Welcome!

The word Mistral, from Latin magistralis ventus, means literally ‘master wind’, and is a strong, cold and dry wind that blows from France to the Mediterranean.

A Mistral Spirit is a term I’ve come up with to represent a spirit with a powerful passion for adventure and an undying strength to follow that passion. This blog is the outlet for my personal Mistral Spirit, and my hope is to inspire you to follow where your Mistral Spirit takes you.

by what metric do you measure your self-worth? how do you decide your "mood" when you first open your eyes in the morning? what determines your happiness levels throughout the day? . rather than figure out what your life is missing, try digging deep to find how you measure your happiness in the first place. You might not like what you see. . (Inspired by the subtle art of not giving a fuck by @markmansonnet, recommended to me by too many people so I finally gave it a read. It’s good, try it too.) . P.s. yes this is my university. yes it’s beautiful. yes I’m drinking chai lattes and wearing boots and oversized sweaters. yes I’m a mere bundle of days away from pressing “play” on my christmas music playlist. 🤷🏼‍♀️

This is how I organize all the work I have to do for my classes in my @scribblesthatmatter Bullet journal! . Assignments and to-dos are written on the day they need to be completed and colour coded by class. I’ve been using it since September and it’s honestly helped me immensely with staying on top of all I have to do. 🤓😇 That, and sleep. Sleep is massively underrated but it’s the most useful tool for productivity. Go listen to @joerogan podcast on sleep to change your life. 😉 . #bulletjournal #study #organization #productivity #sleep #scribblesthatmatter #university #deadlines

My updated university note-taking system video is up!! So excited for you all to see this, as I think it’s the most content-dense one I’ve ever made. I talk about my learning + study process, efficient note structure + layout, and of course why it all matters! 😉 . If anything, watch it to enjoy my limited-edition raspy voice due to capsizing while sailing in freezing weather last weekend. 🤭 . Also, happy homecoming to all my queens brothers and sisters! ❤️💛💙 . #notetaking #system #university #learning #lovetolearn #study #onenote #handwritten #cornellnotes

Taking the thanksgiving long weekend to relax and recenter. In the constant motion that is my lifestyle at university, I’m finding it both easier and more essential to take occasional breathers via walks, music, a nice coffee or tea and a yoga flow on my mat. I’m still working to make these regular parts of my life, but i think it’s falling into place slowly. Or maybe I’m just getting used to the chaos. . If you’ve felt like you’re stressed or burning out, check out my most recent post on the things I’ve been doing to get out of those states of mind which pop up every so often. 😉 What are your recentering strategies? . #student #university #cafe #mentalhealth #happiness #coffee #recenter #balance

Today was my day. I went to sleep at 11 yesterday, set my alarm for 7 am. But unconscious me had other plans. Slept through, woke up at 9:46, ran to make my 10am class in 5 minutes. Had an apple and a granola. Finished classes at 12:30, walked over to the Tea Room nearby and submitted my quiz due at 2pm which I'd almost forgotten about. This is me now, at the same coffee shop. I didn't scroll to the hardest questions at the bottom to look like I'm doing harder math, I didn't rearrange my table so it looks more aesthetic, I'm not perfectly put together. But I'm wearing a new oversized sweater, got an oat milk cappuccino, am actually understanding and catching up with math (a subject I’m incredibly rusty in because I haven’t done it in a year), I just chatted about cinnamon with a third-year regular here, and I'm listening to You Can't Hurry Love by The Supremes in this cafe. I'm LIVING the life and you know what? Today is MY DAY. . #mentalhealth #school #university #success #selfcare #study #selfworth #loveyourself #knowyourself

OneNote has been amazing so far. As has my new Surface Pro! If only I could stay on top of the impossible amount of readings I have to do... 🧐 . #notes #study #student #university #notetaking #onenote #motivation

my math notes notebook compared to my math worked notebook. The latter is totally messy and just a place to do the practice questions, and the former is all taken in class with the Mistral method of notetaking! . #university #mathnotes #notetaking #study #organization #productivity #student #studynotes

a glance at the tasks I did during my first week here. Though it takes a bit of a time investment at first, getting organized is to me the biggest key to success. . #organization #university #student #universitylife #planning #bulletjournal
