No One Else Cares For Your Success, So You Have To Care. You Have To Force Yourself To Get Up Early,

Honour the little girl inside of you, the little girl that was abused, hurt, abandoned, who felt she was never enough. Let her feel safe, let her know she is loved, tell her everyday. Make her feel so special, she deserves it, keep her clean and warm and nourish her with the nutritious foods. Let her feel free. Let her embrace the things she loved doing, skating in the park, jumping on the trampoline, painting, running, swimming, making sandcastles, girly sleepovers, making stories, playing dressup. It might sound silly, it might sound irrelevant but honouring the little kid inside of you is going to bring you so much joy and fulfilment. That little version of you, still exists, and deserves to be honoured. Give yourself the love and care, and joy that was stolen from you as a child.

Commit to your new life.

When you become aware of how you speak, how you think and how you act, you are no longer programmed by the past.

Teach your body how your future is going to feel like. Feel the emotions in the present moment. Right now, feel the emotions you want to feel in the future. 

You can become grateful and abundant before the promotion, or before you get the job.

You can feel in love before the relationship happen. You can fall in love with your life, your body, your choices.

You can steer your emotions with your thoughts.

So if you have been waking up grumpy for the past year, start disciplining your mind to feel grateful in the morning.

Practice guided meditations to create the feeling of abundance in your life. Start a gratitude journal. Praise yourself in the mirror. Flirt with yourself. Spoil yourself. You are the captain of your thoughts. Your thoughts influence your emotions. Emotions create your life. 

Build a new personality. 

If you really did believe your thoughts create your future, you would show up and do the work. You would observe your thoughts daily and when any negative thought pops into your head, you would flip it and built constructive ones. 

All it takes is awareness and discipline. Start today. Start right now. You are capable of changing your life just like anybody else.

Sending you much love 💖

START FUCKING AFFIRMING

and this is YET the nicest way to put it, you guys. speaking generally, I am sickandtired of y‘all going through every manifesting page on tumblr, instagram and god knows where to collect the information YOU ALREADY KNOW. you know damn well to affirm for your desires and to simply stick to that no matter what, WHAT‘S STOPPING YOU???! babygirl I need you to start right now. put away all of your notes on your phone trying to plan yourself an ideal routine on when exactly to affirm, when to do this and that, etc. I‘m saying this just to remind you that manifesting is something NATURAL. I even hate declaring it as "manifesting" BECAUSE YOU ARE SIMPLY THINKING AND BRINGING IT INTO LIFE. the only thing you need to know about manifesting is that it’s just your thoughts! what you are thinking at any given moment, most of the time and during the day.

I WANNA GENTLY REMIND YOU THAT

your dominant thoughts manifest.

you can manifest anything anywhere anytime.

the way you affirm doesn’t matter.

you don’t have to believe your affirmations (thoughts!).

circumstances don’t mean shit.

your desires are there, literally right here.

the 3d will catch up BECAUSE IT HAS TO.

you and you only are in control.

you are god.

you want it? you got it.

just start. it doesn’t matter how you do it, if you do it right, aesthetically enough, "technically" correct… even if your affirmations feel unnatural to you, there is no wrong way to manifest. yesterday I was so fed up with myself being unproductive and not starting shit (and yes, it’s because of mercury retrograde), I affirmed for 30mins STRAIGHT, only thought about my desire and did it a few times during the day. and I reached my goal.

everytime you "jokingly" say "I have my desired …", it counts. it matters to your process. and it brings you one step closer to your desire manifesting into the 3d. I know it might feel weird. for many people, manifesting feels so difficult to do because they all have this "I gotta plan x and y" mindset. don’t overcomplicate it. you have it. fuckin act like it sorry for being so mean oh lord please I love you and I believe in you babygurl!! :( ♡

Don’t you owe it to yourself to live your dreams, to at least try? To wake up and put your best foot forward, to do the things you’ve been saying you’re going to do. To make some fucking moves. You know how powerful it feels to make progress, so why are you holding yourself back? Why are you blocking yourself from your dreams? What matters right now is that you get out of your own fucking way, that you push forward. You pull your shit together and you make today fucking count. You pull out your to do list and you start stabbing through those tasks like a beast. With so much force and energy within you, that you’re ready to destroy today. Destroy it in a way that reveals all the trapped energy, stagnant energy that has been dormant inside of you. That you finally come alive and snap out of this low, inefficient state. That today you are finally awakened. 

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✨

Aphrodite 

Greek goddess of love, sex, war, beauty, passion, procreation, pleasure, desire, fertility, and the Morning Star

Before the Greeks called her Aphrodite, she was known to them as Astarte, who was their renaming of the goddess Astoreth from Egypt and Canaan (in turn, a renaming of the goddess Ishtar/Inanna). Though not to be confused with the Roman goddess Venus, as she existed independently as a goddess of gardens and vegetation before having some of Aphrodite’s attributes added.

Although she was primarily a goddess of love, sex, and beauty to the Greeks, Aphrodite was still honoured as a goddess of war and was known to bring victory and strength in battle. While she is indeed loving, she is also terrifying and has the ability to sway humans to her will- encouraging chaos wherever she pleases. Due to this, she was the bringer of frenzy and even the Fates would bend to her will. Should you cross her on the battlefield, you would not win. Though she is also a goddess of passion. She is indeed of great and powerful love, though also anger and hatred, thus connecting her with crimes of passion and even death (especially on the battlefield). This all made her one of the most feared deities of Ancient Greece.

In my personal experiences with this goddess, she is extremely powerful, cunning, ambitious, vain, and courageous, while also being empathetic, motherly, and tender all at once. She is not quite a “soft” goddess but can be gentle when she wants to be, otherwise, her presence to me feels like fire. Though when gentle, her energy feels like pure ecstasy and beauty, so much so that it brings tears to one’s eyes. Aphrodite is not shallow in the slightest and is a deeply compassionate and wise goddess who will stand tall and proud alongside her followers; she will never allow any of them to feel weak or ugly. She is also very fond of nature and adores all things that grow.

For myself, Aphrodite appears as a tall slender woman with long, wavy black hair, piercing blue eyes, and wears a deep red dress adorned with gold and diamonds. Her voice is gentle but it radiates power. She is also a withdrawn goddess who may not speak much, but when she talks about something she loves, she lights up. She is welcoming of all people, not just women, and supports those who transition as well.

Manifesting rant🥂

You can have what you want. So please stop with the imposter syndrome and with the “if it’s meant to be” shit. Get that out of your head. You can have what you want because you are the creator of your reality. Stop putting so much value on material objects and jobs etc and place that value on yourself. Do you want what you are asking for??? If yes, then affirm that it’s yours and go on with your life and don’t start that nonsense of “if it’s in God’s will thennn”...like omg do you know what God is capable of creating??? Receiving a billion in cash is probably so boring for God to create. What we want seems so big for us but God’s like “wow, this is a snooze fest, can they ask me for something bigger🙄👀”. People are too scared to ask God for what they want but are also fully aware that God created dinosaurs and mountains and the ocean. Like how the fuck do you even come up with that?🤕

Dream huge, ask for a lot. Manifest the fuck out of your life. Get what you want. Earth is yours. The universe is yours. What you want is just an object, it’s just a house, it’s just a car. Having a good time on Earth is your birthright.

Also stop being humble and modest while you’re at it. You don’t earn any brownie points thinking you need to act that way. You deserve so much more than what you ask God/people/the universe for.
