💚 In 2024, I embraced the belief in seasonality. I've realized that, like nature, humans go through seasons in what we eat, do, and how we work out. Our needs change over time, just as the earth cycles through seasons. Accepting this ebb and flow has freed me from the pressure of rigid routines. Change is natural and necessary. It encourages me to be kind to myself and adapt, knowing that flexibility leads to a balanced and fulfilling life. 💚

[@TheScienceofSelfCare]

such a great reminder for me right now! Thank you for sharing 💚

[@JAMtheKnitter]

💚 I learned that even though taking care of a tiny puppy is a lot of work and frustration, getting to experience the unconditional love and joy is more than worth it.

[@TheScienceofSelfCare]

❤️🐕🐶 puppy love is medicine

[@asheritahciuciu4598]

💛 One thing I learned in 2024 is the importance of prioritizing time with my family, and shutting down my work at the end of the workday. We've made so many fond memories reading out loud together, going on nature hikes, and just being together. It's been a really good year for us, and for me personally too. 💛

[@EsjiSG]

🧡 My lesson in 2024; Sometimes ''giving up'' on a dream is the right thing to do, it's never too late to learn something new, you're more capable than you realise, and you can do hard things ! I went back to university at 33yo to switch careers. I had invested everything i had into my previous field of work my whole life beforehand but it stopped bringing me joy. Something had to give, but was terrified to change because I was convinced I couldn't do anything else. I've had to find enough confidence in myself to believe I could learn a completely new field of work. I'm now nearing the end of my studies with pride in myself and a renewed view of my future 🧡

[@sriharshitha3968]

🖤 "The way i see it is that , if you want a rainbow , you gotta enjoy and endure the rain" ...i love your videos🤍🤍🤍

[@TheScienceofSelfCare]

🌈🌈🌈 so true! I feel like the most beautiful moments in my life were born out of some form of challenge. thanks for sharing 🩷

[@bridgetkiernan2810]

🧡 A 2024 lesson that sunk in: don't settle for poor treatment from others. It's easier for me to ask for what I need than I thought, and if people don't respect my needs, that's not the type of relationship I want to put my energy into. It's never too late to enforce boundaries.

[@healthfirstfreelancer]

🩵 My 2024 lesson so far: there’s no need to rush, everything is happening for me in the right timing. I turned 30 in January this year, and it definitely made me reflective on how much it felt like I was rushing through parts of my 20s - finish school, then find a job, then fix my health, then start a business. I feel like I’m finally in a place where I can sort of settle into life more and enjoy things as they happen. And work through my challenges and opportunities more slowly and intentionally. Love your home, Robin! A little too minimal for me, but I love all the natural elements and the sort of modern Japanese aesthetic. Seems like you’re enjoying “settling in” too and I love to see it! 😊

[@ioanax3421]

💜 My biggest lesson this year has been embracing the difficulty, embracing the challenge. I have recently moved to the other side of the planet and facing loneliness for the first time in my life. And when it's tough I keep on reminding myself that this is a life experience that is challenging now, but learning how I behave in this situation, how I withstand and overcome it, how I respond to it, will have a huge impact on how I continue life with a sense of adventure.

[@TheScienceofSelfCare]

This really resonates! I just moved back to the US (where I grew up) after ten years of living abroad. It wasn’t always easy, but in retrospect I can really tell that moving / traveling has been the greatest source of wisdom and strength in my life. Thanks for sharing - enjoy the adventure! ☀️

[@mugecatal]

Hi Robin! I love your house, it gives very calm zen vibes even through the video. For your living area, I suggest getting a rug, a little bit wider than the couch, and the front legs of the couch go on top of the rug. That way you can mark your dance area and the space would look more intentional 💃I would also move the couch a little bit further away from the wall (even a 5 cm makes a difference). For your sideboard, I would get rid of the small egg mirror😅 and get a bigger round mirror just to match the scale of the sideboard. You can get a table lamp and style it with a couple of coffee table books or magazines on top of the sideboard. Right now it looks a little bit empty but with a couple of items, it would look like a skincare/get-ready area 😍🤞

[@tiadeshazer7544]

I love your living room. Not having a tv in our living room for the past 7 years has changed our life and our kids life. I also dry flowers and place them around the house

[@AmyApples]

💜 In 2024 I have learned and am still learning to love myself more. Not only by speaking more kindly to myself and taking care of myself, but also by disciplining myself and sometimes being strict to make better choices that show that I value and respect my mental, emotional and physical wellbeing.😊

[@Its_Katelyn]

🖤 I've learned this year that I'm happier doing something traditionally "boring" with people I love rather than something traditionally "exciting" by myself which has helped guide my priorities in the way I set up and live my daily life and the choices I continue to make. Where I live, how I spend my money, what kind of items I bring into my home, even how many seats I have in my car all can either help or create that friction like you were talking about

[@lilliana7776]

❤ a lesson I learnt from starting painting: you only get the whole picture when you step back

[@apples_and_orchards3205]

💙 I have FINALLY learned to set boundaries. It has been one of the hardest things for me to do! I am 53 years old and chronically ill and have realized that setting boundaries is imperative to my healing!!! It is still not easy for me but i am slowly getting better at it and that feels really good 🥰 (Not setting boundaries. My entire life has been one of the causes of my illnesses)

[@klermans]

💚 My lesson for 2024 so far is prioritising the relationship with myself, giving more attention to the person I am becoming every single day, and most importantly, the love I give to the living beings around me - plants, animals, people. 💚

[@emilycakes683]

💜my life lesson: if I want something really bad, I tend to try to grasp and control, but I have learned that the best thing is often to let go, surrender and trust that what I want is coming my way. It makes it much easier and it’s been amazing how things seem to happen

[@shannonloveofficial]

Please, please, yes re: a sunscreen video! (Particularly if you have opinions on the *feel* of them, or which ones are less greasy/gross to wear.) Beautiful home. Love the dining room tiles! ❤

[@cindyd6377]

🩷 life lesson I've learned so far this year: don't mask negativity with false positivity. Let yourself feel what you're feeling, then let it go.

[@saraharris14]

💚Firstly, I just wanted to say I've never seen a home tour from someone that resonated so much with me, it was like you were in my head haha! As for as a lesson I've learned in 2024, this year I've learned the importance of emotional regulation. Growing up in a home where a parent didn't learn the tools or techniques to help themselves with big feelings, it's really impactful to be able to look within and recognize where growth is needed. Through trial and error, I've slowly been implementing ways to center myself and regulate myself- whether that's breathing exercises, writing things down, therapeutic suggestions, etc. I've learned how imperative it is to show up for yourself, for both you and those around you. Even if you think you're doing wonderfully with your feelings, it's always good to check in, breathe, and be grateful. Gratitude is huge!

[@amydo8993]

❤ I’ve learned to slow down and take care of myself, to actually ask myself what I need/want instead of focusing almost all of my attention on my toddler. I’ve learned the importance of mindfulness and have taken up a meditation practice, finally!

[@DR-it9fm]

♥️♥️♥️ Something I’ve learned this year is that you just gotta keep chugging along, keep striving, just keep swimming, even when things are hard. ♥️

[@annat421]

❤ My biggest 2024 lesson has been to really listen to my body and to use that information to work with my natural ebbs and flows rather than against it. It’s helped me have less burnout and less anxeity in general.

[@DevilishFailure]

💚 My lesson of 2024 so far is that cleansing your home of all the unneccessary things can take very long and it's ok that it takes so long. I tend to get emotional over things anyone gave to me but it piled up for some years and finding another purpose or givint those things away is physically and mentally exhausting. You have to give yourself time, we are all individual. Oh, and bonus advice: Stop comparing your self-care journey to others. I want to force myself to to all the self-care stuff I can because it's good for me and then it's overwhelming so I just stop. Establish your baseline of self-care and then try out one or two things and see how they work out for you. If it's overwhelming, stop those new things and stick to the ones you know work best for you.

[@freyagallagher-jones632]

I really resonate with this too - I also care about the life cycle of objects and want to make sure they are reused or reloved if possible. ITS A SLOW BURN.

[@gcatherinev]

❤ This year has repeatedly reminded me that I am on my own journey, and to stop comparing to others. I failed a big exam last year and it's one that has required me to reevaluate my life, my options and what I want to do for a future career. I suffer so much from looking at my friends and their accomplishments, however, I feel so lost and so small whenever I'm around them. I am easing my way into having more confidence in myself and my choices.

[@ABeautifullyIntentionalLife]

💙 My biggest lesson so far is that I thrive on routines even though I sort of resist them. Also that every experience has something to offer you even if it doesn’t turn out the way you had hoped. 💛

[@dudeh9702]

Love all the natural light and the minimalist approach. Clutter stresses me out and makes it hard to wind down. Thanks for sharing your new house!

[@monj4466]

🧡 Organisation is the key to allowing me to thrive. A big learning for the year, and still in the process of folding it through my life!

[@thoughtgale]

I feel like one of your first videos I watched was about either the red light therapy or the vibration plate as I was considering the sorts of things I wanted to get to create my own little wellness centre for myself. I had a patio and deck built out the back so that there was a fresh space to start with and would house the sauna, which I guess was the centrepiece for this whole caper. I went with a hypervibe g17 vibration plate which has been a nice way back into exercise. I'm definitely a red light therapy advocate now, with a collection of different devices that do (slightly?!?) different things - a large panel, a medium panel, a sauna friendly panel, male and female omnilux mask and a hand held torch. I've lent the medium panel / female mask to a friend and my brother has the torch as my 'evangelical' efforts continue! The final piece has been a tempur bed / mattress with silk bedding which together with the sauna and red light has really improved my sleep! Now for 2024 its just to create the consistent use pattern!

[@guop0795]

💛 2024 lesson - develop multiple routines for when I have high/mid/low energy. This way, even when I feel overwhelmed by my day-to-day or under the weather, I am making sure I am taking care of myself and checking off my non-negotiables. Get those steps in and bask in the sun! ☀️💛

[@itsagoodday2165]

❤ I learned that even if you are family or close friends with someone, they don’t have to agree with you on every single topic and it is ok. You just have to accept their views and if they are conflicting with your own then part ways, if they are family, try to avoid that topic to avoid unnecessary friction. Love your videos!!!!!!

[@richak16]

🧡 My 2024 lesson so far is to embrace change even though it may be difficult and scary at times. It can be easy to get stuck in old ways, but stepping out of your comfort zone can bring on new amazing things beyond what you've ever expected! Love your videos!

[@lollyklein7969]

🧡In 2024, I moved away from my family to study abroad for several years and feeling lonley was a new thing for me. Trying to establish a new life with new people in a different culture can be though and uncomfortable, but there is a new door opening for you when you step out of your comfort zone. That's also how I learnt to embrace the profound beauty of life's small moments. In the simplicity of a morning's first light, the birds songs, the green of the trees, a smile of a stranger or a kind gesture, I found consolidation and gratitude, reminding me that true fulfillment can also lie in appreciating the subtle and the everyday. I discovered that resilience can be found in those moments making you feel less lonley.

[@chantalcourchesne8995]

❤ I've realized we value doing over reflecting and as such we do not quantify worktime reflecting on work only time doing work.

[@LittleGreenPearl]

Perfect timing, I'm redoing my rooms for spring cleaning this week. Specifically, I'm investigating effective and hygienic bathroom cleaning tools, haha. 💚I'm always learning new things about myself and the world. If I had to pick one thing, I'm working on healing my inner child. My feelings and wants were often dismissed and ignored growing up. That led me to toxic relationships that hurt me but I believed that's what I deserved. I'm trying to be more caring towards myself as I'm my own daughter. Hence, I'm watching The Science of Self-Care.

[@rootsandseeds4302]

💚 In 2024, I have learnt (and am still learning) that no matter how many great and exciting things I want to do, if I don't also take enough time (and I mean a lot of time) to rest and do nothing, the chances of being able to do those great things diminish. Because an overworked and stressed body and mind are not able to be healthy and happy AND do great things in the long term. I always choose a relaxed, happy, well-rested and refreshed self first and before the many great experiences that still have plenty of room afterwards.

[@catherineemerson99]

💙 2024's lesson so far has been consistency in the "small" things. Still working on it! As for healthy home stuff, over the years we've acquired a ProOne water filter, which we use for cooking, drinking, and pet water. We had a Berkey Light for probably 12 years prior. We also use a large air filter in our living/dining area, and a smaller one in the bedroom. I have a small, easily moveable rowing machine, pull-up bar, and adjustable dumbbells for at-home fitness, along with a yoga mat and blocks. Walking is mostly done outside. Low-tech, I try to open the windows for a bit daily, even if only for a few minutes each morning. We've tried to get away from non-stick coated cookware as much as possible, though we do have an electric skillet (5 kids, so it helps to be able to use a large pan ON the stove and this one besides). We primarily use stainless steel or cast iron cookware. A Vitamix helps me have healthy smoothies with fruit/veggie fiber included. In the bedroom, we use a Chilipad which helps us stay cool for sleeping without over-cooling the house (there are now other brands, including Eightsleep but want to use this one as long as possible first due to cost).

[@bosiefoobar]

Have the same problem with the fan in the kitchen. I bought an AirHood and love it. On top of that i have the air purifier but when i fry stuff, i like to have the airhood suck in and filter as much as possible as it really helps with the smell

[@graceclifford4981]

🖤 I'm learning to be less reactive. I took an MBSR class this spring after a few really intense months in which my world was truly rocked (in the middle of my first year of grad school, which is challenging enough!), and I don't even think I knew how much I needed it.

[@halfwit2]

Love your style so far, it's really just calm as heck

[@Redford444]

Just a tip When you put a mattress on the floor, you’ll get black mold eventually between the floor and the underside of the mattress. Even in a dry climate. I ruined an 11k dollar mattress doing so. You need air flow under the mattress. Cheers

[@TheScienceofSelfCare]

Totally! Thank you for this relevant reminder! I’m planning to get a bed ASAP but haven’t made it as much of a priority as I need to. 🙏 🙏 time to get on it

[@hrhkittkatt]

💛 I've learned that you can't wait for motivation to just happen, you have to seek it out or work through the lack of it. Its hard when it seems others can just ''get it done'' or ''have all the motivation'' but I've realized they don't. They are in my same position and figuring it out.

[@RundownwithRachel]

Every video you come out with, I love even more from the last!!! So fun seeing your space. It is so ON BRAND!!! Also, when and where can we see your Ted Talk??!!!

[@TheScienceofSelfCare]

Thank you, Rachel 🧡🧡🧡 It’s not online yet; I’ll keep you posted 💋

[@anasuperfan]

🩵 After 8 years of studying abroad , I recently came back to realize that returning to a place you once called home can feel different because home is not a location you can just point on the map , but where your heart feels truly at ease ! i actually just recently discovered this psychological condition called (reversed culture shock )which is an emotional distress people experience when returning to their home country after years of being abroad . I believe this is what i am experiencing . I have to say though that ur channel is making this whole experience less painful! It’s because of ur channel that i started taking my whole self care approaches to the next level from the micro current device which i bought because of ur review and i saw a huge difference in my facial structure ( everyone noticed also 😊) to the LED device which became an essential part of my mornings zen moment regardless if it did actually make a difference in my skin or not . Stay authentic as always!

[@LisaSonora]

❤ So far in 2024, my lesson is to prioritize the basics: sleep, clean eating, long walks, gratitude, good talks with friends - all of this is the foundation for physical equilibrium and mental clarity needed to create my art and keep inspiring others to do theirs. It's something I know, but to put it into practice is a hard won lesson after a scary bout of burn out I'm still climbing out of. I just loved your skin care video, that's how I found you. Seeing your stash of hats and mineral sunscreens... yeah, that's me, too.

[@p.granatum]

❤ so happy to see your channel grow! I’ve learned not to be so strict with myself not everything has to be a routine and I can just give myself permission to exist without necessarily being productive all the time ex. Reading for enjoyment, aimless walks etc :)

[@mellmurai7000]

💚 Loving your channel! This year I've learned how to be more patient and kind to myself while waiting for things to happen, and it's been a game changer 💚

[@leilamchargue8710]

💙 Wellness is not doing nothing-it is seeking joy by intentionally filling time with what you love & what you need as a human being to survive.

[@vikisz9253]

💜 This year I learned that I have only one life, and only such a finite time to live it, so I learned to say no to things and people I don't actually want to do, and spend that time with the people that make me happy.

[@perfectpmh1020]

❤ I learned and embraced this year that self-discipline is self-love. I am taking care of myself and keep up with my habits because I care about myself and am worthy to be taken care of.

[@paulinedemortain]

💜 My learning in 2024: Not everything I say or do is popular, instead of cancelling myself, I say the thoughts that I want to hear. Thank you for your videos Robin!

[@Iris-gr5wr]

💜 2024 has been a year full of hard lessons. But one of the more positive lessons I have learned that has helped me a lot is "done is best" as a perfectionist I tend to avoid things if they cant be done perfectly, but actually doing the thing/habit is better than doing it perfectly.

[@caitlinstrand9392]

💜 I’m learning how to declutter. I didn’t realize the toll that clutter was taking on my mood.

[@OlhaZaporozhetsDesign]

💛 The most important thing, for me, in living somewhere - is not the place, but peole with whom you live there

[@katie.22.]

💚 I’ve been learning how to recognize, trust and value my own ideas and opinions rather than assuming that everyone else knows better than I do.

[@aslynneluter5847]

Would totally love a sun protection video for sure!!

[@NellyKvist92]

💙 everything exists at the same time, and when we choose to see the beauty of a person and not fuel the always existing flaws, especially in a challenging situation or in times of imbalance, miracle happens with that person and miracles happens to the relationship.

[@karsu]

Damn. This, and if of course you personally would make a killer panel in San Diego Comicon or the convention circuit. This is the type of “content creation”, the world needs.

[@SimranKaur-gt7ct]

💚 In 2024 I am learning to slow down , my early 20s were a fever dream bc there was no rest. Now I am consciously recognizing that resting is a productive activity.

[@monicamatsushima4424]

❤ 2024 Lesson: Saying "no" in an honest and supportive manner is possible. I do not have to take the time to be supportive and fully honest every time, but I may choose to do so when it matters to me and those I care about.

[@TheScienceofSelfCare]

Love this! It reminds me of the book “set boundaries, find peace” ❤️🙏

[@alison6006]

💚 In 2024 so far, the top 3 things I have learned are: the importance of sleep (huberman and why we sleep), I have learnt more about skin care (thanks to this channel), and I have learned to be more present and in-tune with the seasons.

[@oliviadailey2755]

🧡I've learned in 2024 to try new things without judgment. If I want to start a new habit, I make things as easy as possible and reward myself for even tiny steps. Your home is beautiful! I love all the natural light.

[@rhiannonwinter]

🖤💚 a life lesson I have learned and am still learning this year is to let go of my need for control and trying my best to accept things and use my intuition more. Your home looks gorgeous! Me and my husband are hoping to move soon, so taking some inspiration from this !

[@SannePetersx]

❤ My lesson is that sometimes it's oke to just take time to recharge and not be busy everyday

[@mathilda9083]

💙 I have learned that it is important to let go of people when you grow apart. Some people are only in your life for a certain time and that is okay. Often it is better for everyone involved to let go

[@BarbChang]

🧡2024 lesson - instead of chasing extrinsic motivators like money, status and what other people expect of me, I now focus my attention on what leaves me energized, inspired and joyful.

[@ruthtweedy3402]

💛 Growing a community (both locally, and reconnecting with past friendships from afar) after moving to a new place last year

[@kristenlaymusic]

💙 I’ve learned how much of a difference my diet makes in how I feel and how much brain power I have in the day. I love this process of discovering how good I can feel!!

[@TheScienceofSelfCare]

100%!! Can completely relate to this! It continues to blow my mind how much of an impact these things have on my quality of life ⚡️💙🙏

[@rociokang8143]

💛 my 2024 has so far taught me to take one step at a time, even when I feel anxious and would like to know what the whole future holds and what the whole staircase looks like. All I can do is look at the step in front of me and enjoy it.

[@TheScienceofSelfCare]

[@SpookyFerns]

💛💚 In 2024, I've had to learn to reorganize my thinking and step away from my protectionist way of being. It wasn't until I did something fun for myself that I noticed was holding myself back in other aspects of my life. I started throwing pottery, and in every class I never left completing a piece. When I sat back and looked at my experience, I didn't suck a pottery. I always had a more than decent piece ready to take off the wheel. I was constantly overanalyzing every detail and wouldn't stop touching the clay until it was completely destroyed. Long story short, I've learned to accept outcomes and take it as it is, rather than trying to fix it to perfection. The more you try to fix it, the more it pushes back and will inevitably collapse. 💚💛

[@auntybex123]

I love this video. Just what I needed. I have trouble fitting this stuff into my day, but this gave me some ideas. ❤

[@TheScienceofSelfCare]

❤️ so happy to hear this! Enjoying playing around ❤️

[@rsqarefrost]

🧡 When people show you who they are....believe them.

[@kg5529]

❤ I've learned the importance of incorporating strength training into my fitness routine for health benefits -- also am learning to prioritize protein into my diet a lot more (as a plant-based person I neglected it for a while without realizing it)

[@cmorales5356]

I’ve learned that negotiating isn’t bad and it’s worth being brave to go after what you want!

[@Ashleybmakingvideos]

I would recommend a small rug for the living room! I love the simple decor, but that and maybe a small table would warm up the space greatly.

[@TheScienceofSelfCare]

Totally agree! I’ve been researching some nice textured rugs; it’ll make a big difference ❤️🙏 thanks for sharing!!

[@jennyshufutinskaya6873]

❤ the 2024 lesson for me was practicing non-attachment! I have learned so much about letting go

[@OneLove4eva]

💖 2024 lesson so far. Even when it looks like all is lost, people, places, things being erased from my life that I am still grateful and have love and faith in my heart. From outsider perspective I probably appear alone and unsuccessful. I am grateful for my meditation, awareness, nature and books. All I need is within me. ❤

[@someonexx8004]

💙 “You are living right now, in this moment, not in the future.” My anxiety makes me worry too much about a future that doesn’t even exist yet. I am learning to enjoy what’s happening in the now.

[@TheScienceofSelfCare]

Such a powerful one! 🙏💙 I’ll probably be working on this for my lifetime.

[@dnfq1117]

❤ thank you, Robin, for the beautiful content, as always! Smth I.ve learned in 2024 is that putting myself first through small steps, new choices, or subtle routine changes throughout the day is worth all the weird looks I get from people around me haha 😅! Being on a health/ wellness journey can be tough for one's social life (at least this is my experience), but the great result of feeling so good in my body & mind, and discovering what works for me is absolutely priceless ✨️🧘‍♀️

[@Catarina1233]

🧡 in 2024 I realised that self love is a constant learning process and that it's ok to be where you are right now as long as you keep trying, no matter what that looks like to the world

[@anotherzaynlove]

💚 a big lesson for me in 2024 has been that some choices are really hard to make and can make you really sad in the short term, but are really good long term. Just because at the moment it’s hard, doesn’t mean it’ll get better in the future.

[@yurucheng1644]

💚 My lesson of 2024 so far is: focus on the day to day practice, instead of longer term goals. Stay aware of my “now” and enjoy it. Whatever happens after, it will for sure be great (since I’m putting in good work in this moment towards the life I want). Hope it make sense haha.

[@emilysmith2784]

❤ in 2024 I am learning to embrace my ability to move around. I always thought I had a sedentary life until I was very ill a few months ago and was put on 2 weeks of bed rest. I honestly feel the bed rest made me worse. I was lethargic, angry and just miserable. For me I am now embracing my ability to move and to me movement is happiness.

[@TheScienceofSelfCare]

“Movement is happiness” has been so true for me in my life! Thanks for sharing ❤️

[@taylorevansen6008]

Your home is soooooo dreamy!!

[@ledap9873]

❤ my life lesson is to not take anything for granted and to not depend on external things, as they can come and go.

❤Say yes to most things. You may never get another chance. PS looking forward to the redlight vlog I'm on the verge of buying one.

Beautiful new home! Congrats!

❤ I learned this year that Oura ring and red light therapy devices are FSA eligible. It was enough incentive for me to try both things.

🖤 “selfish” is not always a bad word. you can’t help anyone if you don’t know how to properly prioritize yourself!

💚 in 2024 I learned what being burned out feels like, which tought me that nothing is more important than your mental health, and that standing up for yourself and your needs can feel super uncomfortable, even if it is the right thing (also doing the right thing for yourself will sometimes lead to disappointment in other people, which is ok! but also difficult to deal with). To summarize, adulting is hard and I'm trying my best :)

Omg yesssss plss plss sunscreen video! It’s my number one struggle to find a good mineral face sunscreen! I’m currently using the same chemical also the one you showed but would love some mineral recs!

💛 So far in 2024, I’ve learned that I’m neurodivergent! On the whole, it has been liberating and validating. It feels very comfortable internally to identify with this diagnosis, and I’m still getting comfortable sharing with others in my life. For me, this knowledge has helped integrate past experiences, take better care of myself rather than “should-ing” myself so much, and opened up new avenues to therapy which I am looking forward to pursuing in the second half of this year.

🧡 my lesson from the first part of 2024 is: is never too late to get rid of things that no longer serve you!! Accumulating stuff only bring us mental fogginess and disaster!!! 🫢👼

❤family really is the biggest blessing, even if they are not perfect they are people that will love you and accept you no matter what. Even when they have an opinion that contains judgement, it’s judgement that comes from love and that’s the best kind of judgement that can help you grow if you’re willing to let it. ❤❤❤

🧡The big lesson? Make time for friends. It makes life happier and builds a support system for tough times. This year, I started valuing and prioritizing my friendships more than ever before.

[@anhtopoftheworld]

🧡in 2024, i realized that i am not responsible for people's emotions even if i had hurt them in the past and am facing guilt from that. it is good to let things go and to try to be a better version of yourself through self reflection and giving yourself grace 🧡

[@gogogirl741]

💙 what I‘ve learned and practiced in 2024 so far is to focus more on myself feeling good instead of trying to make others feel good. I am a sensitive person and acquaint myself with other person‘s feelings too much. I usually put a lot of energy into pleasing others and making them feel good but this year I have been really trying to put my emotional wellbeing first. 💙

🩷 one thing I learnt in 2024 is that friends and family are more important than anything! I can be so excited about new experiences but honestly nothing compares to how full my cup feels hanging out with people I love!

I think you need a large rug that you love in the living room. It will be nicer to dance and ground the room. I also think you need more table lamps or floor lamps. Pick those out carefully, you should love each lamp that you get.

[@TheScienceofSelfCare]

Thanks for sharing these awesome tips! ✨ I totally agree on the rug! I want to be patient and picky with it, so I haven’t committed to anything yet. It’ll definitely make the room feel more cohesive and cozy ❤️❤️ I also agree on the lamps! The party lamp I have now is actually a stand in that my friend gave me for free. Do you have any favorite lamp brands or recs? 🙏

❤ A lesson that changed the way my entire brain works is that done is better than perfect.
