3 things i didn't know i need (or maybe you too) before 8am

the moment i feel like my mood is better since i have this in my morning routine, i automatically feel like i need to share this to the blog! this things that i am going to write is seriously lifted up my mood! not only that but it will also be beneficial for your body!

i started off by making a morning check list that i need to do first thing in the morning, no matter what that is, i need to do these 3 things! i will go ahead break it down just for you:

1. morning gratitude
it is very important to set your mind to be grateful and express gratitude every morning for what has been blessed for you, starting from the little thing as little as waking up on a comfy bed, or waking up and you still have both of your eyes works perfectly. those things really keep my mind stay focus on the positive things and is very good for your foundation of the day

2. take time to massage your face or do a natural remedies
this one is a face skin care hack! i have been recently wipe my face with frozen sliced cucumber and i will forever keep that in my morning routine! it really is de-puff your face, making your face super fresh, and tighten your pores.. plus it is super cheap and natural.. that couldn't get any better right? try adding this to your morning routine and feel your face and mood uplift.. figuratively and literally.
so after that i also like to massage my face, you can use your finger or a gua sha stone. there are alot of tutorials on youtube, like this one: finger face massage this granny shows you how to massage your face with only using your finger. aaaand.. all you need is - an - intention. 

3. stretch - stretcch - stretccch!
today marked the 30th day of my morning yoga. it was very surprising that i can touch the tip of my toe! the first time i started, when i sit and straightening my leg, i cannot even touched my ankle, but now i can! i was so happy it felt like a gift for my day 30th! so figuring out that your body can actually achieve this and that somehow have the same chemicals effect like you have just achieved something, only it wasn't that big deal. haha but it was for me though.. i almost cried. i think i would have this feeling every time i achieve a new yoga pose.. haha. and as you already know, stretching your body every morning have tons of benefits for your body, like a stress reliever, increase your mobility, lessen your lower back pain, aaand many more! 

so that was it! my new additions for in the morning. doing this has really set my intention for the day. and by checking some to-do list that i made the night before also could lift up my mood as if i achieve something! it is amazing how you can trick your mind like that. 

well write to you soon.

xo, adinda

how do i keep writing a journal and how to start your own

Image
few weeks ago, i post on my insta-story a picture of me writing down my journal and i got several questions towards that. my friends were like wondering how do i keep writing, what do i write, when is the best time to write, so yeah. as yesterday i watched Lana Blakely video on youtube, where she journal for 17 years (i will link the video down below) and i feel resonates to the video that she made! when it comes to journaling or writing, you really don't force it. you basically write whatever you feel like, treat that book as someone that you can fully trust. because on my journal, i really write everything, like E V E R Y T H I N G --from what i'm feeling like at that time, what i'm currently obsessed with, what i hate, or just writing down my dreams, even the craziest dream that i don't know will happen or not! and i simply keep writing because i got tons of feelings everyday, and it is always feel better to write it down. it's like i'm taking off the weight ...

why i quit twitter and here is the 5 things i learned

Image
okay the title might sounds suuuper mainstream but that is really what the topic of my paragraphs going to be! well, i did have that moment of my life where i feel TOO MUCH , like i consume too much informations, too much visuals, too much of unnecessary things that doesn't really important and that causing me to feel anxious and i started to be ungrateful with the beautiful life that i have. so i quit twitter for good since Oct 15th, 2018 . that was the last date that i posted a tweet. i remember reading some kind of politics statement from random people and that was my turning point to finally have the urge to get off of that platform. i am not saying that i against twitter, it's only i feel deep, overthinks.. and by reading alot of people sharing their minds over there in short sentences just somehow making me feel too much because i feel in every sentence you write.. like i am serious, i could think about what you posted for few minutes. i mean that should not be like that,...

one of those days in August, 2020

Image
so my company announced that on August we will have a full month of working from home, it is in between happy and sad at the same time! i am happy because i get to be with home and taking care of my dad and i am sad because at the end of the day i feel so alone (guess this is what half of the population feeling during the quarantine). it is not that i enjoy of being alone, in fact I DO enjoy alot! it’s just there’s something missing for not communicating the whole day with someone! even though i communicate with my boyfriend through video chat or text some of my friends, but still i get the lonely feelings! but anyway, this post was aiming to give you a preview of what i do in a day (like youtube vlog style, but in a written blog)  07.30am: starting to wake up, collecting pieces of my dreams, and reminiscing the emotions once again because i am now awake 07.55am: praying in my heart, thanking God because i am awake now, and all my whole body could function properly. take a moment t...
