i changed nearly everything about my life including myself very intentionally and in stages.
through journaling and some tough decisions, boundaries, and support for what i was doing i completely altered everything i didnโt like. you canโt heal in the environment that caused you harm and my body was rejecting everything.
1. put study on hold (i didnโt quit it but just paused it until i was ready to start again on my own terms)
2. moved address to an area i love and thats right near the water
3. gained some creative outlets i would have never thought about allowing myself to showcase
4. found a workplace that i really like with people that have become my close friends
5. forced myself to move my body more
6. forced myself to eat better
7. romanticised everything and prioritised things i wanted short term for once
8. travelled!

๐ฏ- going to bed & waking up early. no screen time right before sleeping or right after waking up either
- doing something creative every day, even if i only have the energy to manage a sentence in my journal or something. i've had a horrible creative block for months and i think the answer is just to force it
- prioritizing myself & my needs/wants over others. no more spreading myself too thin or neglecting what's right for me bc it's wrong for someone else in my life
- saying yes to things!!!

Did my best to slow down and practice more intentionality in my life*
Workspace is redone
Self and room are clean
Made great progress for annual trip itinerary

๐I started off with an amazing sleeper car train trip to Santa Barbara and had probably the best solo vacation of my adult life. I read a bunch, rode an e-bike around, watched the scenery pass by from the train.
After I got back, I didn't give myself proper time to recuperate and just kept going. Which started out fine, but then I burnt myself out training for a new position at work and ultimately caught a case of we're all doomed anxiety that I'm still recovering from
I switched therapists, got a cat (yay Tomato), and reevaluated what made me so happy from February-April. I've given myself a goal of not doomscrolling, letting myself exist in peace instead of finding things to worry about.
