how to wake up happier ♡

For the past few days I’ve woken up feeling a lot happier and way more positive, simply by starting a few more healthy habits. I figured that I might sprinkle and share some of my positivity with you peeps! ♡ 

If you are recovering from any mental health issues, or want to take the next step, this might be benefitial to you, as it was to me - however, I will warn you that different things work for different people :)

before bed: practise self-care and self-love, think positive thoughts, breathe fresh air, listen to calming music, read a good and positive book, drink water - stay hydrated kiddos, drink some calming tea, take any medication you need to, make sure everything you need for tomorrow is prepared and make sure that you room is in good conditions to sleep in. 

when you wake up: don’t reach for your phone the moment you wake up, open your curtains, open your window and let some fresh air in, have a drink, stretch and remember the positive thoughts you went to bed with.

“Quick fact. Ready? Consuming protein prior to bed time may enhance sleep quality by providing the body with amino acids necessary to create human growth hormone. This hormone plays a role in deepening sleep, as well as muscle recovery following exercise.” | @thepowerwithin​

how to fill an empty notebook

Hey, guys! Here are 20 ways of filling your empty notebooks. If you’re like me and have tons of books that can’t be spоiled, just keep rеading. This post can be useful for you (or can be not, who knows). Well, let’s get started!

Bullet journal

I bet you know abot it. Bujo is one of the easiest ways of tracking your time, habbits, etc. It’s also the way of creativity. As for me, bullet journal is not only a system to make an efficient schedule. It’s a way more. I make my own system that works for me based on bujo. For example, during the summer i don’t make each day as i do during my semester, i write only a week and tasks that i have this week with dates and time. As i don’t have a lot of events this system is perfect for me.

Diary

This one is not about schedules. If you have enough time, you can spend it on it. Write down:

your feelings

healthy changes

your opinion

what you’ve done today

actually whatever you want

Ideas

I do have such notebook and can say that it’s the best invention in the history. Seriously. I used to forget sth like what i want to give as a bday present or what i want to make to decorate my room. But now i just write it down and remember. Some sections that you might like:

presents

social networks post ideas

room decor

health tips (exercises, recipes, etc)

bujo (spread)

sketchbook ideas

Bullet journal collections

Yes, you can have it separated from your bujo. It’s useful for those who have little bujos and don’t have enough place. So having bujo’s collections is comfortable sometimes. Write TV shows you watch, books you’d like to read/already read, expenses, goals for year/semester/month/week/life… Just, as i said before, whatever.

Wishlist

This notebook helps you to set your goals, make a budget and track your wishes. When you have some, you write them down, kinda anolyse them and learn what you should do. For example, i want to go to GB next summer. I should work really hard this school year to have time next summer. According to this i make my study plan and so on.

Budget planner

Yes, a part of it is in your wishlist and one part is in your bujo collections. But here you can write the complete version of your budget plan. Here you can write: 

your everyday expenses

big unplanned expenses

expenses you should save money for

summary

Travel book

If you travel a lot, it’s definitely for you. Pics from you trip, your emotions, tickets, anything that will remind you of the atmosphere of the place. Also it’s a good planner for yor excursions.

Thankful for book

There you write everything you’re thankful for. I write sth everyday so now it’s kind if a habbit. I see that not only bad things have a place in my life. Every moment of your life is worth living.

Writing book

You’re a writer? You need practice. Write about the weather, describe the people, tell a fairy tale. Put down the ideas, sentences, characters for you stories.

Sketchbook

Should i explain?

Study planner

I mean it can be sth besides school, college, uni. It includes:

study plan for week/month

plan for one lesson

what you should concentrate on

lots of motivation (god you’ll need it)

Draft

Yes, your pretty notebook can be used as a draft for your school/college/uni. Here you’re not afraid to make a mistake.

Tracker

health

sport

food

mood

habbit

It becomes much easier to find out what you’d like to change in your life.

Recipes book

Well, it’s as clear as blue sky.

Dream book

Yes, in 2018 some people have dream books. In my opinion, it’s so cool to have one. You write what you dream/nightmare was about, the meaning of it and if the prediction came true.

Statistics

To sum everything up you need this notebook. You analyse (again) what you’ve done in different spheres of your life. When you see the revision of your life, it becomes easier to understand what you have to fix.

Review notebook

There you write your opinion on book/tv show/film/game/etc and some words about it. So you can train your writing skills and learn how to express your point of view.

Quote book

Mine is very big because i’m going to take social science exam in two years and for essay i will need a quote. It’s very useful for everyone as it enriches vocabulary.

Future me book

A message for yourself in the future. I’ve never had sth like this but i’d love to.

Stuff book

The most messy one. Here you can express yourself, make notes, draw, whatever. Everything and nothing at the same time.

Chapter 75! Looking into Mukhil’s past 

chapter index

Close-Up (Abbas Kiarostami, 1990)

please make sure that wherever you’re at in life, you don’t treat it like a transitory period. don’t waste your college years wishing to already be graduated & have a job. don’t waste your single years wishing for someone to be in love with. if/when those things come, they will come in due time and they will be good. but there is nothing like looking back and feeling empty because you wasted literal years ignoring what you had because you were hoping for something better. while it’s important to better yourself and reach for your goals, don’t neglect the present because that’s where you are now and it’s your now that determines your future. 

This year's christmas card!
