𝟭. being consistent in journaling ( 🪻 )

i have recently started journaling more consistently and would like to maintain this line. i tried several times to start, failing miserably, because i couldn't find a method that would keep me motivated for a long time. then i purchased the famous five minutes gratitude journal, which is much easier to keep, and which i manage to update almost every day because by simply having to answer the pre-set questions my brain doesn't experience it as a commitment, unlike writing a diary page. alongside the fmj i have another diary with blank pages that i use as a proper diary, writing my reflections, talking about my day, complaining about negative things and stuff like that. i must say that it's therapeutic. i hope this is the right time i can maintain consistency in writing.

𝟮. having a more balanced diet ( 🍋‍🟩 )

i admit i've been eating like shit lately, a lot of sweets and processed foods alternated with periods of fasting due to guilt with the excuse of not having enough time to cook among the thousand things to do. i want to seriously commit to investing some of my time each week into preparing healthy, homemade meals (i could share some recipes here if you want, lmk) that keep me energized and don't ruin my hard work at the gym by adding empty calories to my diet.

𝟯. being consistent in the gym ( 🍄 )

and then obviously going to the gym at least 3 times a week, not really due to a matter of weight/aesthetics, but to cultivate discipline and focus. i believe that physically venting stress is the best and healthiest way to handle the crushing weight of life lately. sometimes i simply need to unload my energy without throwing a fit and risking venting it on someone who has nothing to do with it.

𝟰. reading at least 10 pages per day ( 📚 )

i love reading. i love reading madly, but i also know that i often find a thousand excuses not to do it. my brain fried by social media and zombie scrolling doesn't like the idea of concentrating on printed pages at all and i always put off reading all those books placed on my shelf gathering dust. i haven't read a book in months, so the time has come to break this bad habit and take back my greatest passion. i won't even mention all the benefits of reading, because only one book can give you so much in such a short time.

𝟱. sleep at least 8 hours ( ☕ )

i think my lack of sleep has a psychological component, but i'm no expert so what i say may not actually make any sense. i sleep little, much less than i need, when i was in high school i finished studying very late at night (past 3am) every day because i was so dependent on academic validation that the idea of getting a slightly lower grade than my usual could make me throw up. the thing is, i always delay going to sleep, even though my body is begging me to do so, and i think it's due to an inherent fear that the next day i'll have to go through it all over again. consequently in the morning i'm a wreck and i have to drag myself out of bed, being 30% as productive as i actually could be. i think it's time to work on my sleep schedule much more seriously, i think it could boost my health a lot.

𝟲. spend 15min in the sun every day ( ☀️ )

as a woman i know how important it is to be in the sun to produce vitamin D, unfortunately for me i'm some kind of goblin vampire who can't stay in the sun for more than five minutes without getting sunburned – on top of that my eyes start to water when the light too strong. i'll arm myself with sunscreen and give my body what it needs, hoping i won't get arthritis in my forties.

let me know in the comments what are YOU planning to improve in the near future <3

i think i’m starting to realise how important self love actually is

like no one may ever be able to love me romantically and guess what- that’s okay!

i’ve got my family and friends and most importantly- i’ve got myself

Even though I just started a masters and a new job while also having a side hustle, I feel like the hardest I have to work on is figuring myself out. I go to therapy, I usually get homework from my therapist, I journal a lot. I try to be mindful about changing my mindset. I don't find the automatic ways I do things very healthy and so it takes a lot of work to change them.

It's exhausting... Really, it's like having another full time job on top of everything.

I love my therapist and I see the progress we made in the past year I've been seeing her but god... I wish I wouldn't have to work so hard to have a healthy and balanced mind and life...

3/22/24

I have continued to track here, it only to urge myself to stop eating during my CBD journeys.

Work this week was busy but good.... Until my boss sent an email about an old claim and my hair trigger now again says quit quit quit quit quit.

I am taking my morning break before urging myself to complete the thing that she emailed about.

I am so over this job but I am a workaholic. If they would just leave me alone and give me work to do that I CAN do, instead of only focusing on the shit I don't understand....

Anyway.

This week was better because I got the dogs and cats fed/walked and breakfast made for mom in the mornings before logging in. Yes, that means I have worked later, but that impending doom of OMG I have to do this and this and this has helped me calm down a bit and focus. Get workouts in. The extra stress of the "I have to" is gone.

I am also telling myself not to buy additional sweet things into the house. I have my jelly snacks, sf jello, yogurt, & a variety of protein powders.

Last night's dinner & evening snacks:

So

Part of the problem is that I sit with mom and watch TV so we have some togetherness time. I also need to eat with her so that she actually eats.

I need to focus on finding something to do that will keep my focused on that thing and not food once dinner is over. I really want to cut back to 1 sweet thing per day in the evening.

Anyways. Break is over. Sadly. I got nothing done except type out my frustration on this little post.

Try some shorter, captiony stuff if you're struggling to get through long stories! I think I speak for everyone here when I say we love your writing, maybe some quickfire ones could help some of those drafts see the light of day?

TF Lover 😘

You are truly a light in the inky darkness friend 🤩

Believe me y’all, I TRY…. right, I really try to make shorter, captiony lil posts, but they just take on a life of their own completely independent of my intentions. The plots just take new steps and newer steps and even newer steps still. Next thing I know I have another 1.5k word epic. I hate it as much as y’all.

But, for you @tf-lover, I’ll make a stronger effort at condensing some 😤 I hate leaving y’all waiting for weeks on end!!

Things work out when you both work on fixing your broken parts. That’s when you can give more of yourself to the other.

"What do you wish for," the moon asks me.. "I wish for a true love that has the fragrance of heaven," I replied. She smiled a beautiful smile, and to this she said to me, "You already have that within yourself. You were created out of love, you are love. Why would you want more?" I looked up at her and said, "Because I crave it with my whole being. I want to love, to be loved by another."

She gave me a sad smile and said, "For this, you must love yourself. The only true love you will find that doesn't hurt you is the one you give to yourself. Do you think that I don't crave to feel another's hands on my curves? Do you think I don't yearn? But no, I am happy to give the world my light every night. In this, I am not alone."

I looked to her with sleepy eyes and she said to me, "Just go to sleep and stop worrying. There is so much love to spread around. So many people to make smile, so much kindness to give.. isn't this enough?"

"I want more though. I want love," I told her with tears in my eyes.

"Hush little baby, don't you cry. So says the queen of the night, if you feel alone some days, just look up to me and say.. I love myself, I love my friends, and know this won't be the end," she sang to me in a beautiful sing song voice.

Then she whispered to me, "The love that you seek is all around you. It's in everything. Fill your life with all of the beauty of the world, work on yourself, give love to yourself and love will find you in the most miraculous ways. You don't need another person to be in love, you can love so many things.. love will find you when you are ready. You must grow towards the love that you so desperately crave, because if you don't grow towards it, you will never be able to hang onto it. That's why it is so important not to just jump into love like you are diving into a swimming pool.. that's why you always get hurt. Grow towards it. You must start with you and work your way towards it. The sunrise grows into the day, it doesn't just spring up into the sky.. I work my way across the night, I don't just fly across it. Go to sleep now.. sleep.. and when you wake, remember not to rush things. The best things take time. Quick things are cheap, they are thrills at best. If you love yourself, you won't feel a need to be in love because it is already within you.. and then love may just find you, you never really do know. Life is full of surprises."

And to that she drifted into the night and I drifted off to sleep, dreaming of the moon - eUë

sometimes i worry i look like a neurodivergent stereotype because i will beep instead of saying things like thank you, hi, bye. I don’t know what that term even means to me really, or why I assume it’s bad. It’s a weird comfort thing that I also want to break away from.

For a while, I never could say “I love you”, instead beeping. I built up to it though and that makes me feel better. I’m going to try and start saying “thank you” again. I can’t imagine it’ll be that easy, but I’m gonna work towards it.

Just wanted to ramble about that.
