* waking up early. i know this is possible i am Done starting my day so late. i want to wake up early, clear my mind, and read for 15-20 minutes (another habit i've been trying to build)
* more walks. i am surrounded by a number of trails and parks i pass by daily but have not personally ventured yet
* a new album every day! i love listening to new music it fills me with so much joy especially an album all the way through which i believe is the Right way to listen to new music
* writing ... not entirely journaling i realize i am not consistent enough for that but noting down present thoughts lists doodles words i like in a tiny field notes ... (ex. list of things im grateful for that day, month/day/year - love the way this sweater feels on me, tweet i would like to share but can't at the time) (yes, this is all possible in the notes app but i want to shift from the notes app to field notes)
* knitting!!! getting back into the groove of fiber arts for a couple of minutes every day. i think the trouble is trying to find the motivation for it but i have to remind myself the reasons why i do it to begin with: leaving something tangible behind, inspiring others, furthering my identity and interests
tentative habits list, more will be added!

- 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!!!
- taking my usual at home activities out of the house - writing at a cafe, etc

- taking a bus towards a random destination and see where you end up
example: i lived in nyc for the summer & on my free days i would tell myself something like ok i heard queens has good food.. letās head out there. so i stumbled into sunnyside queens and walked into every shop i could find just to try different foods or learn more about the cultures in the neighborhood. *this can be unsafe so to be fair i knew i was heading to sunny side & that iād be fine i just didnāt know what i was gonna do when i got there
- when you have the travel itch, try a new cuisine.
example: pretty self explanatory, but for someone who loves to learn about new cultures and explore what they have to offer, sometimes flying there isnāt always an option. depending where you live, trying a new cuisine (bolivian, ethiopian, bangladeshi, etc) can transport you for a little bit & make you feel accomplished.
- test your social skills (or lack thereof)
example: im a pretty social person, so take this w a grain of salt. but now that iām back home in the bay, i feel thereās a lot of catching up to do in terms of actuvuties. like, whatās the new cafe spots in town? so, i told myself i was going to have oNE new human interaction that day outside of work, family, or a random on the bus. (though randoms on the bus could work) i went to a new coffee shop in the area & sat at the bar, and chatted up some of the baristas. iām into coffee so i asked about their machines, roasting process, and even where they source their beans. didnāt leave with a best friend, but it was a side quest completed.
- get out of ur bubble and explore public transportation.
example: i use public transit almost daily and always have. i share a car so itās not always available, but i also have the privilege to drive to work some days and blast my music in the car. but i highly encourage everyone to explore their local transit system. i feel like itās taught me about my city in a way i wouldāve never experienced isolated in a car, and i am also able to zone out, be alone, and blast my music in my ears while being driven to my destinationā¦ ideal situation if you ask me!
hope these are helpful????? <3
