Girls…..

Being it girl/ that girl is not about bodyshaming yourself and others. It's not about misogynistic view on other women. It's not about hateful comments towards other's lifestyles. Being it girl is not about eating disorder and self-hate. It's not about creating ourselves for beauty standards and male gaze.

It's about self-care and healthcare. It's about respecting our own selves, it's about respecting our personalities and bodies. It's about healthy meals, it's about treating yourself with kindness, it's about complimenting ourselves, it's about love, self love especially.

just me and my lipstick against the world

bad habits that held me back for years

negative self talk: tune into your inner voice and turn mean thoughts into kind ones

prioritising comfort over progress: you have to actually do the work, then enjoy your rest and comfort (with less anxiety too)

hanging around the wrong people: you are the sum of the people you spend the most time with, choose your friends carefully

never taking responsibility: tough stuff happens to everybody, focus on what you can control (you) rather than blaming outside circumstances (not talking about trauma here obviously)

expecting praise for 'being yourself': you're good enough as you are in a spiritual sense, but if you want to be excellent at something you have to actually do the work, not just expect praise and reward for just showing up

liking the aesthetic more than the work: do you want to achieve that goal or do you just like how it looks on pinterest??? make sure you derive some level of pleasure and satisfaction from the pursuit

overthinking: seriously just tell your brain to shut up. stop over intellectualising and over thinking every single thing. find your heart to guide you and save your brain power for working on your passions...
