Self Care Guide For Bad Mental Health Days 🎀🍦

more girly kei brands need to cash in on otaku culture because so many jirais engage in oshikatsu

ankrouge was so real for this

if it’s meant for me, I will have it. if it isn’t, I’m prepared to receive something even better.

Lmao I this tip will work for me perfectly 🤭

*ೃ༄ ɴᴇɢᴀᴛɪᴠᴇ.ɪᴍᴘᴀᴄᴛ.ʀᴀɴᴛ. ʚ♡ɞ

a tip for people who like affirming and visualizing, use your negative thoughts to your advantage.

example- when i was manifesting having long hair, I found that using affirmations that sounded natural to me worked the best. I started out by affirming my hair goes to my stomach, but the more i kept affirming it, I was like ugh it’s so annoying how my hair catches on everything because it’s so long. I wanna cut my hair because it’s so long. I hate how my fingers get tangled in my hair cause it’s long. I hate brushing my hair because it’s so long.

and guess what, by the next day my hair was down to my waist.

then I kept thinking more and more about why complaining about the thing I wanted worked better for me.

What I found was it was the implication that mattered more than the phrasing of the words. This is why umbrella affirmation work for everyone regardless of their desires, because they imply they have what they want: whether it’s rent money or a five month cruise trip to the Bahamas.

The words don’t matter, the picture doesn’t matter, what journals and pen you use when you script doesn’t matter, the subliminal maker doesn’t matter.

WHAT.MATTERS.IS.YOU.IMPLYING.YOU.HAVE.WANT.YOU.WANT.

complaining about the thing that i wanted implied I already had it. The implication is just as powerful as consistent repetition.

So complain about shifting everytime you close your eyes, complain about shifting everytime you think of your dr.

So complain about manifesting everything you want instantly to the point you don’t even want anything anymore. complain about every method working, every part of your life being perfect.

go live your dream life, and if you’re doomscrolling on tumblr rn looking for the magic technique or affirmation, do this one thing for me. Get off your phone and set a timer, and while that timer is going, just complain nonstop about having everything you want.

But what if… things work out, nothing bad happens, your hard work pays off, you get through this and prove yourself

refresh, reboot shower routine⋆.ೃ࿔*:･🧖🏽‍♀️🧁

WHATS A REFRESH REBOOT SHOWER? ;

a refresh reboot shower are the kind of showers that u take that act like a reset button. i personally love them especially when i feel like i have so much energy pent up and i can channel it into doing something positive for myself.

ROMANTICIZE ;

something important to remember while taking a refresh reboot shower is to be PRESENT. thats what makes these showers different. instead of doing ur normal shower routine, or ur everything shower routine, this is the REFRESH REBOOT shower routine.

take time to feel the water on your skin. make sure its to the exact temperature that you like. smell the products that ur putting on ur body and bask in how yummy they smell. feel the soapy foam beneath ur fingers, wash every inch of urself HAVE FUN.

GUA SHA IN THE SHOWER ;

sculpt that beautiful face. gua sha is good for so many reasons. its good to reduce puffiness and swelling and its amazing for ur lymph nodes. do a full gua sha routine and watch how amazing u feel.

EXFOLIATION ;

exfoliation feels like (at least for me) like im shedding an old skin and revealing a new one so its a MUST for a refresh and reboot shower. so before the shower do some dry brushing for the softest skin then go in with a body scrub.

i rly recommend the tree hut scrubs or you can make your own with this simple body scrub recipe. so first off decide if ur doing a salt or a sugar scrub and i'll briefly explain the difference here.

sugar scrub ; deposits minerals into the skin, gentle exfoliation, hydrates the skin, helps draw water into the skin, less abrasive, smoothens and brightens the skin.

salt scrub ; eliminates toxins, gives a rosy glow, anti aging abilities, provides minerals vitamins and nutrients, tones and restores the skin.

to make a sugar scrub simply (1/2 cup of coconut oil + 1/2 cup of granulated sugar + 15-20 drops of essential oil of choice)...💬🎀

hot tip ; if u want to make it more scented you can even use a couple drops of a body wash along with the essential oil

to make a salt scrub simply (1 cup of sea salt + 1/4 cup of a carrier oil + 10-20 drops of essential oil of choice)...💬🎀

CHANGE UP THE SCENT ;

if u have a signature scent that you do a lot of the time, try and go for a different scent. im a hygiene junkie so i like to have a variety of different soaps to use, even though i almost always stick with the basics (smelling like a yummy cupcake) unless i want something different. changing up the scent can be refreshing so if you feel like it'll be refreshing for you, try and go for a different scent for a couple of days.

DOUBLE CLEANSE ;

if double cleansing isnt something that u do on a day to day basis then its perfect to do in ur refresh and reboot shower. wash ur body first with a bar soap (preferably something unscented or organic)

doctor bronners soaps work good too if u dont have a bar soap that u like. after using the bar soap go in with a liquid soap (ofc following the scent guide in the previous section) that way you can feel even more squeaky clean and refreshed.

Just found the cutest brand and made a purchase🎀

Can you give tips for those who can't follow a routine, please?! 💗 I loved your blog :)

tyy i'm glad ♡

this is what works for me:

✦ romanticizing mundane tasks. finding a new yummy recipe for breakfast will make you want to get out of bed, getting a cute mug will make you wanna drink tea. sometimes i light a candle and shower with the lights off. i also like to make my own body scrubs using natural ingredients like brown sugar and honey. these things are extremely helpful when i'm struggling to get up and go take a shower. i also love using banana or strawberry toothpaste. if i'm feeling too lazy to brush my teeth, i remember i have my fruit toothpaste and it makes me more excited to go and clean my teeth. it's about making boring stuff more enjoyable.

✦ planning my day according to my energy levels. if i feel like i can't bear an everything shower, i'll just clean my body and use dry shampoo. if i can't deep clean my room, opening the window, putting my clothes away and making my bed is better than doing nothing at all. if i'm harsh with myself and try to force myself to cross every task out of my to do list, i'll end up paralyzed, thinking about all the things i need to do and can't, and i'll end up doing nothing at all.

✦ forgiving myself and moving on. let's say, i started doing oil pulling every day and i've been able to do it consistently for a while, but then skipped one day, because i slept in, or because i was sick. this doesn't mean all my progress is lost and that i might as well stop doing it altogether, because i skipped a day or two. i'm better off doing it once a week, or missing a few days, than not doing it at all. at the end of the day, it's still such a great habit to have and it's a good habit that's going to stack alongside with others.

✦ writing things down. i really can't function unless i write everything down. writing to do lists, schoolwork that's due, shopping lists, my goals, it all helps me stay organized, sane and grounded. i have a lot on my mind at all times and need to take those worries and write them down, otherwise i'll go insane. i like to use the notes app on my phone and notion, because i got into the habit of checking these every day and so i know i won't end up forgetting about these lists. i also like to use planning sheets. i stick them to my wall so i won't forget about them.

i hope this is helpful! ♡♡
