You unlearn or reprogram by doing/saying/thinking the opposite of what you usually do.

Stop playing victim and start taking control whether it’s mentally, physically, verbally, spiritually.

Flip the script. Rewrite your story. Press it into your subconscious by repeating this new story to yourself. Change your actions. Change your speech.

You are important. You are number one. Start acting like it. You are already who you “aspire” to be✨

my formula for success

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

no bullshit,

straight-to-the-point

manifesting guide

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Disclaimer: this post is about my personal experience, beliefs and what works for me. If you don't resonate with what I'm saying it's totally fine, you keep doing you.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

living in your head

doesn't mean being delusional, or crazy. imagination is the only reality. as simple as that. the faster you realize it the better things will be.

detachment

I've noticed that being objective of certain aspects of my desires had led me to instant success. but detachment from what? not from the desire itself but from the need of getting it. realizing that i don't desperatly need something somehow makes things easier and faster. lessening the importance of getting certain things makes you free from anxiety and fear, in my personal experience. and why would you be anxious about getting something you already have (see living in your head and daydreaming). go on with your day and stop sulking.

keeping it simple

if it feels like a chore, it won't do it for me. the simpler the better. only affirm or do methods when i want and feel like it. don't force it.

daydreaming

again, I'm a sucker for effortless stuff. for me, daydreaming has always been something natural to do. and if you can see and imagine yourself living your best life then you can have everything.

you do it to yourself

what you see is a reflection of your thoughts. you can't complain and ask why things are "not working" when you are the one who is in control. if you think you can't manifest, you won't. if you think manifesting is hard, it will be. you want to manifest effortlessly and fast, then say you can. you don't like something? change it.

don't question it

don't question how it works or how long it will take. don't question if you can get it or not. doubting is a waste of time. just trust that drive that won't make you give up your dreams.

Dream Girl Guide: How to Stay Productive

I saw this post on Twitter that said, "you're not overwhelmed, you're lazy and unmotivated." and to a certain extent, I agree. I definitely used to be a lazy, unmotivated person until I started working on my time management and organization skills. Here's how I did it:

Time Management

Get a planner

Everyone needs a planner; they are not just limited to students.

Find a planning system that is functional for you

I like to use a physical and digital planner:

A huge key to being consistently productive and organized is to make your task, especially reoccurring, as enjoyable and engaging as possible, which is why I like to use a physical planner; it allows me to be creative.

I like to keep it simple and just use stickers and washi tape; you want to make it enjoyable, but you don't want to take the focus away from the task at hand (planning)

The first photo is mine, but the other two are spreads by study_withashley that I've been using as inspo.

I use my digital planner for the "always on hand" convenience and the minimalistic layout. I use the apps Actions and Timepage; they are both a subscription ($2 a month), but it's super worth it!

Timepage is a calendar app with a monthly, weekly, and daily view; and Actions is for planning tasks (week view) and making lists.

You can change the background color and color-code your calendar and list. They have a 1-month free trial if you're interested!

How to efficiently plan

Monthly

♡ In your monthly and weekly view, write in any important dates that are set in stone (appointments, work and class schedule, due dates for assignments, tests/exams, birthdays, etc)

♡ Now that you have an idea of what your month will look like, on a notes section or sticky note, write down your own personal goals/action step, habits you want to practice or break, and unscheduled things you need to do. Don't overwhelm yourself - try to limit yourself to 5 in each category.

Daily

♡ Plan your days the night before - that way you have an idea of what your day is going to look like when you wake up and you can act accordingly. Don't plan days ahead; life is unpredictable.

♡ Schedule and prioritize 3 things every day; whether it's studying or having a self-care day.

Getting things done

♡ Set the tone - wake up early (at least by 9 am), fix your bed, and change out of your PJs.

♡ If you are going out, give yourself 1-2 hours to get ready. Avoid having to rush as much as possible.

♡ If you are staying home, have a designated space for getting work done - Some ideal spaces are at a desk, the library, Starbucks, and dining rooms. Do not work on a couch or bed.

♡ In addition, keep your space clean, and surround yourself with positivity and progressive things. Your environment affects your mood and productivity.

♡ If possible, stay ahead of your assignments to prevent stress and cramming.

♡ Like I said before, make your task as enjoyable as possible - Example: I don't like cleaning, so while I am, I watch vlogs of people being productive. It's motivating me while also distracting my brain from the fact that I'm cleaning. However, when it comes to more serious tasks, make them enjoyable, but not distracting.

♡ Use the Pomodoro technique to avoid burnout (no phone breaks!)

♡ Create routines - you don't literally have to follow a routine every day, but routines are good for days that you feel like you need some structure in your life.

♡ Stay emotionally aware and prioritize self-care - don't neglect yourself trying to get things done because, in the end, it will backfire. Every day take at least 5 minutes to do something that makes you feel good.

Thanks for reading

One of my favorite productivity tips:

Dress up! Do your makeup and hair. Dress nice. Put on jewelry. It's hard to want to sit at home and do nothing when you put effort into making yourself look amazing. Plus the confidence boost helps you perform better as well! This has helped me so much you have no idea.

I don't want to go to class? I put on some makeup and now I don't wanna waste the makeup by sitting at home, so I'll get coffee. Well I'm already out and driving in the direction of class, might as well just go.

I don't want to study? I put on a cute outfit. Shit I might as well go to the bar down the road that has amazing wifi and get a drink and study. I look super cute and don't wanna sit at home.

I have a super important presentation? Let me look like a boss bitch. That red lip and winged liner combo. Those heeled booties. That cute cropped blazer. My favorite small hoops. Damn even if I don't do well, I look amazing and feel so good about myself.

Now, this method took a while to help me. I'm an extremely self conscious person and always hated how I looked. But doing this also helped with that quite a bit too. I started simple. A baseball cap and some eyeliner. Maybe a pair of heels and jeans. Eventually I built confidence and doing this has helped me so much with my productivity too!

You must get it together honey. Your life is your responsibility. It’s something YOU must decide to do. Discipline. Stop acting like you have nothing. Life doesn’t have dead ends. Stop being dramatic. Something can always be done. I have so many posts on changing your mindset on here. I’m not here to baby an adult. You must wake up👏🏼 There’s an entire life to live🥂

There’s so much power in knowing your power. Knowing that you can control what you give your energy to. Knowing that you have the power to create a new reality for yourself. To shape yourself into the person you want to be. To reinvent yourself into the badass that you visualize in your mind. To reach new goals, attain higher levels of success and almost anything you ever dreamed of. Visualize, plan, manifest and take action. Go be amazing. KNOW YOUR POWER.

I’ve decided I’m going to become a bitch, the baddest bitch actually. I’m talking waking up early, exercising because it gets my heart pumping, eating and enjoying whatever I want, working on my hobbies, channeling my mind to think about the dream girl inside me and making her become a reality. I’m putting in the work and putting all my energy and love into myself like never before. Why? Because I deserve it!

Today, become somebody else.

Just for one day, become whoever you want to be.

Think new thoughts. Speak different words. Act in a new way.

Just one day.

When you change your habits, you change your personality.

When you change your personality, your whole life shifts.

One day. You can do this.
