowledge your worth , you will sell yourself short. If you start valuing yourself , others will start valuing yourself. If you know your worth or value , you will have high -standards . You will not be desperate, you will be highly-selective with who you allow in your inner circle and life. Don't allow everyone to have access to you or your energy.

🎀Never try to find your self-worth in other people's opinions . If you allow other people's opinions control how you feel , you are giving them your power. You will become their puppet . Be strong in yourself , know your worth and never settle for less. Never ever make your value go down because of anyone or anything.

🤍You matter , you are important and precious. It does not matter who made you feel small . You have the power to make your confidence go back up. Start acting like you matter because you do !

🎀The Universe wants you to know your worth , If you ignore the Universe's message, it will continue to be louder. You will continue to attract people who will mistreat you and treat you as if you are less than them.

🤍If I crush or beat 20$ , it would still have it's inherent value. Right ? You must know your value and not try to find your value in others or their opinions or how they treat you. How others treat you is a reflection of them , it is never personal.

🎀To cultivate a sense of worth, shift your focus to your strengths , believe in yourself and be clear about your values - have boundaries for yourself , speak up for yourself and find ways to validate yourself. You can also use affirmations to develop self-worth. Tell yourself, " I know my self-worth " .

🤍Never underestimate your self- worth . Know and own your self-worth . Refuse to be treated any lower than what you deserve. You are worthy of love and happiness . You deserve the best life !
