Microbes rule the world

Microbes make up the majority of the Earth's living population. This is fortunately not to scale. That would be terrifying. Most are not harmful, but some can be, and many of those harmful ones can be found in drinking water. Support organizations in providing clean water to communities (SUCH AS FLINT MICHIGAN!), and continue to study and record scientific discoveries about these organisms!

Happy Earth Day!

Happy Earth Day y'all! EVERY day should be dedicated towards caring for Mother Earth ❤❤🌍 Hope that y'all did something fun & eco-friendly today, whether it be walking to school instead of driving the car or planting new trees, and may we ensure that sustainability is our #1 goal in the future 😁

Gender identity struggles

It’s okay to feel unsure about your gender identity, and it’s okay to not identity with the male or female gender. Understanding yourself takes time, and hopefully you are able to surround yourself in a community that supports how you express yourself. My support goes out to those who experience suppression from their families and communities and those who suffer from gender dysphoria. Please don’t lose hope, and remember that organizations like The Trevor Project are here to help you through your struggles.

Cherish your pets

Remember to cherish your pets (if you have any)! In our darkest times, they are a constant, reassuring force keeping us afloat, and they never fail to put smiles on our faces with their hijinks! So cuddle your pets! Feed them, play with them, & love them! We often create the our best life experiences and memories with them! ❤❤

Persevere

Part of caring for yourself involves stretching! If you're working on your flexibility like I am, keep persevering and you'll get definitely get that splits in no time! Chip at it little by little, even if you can only do 5 minutes. Perseverance can guarantee eventual mastery of seemingly impossible skills.

Sore today, strong tomorrow!

Self care is about taking care of your body, and exercise is part of that process! This doodle is dedicated to Cassey Ho, because she has been SUCH a strong role model in my positivity and exercise journey ❤ and I wouldn't be where I am today without her support and motivation. This is one of Cassey's mantras that kept me going. #4YrswithBlogilates

The power of pilates

Don't be afraid to look messy while exercising!! Sweating is proof that you've been pushing yourself hard and achieving your best 😁😁❤❤ Exercise is a form of self care, don't forget! A daily workout as short as 10-15 minutes does wonders!

El peso en tus hombros

Quiero decir que si otra gente se siente lo mismo, está bien y es normal. Lo más importante es hablar con otra amiga o adulto leal y expresar sus emociones. Está bien para tomar un descanso. Cuídate y duerme mucho ❤❤

It's okay to cry

Reminder that it is okay to cry! Sometimes you just need to let pent-up feelings out, and crying can often relieve that stress ❤❤

Let yourself sleep

We all need sleep, so make sure to get enough!! (Looking at you, stressed out high school and college students...and adults in general) If you are a high school student, you should try to get 8 hrs MINIMUM ❤❤ so rest up and take care of yourself so you don't get sick!!! Sleep is self care 😁

Listen to music when you feel down

For those of us in the rainy mood, whether it's just because of exhaustion, stress, or bad things, remember to take a day to just put on some comfy clothes, turn on some music, and rest/relax. Sometimes calm moments in a corner can do wonders in clearing a mind. 😊😊❤❤ (Exams are coming to an end soon, so hang in there!!)

Finding your inner artist

Finding your inner artist may be a tough challenge after a long period of time, esp. when trying out new mediums, but that's what makes the journey of self discovery even more fun 😁❤❤ I hope y'all are doing well! Hang in there y'all!!
