10 tiny things that changed my life ₊˚⊹♡

It's so easy to get caught up in the big picture, but sometimes it's the little things that can make all the difference. Here are some small things that have changed my life for the better, and I hope they can do the same for you :)

1. The power of the to-do list.

I know, I know. You've probably heard this one a thousand times before. But seriously, hear me out. Writing down a to-do list the night before has totally changed the game for me. I mean, who wouldn't want to wake up knowing exactly what needs to be done, instead of running around like a headless chicken? (Been there, done that – not cute.)

And here's a pro tip: Make sure to prioritize your tasks. You know, so you can tackle the most important stuff first and avoid those nasty all-nighters.

2. Drinking water like it's my job.

Okay, I'll admit it. I used to be one of those girls who would choose a sugary drink over water any day. But let me tell you, staying hydrated has worked wonders for my skin, energy levels, and overall mood. So, drink up, ladies! Your body will thank you later.

3. Embracing the "two minute rule".

This one's a game-changer! If a task takes less than two minutes, just do it right away.

Say goodbye to those piles of clothes on the chair (you know the one), and hello to a cleaner, more organized life. Chef's kiss.

4. Learning to say "no" (politely, of course)

It's time to face the facts: We can't do it all. So, learning to say "no" to things that don't align with our priorities is absolutely essential. And guess what? It's totally okay to put yourself first sometimes. After all, you can't pour from an empty cup.

5. Feeling gratitude.

Practicing gratitude has made me appreciate the little things in life. I mean, who knew that writing down three things you're grateful for each day could have such a positive impact on your mood? (Hint: It's me – I'm telling you now!)

6. Rocking the "me time".

Self-care is everything! Taking time out for yourself – whether it's a bubble bath, binge-watching your favorite show, or reading a good book – can do wonders for your mental health. So, go ahead and indulge in some me-time.

7. The art of journaling (Dear Diary...)

Journaling isn't just for angsty teens, I promise. Writing down your thoughts and feelings can be super therapeutic, and it's a great way to work through any challenges you're facing. Plus, you'll have a written record of your life to look back on – and laugh (or cringe) at – later.

8. Surrounding yourself with positivity (good vibes only!)

You are the company you keep! Surround yourself with positive and uplifting people who support and encourage you. Trust me, life is way too short to hang out with people who bring you down. So, go ahead and build your group of amazing people who will cheer you on every step of the way.

9. Dancing it out.

You heard me – dancing is not just for parties! Crank up your favorite tunes and have a mini dance party in your room. It's a fun way to let off steam, boost your mood, and get a little cardio in (bonus!). Plus, who doesn't love feeling like the star of their own music video?

10. Embracing the beauty of imperfection.

Don't let perfect become the enemy of good. For most things in life, getting it done is better than getting it perfect.

And there you have it! Ten tiny things that have changed my life, and I'm sure they can do the same for you. So, go on and give them a try – you just might be surprised by how much of a difference these small changes can make. Cheers to a better, happier, and more fabulous life! ♡

Hufflepuff: Your vibes, m'lord.

Ravenclaw: Check them for me, court jester.

Gryffindor: (faint jingling, followed by a loud thud)

This is your sign. It's time to focus on you. REALLY focus on you. Your self-growth is your priority. It means everything. Put your attention on what's good for you. Stop playing around. You know you have what it takes to manifest those things that you can't stop thinking about. It's time to take yourself more serious. You deserve it. Blessings will follow.

How to be the most knowledgeable person they know?

So, we all can agree that smartness is so hot then how do someone becomes smart or knowledgeable? Let's make an attempt to make it more clear for you.

Read books. Read any book be it fiction, nonfiction, self-help literally anything. Books have longer lasting impact on you.

Study people- Do people watching, observe how people behave, how they react to things, what they are good at, how they are good at it, what they are bad at, how do they talk. People teach you harder lessons.

Keep yourself up-to-date with world events. Maybe read a newspaper daily or read newsletters. Try not to intake biased narratives in you.

Learn new things. Challenge yourself. Learning new things makes your brain sharper and help you grow. It also takes fear of new things outta your mind.

Be curious and open to learning. To learn you have to let go your ego of "I know this" or "this is not important". Learn about most trivial things just for fun.

Give time to your hobby. Whatever it is, try to go deep in it and have fun while doing it.

And in the New Testament of the Bible pa, 7 is the perfect number. Kaya we can interpret that Maria was saying that she's willing to wait for Crisostomo forever. I can't even- 😭

maria's "kahit ilang pitong taon pa ang lumipas, hihintayin kita, crisostomo" still breaks me. broke me the first time and will continue to break me every time i hear it.

i know we're all sick of self-care being a marketing tactic now, but i don't think a lot of us have any other concept of self-care beyond what companies have tried to sell us, so i thought i'd share my favorite self-care hand out

brought to you by how mad i just got at a Target ad

Me: *watching TVD Season 5 (and secretly waiting for Klaus's appearance)*

Klaus: *appears in 5x11*

Caroline: Klaus. (in a tone that suggests recognition)

Me: Klaus. (in a dreamy, where-have-you-been, i've-been-waiting-for-you, i-missed-you, i-love-you sort of tone)
