self discipline tips *beating laziness*💤

these are tips i wrote a few years back.
i feel like i'm constantly going through a battle with emotions and these are the things i often remind myself when i get paralyzed by fear or anxiety. what we choose to do with our time is a reflection of a lot of things that go on inside our head, not only what we need to do, but what we think we deserve and are worth. i'm constantly fascinated by how much i can change my perspective and therefore my productivity and inner space when i let go of certain thoughts and hold on to others, or change my environment, or give my body something that it needs to feel better.
i also wanted to give a different perspective on self-discipline, as i think it has a bad reputation. it shouldn't! instead of going about it in a very strict rigid manner, we should approach it in a more open, gentle way, like the guide and structure to our days that allow us to be set free from emotions that can hold us back.

i hope you enjoy bubs! and please try out, put into practice some of them!, have a great week ahead of you. ~.~ 💕
it's a lovely day outside now. but i have to do some readings :))

lots of love sent your way,
maria

“5 minutes is better than zero” thank you, thank you thank you. I think something just clicked in me after the video, , it made me realize it’s not a “all of nothing” mentality to be productive and get things done.

this video literally came out in the right moment, THANK YOU! I literally was looking for something like this for motivation for my productive day rn💜

[claudiabenedito]

the 5 minutes thing is super helpful, I kinda tried to implement it myself where I'd tell myself "just work for no more and no less than 5 minutes" and that would be enough to get over the hurdle of not wanting to start something because once you start, the hardest part is over!

[mariana-gbdy]

humm, have i ever told you how amazing you are? you're definitely the best youtuber out there. you're such a beautiful person inside and out 🥺🥺 i'm so proud of how far you've come, maria!! once again thank you for the video, really needed this 💌💞💗

Wooah!! The first advice really opened my mind. I am a freshman majoring in Engineering and boy do I stress myself. I love these tips a lot. Thanks!

[yusyaalessa]

Your videos made my day, especially this one! <3 Thank you for these tips, i just realized that we're not always capable of doing everything, we're humans, after all. so we need to take them slowly
much love :3

just found out about your channel. You are amazing and so inspirational. I struggle with depression and perfectionism (probably why I have depression😋) and it is so hard for me to follow any motivational advice. But yours is simple, small and helps!!

[amnabilal]

Goodness me! Your videos brighten up my day. Thanks for that. Also I know I've said this before but you're so pretty. Thanks a bunch :)

[anasamardzic]

Thank you so much for this amazing video! I've been really busy studying for my final exams and sometimes I felt like I wasn't doing enough, but your video helped me a lot <3
Also, the new season of the 100 airs today and: I'm not ready

💗 thank you for this!!! really struggling right now to find consistency in my study habits and sleep schedule :( the guilt of procrastination just makes me procrastinate more and i’m exhausted of this cycle.. i’ll try to keep your words in mind 🌟

[venundei]

[artbangtan]

wow, you are such a wonderful person. thank you for sharing these tips that you have been uploading to your channel online, could never thank you enough. it’s just so fascinating to see you upload your videos that, from what i think, are very raw and just so human. you’re such a beautiful person, and i could tell you as much from only being following you for months. hope you grow to be as amazing, or the person you want to be. you’re such an inspiration, maria.
