Don’t clean your room.

Sometimes all it takes is letting clothes pile up and allowing yourself to not have everything together at all times. It tells your brain that it’s okay to not have your shit together for once. We’re so busy about having everything look and feel clean all the time that we forget that sometimes there’s beauty in allowing the mess to happen.

💛 Finish that book.

We all have that one book we’ve put to the side for months. Just get started on it and finish it. I swear it doesn’t take long once you get invested. It’s like watching a show. You always gotta get through one or two episodes for you to be invested. It’s also like a new challenge for yourself, like, “how long will this one take me?” This book only took me three days to finish and I was so proud of myself. You also set a new record for yourself.

💛 Picking out a scent that works for you.

I see the scent of your home to be just as important as what furniture, vibe you like for your house. It’s a touch of personality except in smell form, lol. It’s nice to have your place smell nice. It somewhat adds the finishing touch of adulthood. You feel good walking into a well scented home that reminds you of you.

💛 Listen to a podcast you don’t need to have your brain on for.

In this day and age, we’re always trying to learn something, pick up a new habit, adapt a new mindset, whatever. It can get really taxing to our brains so sometimes I like to have a podcast that I can just listen to for fun, shits and giggles, for comfort.

💛 Eat for two.

Order whatever you want and eat however much you want.

💛 Windows down, guards down.

I promise you no one cares about you as much as you think they do. Just try it once and I mean go FULL OUT. like how you vibe in the car as if you’re with your friends.

💛 Take your time to get ready.

When you rush into things, you’re not in the right headspace. Literally for anything in life. Give yourself a few couple extra hours to get ready and feel your best. You show up better when you’ve just taken your time to show yourself love before getting ready to leave the house to show love to everyone else.

💛 Feed a stray kitty

Something about feeding stray animals that warm your heart instantly.
