GUIDE TO THE MINDSET GLOW UP đ
⥠| positive mindset
easier said than done, but it has such a huge impact in our life. we as humans tend to always think negatively of everything, resulting us to give up. but what if it will work out? what we think constantly reflects in our reality and actions. why do we have to always blame ourselves for everything, why do we have to be anxious over little things, why do we have to always think of the worst when we can just flip the words, meaning, love and believe in ourselves.
- ways to have a positive mindset
the bus theory - when u see the bus that you missed u donât actually run after it, right? you just wait for another one, knowing that it 100% will be here. think of your opportunities/relationships etc that youâve "lost" as this bus.
the universe/god never says no; it either says yes , not yet or I have something better for you.
practice self-care, be gentle to yourself. you are waking up and always trying and itâs enough.
the moments you thought that are the "worst" are only moments now, and youâre still here. Be proud of yourself for that
a little rain doesnt have to ruin the parade
practice meditation. clean mind = better mood
journal journal journal (Iâm going to make a post of journal benefits soon)
this absolutely doesnât mean that you always have to be positive about everyone and everything. If you feel sad or feel like crying let it all out. if you feel drained allow yourself to sit all day and watch shows. itâs all about accepting yourself and not "Iâm such a failure I did nothing today" instead "itâs okay, I have tomorrow where I can try again".
⥠| discipline > motivation
motivation comes and go, but discipline is forever. you are scared and not trying? Itâs okay, do it while being scared. count to 3 and start doing something, take action. just DONT sit around. have a plan and donât try to do everything all at once, or you will be easily drained . everyday do something better for 1% and youâll see how just in a short while this 1% will be 100%.
a very good episode of mimiâs :
⥠| kindness to yourself is kindness to everyone
treat yourself with love and respect before others. everyone in this world is a human and I do not wish for you or them to spread hate. we all have bad days and this is exactly why we should so self-care or reach out to someone, but never blame anyone for anything.
you donât owe anyone anything, but kindness and respect.
what you give is what you receive.
respect is not earned, disrespect is.
⥠| no one knows you better than you do
no you are not horrible for the mistakes that youâve made. do you know what makes you horrible? not acknowledging them. if you wronged someone, apologize. even if itâs too late and the relationship is lost, Iâm so proud of you for realizing your mistake and trying to do better. learn AND improve. accept yourself for all the pluses and minuses. youâre a crybaby? good because Iâm too, and itâs absolutely okay. In fact, I think vulnerability is very powerful. you are human and you donât have to be perfect. thrive for being better not perfection. do not listen to rumors or someone thinking that you are a bad person. you in fact know that you are not and itâs all that matters. why do you care if you are enemy in their story , they arenât heroes in yours either.
insecurity is loud, confidence is quiet.
⥠| boundaries
to stay away from toxic people you have to have boundaries. I think the most common type here is "people pleasing" so hereâs my post to help you to stop being one.
when someone does something that makes you uncomfortable, please let them know about it. you donât have to tolerate this behavior. your own peace is the most important thing ever.
if they still repeat their actions then well ⌠itâs time to say goodbye.
if you think that you will "lose" everything by setting boundaries please go back to the top and read the "ways to have a positive mindset" :)
watch youtubers, listen to podcasts etc to connect with people like you and improve your mindset alongside with boundaries.
hereâs my list of my favs, but you can find waaaay more on tumblr
⥠| confidence
be confident, trust yourself, and never let anybody put you down. If anybody puts you down, itâs because theyâre jealous. â Adriana Lima
do not compare yourself with ANYONE. the person you are looking at and saying "I wish I was her" might be doing the same. compare yourself with YOUR dream girl that you have in your head. your only competition is you.
after boundaries, positive mindset, discipline, naturally comes the confidence. loving yourself and staying true to yourself is what confidence exactly is.
no fake it till you make it, no difficult words, just you . take it easy.
⥠| tip: body language and fitness
this is more on the physical side but I advice you to learn a little bit about body language. It helps you to appear confident and attractive. my "go toâs" are entering the room with high head and good posture, never sitting on your phone (as in checking the weather app awkwardly etc not when someone calls or texts u) when coming to an unknown place.
fitness helps to relieve stress and clear out your mind when you donât want to meditate. and by fitness I donât mean intense workouts, a 5 minute workout that you enjoy is enough. also walking 10.000 steps a day also counts as fitness to have a healthy and balanced life.
I , for example, have a playlist with different workouts and I do each on of them on different days, whenever I feel like choosing one. sometimes I donât even work out I just walk 7-10K steps :)
â the end âĄ
in conclusion I just want to say ITS OKAY ITS OKAY ITS OKAY. You are fine. You are enough. Make mistakes, be sad, improve, be disappointed, try, love, learn, thrive. The purpose of this post is for you to understand that DONT exist , LIVE. Because life is worth living for. You were, are, will be okay.

No one hurts me knowingly And I don't really let them see The scars they leave under my sleeve I guess that's on me, yeah... It was an accident It's just ignorance Didn't mean to do it, do it, no So I let it pass, roll off my back No reason to cry over and over But the tear stains on my pillow Tell me that I don't know how to really let this go
No one hurts me knowingly And I don't really let them see The scars they leave under my sleeve I guess that's on me, yeah...
Well, my broken heart is just collateral damage to someone's selfish tendencies Maybe if I spoke up Tell them I had enough, they'd listen to me But maybe they won't, and maybe they don't - They don't care what they do to me Listen Here

So I jumped on that "Jolene's Response" trend and I made it gay. Is this something any of you would be interested in hearing?

Believe me when I say I don't want your man
Dolly, Dolly, Dolly, Dolly
Stealing him has never been my plan
-
I cannot compete with you
I was just something shiny and new
But you deserve better than that man
He was going to throw you away
All he wanted to do was play
But I'd much rather be with you
Dolly
-
You're the one I really want
And I really think that we could taunt
That pathetic excuse of a man
Dolly
-
I know what he means to you
But think about what he's put you through
Is he really worth it in the end
Dolly

Dolly, Dolly, Dolly, Dolly
Believe me when I say I don't want your man
Dolly, Dolly, Dolly, Dolly
Stealing him has never been my plan
-
Your love for him has made you blind
But I really hope that you can find
What really makes you happy
Dolly
-
I'm glad you had this talk with me
I understand, but don't you see
The last thing I wanna do is hurt you

Okay so I am actually kind of pissed abt this one. Usually cancellations Iâm chill with but like this show was one of my favorites. Thanks a lot Netflix
I love villain songs
Iâll be your supervillain Iâll be your bad guy If thatâs what helps you sleep at night
Put the blame on me Iâll be your enemy The cause of all your pain and misery
And youâll tell everybody I turned my back on you But we all know thatâs just not true Itâs far more complicated This ainât black and white And Iâm drawing a line in the sand tonight
Guilt is your weapon so Iâm putting up a shield Wonât apologize for how that makes you feel Listen Here
Thats pretty good for just a silly song about vampires
I caught your eyes following a light seeping through somewhere behind me.
A velvatine dream, a skeleton scene, violent dinning, stay the night in Reanne.
Your hair tucked politely behind your ear; A single strand falls and it all turns clear. Within a black fog, a shallow song.
I'll always be your dog.
...
Teeth sharp, striving for a taste. Never have you ever, but I'm not losing faith. A saccharine case, a motive displaced. I see Dhalias sprouting instead of your face.
Midsummer- rotting away with the others.
Fangs against your skin, I restrain myself so I won't be alone. I admire you too much, yet you're scared of my touch.
Murderous urge; shadows taking turns.
Oh how lovely it would be to meet you when the sun begins to rise. Too bad I'll burn.
...
I caught your eye, staring into the night.
Slipping into some narrow hall, shadows fly away.
A fever dream, a polaroid scene. Black and white shades unto the night. Somehow the graveyard feels so bright.
Creatures crawl out from their slumber.
Stake lobotomy, sacrifice another. I see flowers fill the tunnel.
...
Midsommer- rotting away with the others.
Fangs against your skin, you're the only thing that matters.
I think you love too much, yet you're scared of me.
Wouldn't it be grand if we, if I could see.
I want to meet you when the sky begins to turn.
Quite a shame. It's too bad I'll burn.
This is really cool! People usually forget about her after the musicals over but you wrote a whole song!
I was researching the events of Hamilton and got really emotionally invested in Maria Reynolds, especially since we only see Hamiltonâs perspective on her and the affair which somehow makes him out to be the victim. I understand that the musical couldnât afford to spend any more time on her, but I wish she got more sympathy and respect. âSay No To Thisâ was only one section in her life, after all. So I⌠just went ahead andâŚ
wrote the lyrics for a whole Hamilton-style song about her life. As you do.
References to the musical:
The title (situated at the end of a line in the chorus) being an adjective referring to how Maria does and/or does not feel and related to her passion for Hamilton follows the pattern of âHelplessâ and âSatisfiedâ, uniting the three âMe? I loved himâ women.
Burrâs âthe sinners and the saintsâ line in âWait For Itâ, leading into how her life âtakes and it takes and it takesâ. Possibly foreshadowing of Burrâs significance in her life and her turn to religion in her last years.
âNo one will read itâ and âBurr, thatâs why need itâ in âNon-Stopâ.
The âpawnsâ line harks back to chess terms and references like âknight takes rookâ, âstalemateâ, âthe sacrifices made in every game of chessâ - Hamilton follows the chess players, Maria is just a pawn. A piece Hamilton is willing to sacrifice.
âIâm a diamond in the rough, a shiny piece of coalâ in âMy Shotâ.
The âAlexander Hamiltonâ motif (all names are sung in their show cadences).
âStay Aliveâ, the titular phrase of which is sung by Mariaâs foil Eliza no less.
Eliza and Angelica repeatedly draw attention to Hamiltonâs eyes being his most captivating feature that makes them fall for him in âHelplessâ and âSatisfiedâ. So with Maria here itâs no different. She and Angelica both specifically sing that their situation is bearable because they can âkeep [Hamiltonâs] eyes in [their] lifeâ, even if heâs truly Elizaâs.
Hamiltonâs âI donât want youâ line in âSay No To Thisâ.
The plea to âstayâ both Eliza and Maria sing to Hamilton.
âHelplessâ, another Eliza motif Maria borrows.
The âAaron Burr, sirâ motif. ââŚthat I can, maâamâ is sung to the same tune, showing along with the title that Burr (a supporter of womenâs equality) respects Maria as his equal.
âSay No To Thisâ, in a proper reprise.
The âI am not throwing away my shotâ motif.
âThe world seemed to burnâ in âBurnâ.
âThe Reynolds Pamphletâ, also a brief reprise.
âYou lit my heart aflameâ in âSatisfiedâ.
The âsatisfiedâ motif.
The âenoughâ motif. Oh look, Eliza again.
