Being self conscious...

Before you get worried this post aint gonna be me just telling you you're beautiful. Everyone tells you you're beautiful. It's just completely overused. Finding out you're beautiful ( which you  probably are by the way) doesn't mean anything anymore, everyone's 'beauts' or 'perf''.These words are just mindless. I think that where the problem lies is 'perf' and 'beauts' being said all the time. It's the only thing that people aspire too and despite being called beautiful, its just not enough. People need to realize that being 'beautiful'  in others eyes will never be enough. What you need  is self confidence, you will never be self confident if you are relying on others to build up your esteem.You need to get in touch with yourself  and begin to like yourself. If you like yourself, people will look up to you, people will like you and most importantly you will like you. You will never be satisfied by simply looking perfect, you need to be happy. Once you're happy you appear beautiful and to be honest you are above the people that judge you. Just remember that there are no rules you have to follow, no person you have to be and no expectations you have to live up to. Just chill dude,  teenage years are about gaining a personality, you're gonna make mistakes and you're gonna get upset but in the end things will be alright. 

How to deal with...

Hello lovelies,
I want to talk about
Revision

So, I have to confess that I am a bad one for leaving revision to the very last minute or not really doing any at all !(slaps self on wrist) but when I have an important exam coming up I literally panic and STRESS OUT and then get annoyed about the hold it ha over me. Not a good place to be I end up despising teachers and school itself...
So I got to thinking and I thought that I would need to come up with ways to make revision bearable and how to balance it with my life to AVOID STRESS because stress is the worst thing for you boys and girls. Here are some handy little tips to help you get yourself together...  

Plug in your headphones, it can put your mind in focus and block out distractions, it can calm you down if your stressed and generally make you feel happier. It's good to make playlists of music you love or that makes you feel relaxed. Another thing to do is listen to the radio because then you don't put your whole mind to the music you are listening too, you are just letting it play. I ALWAYS listen to music when revising.

Keep a planner that's clear colourful and tells you exactly what you need to do. It gets your head in order and gives you a simple guide to achieving what you want to achieve.

Have a nicely set out desk, helping you think clearly and somewhere where you feel comfortable and relaxed. Somewhere you're happy to be so you can make studying as pleasurable as possible.

 

Make yourself a cuppa tea or  a hot chocolate, it keeps your brain concentrated and keeps you comfortable, giving you something nice to cope with load of work 

Dark chocolate has actually been proved to help concentration, I really find that it helps to suck on a square of dark chocolate whilst studying, it definitely makes it more bearable and helps keep my mind on the work.

Wear comfortable clothes, so you're t worrying about it. Cosy socks can really put you into a good mood and make revising a better and more comfy experience. Don't go all out though and wear pj's you want clothes that you won't fall asleep in, you need to stay awake. Just remember to keep warm and comfortable. 

Lastly make sure to take regular breaks and don't turn down too many social opportunities usually when you are busy and happy you are more motivated to do work, if you leave yourself isolated you won't be in the right mindset to study. You need to remember to have a change of scenery from your desk and you will feel a lot better. 

I hope this helped you, good luck with revising and your work, I'm sure you'll do well xxxxx

Something to watch...

MY MAD FAT DIARY

 Just a quicky for you ... I love this series, it's set in the 90's. So cool 90's fashion and cool nineties music. It is based on a true story, a dairy of a sixteen year old girl and her struggles through life who gives us her funny outlook on the world. She has just come out of a mental hospital for self harming and this is her story of being let out and exposed to the real world. It's a struggle but she can get by with her group of friends in tow.Including fitty Nico Mirallegro. Really grabbing your emotions. I couldn't stop watching as it's so relatable.I was close to tears at one point.There are two complete series of it available to watch on 4od so give it a watch 

Loads of love,
