Believe In Yourself - Tumblr Posts

💝🔒💌

Even now, as broken as you may feel, you are still so strong. There is something to be said for how you hold yourself together and keep moving, even though you feel like shattering. Don't stop. This is your healing. It doesn't have to be pretty or graceful. You just have to keep going.

I GOTTA BELIEVE!

Believe in the magic of you.

Before you love yourself you really gotta accept that you are you and it can’t be helped. This is what you are, and it’s up to you on how you’re gonna live by it. Nobody can make you love yourself. I think that’s what makes it so hard, because even if you have everything in the world, if you don’t love yourself it’s just meaningless.

All I can say is have faith and believe in yourself. You’ve made it this far. That’s pretty neat isn’t it? Remember that you are worthy of love and being loved. Remember that you are you, and that’s a pretty neat thing to be.

It's easy for people to go around saying things like " love yourself " , it's actually really hard to accept yourself, the small things that make you you , the things in yourself you notice that very few other people do, the things you absolutely hate about yourself. It's not easy to " love yourself " .

Step one to anything is believing in yourself

fighting for my life to describe an environment for the whirpool snippet and realizing i will have to do this in the main fic too . a

Today was a mix again, but I'd say it was mostly wholesome than bad. I woke up with anxiety as per usual, my stomach was hurting and I just burst into tears, because yesterday night I decided I wanted to go to my uni classes again and felt like in these conditions, I couldn't. My aunt tried to calm me, told me to take my meds and advised me to pray to God and believe he will be with me during the whole day (confession; I've been on and off with religion for years and been ashamed to pray to God after my diganosis, but I've been doing it for weeks now, trying to reconnect to him and to my faith and I can feel the providence every day, I believe there has to be someone listening to me out there). With that faith, and the faith in myself (and the meds, obviously), I managed to go to class. I talked to my professor, told him about my struggles and he was very understanding. Fortunately, I didn't feel the need to go out and could stay in the classroom during the whole lecture (I had one panic coming on though, felt it in my chest vividly, but I decided not to panic and face it, and it quickly went away - it felt like such a winning moment.) The rest of the day was okay too - I succeeded in coming back to my dorm room without panicking on the metro and the tram, I am almost finished with my MA thesis and I still have time to read through the seminar papers for tomorrow's lessons, because yes, I intend to go to uni tomorrow too. Fingers crossed I will succeed!

Friendly reminder: faith is important. It doesn't matter who or what you belive in, as long as you believe in something. Most importantly: believe and have faith in yourself. It's hard, I know it is, but you are stronger than you think!

Believe. Believe. Believe. You are perfectly capable.

- Reni

GROWTH MINDSET VS FIXED MINDSET

The Growth Mindset term was coined by American psychologist Carol Dweck . It is the belief that talent, intelligence and abilities can be cultivated through efforts whereas the Fixed mindset is the total opposite of Growth Mindset. Fixed Mindset is the belief that talent, intelligence and abilities are Fixed and cannot be changed.

A person with Growth Mindset sees efforts as a good thing and an opportunity to improve themselves whereas a person with a Fixed mindset will see hardwork as a bad thing . For example: Let's say Aria is bad at maths , she feels that math isn't her forte so she doesn't even try. She feels that she isn't intelligent enough. She believes that intelligence and math skills are Fixed. Aria has a Fixed mindset. Her mindset limits her. She will never improve or get good grades in maths with that mindset. Now let's say there is another girl Ariel , she believes that she can improve her maths by practice. She believes that if she needs to put effort to improve her math skills , it's not a bad thing and it doesn't mean that she is " dumb " . Ariel has a growth mindset. Growth Mindset is essential for success in any kind of field.

A person with Growth Mindset solve problems & persist despite obstacles. Neuroscientists believe Growth Mindset. They confirm that the brain grows like any other muscle in the body with training . A person with Growth Mindset believes we are in control of our abilities whereas a person with fixed Mindset believes that we aren't in control of our abilities. A person with Growth Mindset are focused on the process of getting better . They appreciate feedback and constructive criticism and use it to improve themselves whereas a person with fixed Mindset don't appreciate constructive criticism , they get defensive and take it personally.

Where is?

Ja chegou a se perguntar se você existe?

Sobre ser real

Sua existência tem algum sentido? O  você quer? no que persiste?

Eu quero ver o que você quer ser

Qual será sua contribuição e o que vai se tornar

Agora eu não vejo, mas gostaria muito de saber

Pra mim poder ter algo para poder agarrar e confiar

Alguém me ensina a ter noção de mim

Consciência perdida

Aonde está o mapa do tesouro que sempre dizem estar no fim?!

Me ajude, só uma ajuda.

- Thiago A. S. Crepaldi

You're blog is disgusting! Why are you defending inbred colonizers! They ruined the lives of millions! Stop wasting your talent making fanarts of these people!

Honestly, I am tired! I am tired of some people telling me my art and dreams waste time. I am tired of receiving hate comments like this. I am tired of ableists trying to dehumanize those who are disabled. I am tired of people bullying Charles II and Mariana of Austria, whose efforts are barely recognized. I made this blog to share stories of them that are rarely covered in media. I wanted to share the truth behind these historical figures.

A guide to becoming an artist

here’s to all beginner artists, a few tips I’ve come to collect over the years in my experience:

1. don’t compare yourself to others. just... don’t do it. Stahp. Get a drink, get off those thoughts.

2. if you wanna draw, draw. Easier said than done, but keep in mind: Michelangelo didn’t get so good by picking his nose.

3. It’s not about talent. Art, ironically, is a little like Math. If you have more of a knack for it, good for you! But that doesn’t mean you can’t catch up to those brainiacs by practising! AU CONTRAIRE, Practise is key

4. GOOGLE PICTURES IS YOUR FRIEND: got questions about anatomy? don’t know where that muscle should go? Ask google pictures. Also, when you’re in artblock, but you still wanna improve, go copy a few pictures, pic the thing you wanna focus on, (Arms, face, eyes, animals, etc) and just doodle.

5. VERY IMPORTANT FOR DOODLIN!!!!!! Dunnae give a fUcK!!!! seriously. fuck it. scribble. dribble. doodle the sHiT out of that wolf/hamster/wing/eye whatever. it’s a doodle, not the mona lisa. (For publishing purposes, the messier the sketch the better, because the audience will think these things come easy to you, hence you didn’t have to press it out like a shit on a bad intestine day; also try practising to guide your pen lightly grazing the paper, it will add to the effect)

6. You’re NOT expected to know every detail by heart, every proportion!!!  you need helping lines?? Go do them helping lines!!! Gradually, the more and more you practise, you will see, the helping lines will be in your head and you’ll be tracing them on paper.

7. TIME IS YOUR FRIEND! Something’s off with your drawing? Get up and walk around the room, get a drink, go massage your hamster, play chess with your dog, take a bReAK!! Chill dude, your drawing won’t run away. Maybe let it lie for a day? A new perspective can help you loads.

8. Redraw the shit out of terrible drawings from when you were younger! it’s a motivation to see how much you’ve improved

9. Instagram is a TREASURE CHEST for artists, go get some inspirations!! (for practise, go copy some works, but CREDITTTTTTTTT IF YOU POST IT!!!!!!!!)

10. It’s not a competition, your art is dope dude, and if you’re not happy with it, that’s okay, perfectionism is in all of us, but remember from time to time to look back and check what you’ve achieved, you’re amazing! Don’t take shit from anyone, criticism comes in many ways, don’t let others jealousy hidden in mean/disrespectful/know-it-all smartass comments hinder you from pursuing what you want to do

The Power of "Dear Universe" Letters

August 13, 2023

Have you heard about the incredible power of writing a "Dear Universe" letter? In recent years, this practice has gained popularity as a powerful tool for manifesting your desires and expressing gratitude. By addressing the universe directly in a heartfelt letter, you create an intimate connection with the cosmic forces that surround us. Whether you seek to ask for what you want or express appreciation for what you already have, these letters can be transformative. Today, we will explore how to write effective "Dear Universe" letters to manifest your dreams and show gratitude.

1. Set the intention:

Before starting your letter, take a moment to set your intentions clearly. Reflect on what it is that you desire or wish to express gratitude for. Be specific and genuine in your intentions, as they form the foundation of your letter's energy.

2. Begin with thanks:

Expressing gratitude is an essential part of writing a "Dear Universe" letter. Start by thanking the universe for everything you are grateful for at present – loved ones, health, accomplishments, experiences, etc. This sets an appreciative tone and aligns your energy with positivity.

3. Create a clear vision:

To ask for what you want effectively, visualize it vividly within your mind's eye while writing your letter. Imagine every detail – from how it looks and feels to how it impacts your life positively. Clearly articulate your desires without limitations or doubts; let the universe know precisely what you envision.

4. Express emotions authentically:

When crafting your letter, allow yourself to dive into raw emotions associated with both receiving what you desire and expressing gratitude genuinely. Pour out any fears or doubts that may arise but transform them into positive affirmations by focusing on trust and unwavering belief in the universe's abundance.

5. Use affirmative language:

Ensure that all aspects of your letter are written in the present tense, as if you have already received what you desire. This way, you align your energy and intentions with that of the universe, signaling readiness to receive and manifest your desires.

6. Show trust and surrender:

Once you have expressed your desires and gratitude, remind yourself that you have entrusted the universe with fulfilling them. Express faith in its divine timing and wisdom while acknowledging that you are open to receiving blessings in unexpected ways.

7. Seal it with love:

Conclude your "Dear Universe" letter by reaffirming your appreciation for the opportunity to co-create with the cosmos. Sign off with a heartfelt expression of love, sealing the connection between yourself and the universe.

8. Release attachment:

After writing your letter, let go of any attachment to outcomes or expectations. Trust that whatever unfolds is for your highest good. Detaching from specific results allows space for miracles and opportunities beyond what you could have imagined.

Writing "Dear Universe" letters can be a powerful practice to manifest our deepest desires and cultivate gratitude for all we've been given. By setting clear intentions, expressing genuine emotions, and releasing attachment, we create an energetic alignment with the universe's abundant forces. So why not take pen to paper today? Pour out your dreams and appreciation in a heartfelt letter addressed to the universe – knowing that when we ask for what we want and express thanks sincerely, incredible transformations can occur within our lives.

Be Bold Enough to Dream and Brave Enough to Try

Dreams have the power to ignite our passions, inspire us, and push us beyond our limits. They are the seeds of possibilities that whisper in our hearts, urging us to chase after what truly excites us. However, dreaming alone is not enough; it must be accompanied by courage and action. In this blog post, we delve into the importance of being bold enough to dream big and brave enough to embark on the journey towards turning those dreams into reality.

1. Embrace Your Inner Visionary: Every great achievement starts with a dream. Whether it's starting a business, writing a book, or pursuing an adventurous life abroad, allowing yourself to envision your desires is crucial. Take time to explore your aspirations without constraints or doubts - let your imagination soar! Allow your dreams to guide you towards what brings you joy and fulfillment.

2. Overcome Fear and Self-Doubt: While dreaming is liberating, fear and self-doubt can often creep in like shadows threatening to extinguish our hopes. Recognize that these emotions are normal but refusing to let them control your actions is what sets apart those who achieve their dreams from those who don't. Believe in yourself even when faced with uncertainty and take small steps each day towards making your dreams come true.

3. Set Clear Goals and Make Plans: Once you've identified your dreams, it's essential to set clear goals that will lead you closer to their realization. Break down your aspirations into achievable milestones and create a roadmap outlining the necessary steps along the way. By having specific targets in mind, you'll feel more motivated and focused on taking action rather than getting overwhelmed by the enormity of your dreams.

4. Cultivate Resilience: The path towards our dreams is rarely smooth sailing; bumps and obstacles are bound to appear along the way. It is during these challenging times that our courage and resilience are put to the test. Embrace failures, setbacks, and disappointments as valuable lessons, rather than reasons to give up. Remember that successful people have faced their fair share of hurdles but persevered because they believed in their dreams.

5. Surround Yourself with Supportive Individuals: Having a support system can make all the difference when it comes to pursuing your dreams. Surround yourself with individuals who believe in you, inspire you, and offer constructive feedback. Seek out mentors who have already achieved what you aspire to accomplish and learn from their experiences. Their guidance will provide invaluable insights and encouragement during both smooth and turbulent times.

Daring to dream big is the first step towards an extraordinary life, but it's equally important to be brave enough to take action and turn those dreams into reality. By embracing your inner visionary, overcoming fear, setting clear goals, cultivating resilience, and surrounding yourself with supportive individuals, you'll be well-equipped to embark on this transformative journey.

Remember that the road may not always be easy or straightforward; there will be detours along the way. However, staying committed to your dreams while remaining bold and brave will empower you to persevere through any challenges that arise. So go forth fearlessly; let your dreams guide you towards living a life full of purpose, fulfillment, and endless possibilities!

One Step at a Time: You'll Get There

November 24, 2023

Life is a journey filled with ups and downs, successes and failures. Sometimes, it can feel overwhelming when we look at the big picture or set ambitious goals for ourselves. However, it's important to remember that progress is made one step at a time. Each small step forward brings us closer to our destination, allowing us to achieve what may have seemed impossible initially. In this blog post, we will explore the power of taking things one step at a time and how it helps us reach our goals.

Breaking down your goal: One of the most effective strategies for achieving any goal is breaking it down into smaller, manageable steps. By doing so, you create a clear roadmap that allows you to focus on each task individually rather than feeling overwhelmed by the whole project. Whether you're aiming for personal growth, career advancement, or learning a new skill, dividing your objective into smaller milestones enables you to make steady progress in an organized manner.

Building momentum: When we take small steps consistently towards our goal, we build momentum over time. Each completed task acts as fuel for motivation and propels us further along our journey. As the snowball effect takes hold, accomplishing one step encourages us to tackle the next with increased confidence and determination. Momentum becomes a powerful force that propels us forward even during challenging times.

Celebrating achievements: Celebrating even the smallest victories along the way is crucial for maintaining motivation and enthusiasm throughout our journey. Recognize and reward yourself whenever you complete a step or milestone – this could be treating yourself to something special or simply acknowledging your accomplishment internally. These moments of celebration become significant reminders of how far you've come and reinforce your belief in your ability to reach the ultimate goal.

Embracing patience: Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither are most worthwhile achievements! It's essential to remember that progress takes time. Patience is the key to remaining committed and resilient when faced with setbacks or slow progress. By focusing on one step at a time, you can avoid becoming overwhelmed by how far you still have to go and instead concentrate on the present moment.

Learning from setbacks: Setbacks are an inevitable part of any journey, but they do not define us unless we let them. When obstacles arise, view them as opportunities for growth and learning rather than reasons to give up. Analyze what went wrong, make necessary adjustments, and then continue moving forward. Remember that even in failure, there are valuable lessons that will ultimately contribute to your success.

The path towards achieving our goals may be long and challenging, but taking it one step at a time allows us to stay focused, motivated, and confident throughout the process. Embrace each small victory along the way, learn from setbacks, and trust in the power of consistent effort. Remember that success is not achieved overnight but through perseverance and a commitment to progress. So keep taking those steps forward – you'll get there!

Never Stop Working Towards Your Dream Life - It'll Be Worth It!

Life is a journey full of ups and downs, twists and turns, but one thing remains constant: our dreams. Each one of us has unique aspirations and desires that push us to strive for something more in life. While the path towards achieving our dream life may be challenging, it's crucial never to give up. In this blog post, we will explore the importance of continuously working towards your dream life and why the journey will ultimately be worth every effort.

1. Dreams Fuel Our Passions: Our dreams are intricately connected to our passions - those deep-seated interests that ignite our souls. When we have a clear vision of what we want, it helps us channel our energy into activities that align with our goals. By consistently working towards our dreams, we fuel our passions and create an inner motivation that drives us forward.

2. Overcoming Obstacles Strengthens Character: The pursuit of any dream is bound to encounter obstacles along the way; setbacks are inevitable. However, instead of seeing them as roadblocks or reasons to quit, consider them as opportunities for growth. Facing challenges head-on develops resilience, determination, and problem-solving skills necessary for success. Each hurdle you overcome brings you closer to your dream life.

3. Learn from Failure to Achieve Success: Failures are often stepping stones towards success if we approach them with the right mindset. Every setback offers valuable lessons that can refine your strategy and bring you closer to realizing your dreams. Embrace failures as learning experiences rather than defeats. Remember that successful people have failed countless times before reaching their desired outcomes.

4. Progress Comes from Consistent Effort: Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither is your dream life! Consistency is key when striving towards a goal. Small steps taken each day compound over time, leading to significant progress in the long run. It's essential to establish habits that align with your dreams and dedicate consistent effort towards them. Even if progress seems slow, have faith in the process knowing that each step forward counts.

5. Discovering New Horizons: The journey towards your dream life is not solely about reaching a specific destination; it's also about personal growth and self-discovery. As you work tirelessly towards your goals, you may uncover new passions, talents, or interests along the way. These discoveries can reshape your path, leading you to an even more fulfilling dream life than you initially imagined.

Never stop working towards your dream life because it will be worth every ounce of effort you put into it. Remember that dreams fuel our passions, obstacles shape our character, failures teach us valuable lessons, consistency leads to progress, and the journey itself unveils exciting new horizons. Embrace the challenges that come your way and persistently pursue your dreams because the reward at the end will make it all worthwhile. So keep pushing forward - your dream life awaits!
