Whenever You Feel Like You're Not Doing Enough, Remember All The Little Healthy Habits You've Successfully

whenever you feel like you're not doing enough, remember all the little healthy habits you've successfully incorporated into your routine and remember that good things happen little by little.

i have a question: why do you keep sabotaging yourself? why is it that as soon as you think something is just out of your reach you do everything you can to get in your own way? why is it that as soon as things seem to be going right, you plant your feet and sit on the ground with your legs crossed?

you're not fucking lucky. you worked for it, you sweated, and you cried, and you sacrificed so much to reach the level of knowledge and skill you have now.

have you worked so hard only to say "how lucky"? no, damn it, i won't let you. you may not be a genius, you may not be the best in the world, but do you fucking think anyone could do what you did? do you think anyone could get to where you are? do you believe that anyone has the possibilities that you have?

put this in your head, you are not unexpressed potential, you are exceptional and with your hard work you can achieve unimaginable things. stop wasting your dreams just because they seem too big for the drawer.

edit : in italian we say "dream in the drawer" when we refer to a hope that is unlikely to come true, but not impossible.

ex. my dream in the drawer is to become a famous singer all over the world

(just in case you didn't understand the last sentence)

you become very dangerous when you realise you can do it alone

hi angels,

i'm moving to spain in a couple of weeks for university, do you have any tips or advice for me? it's the first time i go abroad for a long period of time (one year) and also the first time i live without my family. i'd be lying if i said i'm not scared lol.

OKAY but why paperwork for students it's SO STRESSFUL? i'm literally a 19yo girl, no one tells me what to do and when i ask they treat me so bad like i'm stupid? i mean– sorry if i don't know what these damn acronyms means. can someone please make this easier or at least give me some damn instructions ??

Do you have any tips to focus for a longer period of time?

i'm definitely not the best person to ask for advice on how to lock in and focus on studying (i'm a serial procrastinator), but i have some tips to share too.

always make sure you have met your needs: slept enough, eaten enough and are hydrated. concentrating when you are not in good shape is almost impossible.

change the scenario: in desperate moments i go to the library because i get distracted much less there than in my room. if you don't have the opportunity to go somewhere else, try to remove all possible distractions. remove everything you don't need from your desk, throw away your phone, disable notifications, silence/delete all non-study-related apps.

approach the subject as a global conversation, rather than by individual topics. make connections, associations, draw maps that help you visualize what you are doing. making studying interactive and dynamic keeps attention span higher.

find a method that allows you to absorb the greatest amount of information in the shortest time possible. for me, for example, it's listening: from podcasts to videos on yt, listening and repeating are the ways i learn fastest.

don't stress. if you see that it's not your day, forget it, you'll only end up frustrated and in burnout. as an alternative, try doing some sport, a walk, something that moves your body, absolutely NOT social media. you will end up even more guilty and tired than before.

hope this was helpful 💓
