It looks like yesterday’s possible issue with the “Delete Selected” button was not actually a problem.

I didn’t mean to scare Missing e users when I posted the warning, but I am committed to keeping you informed and only adding value to your Tumblr experience.

I believed that, though unconfirmed at the time, the issue was important enough to inform users about before I had a chance to verify it.

For future situations, I’m going to work on some tools on my end to make it easier for me to verify major issues more quickly. That way, I won’t post unconfirmed scary stuff.

Thanks so much for all the feedback you guys have given me on this!

I would like to ask a massive favour of you!

I am trying SO hard to keep one or two of my rather large NY resolutions and to do so i’ve made it public(ish) to keep me going!

I would love it if you could give it a read, follow, or even jsut reblog this incase any of your followers would be interested!

Think of it as a way of spurring me on and hey, maybe one day i’ll thank you in my autobiography ;)

So here it is!!

2021… The year of forward motion.

My creation starts today. No resolutions… Only resolve.

Resolve to remove ignorance, negativity, naysayers, sheeple and snowflakes from the quagmire of the collective consciousness in my orbit.

Resolve to move forward in light and enlightenment.

Resolve to relish living a life without fear and to trust in the greater plan.

Resolve to surround myself with people that add value to my life and want to be a part of my journey.

Resolve to make each day special, empowering, fulfilling.

Resolve to remove with surgical precision, if necessary, anything that does not fit this profile.

How To Make Effective New Year’s Resolutions

Look, I know I haven’t posted on here in a while, but one of my new year’s resolutions is to post more so I’m starting with this guide, cause if there’s one thing I’m good at it’s sticking to new year resolutions.

Tip №1: Do something you care about

Don’t write “go to the gym” if you know you’re not actually interested in losing weight or getting fit. Don’t write “read more” if you don’t even like reading. Make your resolutions something you actually would like to do, and can see yourself doing.

Throughout this post I’m gonna be using ‘going to the gym’ as my example resolution, but these tips are of course useable for all kinds of resultions.

Tip №2: Make them measurable

“Go to the gym” isn’t gonna cut it. Instead, write something like “Go to the gym at least 2-3 hours every week”. Setting clear goals will always be more effective, as you know what you have to do. Otherwise, how do you know you’ve reached your goal? 

Tip №3: Make a tracker

You can make a tracker for “Go to the gym at least 2-3 hours every week” by making a grid of 2 squares for every week of the year. By colouring them in each time, you can visualize your progress, and therefore use it as motivation. Seeing you’ve already exercised for 12 hours is gonna feel a lot more accomplishing than knowing you’ve exercised for 6 weeks, even though it’s the same thing.

Tip №4: Use a curve

Don’t immediately start with “Go to the gym for 1 hour every day”. You’ll be tired of doing so because you aren’t used to it, and will give up faster. So instead, set a first stage amount, second stage amount, third stage amount, ect.

So with the gym resolution, start with 2 hours every week, then 4 hours every week, then 30 minutes a day, then 1 hour a day, 2 hours a day, ect. See what I’m getting at?

Tip №5: Share your resolutions

If a friend knows your goal, or even better; has the same goal, it’s easier to stick to it. This is also why a lot of people tend to go to the gym with a friend. It’s easier to give up on a goal or habit if you don’t have anyone to hold you accountable. If you stop, your friend will have to go to the gym alone, and you wouldn’t want that, right? 

Tip №6: Forgive yourself

So you didn’t go to the gym for two hours this week, but instead only went for 1 hour? Forgive yourself. It’s better to forgive yourself for this one failure to completely give up all together. 

Tip №7: Reward yourself

Need an external motivator? That’s totally fine. Make some rules for yourself. “If I don’t miss more than 2 hours at the gym this month, I can go get my favourite scented candle at bath and bodyworks”. Pick something you would like as a reward for reaching your goal, and stick to it!

Note: don’t give yourself your reward if you didn’t stick to your rule. To stick to the candle example, if I bought a candle anyway even though I didn’t stick to my rule, is there really a penalty for not skipping more than 2 hours of exercise? Hold yourself accountable and don’t cheat!

And those were my tips! If you’re looking for some example resolutions, I have a post of my resolutions up on my blog, or you can click the link right here to go to that post directly. 

And if you want, please let me know what your resolutions are! Maybe we have some in common and we can keep one another accountable too!

If you want to know the key to making effective new year’s resolutions and how to stick to them, I have a post on that topic on my blog, or you can go to the post directly by clicking this link.

• Use less single use plastic (starting with straws and cups, later also toothbrushes, self care products and lunchbags for school)
  
• Go to the gym/exercise at least 2 hours every week
• Study at least 30 minutes every day
• Post on Tumblr at least once every week (reblogs don’t count)
• Read at least one book every month

As described in the post I mentioned earlier, these are starting goals. Later on I can up the amount of hours/books/tumblr posts.

What are your resolutions for this year? Let me know in the comments, send an ask, or dm me!

Back on social media!

I had taken a break from logging into Facebook/Twitter/Reddit for the last couple months because it was stressing me out. I was feeling inundated by political news that were making me feel overwhelmed and not in control of the information I was processing. So I disconnected for a while and my mind began to feel a lot clearer. The battery life on my phone also improved by at least 3x.

I realized…
