Great Advice And Something I Will Be Doing Before The End Of The Year.

Great advice and something I will be doing before the end of the year.

these are the habits you have to give up before the year is out:

worrying about people and things you can’t control

negative conversations with others

obsessing about what others think

lying for others

expect others to do what you want them to do and get angry if they don't do it

creating expectations on others

gossiping

making excuses for not taking care of your responsibilities

lying to yourself

putting your needs lasts

giving priority to other people's opinions rather than your own

letting the negative opinions of others affect you

limiting yourself

comparing themselves to others and putting them on a pedestal

giving prominence to people who do not deserve it

set boundaries with others but not with yourself

spending too much time on social media

habits you need to implement:

create a daily routine that you feel comfortable with and suits you

calming your mind a few times a day

positive affirmations and healthy thoughts

complimenting others and congratulating their success

letting go of things you can’t control

ending toxic relationships

more time outside

making yourself and your health a priority

self compassion and self forgiveness

taking responsibilities

more self care

beginning with a motivation each day

do what you need for yourself

starting something new (activity, hobby, habit)

not to depend on others and to learn to do things you want to do on your own

focus on the good things and not on the things you don't like

exercise and eat healthy for the sake of your body and not to fit into a beauty canon

getting out of your comfort zone

focus on building healthy relationships rather than being guided by false expectations of how relationships should be

be true to yourself and your values

not to sell or denigrate you for money or lavish gifts

Try not to laugh....

"The erotic has often been misnamed by men and used against women. It has been made into the confused, the trivial, the psychotic, the plasticized sensation. For this reason, we have often turned away from the exploration and consideration of the erotic as a source of power and information, confusing it with its opposite, the pornographic. But pornography is a direct denial of the power of the erotic, for it represents the suppression of true feeling. Pornography emphasizes sensation without feeling. The erotic is a measure between the beginnings of our sense of self and the chaos of our strongest feelings. It is an internal sense of satisfaction to which, once we have experienced it, we know we can aspire."

-Audre Lorde, Uses of the Erotic: The Erotic as Power

It is thigh Thursday right?

It’s time to get clear about what you want. It’s time to get clear about what you need. It’s time to get clear about what you value. It’s time to get clear about what you deserve.

Such a beautiful expression of what makes women truly beautiful. Thank you. 💕

You are a divine work of art. So many of us doubt it, but you are. Attractiveness is a complete package... not a body type, a hair color, or an age range. It is your uniqueness, your thoughts, the love in your heart, the curiosity of your mind, the effort you give to all the little things you manage every day, the gleam in your eyes, your smile, your laugh, the way you speak, the sound of your voice, the words you choose, your cadence; the way you carry yourself, the way you lose yourself in the music when you dance, the things you notice, the things you remember, the way others feel in your company, the way you treat strangers, the people who show up for you, animals, and children; the energy you exude, your essence, what you fight for, what you choose to let go of, and the way you give yourself away.... You do not need to feed the billion-dollar parasitic health and beauty industries that tell you what you need to be beautiful. No, you do not need those damaging and obviously-fake eyelashes and nail-tips, those pricey highlights, injections, perfectly drawn eyeliner, designer clothes, implants, and you do not need to wear that corset... although I agree it's lovely... you need to know that you do need it.
