soft reminder: when you don't feel ok, remember your negative thoughts seem more realistic and smart, but in reality they are lies and don't deserve the extra attention you give them. most negative thoughts want you to repeat bad habits and cycles. they don't save you from unhealthy habits, disappointment or anxiety, they help reinforce them. so try to only notice those thoughts as they drift in your mind: don't place any value on them. kind thoughts are hard to trust and seem fake, but focusing on kind thoughts are more helpful for your happiness.

exams in a month. no motivation. nothing is revised. help?
Hey! My favourite quote is “studying sucks less than failing” - it motivated me so much with exams. Obviously different exams and their grades have a different impact depending on their importance but failing is just shitty all round - especially when you could be taking small (!!) steps to change that. I don’t think you should pressure yourself in studying for hours on end every single day. That isn’t beneficial and you shouldn’t tell yourself that is the only way to study. You can work around yourself - discipline is important but there is a difference between pushing yourself a bit and pushing yourself beyond. This is a cute example. Here are a few links that might help:
how to build self-discipline
10 tips to increase your motivation for study
10 small ways to improve your productivity
how to remove distractions
types of procrastination and how to deal with them
how to organise for exams
how to stick to a schedule
tips on maintaining motivation
how to study more effectively
how to study (my method)

It's more than 1 am rn and I just put up these pictres on my wardrobe that I had printed a loooong while back but never used them for the same reason why I still have packets of Hannah Montana stickers stored away somewhere, unused. Just went through one of those evenings where you wanna cry out loud but you're too tired to, so you lowkey chill in your room in the dark and blast sappy/emo music through your earphones.
I understand that progress takes time and that you don't just turn into a new, better person overnight but I just so badly want to turn into the 'better' me that I often put myself through these unhealthy standards that always end with me starting the guilt cycle again. Maybe this is just me being dum again, but from now on, I'm gonna try to be more patient with myself. When I'm anxious about doing something, I always make myself not pursue any other interests other than said task, but then I also end up procrastinating on what I was supposed to do so that at the end of the day, I end up with doing nothing.
Now imagine this going on for a year. My exam is in a month and frankly, I am hella unprepared for it. Period. And since I already wasted a year not studying properly, I don't even know if I can drop a year and not die from the guilt of disappointing everyone.
I wanna end this rant on some sort of a good note like, "Oh well but I'mma turn things around now!" or "The sun will rise and I'll try again!" but the sad ol' truth is that there's a great chance I'll end up procrastinating again tomorrow. Maybe I'm making this into a self-fulfilling prophecy or something. But I'm tired of disapppinting myself tbh. And the only reason that happens is because I leave no margin for mistakes to take place. So I don't care anymore. Maybe I'll end up productive tomorrow or maybe I won't. What I do know is that I'm gonna try to stop turning my mental health into a competition.
It's hard knowing that shit is gonna get hard in the coming days but I take comfort in the knowledge that there will always be more to life than the things I'm stressing about rn.
To anyone who stumbles upon this, if you're going through the same or you've just been having a shitty time, I hope you know that you're not alone in this. And that even if it feels like no one cares, I'm still rooting for you. For us. We'll get through this babe.

Maybe this might come off as reading too much into something, but I think of me finding helpful and amazing new content or creators when I'm feeling low as God's way of looking out for me and I'm grateful.
Mental imagery rn be like life works hard at throwing me lemons but God just keeps wacking them outta mah way with his godly tennis racket ✨
