It girl resources: Wonyoungism 101

.𖥔 ݁ ˖ ✦ ‧₊˚ ⋅ No problem, I don't care. You are you, I am me. What on Earth is wonyoungism? Wonyoungism is an online movement promoting self-love, self-care and healthy habits. Although inspired by IVE's Jang Wonyoung, the movement has since grown its own wings and become a safe space for everyone, not just K-pop fans. Is wonyoungism an aesthetic? No, it is not. Although there is an aesthetic that comes along with it (As with everything online), that is not wonyoungism in itself, that is the wonyoungism aesthetic; heavily inspired by the 'That girl', 'Pink Pilates princess' and 'Coquette' aesthetics, and not far removed from being a copy. Who can join wonyoungism? Contrary to logic, wonyoungism is not a K-pop thing. I myself have been following it for years, and cannot name another IVE member. It is also not exclusive to white girls. Wonyoungism can be masculine, as, again, it is not about Wonyoung herself as much as it is about you.

୨ৎ First steps

2. Do a life refresh if you need to: block old contacts or toxic friends, unfollow toxic creators, declutter your space, clean out your handbag, etc. (Make a list) Every beautiful picture starts with a clean slate.

3. Slowly start implementing healthier habits into your life that will benefit you in the long run. Here are some ideas: ~ Prioritising nutrients over dopamine in food: Eat more plant-based foods, whole grains, nuts and seeds, and drink your water. ~ Spending time with yourself: Do five minutes of meditation, start a journal (Or blog!), make expressionistic art and music, watch the sun set or rise, go on walks. ~ Taking care of your body: do core workouts to improve your posture, show up to the gym, stretch 2x daily, take your meds, use hypoallergenic soap, drink your green juice.

4. Develop a daily routine: build your ideal habits into your schedule, and hang it up on your closet door. Example: 7:00 - Wake up, make bed and have a glass of water 7:10 - fifteen minutes of sunlight ++ herbal tea of choice 7:25 - Wash face, put on a cute outfit, do your skincare ++ SPF 8:00 - Start studying

5. Go with the flow, find what works best for you, and trash what doesn't!

୨ৎ Research / journal checklist

Beauty:

Health:

What does my ideal diet look like? What vitamins / nutrients could I use some more of? What in my diet could be damaging my body?

What exercise style suits me? What sports activities are available in my area that I haven't tried out? How is my arm, leg and core strength? How is my endurance? How can I build exercise into my daily routine?

What specialist psychiatrists are in my area that can treat any potential side-effects of neurodiversity?

What specialist doctors are in my area that can treat any potential chronic illness I suffer from?

How is my posture?

Am I sleeping enough? How do I fall asleep quicker? Mindset / Mental health:

Do I have any memories that bother me to this day?

How is my relationship with the people around me?

Who do I want to become?

Is my mood stable?

Do I agree with most of the thoughts that pop into my head?

How often do I 'zone out'?
