physical: winter essentials, what to wear, beauty products, winter reads and bucket lists

like i always say: you create the definition of dream girl and it can always change. so what does your ideal winter look like?
have a balance of attending holiday parties, walks in the city to see the lights, indoor shopping and staying inside, in your cozy space while keeping warm with a hot beverage and a good movie/book!
create a winter routine! make sure to get your daily fresh air, staying physically & social active and uplifted to stay away from the winter blues. wake up earlier.
pick up a new hobby

get a new signature scent for winter
candles

tote bags, small crossbodies
trousers
the basics to layer. turtlenecks, mocknecks, wool crewnecks, leggings, long sleeves, thicker socks
and… the bear hat and scarf. i love it. don’t look at me.
blushed and flushed or nothing comes out in this post as well! the cold look is the absolute cutest.
glittery eyeshadow and highlighters
gradient lip combos
plum colored makeup looks for the holiday season
gear towards creams instead of gel moisturizers. creams are heavier, gel will hydrate your skin but it won’t last you through the whole day. you’ll eventually start your skin tightening and dry mid-day.
i always go through my sheet masks fast during the winter! run the extra serum on your neck, chest and hands.
Invest in face masks, a good face cream and lip product.
keep hand cream and lip balm on you!

keep up a routine and structure. switch it up when you feel called to. it can be hard when it’s cold and the days become darker but remember the feeling that comes with being active and getting things done.
take a list and write things down that you can enjoy in the winter and focusing on bringing more of it into your life for the season.
make yourself cozy and romanticize life! stock up on sweaters, get cute blankets, bake goods to enjoy and have your house smelling heavenly, play music in the background, and whatever your heart desires.
sit by the fire or window, cuddled up in a blanket and dive into another world with bamb’s recommendations!

stop worrying
i manifested majority of my dream life in 3 months, simply because i stopped worrying. i stopped asking "how" or "when", i stopped wondering if i needed to take extra steps or if i needed to put in work. i stopped worrying about if i was doing the right methods or if the process was happening. i stopped asking and started doing; started affirming daily, reminding myself, stopped wavering, interrupted negative thoughts immediately during occurance and replaced them with positive ones.
i used to have no path in life, i didn't have a job, friends, a relationship, wasn't in school, depressed, struggling with an eating disorder. i was literally living the staple life that most people would absolutely dread.
i switched the entirety of my purpose around simply by telling myself otherwise. i rejected what others told me what my "reality" and replaced it with what i truly wanted. within 3 months, i was socializing more than i had in the last 3 years. i was getting opportunities i used to dream about.
and remember, it only took me 3 months because that's how long i choose for it to take. there were times where i would say "this will come next week" instead of "this will come within 0.00001 seconds". therefore, i got my results by next week instead of instantly. you choose your time period.
If anyone has any more screenshots or reblogs from Catherine especially, let me know! She was such a big help with simplifying the void!

loajaydawayda on finding a method that works for you:
Misc:
become the laziest shifter ,
shifting is not a labour camp. you are not laying bricks. you are not a victorian chimney sweep, coughing up soot and hoping the foreman doesn’t notice you pausing for breath. shifting is supposed to be effortless.
here’s how to become one.
ʚ stop trying so hard. seriously. shifting is not an algebra equation that needs solving. the more you obsess, the more you reinforce the idea that shifting is difficult, that it requires strain. it doesn’t. it’s like falling asleep. easy, natural, inevitable. you don’t need to ‘do’ shifting. you just allow it.
start ditching the obsession with techniques. they are tools, not commandments. if a method feels like a second job, drop it. some people shift while blinking. others shift mid-sneeze. some wake up shifted. some never have to think about it at all. you’re allowed to be one of those people. shifting doesn’t reward effort, it rewards ease.
people who shift aren’t ‘lucky.’ they just decide they’ve already won. embrace the delusion. belief isn’t something you prove; it’s something you wear like an expensive coat. you don’t need external validation. your reality is dictated by you, not by polls or peer reviews.
stop tensing up in bed like you’re about to undergo surgery. roll over like you’ve just been fed grapes by hand and have never known stress. get comfortable. let go. do you think nero worried about his shifting technique? no. he just made a decree and the world bent to him. you are your own emperor. decree your reality.
shifting doesn’t need to feel like a cosmic event. no need for vibrating, levitating, the heavens parting. sometimes it’s quiet. lose the expectation of ‘fireworks.’ sometimes it’s like slipping into warm water, seamless and smooth. don’t wait for ‘proof’. just shift.
stop acting like reality is a prison cell. you are not ‘trapped’. you are not ‘stuck’. you’re just sitting in one room when you could walk into another. no chains, no locks, just a door.
or how to . . become the laziest manifestor ,
manifesting is not an unpaid internship. you are not earning it through blood, sweat, and desperate scripting at 3 a.m. manifesting is a birthright. a casual shrug. a ‘wouldn’t it be funny if. oh, look, it happened.’ you are not grinding for your desires.
so let’s talk about getting everything you want.
⭑ in its core, manifesting is just deciding. it is not a scavenger hunt. it is not an exam. it is not a ‘what if’. it is a ‘this is.’ people who get what they want simply assume it’s already theirs. they don’t waver. they don’t worry. they don’t ‘hope’—they know.
stop micromanaging the how. do you manually control your heartbeat? do you stress over each individual breath? no? then stop hovering over your manifestations like an anxious project manager. you want it. it’s done. the ‘how’ isn’t your problem. the universe has already sorted the logistics.
start being delusional. your current reality is just a collection of past assumptions. want a new reality? adopt new assumptions. pretend you already have what you want. no, really. stop analysing. just be the version of you who has it. the world will catch up.
if you’re ‘waiting’ for your manifestation, you’re reinforcing that it isn’t here yet. and if you’re reinforcing lack, you’re just extending it. let go of ‘waiting.' live like it’s already yours. because it is.
the universe is not a vending machine you need to shake. detach. you don’t ‘make’ things happen. you request them, step back, and trust they’re coming. you ever seen a billionaire refresh their bank balance anxiously? no. they just know the money is there. treat your manifestations the same way.
you are already doing it. every single thing in your life right now, you manifested it. consciously or not. so you might as well start doing it on purpose.
┊
stop making shifting and manifesting your part-time job. you are the main character, yes, but not the tragic, struggling one. be the one who gets what they want simply because they decide to. the one who moves through realities with ease, who manifests without breaking a sweat. become the laziest, most effortless version of yourself. because that’s the one who wins without having to lift a finger.
through my most recent obsession (cough cough) the wnba I have realized my true calling is to be a wag I want to sit court-side at my wife’s games look pretty and support my woman while she spoils me rotten
my favorite genre of man is one that is head over heels obsessed with his love interest that he can barely be in her presence without screaming crying or throwing up
your desires come from the god within you. you don't know why you want that specific relationship, career, house, and life. you just do. the I AM in you wants to fulfill them. to be them.
if you're conditioning your desires, you're conditioning god. if you refuse to feel fulfillment because you don't feel worthy of it, you're taking the fulfillment from the god. you're telling the creator that it's not worthy of its creations.
the only way to please the god is to please yourself.
where was this fear of inducing pure consciousness rooted from?
from the idea that you probably can't induce pure consciousness, cuz you think you might do something wrong? from the idea that you may not be able to induce pure consciousness at all, cuz you aren't worthy of inducing pure consciousness? where was your fear of inducing pure consciousness rooted from?
a lot of us still hold on to the idea that pure consciousness is "an actual void we're entering". a place outside or somewhere literally inside of us. that we are leaving our bodies to enter a dark instant manifestation plane. the idea looks easy but sounds like it could be hard, and that there's something you could be missing. is that where your fear rooted from?
that following the exact routine someone else did might help them "enter the void". that inducing pure consciousness is scarier, becuz of the "symptoms" (which actually occurs because your brain is checking to know if you're asleep). is that where your fear rooted from?
being convinced for a long time that you must work (hard) to achieve your desires, which also meant that inducing pure consciousness and manifesting your dream life is also hard. so when it seems too easy to be true, something has to be wrong and you will fail. is that where your fear rooted from?
well i can assure you that the life you desire, is within molecule-distance.
this fear you have bottled up inside of you, was once inside of me too! so i completely understand how you're feeling 🩷 but what you must understand, is that you don't have to live life the hard way anymore. you know about the law and you know about pure consciousness, so you know more about your self. you know that pure consciousness is only another state of consciousness, and that it is easily induced when you forget about the 3d and you immerse yourself in your imagination (daydreaming, freeing yourself in your thoughts, affirming, having internal dialogues, singing songs or rapping in your head, etc.). everyone can induce pure consciousness. yes! even YOU reading this! inducing pure consciousness is as easy as inducing sleep (or even easier!).
don't stay in this mindset that life must be hard to get through as time goes by. you'll end up being the person that constantly thinks that everything in life must be hard.
but trust me. it doesn't have to be hard.
inducing pure consciousness isn't a new concept. your subconscious mind already knew about this state of consciousness, but it was time that your conscious mind knew too!
you were literally born with the ability to induce pure consciousness cuz you were born with the state. there's no reason to be fearful of failure. if you're fearful of failure, then you're still stuck in the "nothing is done with ease" mentality. a mentality stemmed from the 3d, and it needs to be bidden its farewells. there was nothing to be scared of in the first place until you thought of something to be scared of. whatever you thought of to be scared of was simply a false idea you instilled which caused fear. one of the ways to diminish this fear, is to know and understand the truth, and to get rid of those false ideas of pure consciousness. i know many of you still don't believe that you can induce pure consciousness today, tonight, and even within this very hour, but trust me. you can!
it seems to me that y'all are more fearful of an undesired outcome. but that simple "outcome" is staying in the awake state. or, fearful of being disappointed in yourself.
but the thing is, how will you know the simplicity of pure consciousness if you don't bother inducing it cuz of fear? even if you didn't induce it, note what you were doing, and note what pure consciousness is. if you were constantly stressing about time, note that. also note that pure consciousness is a no-time state. if you were constantly stressed about feeling your body, note that. also note that pure consciousness is a state of consciousness where you're not aware of your body. there's nothing wrong with learning and apply. but putting it off, cuz you don't want to disappoint yourself again will not help you in any way.
trust me when i tell you, for the how muchth time ion even know atp, pure consciousness is just like being awake, or being asleep. just like it. they're all the same concept, and you know you can't force yourself to become neither. just relax, close your eyes, and let your thoughts or daydreams wander without worrying about pure consciousness, then boom! you'll induce pure consciousness! and for those fearful of disappointment, just go for it without caring about any outcome! trust me, there's literally nothing to be scared about! with every learning attempt is a step closer to success! so keep going!
stick to the plan, not on your mood! 🩷💛
LMAO okay so i was trying the MABS (mind awake body asleep) method and my body was like dead but like i accidentally fell asleep and still woke up to a dead body. my shoulder hurts like a bitch too. n e ways imma do it again and not fall asleep this time
✎ STOP CALLING IT YOUR DREAM REALITY
why is it desired when it has already happened?
You need to realise that you are already in the reality you have chosen, you are in the reality that is desired. Stop viewing your new life as far-fetched and magical. Some of you think that with the crazy things in your script, it makes it harder to shift, than it would be to manifest something “small”. But let me tell you, you’re already there.
stop envying that girl’s body, you already have it, if not better
stop envying all the rich people’s vacations and hauls you see on socials, you live that life
stop envying the person with the pretty face, you have one too
stop getting jealous of a certain pop group, tv show cast or celebrity for getting to do the things that you want to do, you ARE doing all that you have ever wanted
stop envying the person your s/o has dating rumours with, they’re yours and always have been
because you’re a god.
stop getting jealous of the person with the perfect parents and rich family, your family was real the second you scripted them, you see them every day, no big deal
don’t you get it? the 3d isn’t real, what you’re seeing isn’t real if you don’t want it to be.
it’s not your dream reality, it’s your current reality, get comfortable and casual about it, it’s your everyday life, nothing special to you. stop scrambling for methods as if you aren’t in your reality already. stop treating your new life as a prize, it’s nothing special because you had it the second you thought about it. stop viewing your new life as some accomplishment to strive for, it’s your everyday experience, again nothing special.
as a god, every reality is your creation, why are you looking at your creations as the prize when the prize is you? why are you looking at your new life as something to work hard for, something to put effort in to have? why, why, why when it’s already yours?
you cant leave if you don’t acknowledge that this new life is already yours. You’ll always be in the state of desiring and never in the state of having if you don’t fix this mindset. It also puts more pressure on you when attempting to induce pure consciousness, you think everything is riding on inducing pure consciousness, you think your dream wont happen if you don’t do it. why do you think the weight of your new life relies on whether you’re able to induce pure conscious or whether you’re able to shift, when it’s already yours and you already live that life?
i’ll tell you why you think this way: it’s because you don’t see it as yours yet, you think it will only become yours when you have done all these things.
what you see: script + void/“I AM” state ➯ my dream life is finally mine
you see it as a process when it isn’t one, there is no process
what actually happens: i’ve created my dream life in my head ➯ i have it now, it’s not a dream anymore
it’s an immediate chain of events, not a process. so stop with the jealousy, being miserable and asking the same questions, it’s BEEN yours
as soon as you take that pressure away from the act of shifting, because you KNOW your new life belongs to you no matter what, it puts less stress on you, making inducing pure consciousness easier
that’s it that’s all, ITS ALREADY YOURS DONT SEE IT AS A PROCESS 🌌💋
