If I may say, there is a exceptionally thin line between being unbothered and focused on yourself and being so out of touch with reality to a point even a legitimate critic that is not aligned with the persona you manufactured is seen as out of pocket.
In circumstances similar to the latter, please consider waking the fuck up.

Truly well said, I really appreciate this advice!! If consumed, such content must be consumed in moderation and intentionally.
Unpopular opinion, but the moment I stopped listening to videos from self improvement channels like TheWizardLiz or Simonesquared is the moment I started improving.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with them, as I find some of their advices truly helpful, but consuming their media equals to trying to search to further “how to do x, y, z”, when in reality you are once again stopping yourself from doing better (or something at all).
If there is only one tip you should incorporate into your daily life, that is simply taking action.
If you wish to attract a more sophisticated and curated life, you have to take the steps necessary to get there. Simply thinking of such life will not bring you there and I am so tired of this agenda.
You have to put the effort and energy into the life you want and deserve, and you should not settle for less. Build those habits that will benefit you in the long term, learn what can concretely transform your life and apply all those qualities to your current self.
In no way, shape or form does God or the Universe wish you to struggle. God and the Universe, however, respond with the same energy you put into your life. Make that energy higher in quality and watch how great your life will become.
Chase yourself, and the rest will fall apart as it is meant to be.
Babe, you don’t have to start at 5 AM after Pilates, at 8.30 after a matcha, or at 10.30 after the gym.
You can start at 7.16 at home, at 15,34 after a long nap, at 19.46 after an afternoon of doom scrolling, at 9.21 before a boring lecture in an ugly building and so on. The only thing that matters is that you start.

Louise Hay: How to love yourself.
THIS!!! I truly do not understand how my post was seen as out of touch or irrational. How is loving yourself enough to realise what or who is holding you back in your life an awful advice? I suppose the post may sound pretentious or a suggestion to create a fake perfect persona, but I did not meant it in that way.
My original post was intended for those who may struggle with certain aspects of their lives that are causing them unease, discomfort, anxiety and, in general, a bad feeling. I meant it as an encouragement to “curate” those aspects, especially those in your control.
Many wonderful people have added truly insightful comments to the post and I encourage everyone to read them, as they worded my true intentions wonderfully. I am truly grateful to those who have shared them, as I always am pleased to hear others experiences and perspectives when it comes to something that we may have in common.
Curate everything.
Curate your hygiene routine, curate your clothing items, curate your home, curate your habits, curate your nutrition, curate your environment, curate your circles, curate you socials, curate the content you consume, curate your social skills, curate your financial situation, curate your emotions, curate the version of you that shows up in public, curate your hobbies, curate your knowledge.
Something you believe?
You have to put yourself in proximity to privilege.
