✧˖° Romanticizing Discipline: Why Your Study Aesthetic Matters More Than You Think
✧˖° romanticizing discipline: why your study aesthetic matters more than you think
post 1 post 2 post 3
heyyyy angels, mindy here!
okay, listen. we need to talk about something that people love to roll their eyes at. making studying aesthetic. every time someone posts a pretty study setup, there’s always someone in the comments like, “you don’t need pastel highlighters to get good grades 🙄” or “discipline is about hard work, not vibes.” and okay, sure. but also?
if your study routine feels like punishment, you’re gonna run from it.
the way something feels matters. if you walk into a cozy, candle-lit café with soft music playing, you’ll want to stay there for hours. if you sit down at a messy desk with harsh lighting and a chair that makes your back hurt, you’ll last 15 minutes max. same work, different environment, completely different experience.
so why wouldn’t you make your study sessions feel good?
the truth is, romanticizing discipline makes you want to be consistent. and when you crave the work instead of dreading it, that’s when everything shifts.
so let’s make studying feel like an experience instead of a chore.
✧˖° why aesthetics actually matter
people like to pretend that discipline should be cold, harsh, and mechanical, but your brain doesn’t work like that.
➼ your brain loves sensory rewards. if your study space looks, smells, and feels good, your brain will start associating it with pleasure instead of stress. ➼ habit-building depends on emotion. if studying is something you enjoy (even a little), you’ll do it more often. if it always feels miserable, you’ll avoid it. ➼ your environment shapes your identity. if your space and routine reflect the kind of person you want to be, you start stepping into that version of yourself.
this isn’t about making everything look cute just for the sake of it. it’s about creating a feeling that makes you want to show up.
✧˖° how to romanticize discipline (without making it a distraction)
because let’s be real... if you spend two hours making an aesthetic notion template and zero minutes actually studying, you played yourself. the key is to set up your space and then get to work.
✧˖° 1. make studying a full sensory experience
romanticizing discipline isn’t just about visuals. it’s about creating an atmosphere that makes you want to sit down and focus.
➼ sound: play a study playlist that makes you feel productive (lo-fi, classical, rain sounds. whatever works). keep it consistent so your brain recognizes it as a “focus” trigger. ➼ scent: light a candle, spray a room mist, or use an essential oil diffuser. scent is one of the strongest memory triggers, so pick one that makes you feel calm and focused. ➼ touch: make sure your chair is comfortable, your desk is clean, and your study tools feel good to use.
it’s about tricking your brain into thinking, this is a space where we focus.
✧˖° 2. design a study space that makes you want to sit down
your environment dictates your focus. a cluttered, uninspiring desk will make you feel restless. a cozy, minimal, well-lit space will make you want to stay.
➼ keep only the essentials. a clean, distraction-free setup makes it easier to focus. ➼ add a little inspiration. a vision board, a cute calendar, a motivational quote. just something that makes you feel like that girl when you sit down. ➼ lighting matters. natural light is best, but a warm desk lamp can make nighttime study sessions feel cozy instead of exhausting.
again, the goal is to create a space that makes your brain want to work.
✧˖° 3. make discipline feel like a lifestyle aesthetic
some people make discipline look miserable. but the people who actually stay consistent? they make it look effortless.
➼ romanticize the act of opening your books. make it feel cinematic. the soft scratch of your pen, the glow of your laptop, the warmth of your tea. make it feel like a movie (mean girls, gossip girls... etcc) ➼ dress like the best version of yourself. even if you’re studying at home, wear something that makes you feel put together. ➼ upgrade your study tools. if you like the way your planner, pens, and laptop setup look, you’ll actually want to use them.
this is about shifting your identity. when you see yourself as the kind of person who enjoys discipline, you become her.
✧˖° keeping the balance: romanticizing vs. actually doing the work
okay, but let’s not pretend like aesthetics alone are gonna get you an A. you still have to put in the work. the key is to use aesthetics to enhance your discipline, not replace it.
➼ set a “setup time” limit. you get 5-10 minutes to set up your space. after that? no more tweaking. just start. ➼ use a study timer. 50 minutes of deep work, 10-minute break. repeat. this keeps you from getting stuck in the “pretty but unproductive” trap. ➼ reward yourself after real progress. light a candle before studying, but don’t let yourself scroll Pinterest for an hour instead of doing the work.
discipline first, aesthetic second. not the other way around.
✧˖° final thoughts
romanticizing discipline isn’t about making things look good for the sake of it. it’s about shifting your entire mindset so studying feels good.
when you make your study space feel warm, inviting, and yours, you stop dreading it. and when you stop dreading it, you show up more often. and when you show up more often? you actually get sh*t done.
so go romanticize the process. set up your space. light the candle. play the playlist. and then? open your books and do the work. because that girl you’re envisioning? she’s already you. you just have to step into her.
do not fall into the trap of "aesthetics over work" because there will be NO reason for you to romanticize studying, if you don't actually study.
with love,
mindy

Self worth vs Empathy for yourself.
Both self worth and empathy for yourself are important to your mental and physical health. But what is the difference between the two?
Self Worth - Defined
Self worth is understanding your importance as a person. Understanding that you can accept and give love, and knowing your values.
Self Empathy - Defined
Empathy for yourself is slightly different and can be absent when self worth is present. Having empathy for yourself is setting boundaries with you. This includes making promises to yourself and following through with them (ex. I will exercise for an hour… and then actually doing it) and listening to your body and brain when they are communicating (an example of this would be hunger/thirst signals).
How do these feelings work together?
Self worth is a great foundation!! Knowing what you deserve and how you should be treated is meeting your basic needs. Practicing empathy for others is easy, but practicing empathy for yourself will help you build routine and increase productivity. If it’s a statement you wouldn’t say to a friend, don’t say it to yourself, and turn the positive beliefs about your worth into positive actions that reflect how you feel. <3
The Glow-Up Is a Lifestyle: 10 Ways to Elevate Your Everyday
by Soleau Club
If you're still thinking of a glow-up as a one-time thing, let's shift that energy. The glow-up is a lifestyle, not a crash course. It's how you pour your water, speak to yourself, and curate your entire damn aura. Here's how I subtly (but dramatically) elevate my everyday to keep it soft, hot, and high-vibe.
I start romanticizing boring moments
Folding laundry becomes a reset ritual when Sade is playing and there’s lavender mist in the air. I’m not "cleaning the kitchen" — I’m clearing space for my next manifestation.
I treat my body like it’s my best friend, not a project
I’m not punishing her with workouts or starving her. I move her with joy. I feed her with care. I rest her with luxury. She’s my ride-or-die, so I act like it.
I say no without guilt
Overbooked = overwhelmed = out of alignment. I’ve started turning things down that don’t feel like a full-body yes. If it doesn’t light me up or calm me down, it’s a no.
I drink my water like I’m getting paid for it
Hydration is a personality trait. I have one bottle for bed, one for my car, one that looks cute in Instagram pics — and I rotate through them like they're part of my identity.
I curate my surroundings like they’re part of my nervous system
Everything around me either adds to my peace or disrupts it. I choose candles, playlists, lighting, textures, and colors that feel like me. That is self-respect.
I move slowly on purpose
Walking slower. Eating slower. Answering slower. When I stopped rushing, I started glowing. Slow = sensual = regulated = powerful.
I take social media breaks before I get bitter
If I’m doom scrolling and comparing, I log out. If my vibe is off, I don’t keep feeding it content. I detox like I detox sugar — regularly and unapologetically.
I spend money like it’s energy
If it’s not aligned, calming, inspiring, or luxurious in some way… I’m not buying it. Wealth starts with how you invest your attention, your time, and yes — your dollars.
I prioritize joy over aesthetics
Some days the vibe isn’t a green smoothie in a silk robe — it’s eating popcorn in mismatched pajamas while watching early 2000s rom-coms. That counts. That heals.
I act like my dream life already exists (because it does)
I’m not waiting to “glow up.” I’m embodying it. I wear the perfume now. I eat the nourishing food now. I take care of myself now. And suddenly, I’m already her.

How to Prep Your Meals Like a Hot Girl (And Actually Stick to It)
by Soleau Club / www.soleauclub.com
Meal prepping sounds like a dream—until it becomes a nightmare of Tupperware, random ingredients, and not being able to tell the difference between your quinoa and your brown rice after a long week. But if you’re here, it’s because you know the secret to looking hot, feeling good, and living your best life is consistency—and that starts with what’s in your fridge. So, let’s break down how to prep your meals like the boss you are (and actually stick to it).
1. Keep It Simple, Babe
One of the biggest mistakes I see is trying to meal prep like you're about to enter a Michelin-star kitchen. Newsflash: You don’t need to be gourmet to eat well. Keeping it simple is key. Think protein, veggies, and grains. It’s easy to mix and match, and you won’t feel overwhelmed by 15 different ingredients.
Protein: Chicken, salmon, tofu, ground turkey, eggs—whatever floats your boat.
Veggies: Broccoli, kale, bell peppers, spinach—buy a few of your favorites and get creative.
Grains: Quinoa, rice, or sweet potatoes—these are your base.
If you stick to a few basic ingredients that you love, you’ll be able to rotate meals easily and always have something tasty (and hot girl-approved) waiting for you.
2. Invest in Quality Storage (Trust Me, It's Worth It)
Hot girls know the value of a good container—it's not just about looks, it’s about keeping your food fresh and your life organized. Invest in airtight, stackable containers that you can grab easily when you’re rushing out the door. Bonus points if they’re clear, so you can see what’s inside (no one has time for mystery meals).
Pro tip: Get a set of glass containers. They’re durable, microwave-safe, and won’t stain with your marinara sauce. Plus, they look way more Instagrammable than plastic containers.
3. Plan Your Week, Then Prep for It
To keep the meal prep vibe smooth and easy, plan your week first. Are you going to be extra busy one day? Maybe prep a bigger portion of your favorite salad or stir-fry. Are you going out on the weekend? Plan your meals around that so you’re not scrambling to cook the night before.
A simple plan for the week can be as easy as:
Monday/Wednesday/Friday: Salad bowls with grilled chicken, avocado, and quinoa
Tuesday/Thursday: Stir fry with tofu, veggies, and brown rice
Snack: Pre-portioned hummus cups, protein bars, or fruit
Planning ahead means you won’t have to think about what to eat at the end of a long day—and we all know, decision fatigue is real.
4. Make It Fun with Flavor & Spices
Nothing gets boring faster than bland meals. Hot girls don’t do bland, and neither should you. Spice things up with a range of herbs, spices, and sauces that can turn your meal into a masterpiece.
Herbs: Fresh cilantro, parsley, thyme, basil. They’re easy to add and totally elevate a meal.
Spices: Cumin, smoked paprika, turmeric, chili flakes. A little spice goes a long way.
Sauces: Make a batch of your favorite sauce—think tahini dressing, spicy mayo, or balsamic glaze—and drizzle it over your meals for an instant flavor upgrade.
By mixing up your spices and condiments, you’ll make each meal feel new and exciting, even if it’s the 4th time eating it in a week.
5. Prep for Busy Days (And Don’t Forget Snacks)
The key to sticking to your meal prep routine is being prepared for those days when you’re too tired or busy to cook. That’s where snacks come in, and trust me, having your go-to snack stash will save your life.
Healthy snacks: Think pre-portioned bags of almonds, protein bars, yogurt, or even pre-chopped veggies with hummus.
Meal components: Have cooked protein and grains ready to go so that on crazy days, all you need to do is assemble. Mix-and-match bowls are your friend here.
Hot girls never let themselves get hangry. Prep for your busy days, and you’ll never fall victim to fast food again.
6. Get Comfortable with Batch Cooking
Batch cooking doesn’t mean cooking for hours on end. Instead, cook a big batch of something versatile (like grilled chicken or roasted sweet potatoes) that you can use in different meals throughout the week.
Roast veggies: Roasting a big batch of veggies (sweet potatoes, Brussels sprouts, zucchini) means you’ve got a flavorful side dish or base for bowls that’s ready to go.
Grill protein: Grill or bake a large portion of protein and store it in your fridge for easy additions to salads, bowls, or wraps.
Batch cooking means you’re saving time and energy, which makes sticking to your meal prep routine way easier. And trust, once you get into the groove of it, you’ll feel like a wellness queen.
7. Make It a Ritual, Not a Chore
If meal prepping feels like a chore, you won’t stick with it. Hot girls don’t do things they hate. Instead, turn meal prep into a relaxing, fun ritual.
Put on a podcast or your favorite playlist: Set the mood while chopping veggies and grilling chicken. You’re not just cooking, you’re curating your wellness.
Get creative: Experiment with new recipes, sauces, and combinations that make your meals feel more like a treat than a task.
Meal prep doesn’t have to be boring—it’s your chance to take control of your week and fuel your body like the goddess you are.
8. Don’t Beat Yourself Up
Sometimes, life happens. Maybe you forgot to prep one week, or you get too busy and skip a meal. That’s okay. The key to sticking with it is not letting one missed meal prep session throw you off completely. Take it as a learning moment, reset, and come back stronger the next week.
Perfection isn’t the goal—consistency is. So, be kind to yourself and just keep showing up for your wellness.
So...
Meal prep doesn’t have to be a daunting task. With a little planning, some quality containers, and a pinch of spice, you’ll have your meals ready to fuel you through your busy days. The secret is to keep it simple, make it enjoyable, and never stress over a little imperfection.

Things my therapist used to have me do that just make sense
Stare right into my reflection in the mirror 30 minutes straight no make up no clothes just me. If I look away once I restart the timer. With the intention of seeing yourself, she said
Write a letter to one person every day. Letters I will never send. As in pen and paper and a letter, not less than 1000 words. In whatever language, but 1000 words. Not characters. Words.
"Explain to me how this is a problem? / Take me to the part where this is your problem"
Write 10 things I hated about myself that day and then explain what is so bad about them without making it about how others will perceive it like- how is this a problem for ME?
Talk to water. You know how water is life / water is healing? Pour water in a glass and the tell it whatever and drink. Like speaking life into yourself. So like- I am X I am Y and then drink it.
Ask me 'what's the weather in your head today' and now I describe my feelings to people in weather terms and they just -,-
5 things you can see four you can hear three you can touch two you can smell one you can taste every time i was getting too lost in my head for grounding. I still do it, 10/10 would recommend
'Outside your head is that an issue?'
Fire me even though I was the one paying because 'at this point it's just dependency'.
'I can't take you seriously if you don't take yourself seriously'
Each step is a step. Relax and keep going ✨️
