the universe has your back: the burnt toast theory

“It's basically the theory that if you burn your toast in the morning (something challenging happens), the time you spend making another toast may have saved you from a car accident or maybe it makes you late to a meeting, but as you're walking in, you meet someone that will be so special in your life, and you wouldn't have met them otherwise. It's kind of like the universe always has your back. Love this for dealing with failure too. didn't get the job? Trust the process. everything happens for a reason, something even better is on the way.”

Tiktok is telling me my cortisol is too high and I think it’s right!? My body has been in fight or flight mode for as long as I can remember, even as a child my mind was always racing, and I’m starting to think it’s because I’ve never seen myself as stressed or under stress, so I’ve been ignoring the signals forever! I’ve adapted daily habits that over time have helped me mentally and physically in such a massive way - you might not feel the impact straight away but over time you’ll be so grateful that you started making small changes

I care too much what people think, and the “what are we” question when dating
“The thing that no one tells you is that the magic begins after you give up. This can happen sometime in your twenties or thirties.
It depends on how long it takes for life to exhaust you with its restrictions and rules. You just give up your pretenses, you give up caring about what other people think, you give up impressing others, you give up saying yes to things that are really a no. You give up playing the game. You shed layer after layer of other people's influences. You give it all up willingly and underneath all that you find yourself. The self that is now free. And you finally discover that's all you ever needed to be happy.”

starting 2023 with “lucky girl syndrome”
Happy 2023 girlies! I’m so excited for us to make 2023 our year, and the best way to start is living life like a lucky girl. Trending on Tiktok right now is the term coined as “lucky girl syndrome” where you live life assuming everything is going to go your way because you’re just lucky like that! It’s channeling the Law of Assumption where you attract amazing experiences and opportunities because you believe and assume that of course good things would happen in your life because that’s just the way you are. What a fun way to live life so let’s all try it together and see where it takes us!
