The "goal" of this challenge is to start with holding yourself accounteble and to build healthy habits.

2. Setting up reasonable time blocks for these goals. Revamp your schedule to fit your goals around your life. Morning: 6.10/ 7.00 am - Wake up and drink a glass of water. 6.15/ 7.05 am - Meditate and stretch. 6.30/ 7.20 am - Journal and make a to do list. 6.40/ 7.30 am - Make my bed. 6.45/ 7.35 am - Put on my clothes on. 6.50/ 7.40 am - Brush my teeth and skincare. 7.00 / 7.50 am - Eat breakfast 7.30/ 8.20 am - Go to school This is the morning routine I will be doing on school days and sundays. Waking up at the same time very day isn't something that helps me accieve my greatest good. So, i would rather sleep for an extra 50 minutes when it's possible. On saturdays i will wake up at 4.45 am (for work) and i won't meditate, journal or make my bed. I will make my bed and journal when I get back from work (1 pm).
Night: 8:30 pm - Clean my room 8:40 pm - Put together a cute outfit for tomorrow. 8:50 pm - Pack my bag for tomorrow. 8:55 pm - Journal. 9:05 pm - Cleaning myself up. (Skincare Toothbrushing, ect.) 9:20 pm - Do some yoga. 9:40 pm - put my pajama's on. 9:45 pm - Read, if I feel like it.
Study routine: 1. Clean up my study space. 2. Grab a drink. 3. Make a plan. 4. Study. This is what i will do to motivate myself to start with studying. On Ater i get back from school on Monday to Friday, I will do this and study for about 3 hours, after eating a healthy snack and drinking some water, while writing my thoughts down. On Saturday and Sunday I will follow this when I plan to study.
In the Weekend I will get bigger tasks done and focus on my hobbies and selfcare. Saturdaynight will be a selfcare night, where I go on a walk, put on a face mask, take a bath (I love them), paint my nails, reflect on my past week and do an extra long yoga session (and maybe a studio ghibili movie night ๐).
While I make a studyplan and make sure I am up to date on schoolwork on Sundaynight.
3. Setting up a system so you can actually stick to those goals. I will journal daily, and reflect on my day and smaller tasks. I will write weekly updates, where I will refect on my goals and set up new ones for the week. You can view my updates when you click on the following links:
๐ท Week 1 ๐ธ Week 2 ๐ท Week 3 ๐ธ Week 4 ๐ท Week 5 ๐ธ Week 6 ๐ท Week 7 ๐ธ Week 8 ๐ท Week 9 ๐ธ Week 10 ๐ท Week 11 ๐ธ Week 12 ๐ท Week 12 ๐ธ Week 13 ๐ท Week 14 ๐ธ Week 15

Although I am (extremely) new to the self improvement community on tumblr. I have seen the #๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ challenge from @dreamdolldiary come by a few times among self improvement creators. Because of my curiosity, I have finally read the challenge and I immediately knew that this was the ideal challenge for me to start my self improvement journey! The "goal" of this challenge is to start with holding yourself accountable and to build healthy habits.
โ The main focus of next week will be on my studies and personal things. Since i'm on my schoolbreak i have all the time to be working on them.
โก Studies I plan out all the work i am supposed to do. I do schoolwork daily. I keep up with all the tests & assignments. I am productive in school.

Other plans: โ I start following my morning & night routines. โ I read when I'm bored. โ I follow my weekly work out-plan. โ I plan out my winter wardrobe (+budget).
โ I tend to forget my goals very easily throughout my week. To prevent that from happening again, I will write my goals down on paper and put them next to my toothbrush. So that I read them while brushing my teeth.
โ I did everything I wrote down by other plans, except planning out my wardrobe. So I will have to do that again.
โ I did study a lot the past week, the only problem was. That my study sessions were not very productive, because I kept getting distracted. To prevent this from happening again, I will meditate when i get too distracted and I will try to create a better study space.
โ I haven' t started with crochet, knitting & sewing again. But I did make a few designs. So now I do have the motivation to do it!
โ This week I will focus on my physical, mental, emotional and habit goals. Most of these goals I have already payed some attention too. But I'm having a very stressful week and i could really use some extra motivations to follow these basics:

#๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ - Week 2
Although I am (extremely) new to the self improvement community on tumblr. I have seen the #๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ challenge from @dreamdolldiary come by a few times amoung self improvement creators. Because of my curiosity, I have finally read the challenge and I immediately knew that this was the ideal challenge for me to start my self improvement journey! The "goal" of this challenge is to start with holding yourself accounteble and to build healthy habits.
โ The main focus for week 2 will be my physica, mental and emotional gaols:
โก Physical I follow my weekly work out-plan. I eat healthy. I use my skincare consistantly. I go to bed before 10 pm.
โก Mental I make time for self love. I plan out my day and follow my plan. I journal daily.
โก Emotional I do the things that bring me happiness and fulfillment. I write the things that bother me down. I allow myself to feel my emotions fully.

โ I want to go on a nature walk upcomming week. โ I plan out all the work i am supposed to do. โ I am productive in school. โ I start following my morning & night routines. โ I read when I'm bored.
This week went pretty well! I only have a few thing that I would like to provide some commentary on:
โ I skipped a lot of workouts, beceuse I didn't have the motivation to do them. โ I didn't read enough. When I'm bored or overwhelmed, I really like to read, but I didn't make time for that. I got distracted by my phone a lot. โ I didn't follow my morning routine most days. This happend because I refused to come out of my bed in the morning. โ My biggest problem this week was my phone. This is not necessarily related to a goal, but it was a very big bother throughout my week. I constantly got distracted and it had a big effect on my productivity.
โ The main focus of next week will be on my studies and personal things. Since i'm on my schoolbreak i have all the time to be working on them.

Wednesday 10/7/24: Today one of my best friends came to sleep over, we are talking about Tumblr as I'm typing this. We planned al sorts of activities that I like today, so this was mostly a day focused on wellness! ๐๐ธ
Studies: I've done nothing for my studies today., since i had no time. I will spend extra time on my language study to make up for it! ๐ช๐
Small tasks: Today I send some messages i've been procrasinating (one of my biggest problems), i've cleaned my room, did my morning routine and cleaned out my trash! Very proud of myself.
Exercise: Today I went on a walk, cycled for an hour and swam for 2 hours.
Mental wellness: Today me and my friends swam in a lake, it was so beautiful there and it always calms me down. I truly felt like a naiad (water nymph)! ๐ We also went into the sauna and are going to put on some face masks! ๐ญ
3 things I liked about today: Hanging out with my beautiful friends, the feeling of swimming in the lake that was like I was one with nature and all my worries were gone, the snacks we baked.
My goal for this week: fixing my procrastination.
Even though I know it's not fixable in a week I think, I am able to grow healthy routines and habits in a week that will be the support I need to stop!
Thank you sososos much for the tip lovely ๐๐๐
How do I stop procrastinating getting my life together. I'm not sure if you understand what I mean....as in how do I stop procrastinating getting out of my comfor zone to do better
Procrastination is delaying a task because of fear or anxiety about doing it. If you frequently procrastinate, it may result from your current mindset. In this post, I will discuss the reasons behind procrastination and how to overcome it by getting started.
AVOIDANCE MINDSET
If youโve been in their comfort zone for quite a long time, you may be familiar with this term. An avoidance mindset is when we focus more on preventing possible negative consequences, rather than pursuing positive outcomes. This leads to procrastination, avoiding risks or challenges and generally staying in their comfort zones to avoid discomfort and failure.
This mindset usually stems from a fear that is holding you back which is keeping you โsafeโ, which is why we feel discomfort when trying new things. Fear of failure, wasting time, rejection and change are a few common ones.
Doing self-reflection or quizzes are the most efficient way to identify your fears if you havenโt already. Challenge negative beliefs that cause that fear to grow.ย
The recommended way to shift your mindset from an avoidance one to a growth mindset is by focusing on the benefits that youโll get from it. E.g.
โExercising is too hardโ -> โIโll feel good about myself afterโ
โStudying is boringโ -> โIโll be proud of myself after achieving high gradesโ
โMeeting new people is scaryโ -> โI canโt wait to have a new friendโ
BREAK TASKS INTO SMALLER CHUNKS, and if it seems too difficult, do it over a week/fortnight. When tasks are smaller, they seem simpler and easier, so we donโt feel the need to delay them. For example...
Deep clean my room -> Wipe down all surfaces & put new bedding OR Monday Iโll wipe down surfaces, then Wednesday Iโll put new bedding.ย
ย MAKE THE TASK SPECIFIC. If the task is vague, it can seem too daunting to start because we have no idea how to start. For example, instead of saying studying for my science test, say do 3 rounds of science flashcards. We know exactly what to do, so it doesnโt give reason for us to delay it.
HAVE A ROUTINE. Having a consistent daily routine helps us to stay on track because our brains love routines and familiar activities, and it pushes us further because our brains will feel discomfort if that routine is not done.ย
However, if you are someone who procrastinates, avoid micromanaging your day. It can seem way too overwhelming, but even if you do it, it can lead to being burnt out.ย
KEEP ORGANISED. Being in an environment which is constantly cluttered, or having no way to remember everything that goes in your life, will make you have a cluttered mind, A cluttered mind will influence your actions to also be out of place.
DEVELOP A GROWTH MINDSET. I do have a post on this which is linked on my masterlist. The whole idea of a growth mindset is to embrace the idea that failure further improves us, instead of setting us back.
This was exactly what i needed today! โจ
I often forget all the progress I made when I feel down and that makes it so hard to get up again.

I will try out the lemon water and the cold room. I've been in a slump lately, being well rested is the first step to getting back on path! <33
so in my previous post i talked about WHY its important to get a sufficient amount of sleep and how sleep impacts ur life but in this post i'll go into detail about how i sleep like an angel.
drink lemon water/water immediately before bed ; so i drink as much water as humanely possible before bed, i honestly dont know what this does scientifically but when i wake up after drinking lemon water or reg water my skin GLOWS. try it out and see how u like it~
cute pajamas ; this is just a personal take but when i have cute pajamas im actually EXCITED about going to sleep. instead of wearing something mixed and matched and calling it a night, it just feels so girly and proper to go to bed in matching pjs.
making my room cold ; so the ideal temperature to go to sleep in is 67 degrees if i remember correctly, so if ur room has its own thermostat and u can control the temperature in ur own room set it to something a bit colder, but if not just turn on the fan at a medium/low speed. its rly hard to sleep in a boiling hot room and we dont wanna be sweating all night, i just find that the crisper my area is the better i'll sleep.
fall asleep without ur phone in ur face ; if ur someone who is losing sleep because of scrolling on social media late at night, ask a trusted family member/friend to confiscate ur phone. if thats not preferable to u then put a time limit on ur phone bcuz losing sleep over a phone is never worth it love.
get into the right state ; so before bed, i like to be in the state of the wish fulfilled. or before bed i'll be doing SATS. SATS will literally put u to sleep so effectively, but the point of this bullet point is to understand that the state in which u go to sleep matters. it matters bcuz when ur sleeping ur subconscious is so easy to impress. this is why i fall asleep to subliminals, but dont ever go to bed in a bad mood or in a mood that doesn't align with ur desires.
At the moment I mainly do a lot of yoga. But recently I have been getting into running. I have a running watch that tracks my workrots and makes a plan for the upcomming week. This is going to be my first week of calistenics! For the upcomming months But that is for later. Here is my workout plan for week 34 of 2024. ๐
`โตโข.ยธ,โตยฐโต.๏ฝก.โฐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ช โฐ.๏ฝก.โตยฐโต,ยธ.โขโตยด Today I will work on my calistenics basics, I will do 2-3 sets of bridges. Normally I would swim today, but since the swimming pool is closed I like to do an extra long yoga sesion instead. This will also help relieve stress, since school will start the day after. <3
