As the new year goes on, my journey into different self-care routines continues. Everyone seems to be on the decluttering trend, purging their life on unnecessary things. Minimalism is on the rise yet again. However, I decided to take it shake things up. I’ve already tried to apply minimalism to my personal growth ideas, but it just didn’t work. The opposite seemed to make more sense. Maximalism was calling, promising an explosive live.
My Sunday routine is very precious to me. Honestly, I don’t where I’d be without it. It’s the start of the week so I make it a priority to ensure that I can set myself up for success in the coming days.
Today, I’ll be sharing that routine with you. You don’t have to follow it. It’s not a guide. This is the thought process that I’ve used for the past year. Adapt it for you. After all, we’re all wonderfully different.
Intention. You hear about it all the time. There is no shortage on articles talking about how to live life with intention. Its many benefits and so on. I’m a curious one so I started diving deep into it. To my surprise, I came across something different, a different type of intention. This one is supposed to help us fight the fear…of fear. They called it paradoxical intention.
Journaling seems like it’s going to be the self care trend of 2021. As we enter the new year, I was feeling adventurous so I thought I’d give it a try. At first, I thought it was nothing more than a ‘here’s what happened to me today’, but I was so wrong. Looking into future self journaling was one of the best decisions I made recently.
However, if I was going to journal, I was going to do it my way. I searched for hundreds of examples on the internet but nothing felt right for me. See, I’m a fan of brutal honestly. I’d rather much face an uncomfortable truth than be told a convenient lie. I didn’t want my bullet journal to be nothing more than me lying to myself daily.
So, I am here to share 12 prompts that provides inspiration. 12 honest questions that will allow us to face our inner demons. Something our future selves would be eternally grateful for.
The holidays have just passed us. Filled with loads of eating, drinking and all around good times. Seems fun right? It does, to a point. I’ve always associated Christmas with a high amount of guilt. Especially when it comes to food. This is a period where self hatred starts to rear its ugly head.
I know I’m not alone. Millions of people feel the same way. I shouldn’t have had that cake. My belly looks huge today. Why did I eat so much. It can be a very anxious time. The thing is that fitness companies seem to be extremely aware of this.
With the new year on the horizon, they are starting to circle us like sharks. There is blood in the water. They are willing to profit off the fact that weight loss becomes one of the most searched words on the internet around this time. The detox/cleanse/fit tea promotions are upon us.
Today, I’ll be deep diving into these ‘products’. I’ll let you know why they are useless, and how some can even cause harm to your body. Don’t worry. I won’t leave you empty handed. We’ll end by looking at some healthy ways you can tackle self hatred surrounding weight loss.
