Day 272 - 18.11.2021
Today I'm proud of myself for getting stuck in.
Having not been in the lab yesterday, I thought I'd make it up today and help out where I could. Turns out not many people could come in today, so I ended up stepping in and working on another groups stuff. It was fun, and great to be working alongside people I dont usually interact with much.
I look forward to tomorrow 馃寘

Day 271 - 17.11.2021
Today I'm proud of myself for prioritising.
Today was the day a lot of stuff needed to happen in my lab project. Today was also the day my partner had to go to the doctor, without knowing why they had been called in. I made my excuses to my lab group, and spent the morning in a waiting room just so I could be there to meet my partner when they came out, whatever the news was. I'm really proud that I had no hesitation in making that decision, and was able to trust that my group would be able to get on without me.

Day 270 - 16.11.2021
Today I'm proud of myself for pushing for a backup plan.
My friends and I are in the process of looking for a student house for next year. It's tricky, as we know the area we'd like to live in, but it's been a bit hard to find a place that ticks all our boxes. Today I suggested signing up with a different agency, so we can spread the search across the 2 and see which has better properties. I'm proud I managed to put my foot down and get this to happen, rather than just pretending I was ok with only looking at one lot of listings.
I look forward to tomorrow 馃寘

Day 269 - 15.11.2021
Today I'm proud of myself for stopping early.
It might be the winter nights drawing in, but I've been really tired lately. I've still got university work to do though, so it's meant a balance of working and resting - a balance I'm still working at. I'm managing though, and today proved it as I was able to recognise my mental tiredness and stop before I got too bad. Tomorrow I'll do as much as I can, but not push it too far.
I look forward to tomorrow 馃寘

Day 268 - 14.11.2021
Today I'm proud of myself for being there.
My partner has been having a real rough time of it lately. We're waiting to hear back from the hospital, but they're still very stressed and really struggling to sleep. This morning we woke up and they were just still so exhausted. I had plans for the day, as did they, but we both agreed that we needed to make sure they were alright before we did anything else. I'm glad we didn't try to just push on, as while they perked up a bit after a few hours, I know that had we not chosen to pause the day, they wouldn't have even managed that much. I really hope they're feeling better soon.
I look forward to tomorrow 馃寘

Day 267 - 13.11.2021
Today I'm proud of myself for expanding my horizons.
The drama society at my university was putting on a show this weekend. It was directed by one of my friends, so a few of us decided to get tickets. I'd never heard of the play before, so had no idea what to expect, or if I'd even like it. It turned out to be a super interesting show, and I'm really glad I went, both for myself and the enjoyment, and for supporting my friend.
I look forward to tomorrow 馃寘

Day 266 - 12.11.2021
Today I'm proud of myself for properly engaging.
I had an early morning workshop at university today. It was on a topic I find interesting, but not one I'm particularly invested in following for more than I need to to get credit for my degree. Despite this, and despite the horrible early start, I did my best to be actively engaged with the workshop. It was tricky at times, but I know I'll be better for it in the long run.

Day 265 - 11.11.2021
Today I'm proud of myself for deciding to not pay attention.
I was having some issues with my laptop today, and it decided to throw a hissy fit right at the start of one of my lectures. I managed to get it working, but by that point we were far enough in the lecture that I couldn't follow anything, so I decided to write it off and just catch up later. It was tough, both because I had to deal with tech issues alone, which I really struggle with, and because I had to get over the worry that I should be trying to make notes anyway, regardless of my understanding at the time. I got over them both, and I'm feeling a lot better now.
I look forward to tomorrow 馃寘

Day 264 - 10.11.2021
Today I'm proud of myself for going in early.
Today was the big day of getting lots of stuff done in my lab project. To make sure we got everything done, we agreed to meet early and just work until we were done. It meant an early start and being tired, but we did really well, and I'm very glad we got everything done.

Day 263 - 09.11.2021
Today I'm proud of myself for changing plans.
After I finished my lab work today, I had planned on getting an early lunch and going somewhere quiet to study alone. As I was on my way to buy food, my partner messaged to ask if we could get lunch together as they'd been having a bad day and could do with some company. It meant doubling back on myself to get my bag and things, but I was happy to alter my plan for the day, and am glad it didn't stress me out like it would have in the past.
I look forward to tomorrow 馃寘

Day 262 - 08.11.2021
Today I'm proud of myself for taking charge.
I was in the lab today, prepping for another week of experiments. It's been an adjustment, getting used to working with people again. We've all been away from doing actual bench work for so long we're all a bit skittish, but today I decided that someone needed to step up and make sure things were getting done, and if no-one else was going to volunteer, I'd do it. I usually worry about overstepping in situations like this, but it's necessary and hopefully helpful, so I'm trying not to worry.

Day 261 - 07.11.2021
Today I'm proud of myself for being excited.
I had an idea, a while back, for a D&D campaign. I've never run a session before, let alone a campaign, but I do love playing. I mentioned my idea to my friends, and they were all super supportive and excited to play in it, so today I sat down and wrote out the lore of my world. I'm usually quite nervous when sharing my creative work with people, but this time I was only really excited. I'm really happy that I've found people I know will support me.

Day 260 - 06.11.2021
Today I'm proud of myself for switching off.
Because I managed to get all my work done by the end of yesterday, I had today entirely free. My partner and I decided to spend the day in town, going to see a film in the cinema, which is something neither of us had done since before lockdown. It felt really nice to get to switch off for a while and just exist in the moment, and it was also a real step for me to not need to check my phone during the film.
I look forward to tomorrow 馃寘

Day 259 - 05.11.2021
Today I'm proud of myself for staying upstairs.
It's bonfire night here in the UK, which means there were lots of fireworks displays happening around us. My housemates had some friends round, and they set up a fire in our fire pit, which was nice. I'd had a long day, and didn't really feel like socialising, let along doing it in the cold. So despite their asking, I decided to stay upstairs and get my work finished for the week. It's a big step for me to be able to say no to people, so I'm glad I was able to.

Day 258 - 04.10.2021
Today I'm proud of myself for being there for someone else.
Someone very close to me got some scary news today. It was very sudden, and hopefully will be alright, but still a shock to hear about. I like to stick to the schedules I make for myself day-to-day, but I couldn't not drop everything to go and support them. I can't even find it in me to care, because I know I'll be able to make up the time somewhere, but I'd never be able to go back and be there. It was nice to have such assurance in my actions.
I look forward to tomorrow 馃寘

Day 257 - 03.10.2021
Today I'm proud of myself for holding it together.
I had my first panic attack in public for quite a while today. I wasn't in a crowded street, but it was still a space I felt seen and observed by people I didn't know, so it was very overwhelming. I managed to get through it, and took the rest of the day as easy as I could make it for myself.
I look forward to tomorrow 馃寘

Day 256 - 02.11.2021
Today I'm proud of myself for breaking routine.
I had some errands to run in town today. It meant that rather than studying on campus after my workshop, like I would normally, I went straight from campus into town, and then studied back at home. Even though I had planned this trip, it still felt weird to be breaking my normal pattern. I got through it though, and even managed to get all my work done for the day.
I look forward to tomorrow 馃寘
