The disciplined. That girl. The attractive one. The most feminine. The cultured, well read one. The girly and extra one. The one who's always put together. The sensual. The kind hearted. The alluring. The happy, warm, sunny person. The classy. The elegant. The graceful belle.

I needed this drag. Let’s change guys and not look back

working out your brain is a must!!

• hydrate it by drinking lots of water

• eat dark chocolate and blueberries and walnuts and salmon and other foods high in antioxidants!!

• play little brain games on your phone; I like wordconenct! anything that makes you think!

• read books. It’s simple but necessary. Even better - join a book club, or read with a friend, so you can have discussions after. This will improve your reading comprehension.

• do puzzles - it doesnt have to be sudoku, I love playing Beat Saber on the Oculus Rift because it makes my brain have to match colorful patterns to physical movements very quickly!

• learn a new dance - even a tik tok trendy dance. Learning new dance moves are proven to strengthen synapses!!

• go bird watching, or foraging, or anything outdoors that requires you to explore pattern recognition and visual searching

• watch a movie with the intent of analysis - this is best done with a cinephile friend!! talk about tropes and symbolism and character growth

• cross stitch, or sew, or do anything that requires matching nimble hand movements to patterns

• play or learn an instrument!

• develop a consistent sleep schedule (or as close to consistent as you can get!)

• when eating, try to identify the ingredients and flavors you’re perceiving!

I hope this helps :)

I like how this went from me feeling like “hm why is this attacking me 🤨” at first, but feeling grateful seeing an added guide on a genuine expansion on a “ how to” work out the brain. This genuinely helps a bunch. People find solace in doing activities that get them through life by doing said activities of phone/tv or if that’s all they’ve ever known in their life to get them through things + etc tho. However, this was very impt to point out. Slowly beginning incorporating things to work the brain in ones own time.

10 Non-Cosmetic Methods to Become Beautiful
  1. Practice humanitarian work by donating your time to prepare meals for the less fortunate and hands to send notes to assisted living homes.
  2. Smile at children. Smiles, no matter how they look, are unforgettable.
  3. Tend to a garden. Giving back to the Earth always benefits us by receiving fruit back, fresher air and a beautiful bloom for a pick-me-up.
  4. Gossip about people in a positive way. Give praise unexpectedly instead of private information whenever you talk about someone behind their back to put a spin on the conversation.
  5. For every insult you receive, give yourself 2 compliments back.
  6. Leave a nice first impression. Smile, smell good and be warm when in conversation.
  7. Take pictures of nature, yourself and what you enjoy. We gain enjoyment from looking back at what has happened because no outside forces can change an event that’s frozen in time.
  8. Give appreciation for tasks others do for you, whether it’s their job or not. Adding “so much” after thank you, maintaining eye contact and being gentle receiving something can leave lasting impressions on others.
  9. Allow others to save face. If someone is having a bad day and people are piling on them, allow them to save face by giving them a chance to get through their day without reproach from you, because what others don’t do is more noticeable than you think.
  10. Allow yourself to be helped and don’t be afraid to help. We sometimes feel bad asking for help for the fear of seeming weak or stupid when the person waiting for you to ask is glad that you finally did. Lastly, the worst word someone can say to you if you think they need help is “no”.
