Girl to girl, fall in love with your own life. Go to the gym. Eat well. Sleep enough. Take your vitamins. Do things that make you happy. Keep showing up for yourself until your own growth becomes your biggest obsession.
turns out, reading voraciously, moving your body, loving people without keeping score, protecting your solitude, chasing nothing but your own growth, and occasionally staying out too late with people who make you laugh until it hurts is not a bad way to build a life.
Women get prettier when our nervous system is regulated & we're not living in chronic stress. Longer hair, shinier hair, softer + glowier skin, no bloating, no breakouts, no mood swings. We’re our best version when we rest more, slow down, spend more time in the sun, eat warm foods, dance, frolic... Biologically we're wired to be whimsical
no one can take away the fairytale life you made for yourself, fill everyday with whimsy and love, do what makes your heart happy, be so kind and grateful
Habits that have a high rate of return in life:
- sleeping 8+ hours each day
- lifting weights 3x week
- going for a walk each day
- saving at least 10 percent of your income
- reading every day
- drinking more water and less of everything else
- leaving your phone in another room while you work
There’s something so freeing about outgrowing the indentity you once clinged to and allowing yourself to explore life under new conditions. To call in the unknown and to welcome the fear that follows knowing the beauty that comes with change will hold you over.
@thedulab Understanding yourself shapes how you treat others.
The way you connect comes from your own experiences of feeling unseen or unappreciated. You mirror the lessons you’ve learned about recognition and respect.
Knowing yourself lets you genuinely see and value others.
Being good with people is a direct result of being honest with yourself. The reason you're good at making others feel seen is because you know what makes you feel insignificant. The reason you're good at validating others is because you know what makes you feel under appreciated
All you're doing is interacting with a past, present, or future version of yourself. Notice someone acting a certain way, you've acted similarly before when you were afraid. Notice someone using certain words, those are the same words you used when you lacked confidence. It's the same conversations you have with yourself in your head, just externalized
