Guide To Become Your Best Version

guide to become your best version ✨

the first step, be clear about what your best version would look like. questions to ask yourself.

what would my best version look like?

what habits would i have?

what would my life be like?

what would be my morning and evening routine?

what thoughts would i have?

what would i focus on?

what thoughts and habits should i leave behind?

how would i like to feel?

and lastly…

what can i start doing to connect with this version of me?

you can also add your own questions if they resonate with you, the important thing about this exercise is that you connect a little bit more with that better version of yourself.

from my experience, it is important to focus and work on these three areas of our life at the same time so that none of these areas are out of balance and we can flow to that version more easily.

it is important because i have realized from my own experience and from other people who send me questions that they only focus on one area, in most cases, the habits, and forget others, then when something happens or we go through a bad moment we feel lost and it seems that everything is "wrong" but if we work on these areas at the same time and we nurture them day by day we will have more control of our emotions and thoughts, then we will not stagnate in "bad times". remember, we can always go through bad times but these always bring us a learning experience.

journaling

keep a daily record of our emotions, as well as our habits.

focus on what we do want rather than what we don't want

detect what our negative thought patterns are and change them for - more positive ones according to how we want to think and feel from now on.

affirm positively

work on those areas of our life that we need to improve or are damaged

✨ spiritual

develop your intuition

have faith in yourself and in the process of creation (god, universe, energy…)

doing energetic cleansing

connect with your spiritual side

this is what i believe brings us closer to becoming our best version, as i am always learning new things about the subject and evolving both personally and spiritually so i will continue to share this in future posts.

as always all questions related to the topic are welcome and if you have any doubts you can also ask.

Level Up Pyramid.

I will never stop yapping about how important it is to get your basics right. If your base routine is not solid, no matter what you add on to it, it will never be sustainable.

most of us get motivated in the middle of the night, build an elaborate routine that we’ll follow for less than 2 days and we’re back to square one.

I get so many asks about girls getting stressed over their routine and how they should solve the issue. If your routine is stressing you out, you need to cut. It. Down.

this is a pyramid that will teach you to get the basics down and in what order.

if your foundation is strong, your base routine will be an unshakeable of your life. if it is an unshakeable part of your life, you will slowly but surely get better at those things. as you get better at those things, your confidence will increase. as your confidence increases, you will be ready and motivated to take on more challenges.

How to maximise your organisation

Do you ever feel as if everything in your life is upside down? When your life isn't very organised it can feel quite overwhelming and hard to concentrate and do things. Here's some things you can do to organise!

use a planner and plan ahead

declutter your places like your room, drawers, purse, bags etc

organise your closet - get rid/donate clothes you don't wear anymore, fold clothes etc

declutter your phone - this can include your apps, photos, files, emails

create a routine and stick with it - routines can help you stay on track

create a tracker - from anything to habits to money

empty your bin

plan meals in advance

vacuum your floors

make your bed

write down anything you need to do

do your laundry

spend at least 10 mins a day cleaning your personal space

not mandatory but you can redecorate your room

Hey i just wanna ask since your blog is really helpful, can you give me some advice on how to stop being lazy or how to be more productive? This have been a problem since i was little and im telling you i wanna make it stop

HOW TO EXIT YOUR LAZY GIRL ERA

LAZINESS IS NOT AN ACTION, BUT A MINDSET. If you are truly committed, disciplined and motivated, you will have no problems achieving your goals and being productive. So, no negative self-talk & a limiting mindset only holds you back. 

EAT THE FROG OR CHICK 

Eating the frog refers to doing the hardest task on your to-do list first to get in your productivity flow and conquer your to-do list easily. 

Or, what I prefer, is eating the chick(s). Doing the small impact tasks first gives you enough confidence to do your harder tasks. Eat the one you prefer!

FIGURE OUT THE REAL ISSUE. Is this a task you hate? Then make it enjoyable for yourself. Afraid of failing? Expect yourself to fail. Is it overwhelming? Then only do a fraction of the task.  Find a solution. DON’T LIMIT YOURSELF TO TIME. Avoid timing yourself or giving yourself a time limit. Just do your tasks without worrying about time, even if you run out, you’ve still been productive.  SET YOUR ENVIRONMENT FOR SUCCESS. Lay out everything that you have to do, minimise common distractions and remove anything that makes you feel anything but productive. MAKE THE TRANSITION EASY, from non-productive to productive. Ensure that you have a customised ritual before being productive, have a particular time to start being productive and have a specific place where you are productive.  AVOID PERFECTION. It doesn’t matter if your tasks aren’t achieved at a high standard, but if you commit to just doing it, that consistency provides more growth and helps to do that same task again.  PLAN YOUR DAY, PROPERLY. Don’t be vague when planning. Outline what you need to do for each task, because when we know what we have to do, it seems more achievable and less out of reach.  BALANCE IS KEY. Taking breaks, eating healthy meals throughout and getting the blood flowing increases our productivity. Please, do not overexert yourself to be productive.

☆4-step Study Framework☆

~watched Justin Sung's video recently and my current takeaways,

Step 1: Aim high:

think what would ______ do? e.g (could be an individual or career) What would a/an "overachiever/scientist/Albert Einstein" do?

Step 2: Cram early:

Cram the foundation of the whole semester in maybe around the first 2 weeks to be able to understand its relevance during lecture times.

Step 3: Build prior knowledge:

build prior knowledge so that you can consolidate the info during the time everyone else is learning.

Step 4: Be strategic with your resources:

have self-regulated learning skills (look things up and use self-explanation and generation) where you don’t ask simple questions, rather test hypothesise or check synthesised ideas.

→“Try to develop the skills to figure out the basic stuff by yourself, use expertise where expertise is needed.”

Make sure: Never compromise the non-negotiables:

Use a ‘solutions’ mindset, and make do with the resources you have and try to figure it out and make an educated guess as to what will be taught (you can get 70% right and 30% from lectures)

If you are making excuses for; I cant study at home, my commute is too long, I procrastinate too much etc.→ “Are you wanting help? Or are you just wanting validation for why it’s hard for you?”

will start my 3 hour study session now :)

good luck everyone <;3
