Don’t start any extreme diets in January. They don’t work! Instead, work on making healthy lifestyle choices, like adding more unprocessed foods into your day or being consistent with exercise. Eating 1,200 calories a day of food you hate is not a long term solution, and I would hate to see you in this same spot in 2018. Make the healthy changes and be consistent; the weight will take care of itself. ♥
This is so perfectly true! The reason most people can’t stick to their New Years Resolutions is because they aren’t creating changes that can be sustained for a long period of time. Stop trying quick fixes and expecting permanent solutions. Make changes that will last a lifetime

Sunday nights can be pretty rough. Try not to let yourself get too sad or anxious about the week ahead. You can get through anything that’s going to happen this week. You will do marvelous things and it’ll be WONDERFUL.
Here is your Sunday evening reminder that you can handle and make it through whatever this week throws at you.
I definitely needed this right now xx
I think it’s so sad when students stop caring at the end of the year. Like ” I don’t give a Fuck if I fail, I just want school to be over” but you can tell they care. They do. BUT the pressure, expectations and the stress that they have been experiencing early in the semester has totally killed their motivation. We spend 9 months studying for a test that we lose motivation for anyways.”

THANK YOU
Motivation is overrated. No amount of motivation would’ve gotten me through hours of my accounting textbook. No “vision” is enough to keep me awake til the crack of dawn on an essay that I don’t even know if the professor will check. Discipline is what determines how far you go. On those days when your cute little list of #goals and vision of yourself 5 years from now aren’t enough, discipline will pull you out of bed and get you to work. I wish I knew this in high school because I thought I couldn’t work without motivation. I wasted so much time trying to find purpose before I realized that working now, albeit blindly, will ensure that I could chase any purpose I discover in the future. Sure, motivation is crucial, but it’s not consistent. It’s not reliable. You can only rely on yourself and your grit.
