i hope all is well for everyone. i just wanted to update how my life has been going so far. <3

.*✲ﾟ｡⋆ 

recently i've come to quite a few realisations and conclusions of what i need to do for myself going forward with this new year. something happened a few days ago, which already put me in a bad mood this year. i always have these january identity crises, but i always am prepared and i know that this will help me set up the rest of my year. most specifically during the spring and summer, which is when i am most productive and happy! so as winter continues, i will continue to take it slow as i have been doing for the past month. 

.*✲ﾟ｡⋆ 

honestly winter has been such a drag, and it's only january. i'm a person that values productivity in my life; where as much as possible i would make sure that what i am doing is progressing my life in an impactful way. i don't like to waste time in that sense, since i'm already developing and my motivation still drives me. however, during the winter i was not that much productive. a lot of days spent lying in, eating more delicious food - for growth and warmth ;) , and instead spending more time journaling, writing and reading. which in of itself, i've come to realise is me being productive. learning more about my crystals, how to cleanse and charge them. calling and texting my friends. i've not done nothing, i've done quite a lot!

although, in the winter, it is quite natural to slow down pace. a lot of things are happening all around us during winter, even though everything looks like it's frozen still in time. changes are always happening, and every waking moment you live is totally valid. even if there isn't a lot of movement in your life atm. if your life seems to lack much pizzazz during the winter, think about this season as your filler episodes! most shows take place during good weather, when the sun is out and everyone is spending a lot more time socialising than they do now. and what do shows do during the winter? holiday specials, and filler episodes! that mentality has really helped me get through the cold months.

especially thinking of myself as the main character.

i have two more things i wanted to note.

.*✲ﾟ｡⋆ 

 i did get tarot cards on christmas! so excited to use them!! i have plans to bless the deck with my best friend (since we have the same one unintentionally). i got these crazy beautiful chakra and crystal candles. i'll probably write about them some day, once i give them a shot. in the meantime, i got these mantra cards from primark and have been doing little readings for myself as a fun prep technique! upon talking to my guardian angel, i asked them to show me what i need to overcome this month. and just like i had planned for my new years resolutions, i will do those things. such as better habits, protecting your energy, affirming daily and working on inner strength and self beliefs. to whomever resonates with this sentiment, take it! do the thing! 

.*✲ﾟ｡⋆ 

and as a last point of notice for now, i have become an absolute addict of social media. which i did not like for myself. scrolling endlessly through tik tok, instagram, snapchat. not even realising why i was scrolling through those apps, losing focus and concentration. consuming way too much for myself to handle. so, for self discipline, i gave myself timers for each of those apps. alongside, mostly having my phone on limited apps allowing me to focus on my new years resolutions. for example, reading more, watching and reviewing movies, and listening to new music! it's been a couple days of this and i'm really proud of myself for it. and atleast i can focus on what my friends send me anyways, since i do have a friend who loves to share her fyp with me.

.*✲ﾟ｡⋆ 

i've really been happy with the great introspective mindset i've had this new year. even when struggling with some form of seasonal dumps. i hope everyone else is well, and i will do my best to keep myself creative and posting on this great space. 

if my blog has stuck with you, feel free to friend me or pop me a message.
