A Little Something About Your Subconscious Mind

Go cry about it. Then come back stronger than ever.

Bad grade on a test? Go cry about it.

Got rejected? Go cry about it

Feeling left out? Go cry about it.

Listen, im not trying to make you feel upset or angry in anyway. I am genuinely telling you: if something has happened that is actually negatively impacting your life very strongly, GO CRY ABOUT IT. Express those feelings. Scream into your pillow. Punch your bed. Pour your thoughts onto paper then rip it up and burn it. Feel the feelings vividly.

But what about after that? Are you going to keep crying about it? Are you going to keep victimising yourself and feeling sorry for yourself? Yuck. Look girl, cry about it, then come back stronger than ever.

Like Haruki Murakami once said: “But we cannot simply sit and stare at our wounds forever.” He was right. We can cry and let the wounds hurt for a bit, but then we must get up.

Life moves on, so must we.

You can either make excuses, or make a way.

tricking yourself into doing tasks that make you nervous

you know the situations. when you get wrapped up overthinking and suddenly, this seemingly easy task seems horrible and daunting. here are some tips to help you trick your brain into completing the action.

visualise success. imagine how good it will feel once the task is completed. this can boost your motivation and reduce anxiety.

pair the task with an enjoyable activity - for example listening to your favourite music or having a nice cup of coffee while working.

promise yourself a reward for completing the task. it could be something small like a treat or a break to do something you enjoy.

tell yourself that you're just excited. you're challenging yourself. this positive gaslighting will help you feel more positive about your nervous energy.

How to fix your sleep schedule

Utilize the circadian rhythm

Your body’s internal clock, or circadian rhythm, regulates sleep-wake cycles. To reset it, aim for consistent sleep and wake times. Research suggests that irregular sleep patterns can disrupt circadian rhythms, leading to poorer sleep quality.

Morning sunlight exposure

Helps regulate your circadian rhythm. Studies have shown that natural light in the morning helps advance your sleep-wake cycle, making it easier to wake up earlier and fall asleep at the desired time.

Implement Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I)

CBT-I is a structured program that helps address the thoughts and behaviors that disrupt sleep. It has strong evidence supporting its effectiveness in improving sleep patterns and addressing insomnia.

Apply sleep restriction therapy

This involves limiting the time you spend in bed to the actual amount of time you sleep, which can help consolidate sleep and reduce insomnia. Over time, you gradually increase your time in bed as sleep improves.

Control sleep environment

Studies suggest that a sleep-conducive environment—dark, cool, and quiet—improves sleep quality. The optimal temperature for sleep is typically around 65°F (18°C).

Avoid stimulants and disruptors

Caffeine can remain in your system for several hours and interfere with sleep. Limit intake, especially in the afternoon and evening. Similarly, alcohol can disrupt sleep cycles and reduce sleep quality.

Practice sleep hygiene

This includes regular physical exercise (preferably in the morning or early afternoon), avoiding heavy meals close to bedtime, and establishing a relaxing pre-sleep routine to signal to your body that it’s time to wind down.

Monitor and adjust sleep duration

Aim for 7-9 hours of sleep per night. If you sleep more or less than this, it can affect your sleep-wake cycle. Consistent sleep duration helps stabilize your internal clock.

1. Daily Self-Care Routine

Start small by adding one or two self-care habits to your daily routine, like stretching for 5 minutes in the morning or writing down three goals for the day ( like drinking more water ).

2. Be kind to yourself

Tip: Create a habit of switching your mindset and words. Try saying “I am capable of achieving my goals” or “I deserve to take care of myself.” instead of discarding your needs and feelings.

3. Add little challenges to your day

Try a 30-day personal challenge, like journaling every morning, starting a workout routine, or reading 10 pages of any book you like each day.

4. Dealing with burnout

Reserve one day of the week for self-care and doing things you enjoy. Even if you can't take the full day for yourself try to make it at least two hours for a good and relaxing shower, taking care of your skin, hair and body. Maybe you can even treat yourself to your favourite meal!

5. Productivity Hacks

Break tasks into smaller, manageable chunks, and set a timer (like the Pomodoro technique—50 minutes of work followed by a 10-minute break) to stay productive without feeling overwhelmed.

Tip: If a task takes less than two minutes to complete (like answering a quick email or tidying up your desk), do it immediately. This prevents small tasks from piling up and becoming overwhelming.

That's all!! Tell me if you'd like more tips.

Stay healthy, stay happy and be kind!
