The Ultimate Pick Yourself Up Guide ๐โจ
Hey loves, I'm back with another long post and today I'm writing about picking yourself up! It's something close to my heart as I have a condition I have struggled with for years that makes it hard to concentrate.
I hope this post is like cool water to your mind and will turn your focus to yourself and how you feel.
Ok ..
Ask yourself
Does my body hurt?
Am I mentally exhausted?
Does my heart feel heavy?
Is my head spinning?
If you relate or say 'yes' to any of these, I want you to take a breath and validate your feelings. Especially on this side of Tumblr were we are constantly acquiring new skills and becoming our best selves, you need to be very careful with your health.
Like I said validate your aches and discomforts, if you are feeling stressed and heavy make sure you feel the extent of your discomfort, let it weigh on you for a second so you personally realise how much you need to take a mental getaway.
At this point cry a bit if you want, nothings wrong with crying, you don't need to be sad to cry, it's just a form of release and surrender.
Step 1 : Take a hot bath ๐ซ๏ธ
Take a bath to loosen your muscles and calm yourself a bit. Become in tune with the temperature of the water and how it feels on your skin. Come back to yourself and sit and enjoy the water. You can burn some essential oil or essence sticks for energy as well as aromatherapy. The point is to get out of your head and get in tune with your senses. This is one of the methods used for calming anxiety, it brings you back to the present and away from all responsibility for a while. Massage your body after you get out with oils, it soothes your muscles a bit.
Here's a video that can be a basic guideline
Step 2 : Moving your body๐คธ๐ฝโโ๏ธ
During this time where you feel out of it, your back may ache or you may genuinely feel disconnected from your body. I recommend yoga during this time as it's perfect for finding a centre in yourself as well as opening up your body. You don't wanna rush into something crazy like HIIT. Ease your body. The point of this is to romance your body, bring that love of yourself back into you. A little movement will also get some serotonin running in your system.
I'll recommend some yin yoga practices as those focus more on the lower body and hips which tend to be where stress and tension tends to collect for women.
My favourite yoga workouts come from Boho Beautiful, here are some of my favourite
Deep Yin Yoga Stretch for Releasing All That No Longer Serves You
Yin Yoga For The Upper Body and Stress
Yin Yoga For Flexibility, Sore Hips and Hamstrings
Yoga For PMS, Body Aches and Gentle Realignment
Step 3 : Meditation ๐ง
Meditation is amazing, you just need to have a certain amount of self discipline and surrender to the practice.
Try out Hypnosis too, as weird as it sounds it works on certain people, me being one of them ๐
This part is really important as it caters to your hard working brain and muscles.
Michael Sealey is my favourite in terms of guided meditation and hypnosis
This is also a good one!
Even listen to ASMR if you like it.
Step 4 : Make food for yourself ๐ณ๐ฒ๐ฅ
You don't need to be a chef for this, all you need to do is prepare a home-made meal for yourself. It'll make you happier and make you aware of what you eat as a lot of tiredness and so many other issues are caused by certain foods you might be allergic to or have a low tolerance for.
I also suggest going vegetarian or vegan a few days of the week as meat weighs you down and makes you a bit slow as it takes long to process in the stomach.
Taking control of your diet is a huge part of taking control of your life as you are aware of what you put into yourself. I'm a full believer of the phrase "you are what you eat".
Step 5 : Talk to someone ๐ฏ
Especially at this time, some of you could be lonely and that's the reason for your discomfort, it's nothing to be ashamed of. Humans are social by a nature. Call an old friend, your parents or if you don't have anyone go on Omegle. Just talk to someone.
Step 6 : Learn or read something ๐
Some of you could be boardering brain dead territory. You need to exercise your brain, it's an organ that needs to be stimulated.
Read, download Duolingo, go people watching. Anything is better than looking at a screen all day. You might need to go on a deprogramming mission where you focus on what's real and around you. I've seen it in so many people who are so infatuated with their devices and the internet that they don't know the difference between what's real and what's not. Don't let that be you. I'm sure all of you are too pretty and smart to be having Alzheimer's in your 50s.
Step 7 : Clean your space !!! ๐
This step is essential, look around your house and room. Empty the bins. Wipe everything down. Look under your bed. Check your pipe systems. Get rid of any dust, grime, mold, everything. I'm a strong germaphobe and I'm really particular about the cleanliness of my atmosphere because your atmosphere is the air you breathe and the air you breathe powers your whole existence. Now if you're sitting in a room with a moldy corner, dust mites and some 9 month old dirt living rent free, no wonder you're sad and lethargic. You're getting poisoned by your air daily!?
Here's some helpful stuff
A YouTube channel run by a cleaning expert that has videos on how to clean everything!

Step 8 : Sleep๐ด
You need to recharge every night. Make sure you get atleast 7 hours of sleep. You can't expect to function at 100% with a 60% full battery.
Recommendation ๐
Delete all unnecessary social media, it'll reduce a lot of stress <3
That's all I have for now
๐
sometimes you guys have lazy days where you sit in his bedroom in your underwear listening to music
random adventures
teasing clay together
clay has walked in on the both of you multiple times and he wonโt look either of you in the eye for days afterwards
cuddling on the couch
matt and lainie inviting you to family game and movie nights
justin will fall asleep in minutes if you play with his hair
walking to classes together
helping his through his nightmares
it takes awhile but after you finally convince him itโs okay, he starts to call you in the middle of the night if he has a nightmare and canโt go back to sleep
sometimes if the nightmare is really bad he will show up at your house and climb through your window
cooking together
spending weekends bingeing shows and movies
helping each other with classes when one of you is struggling with it
you go on dates to rosies and study dates at monetโs
your lockscreens are of each other
neck kisses
him hugging you from behind
he gushes about you to anyone who will listen
clay eventually gets annoyed, matt and lainie think itโs adorable, zach only half listens because theyโre normally playing video games and he definitely takes advantage of justin being distracted
youโre his whole world
he still flirts with you even though youโre already together
Oh yes I'd love some soft Yoongi videos ๐ฎ share them when you can ofc
this isnโt cute necessarily but main dancer min yoongi
he giggle and yell
me in a video
sometimes he just goes Tinie
this is a taegi video but itโs relevant
my fave video and concept
โSometimes we say โI just want you to be happyโ but deep in our hearts we know we still want to be their happiness.โ

I married a child ๐๐๐ป @mbrth
me too nonnie <3ย
Is it so hard to some people in their late 20s or just idk dumb people in general to not belittle someone for liking something? If I cry to a song I'm cringy, if I a have a Yoongi pc on my desk I'm cringy, if a Yoongi's selfie makes me happy I'm cringy I have a life outside of bts too like they love to proclaim but I just enjoy things and like to show them and feel things is that something bad?
people who shit on others interests or others reactions to things they enjoy are genuinely the worst people ever and it says something about them not you you are allowed to find joy and do your own thing without others critiquing your every move most of the time simply for the sake of being assholes,,,keep doing u i love u and if u ever wanna yell or cry abt yoongi im here and available to listen :โ-)
