Hello people! How is everything going? I hope things are great and if not, I hope this blog helps in brightening up your day!

It's been a while, my apologies. Things have been a mess lately.

This blog is going to be all about how to get a fresh start! I think the new academic year is starting off for most of you out there. Even if it's not, as students sometimes things can start to get so overwhelming and tiring that it just gets exhausting. Sometimes all of us crave a fresh start, and so here are 5 tips for that! ^^

1.    c l e a n      u p

So, for me personally if there is like a pile of books on my desk and like pages are flying around my room, I'll feel more overwhelmed and like a mess than what I already am lol. So I suggest that you tidy up your work space, put away those papers, maybe organize your bookshelf or wardrobe. You can also get rid of things that you don't want anymore and if possible donate them!

Some people might want a fresh start after something tragic happened, for example if you went through a breakup then you might want to get rid of things that remind you of your partner. Not all of it. Maybe some. The choice is up to you. You can decide what makes you feel the best.

Sometimes the same old things can get boring and tiring, you might want to change things up a bit to feel more fresh. Maybe a new bed sheet, or you could get a new journal! You can also make changes to your appearance like you could get a new haircut! Or if not something that extreme then maybe try making small changes to your wardrobe.

You can also make space in your schedule for new habits or hobbies that you enjoy or have always wanted to try. This change from the same old routine everyday can result in you feeling better ^^

Reflect on why you feel that you need a fresh start, reflect on the past. What made you exhausted? What made you sad? What do you want to do differently?

Once you have reflected with the past, you now know what you feel and why you feel that way. So, to make sure that you don't repeat the same things that had a negative effect on you in the past, you can make new changes like habits, these habits can also be planned accordingly to help you achieve a new goal! [if you have thought of one]

Hang out with new people and try out something new! It does not HAVE to be skydiving. It could be something as simple as trying out that new restaurant that you have been wanting to try for some time now.

Hanging out with new people can help you in getting a fresher perspective and you can also have fun away from the same old routine.

Don't just rush into all this in one day, think about everything. Don't over think but just keep important things in mind. Life is happening and will keep happening, don't be harsh on yourself honey. Make changes over time, give yourself some free time. Maybe just go for a morning jog alone or maybe a solo trip, who knows. Whatever helps. Also, by the way the travelling alone thing keep age in mind lol.
