Sometimes (f.e. Before i go to sleep) I’ll just give myself a lil ted talk about how good/positive things are/can be and stuff I like about me or my life or whatever.
It feels weird in the beginning but it feels great 🪂

Start by saying to self: everything is fine. I am grateful, I am happy. I have all that I need. Listing things help alot too, they don't have to be big stuff, or special even. Just reminding self of good things that you didn't expect. And having health, looking well, having good food (generally provisions).
Look at selfies from past and now. Things that help me see progression or improvement.
Learn something slightly off or "not your thing".
Talk nicely to yourself, the way you would cheer someone you love.
Spoil yourself, and cut yourself some slack.

Listen to music that makes you feel good.
Work out, even if it's just a walk. Admire things you walk by. They don't need to be stunning. But the fact that you noticed, feels good to you.
Talk to a friend or a stranger. Complimenting someone is like complimenting yourself. It reveals more about you than the other person. You can compliment yourself too!
Caress your own face. breathe and say, I am loved, I am precious. Even if I don't know where things are going, I will be my own biggest fan.

Anytime anything small makes me happy, or brings me joy, I say to myself "today is gonna be a good day". It helps me start off my day on a positive note, and establishes the practice of hope as a daily discipline lol for example:
- *leaf gets stuck on the window of our 5 story walk up* today's gonna be a good day
- *sees a ladybug on the windowsill* today's gonna be a good day
- *hears a fun song on the street while on a commute* today's gonna be a good day
- *drinks a glass of water and it tastes good* today's gonna be a good day
In my experience, it's positioned my frame of thought as "hey lets look for all the good in our day today" rather than "let me wait for something good to happen"; and that has made a world of difference when it comes to tackling some of the harder obstacles. So yea idk, give it a try and lmk how it goes <3

Whenever writing doesn’t help me cope anymore I obsess over changing my clothing style or my skin care routine or any habits that I wanna change in general like reading more or doing more exercise than usual.
I must 100% believe that I’m improving though. Fake it till you make it type of way!
It’s an easy, quick, and fairly healthy distraction from whatever is messing with my head.

Hard work and discipline pays off! Man if you got anything that you want to go for…be all in! If you stay consistent at some point it will pay off^^
it sounds basic but it’s true man
+ ah and manifest that shit… which doesn’t mean that you can write it down and not actually work for it no… manifest what you want and then go do the work for it otherwise all that manifesting etc is for nothing.
Your subconscious has to actually believe in it more than you might think🏃🏾

Ngl I feel like sitting in a cafe by yourself is on of the most fun things to do.
Put ur lil headphones on listen to some good music while just chilling or doing anything creative (doesn’t even have to be creative).
Just a nice way to spend time
