Feeling in a slump? In desperate need of refreshment? After exhausting months of studying for exams like me? Well I have this plan to get my life together again and I thought I might share with you!
Spend 3 days resting
No planning and no routinesÂ
Donât do anything you donât want to do
Sleep in if you want
Binge that show or play that video game
1 day of cleaning your space
Keep it small and surfice level
Clean the dust and the floors
Change your sheets and towels
Declutter the things around
Let in fresh air
1 day of mental health reset
Focus on yourself and your mind with meditating or journaling
Go through your full routines
Read or be creative
Do your favourite self care activities
1 day of social media detox -no social media allowed
1 day of dopamine detox
You have to get bored
You are allowed to go for a walk or work out (no music tho!)
You can journal and meditate
A little bit of cheating: if you feel to desperate you can read
Spend this week with others as much as possible
Make small gifts for others
Hang out playing games or just talking
Make sure to tell people what they mean to you
Make sure to change up things in this part depending on your goals, health and your bodyâs needs!
No meat, bread (and other pastry) and sweets
No fried food
Drink water only
Fast for 16 hours a day (imtermittent fasting -a lot of you are concerned but donât worry about me personally. It is safe for me. If you consider doing this do a proper research!)
Work out daily
Go for walks/jogging and spend as much time outside as possible
Take medications and vitamins properly
Declutter and organise your closets and cupboards
Go through your clothes
Deep clean your space
Donate things you donât want or need
3 days resting completely (like the first 3 days)
4 days of active rest
Follow routines
Be creative
Garden/clean/cook
Work out/go cycling/do yoga
Read or learn something new
Create something every day
Plan your future
Find new routines
Get into stable routine that makes you happy
Keep in mind that these are all suitable for me and you can change things up as much as you want! I hope you find some inspiration in this and good luck on your journey!

you are so polite with your sadness, you don't want to ruin this for anyone
đ Sometimes. I used to be very messy, still can be.
âI want you to do this with me for one month. One month. Write 10 observations a week and by the end of four weeks, you will have an answer. Because when someone writes about the rustic gutter and the water pouring through it onto the muddy grass, the real pours into the room. And itâs thrilling. Weâre all enlivened by it. We donât have to find more than the rustic gutter and the muddy grass and the pouring cold water.â

Taking Root: The Vision of Wangari Maathai. Filmmakers:Â Alan Dater, Lisa Merton, 2008.
The documentary tells the inspiring story of the Green Belt Movement of Kenya and its founder Wangari Maathai, the first environmentalist and first African woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.
The U.S.- educated Professor Maathai discovered her lifeâs work by reconnecting with the rural women with whom she had grown up. Their lives had become intolerable: they were walking longer distances for firewood, clean water was scarce, the soil was disappearing from their farms, and their children were suffering from malnutrition. Maathai thought to herself, âWell, why not plant trees?â She soon discovered that tree planting had a ripple effect of empowering change. Countering the devastating cultural effects of colonialism, Maathai began teaching communities about self-knowledge as a path to change and community action. The women worked successively against deforestation, poverty, ignorance, embedded economic interests, and violent political oppression. They became a national political force that helped to bring down Kenyaâs 24-year dictatorship -Kanopy.
