This week went pretty well! I only have a few thing that I would like to provide some commentary on:
☙ I skipped a lot of workouts, beceuse I didn't have the motivation to do them. ☙ I didn't read enough. When I'm bored or overwhelmed, I really like to read, but I didn't make time for that. I got distracted by my phone a lot. ☙ I didn't follow my morning routine most days. This happend because I refused to come out of my bed in the morning. ☙ My biggest problem this week was my phone. This is not necessarily related to a goal, but it was a very big bother throughout my week. I constantly got distracted and it had a big effect on my productivity.
𝕸𝖞 𝖕𝖑𝖆𝖓 𝖋𝖔𝖗 𝖓𝖊𝖝𝖙 𝖜𝖊𝖊𝖐:
☙ The main focus of next week will be on my studies and personal things. Since i'm on my schoolbreak i have all the time to be working on them.
♡ Studies I plan out all the work i am supposed to do. I do schoolwork daily. I keep up with all the tests & assingnments. I am productive in school.
♡ Personal I compliment the people around me. I spend more time on crochet, knitting & sewing. I start dancing again.
Other plans:
☙ I start following my morning & night routines. ☙ I read when I'm bored. ☙ I follow my weekly work out-plan. ☙ I plan out my winter warderobe (+budget).

Ahhh, I'm so happy to have you here! The post is soo cute <33 Sending you so mutch love and kisses!
𝐌𝐢𝐤𝐨𝐢𝐨𝐱𝐢, 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭?
Yeah.. that is probably what you're wondering right now! And I'd be glad to give you an answer, or atleast attempt to! ♪(^∇^*) Miko, that's me! (oﾟvﾟ)ノ
A small (almost) 15 year old blob placed in the middle of the earth, destined to do.. whatever I'll get to do in this place.
I have been welcomed to Tumblr a few weeks ago now, by a lovely friend of mine. Check their stuff out if you wish, give her all the love and support in the world, because she deserves it! （￣︶￣）↗ @aphroditestearsofjoy.
Honestly, I hadn't heard a lot of Tumblr. The only experience I had with it was many years ago, getting a virus by downloading a sims 4 mod coming from this page. Buttttt, I decided I might give it a try again, and just stay away from the sims stuff. ＞︿＜
More about me? There's so much you've yet to learn. I'm obviously not going to be able to write everything in this simple blog, but if you got any questions, hit me up! x
I live with my parents, back at my homeplace. I have two of the sweetests little fluffballs in my home.
I have a cat, called Diva. (We didn't choose her name, we had saved her from an abusive family household, and tried everything to make her listen to another name, but it didn't work. ＞︿＜ But sure, she slays.) She's currently thirteen, and we care so deeply about her.
And last, but certainly not least, we have Chef, my sweet baby. q(≧▽≦q) Chef is a Russian Dwarf Hamster. He's turning 1 year old on the 28th of February! We adopted him from a very sweet and caring family, and he's my absolute pride and joy. We have this huge aquarium tank for him, filled with all the stuff he likes, and obviously, his home! He's a very sweet and happy boy.
In my free time, you would most likely find me engrossed in a book or two, sipping some warm tea with honey. Or I am spending some time with my family, playing board games or having a karaoke night! (●'◡'●)
Here are some hobbies of mine I am excited to share with you!
reading (planning on posting a few book blogs)
baking / making smoothies (and everything that comes with it!)
researching mythology (ESPECIALLY EGYPTIAN MYTHOLOGY! <3)
writing!
anything that has to do with music
and last but not least, drawing!
I hope this small introduction will enlighten you of who I am as a person. Feel free to send me any questions, do not be afraid! <3
Thank you for reading this, I hope to make some new friends on Tumblr and get to know you all, too! Take care, stay hydrated and keep positive, no matter what. (≧∇≦)ﾉ
Miko, signing off!
#𝟏𝟎𝟎𝐃𝐀𝐘𝐒𝐑𝐄𝐈𝐍𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 - Week 1
Although I am (extremely) new to the self improvement community on tumblr. I have seen the #𝟏𝟎𝟎𝐃𝐀𝐘𝐒𝐑𝐄𝐈𝐍𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 challenge from @dreamdolldiary come by a few times amoung self improvement creators. Because of my curiosity, I have finally read the challenge and I immediately knew that this was the ideal challenge for me to start my self improvement journey! The "goal" of this challenge is to start with holding yourself accounteble and to build healthy habits.
So these were my first few weeks of attempting following this "challenge". And it went absolutely horrible, but I learned a lot from it.
The first 2 days of this challenge I felt very confident and good. But I completely broke down after that. I completely ignored this challenge for the next 2 weeks, because I wanted to focus on school. But because of that I forgot myself and selfcare, after that it didn't take long to stop having motivation for school too. Around this time of year I almost always get a little 'winterdip', but this year it was so massive that I stayed home the past week because I could not find the energy to move or do anything. I was probally already overworked when I started this challenge and expected way too much from myself.
What I'm going to do is analyse the situaltion, break the causes in small parts and find solutions for my problems. I will end this post with a plan for "week 2".
𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 "𝐞𝐱𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐞 𝐝𝐢𝐩"
☙ 𝟏. My biggest problem is that I value my results over my wellbeing. But because of that I feel so horrible that I am also not able to preform well. And that involves slowly into a burn-out.
What I will do is prioritise my goals my physical, mental & emtional goals. While slowly adding more other goals to work on. To help balance schoolwork & my wellbeing. I will make an overview the schoolwork that needs to be done weekly. Then I will decide what to do from that list when planning out my day, I will plan my studying sessions based off the time that I have to study that day. When I don't have the time to finish, I will let it go and do it another day. I will try to do as much work as possible on school days, but what I can't get done in that time, I will make in the weekend.
☙ 𝟐. I have the tendency to stress over the smallest thing, but I will nog give myself the space and time to process those. In my night/ evening routine I will add 10 minutes of non-stop writing. That way I can get my feeling out and if I notice that someting is really bothering me, I will take time for it the upcomming day.
☙ 𝟑. I will make time for a self care day. Saturday, after I return from work, I will make a nice lunch and drink for myself, read, take a bath and do fun things! (Like a mini movienight).
☙ 𝟒. Learn to let go! I have the ability to make myself so incredibly, by simply not leting go of the thing that do not serve me. I carry other people's trouble's, other people's expectations and lot's of other thingsI have no influence on. But even the things I have influence on, will not get better when I worry about it.
To let go, I must acknowledge what is bothering me and that stressing over it won't help me. Writing out my problem may help with this.

I will try out the lemon water and the cold room. I've been in a slump lately, being well rested is the first step to getting back on path! <33
sleeping like an angel°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･🎀
so in my previous post i talked about WHY its important to get a sufficient amount of sleep and how sleep impacts ur life but in this post i'll go into detail about how i sleep like an angel.
drink lemon water/water immediately before bed ; so i drink as much water as humanely possible before bed, i honestly dont know what this does scientifically but when i wake up after drinking lemon water or reg water my skin GLOWS. try it out and see how u like it~
cute pajamas ; this is just a personal take but when i have cute pajamas im actually EXCITED about going to sleep. instead of wearing something mixed and matched and calling it a night, it just feels so girly and proper to go to bed in matching pjs.
making my room cold ; so the ideal temperature to go to sleep in is 67 degrees if i remember correctly, so if ur room has its own thermostat and u can control the temperature in ur own room set it to something a bit colder, but if not just turn on the fan at a medium/low speed. its rly hard to sleep in a boiling hot room and we dont wanna be sweating all night, i just find that the crisper my area is the better i'll sleep.
fall asleep without ur phone in ur face ; if ur someone who is losing sleep because of scrolling on social media late at night, ask a trusted family member/friend to confiscate ur phone. if thats not preferable to u then put a time limit on ur phone bcuz losing sleep over a phone is never worth it love.
get into the right state ; so before bed, i like to be in the state of the wish fulfilled. or before bed i'll be doing SATS. SATS will literally put u to sleep so effectively, but the point of this bullet point is to understand that the state in which u go to sleep matters. it matters bcuz when ur sleeping ur subconscious is so easy to impress. this is why i fall asleep to subliminals, but dont ever go to bed in a bad mood or in a mood that doesn't align with ur desires.
Love these thing. They are son simple but sometimes so easy to forget!! <3
NOT GETTING BUMMED OUT FROM UPSETTING THINGS
It's very easy to enter a depressive state nowadays, especially with all of the things that are going on right now. We can still do things to acknowledge what is going on without having a dark mindset.
ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR FEELINGS
this is the first and arguably most crucial step. It's important to allow yourself to feel what you're feeling. Do not attempt to suppress your emotions or berate yourself for feeling a certain way. Instead, acknowledge these feelings as a natural reaction to something upsetting.
PRACTICE MINDFULNESS
Mindfulness is the ability to stay fully engaged in the present moment. This practice can help you avoid dwelling excessively on things that upset you. Try to focus on your breath, the sensation of the air around you, or the sounds you hear. This can provide a much needed break from the cycle of negative thoughts.
DON'T OVER CONSUME
Over consuming negative media can be another way we can put pressure on our mind. The more negative media we consume the more negative thoughts we have. Blocking certain tags on social sites can be a great way to eliminate negative media in your life. Recognizing these things going on in the world is great, but throwing yourself into all of it isn't.
FOCUS ON THE POSITIVE
When something upsetting occurs, it's easy to get lost in a sea of negativity. However, try to shift your focus to something positive in your life, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant. This could be anything from a recent accomplishment to the love and support of your friends and family. Remembering what you're grateful for can help improve your mood.
TAKE CARE OF YOUR PHYSICAL HEALTH
Physical health has a profound impact on mental well-being. Regular exercise can help boost your mood and reduce feelings of anxiety and depression. It doesn't have to be anything intense, a simple walk or a few stretches can make a world of difference. In addition to exercise, make sure you're getting enough sleep and eating a balanced diet. These steps will ensure your body is well-equipped to handle emotional distress.
#𝟏𝟎𝟎𝐃𝐀𝐘𝐒𝐑𝐄𝐈𝐍𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍
Although I am (extremely) new to the self improvement community on tumblr. I have seen the #𝟏𝟎𝟎𝐃𝐀𝐘𝐒𝐑𝐄𝐈𝐍𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 challenge from @dreamdolldiary come by a few times amoung self improvement creators. Because of my curiosity, I have finally read the challenge and I immediately knew that this was the ideal challenge for me to start my self improvement journey! The "goal" of this challenge is to start with holding yourself accounteble and to build healthy habits.
1. Pick a number of goals (3-4, both small and large) for every aspect of your life. 🩰 Physical I follow my weekly work out-plan. I eat healthy. I use my skincare consistantly. I go to bed before 10 pm. 🩰 Mental I make time for self love. I plan out my day and follow my plan. I journal daily. 🩰 Emotional I do the things that bring me happiness and fulfillment. I write the things that bother me down. I allow myself to feel my emotiong fully. 🩰 Studies I plan out all the work i am supposed to do. I do schoolwork daily. I keep up with all the tests & assingnments. I am productive in school. 🩰 Personal I compliment the people around me. I spend more time on crochet, knitting & sewing. I start dancing again. I have strated learning how to lay tarot cards. 🩰 Spiritual I do more reserch on my crystals. I make nature walks. I meditate daily. 🩰 Finance I plan out my winter warderobe (+budget). I sell my old clothes. I learned more on healthy spending habits. 🩰 Habits I start following my morning & night routines. I practise gratefullness. I read more often. 🩰 Skills I am able concentrate longer. I learn to let go of anything that doesn't serve me. I learned to speak up about my preferences.
2. Setting up reasonable time blocks for these goals. Revamp your schedule to fit your goals around your life. Morning: 6.10/ 7.00 am - Wake up and drink a glass of water. 6.15/ 7.05 am - Meditate and stretch. 6.30/ 7.20 am - Journal and make a to do list. 6.40/ 7.30 am - Make my bed. 6.45/ 7.35 am - Put on my clothes on. 6.50/ 7.40 am - Brush my teeth and skincare. 7.00 / 7.50 am - Eat breakfast 7.30/ 8.20 am - Go to school This is the morning routine I will be doing on school days and sundays. Waking up at the same time very day isn't something that helps me accieve my greatest good. So, i would rather sleep for an extra 50 minutes when it's possible. On saturdays i will wake up at 4.45 am (for work) and i won't meditate, journal or make my bed. I will make my bed and journal when I get back from work (1 pm).
Night: 8:30 pm - Clean my room 8:40 pm - Put together a cute outfit for tomorrow. 8:50 pm - Pack my bag for tomorrow. 8:55 pm - Journal. 9:05 pm - Cleaning myself up. (Skincare Toothbrushing, ect.) 9:20 pm - Do some yoga. 9:40 pm - put my pajama's on. 9:45 pm - Read, if I feel like it.
Study routine: 1. Clean up my study space. 2. Grab a drink. 3. Make a plan. 4. Study. This is what i will do to motivate myself to start with studying. On Ater i get back from school on Monday to Friday, I will do this and study for about 3 hours, after eating a healthy snack and drinking some water, while writing my thoughts down. On Saturday and Sunday I will follow this when I plan to study.
In the Weekend I will get bigger tasks done and focus on my hobbies and selfcare. Saturdaynight will be a selfcare night, where I go on a walk, put on a face mask, take a bath (I love them), paint my nails, reflect on my past week and do an extra long yoga session (and maybe a studio ghibili movie night 💗).
While I make a studyplan and make sure I am up to date on schoolwork on Sundaynight.
3. Setting up a system so you can actually stick to those goals. I will journal daily, and reflect on my day and smaller tasks. I will write weekly updates, where I will refect on my goals and set up new ones for the week. You can view my updates when you click on the following links:
