I can’t emphasise this lesson enough.
The ONLY way to truly grow, flourish and get what you want is to do the OPPOSITE of what your comfort zone tells you to do.
Everything you dream of in life? The incredible potential within you that is ready to be fulfilled? That’s all waiting for you on the other side of your comfort zone. When you’re faced with a decision that needs to be made, doing the scary thing will be what gives you the opportunities you need and desire; as well as turbocharging your inner evolution into someone stronger, self-respecting, smarter, savvier, happier and more confident.
romanticize your life. i cannot stress this enough. use scented shower gel and shampoo, so you look forward to showers. go on walks and see how pretty the sky looks. notice the wildflowers on the roadside as you drive. light a candle when you get home to make your room smell good. notice & appreciate the little things in life. it won’t cure your mental illness, but it’ll make it easier to exist in this world.
you feel sensual and are ready to rejuvenate - you step into your clawfoot bathtub that’s full of rose petals, lavender oil, and pink salt
you’re wandering Paris - the sky looks like cotton candy, the Eiffel Tower is starting to twinkle, and there’s a fresh raspberry macaron in your hand
you’ve stumbled upon a fairy garden - the fairies whisper sweet compliments into your ears and sprinkle their dust atop your hair
there’s an extravagant ball tonight - you’re a princess, dressed in a beautiful gown and delicate tiara, and have just been asked to dance
you’re walking in New York City - you’re wearing your favorite silk dress and heels, lightly buzzed on rosé, hailing a taxi for a night out
it’s the early 2000s - you’re in your bedroom with your best friends, gossiping about your crush and wearing baby pink Juicy Couture pants
the afternoon is hazy - you’re having a picnic with your lover on a soft blanket, surrounded by wildflowers, the air is full of pink lemonade and kisses
the year is 1946 - your pearl necklace decorates your neck, everything is in black and white, live jazz softly serenades your ears as you make unexpected eye contact with an attractive stranger
Manifesting rant🥂
You can have what you want. So please stop with the imposter syndrome and with the “if it’s meant to be” shit. Get that out of your head. You can have what you want because you are the creator of your reality. Stop putting so much value on material objects and jobs etc and place that value on yourself. Do you want what you are asking for??? If yes, then affirm that it’s yours and go on with your life and don’t start that nonsense of “if it’s in God’s will thennn”...like omg do you know what God is capable of creating??? Receiving a billion in cash is probably so boring for God to create. What we want seems so big for us but God’s like “wow, this is a snooze fest, can they ask me for something bigger🙄👀”. People are too scared to ask God for what they want but are also fully aware that God created dinosaurs and mountains and the ocean. Like how the fuck do you even come up with that?🤕
Dream huge, ask for a lot. Manifest the fuck out of your life. Get what you want. Earth is yours. The universe is yours. What you want is just an object, it’s just a house, it’s just a car. Having a good time on Earth is your birthright.
Also stop being humble and modest while you’re at it. You don’t earn any brownie points thinking you need to act that way. You deserve so much more than what you ask God/people/the universe for.
Honour the little girl inside of you, the little girl that was abused, hurt, abandoned, who felt she was never enough. Let her feel safe, let her know she is loved, tell her everyday. Make her feel so special, she deserves it, keep her clean and warm and nourish her with the nutritious foods. Let her feel free. Let her embrace the things she loved doing, skating in the park, jumping on the trampoline, painting, running, swimming, making sandcastles, girly sleepovers, making stories, playing dressup. It might sound silly, it might sound irrelevant but honouring the little kid inside of you is going to bring you so much joy and fulfilment. That little version of you, still exists, and deserves to be honoured. Give yourself the love and care, and joy that was stolen from you as a child.

Imagine the most incredible version of yourself. Close your eyes and picture her. What does she look like? Smell like? How does she laugh? What’s her energy like? What type of house does she live in? How does she feel everyday? How does she react when shit doesn’t go right? Now you’ve got the vision. Keep reminding yourself of it each day by closing your eyes, and connecting with this vision. Write it down. Because what you’ll start to see is that you will start to become the most incredible version of yourself that you imagined.
*ੈ✩‧₊˚ Oh, the Internet. A myriad of a million hyperlinks, videos, and social media platforms barraging us with contradicting advice from every single angle...and here I am to throw some more in your lap! Below are a handful of online blogs, Youtube channels, and Spotify podcasts that I myself love and live by. Truthfully, I did plan on adding a list of self help novels that transformed me into moi but....there's just far too many. Perhaps another time, my darlings! I sincerely hope that the media I've included here resonate with you and allow you to step into your highest self. Enjoy!

Much love, Auden♡
write that book. publish that blog. apply for that job. dye your hair. cut your bangs. pick up that hobby that you’ve always wanted to try. wear that outfit that you loved but were too afraid to put on in public. life is way too short. be whoever you want to be, and do whatever you want. stop waiting for the right moment, because there will never be one. sometimes you just gotta say fuck it, and do it! live your life the way you want, and don’t ask for anyone’s approval.
Start entertaining new thoughts. Start nurturing high vibrational emotions. They’re the foundation of your reality. When you change them, you change your life.
When you become aware of how you speak, how you think and how you act, you are no longer programmed by the past.
Teach your body how your future is going to feel like. Feel the emotions in the present moment. Right now, feel the emotions you want to feel in the future.
You can become grateful and abundant before the promotion, or before you get the job.
You can feel in love before the relationship happen. You can fall in love with your life, your body, your choices.
You can steer your emotions with your thoughts.
So if you have been waking up grumpy for the past year, start disciplining your mind to feel grateful in the morning.
Practice guided meditations to create the feeling of abundance in your life. Start a gratitude journal. Praise yourself in the mirror. Flirt with yourself. Spoil yourself. You are the captain of your thoughts. Your thoughts influence your emotions. Emotions create your life.
Build a new personality.
If you really did believe your thoughts create your future, you would show up and do the work. You would observe your thoughts daily and when any negative thought pops into your head, you would flip it and built constructive ones.
All it takes is awareness and discipline. Start today. Start right now. You are capable of changing your life just like anybody else.
Sending you much love 💖
