habits 25 (stay high)

* 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!

habits i plan to develop

- 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

my toxic traits

apparently i have the mentality of a five year old so i need to call myself out so i can move on and stop being petty these are my toxic traits: - really liking something until it becomes popular, and then i hate it because “i was there first”. like???? be tf fr im an adult don’t act like that - not wanting to do smth or getting snappy because im overstimulated. the real world doesn’t cater to me or my feelings so i need to get a GRIP - getting distracted easily or having my mind wander off when someone is talking to me. that needs to literally stop because i find myself doing it too much at work - ghosting people unintentionally. i forget people message me too often because i get too caught up in my own thoughts - being lazy to catch up with friends. - not being mentally disciplined. this is a BIG one. the minute i have an inkling that i dont want to do smth most times than not i will find myself not doing it. i need to push though and just do it - not wanting to leave the house after 9pm or not wanting to stay out later than 9pm (which is usually my sit in bed and chill until i sleep around 10 time) my friends invite me out to bars and such (which is not an environment i am fond of) but i need to remind myself they’re inviting me because they want to spend time with me and and value my company. i need to SUCK IT UP - going to beach days (i hate the beach) for the same reasons as above - i need to read more. i’m going to start finding books with less than 150 pages to try and get my mind back into being active and discipled. i need to work on my attention span, social media has ruined it. - avoiding all apps that involve doom scrolling, i have an obsessive behaviour and one i start i wont stop - being too lazy to dress nicely for casual occasions. i need to take more pride in my appearance - i dont take the gym seriously enough. i have no back muscles and when i grow old, and if i do nothing about my lack of back muscles, i will become an old woman with a very big hunch back - i don’t eat proper meals and i usually just snack. this is a very big one for me and i need to work on my nutrition - i need to spend less time on my phone. i think i might start leaving my phone at home and just take my bank card with me so i can have some proper screen off time now that ive called myself out publicly i need to work on these things and i think my life will change for the better

reflecting on my 2024 side quests

- 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.. let’s 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 i’d be fine i just didn’t 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 isn’t 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 i’m back home in the bay, i feel there’s a lot of catching up to do in terms of actuvuties. like, what’s 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. i’m into coffee so i asked about their machines, roasting process, and even where they source their beans. didn’t 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 it’s 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 it’s taught me about my city in a way i would’ve 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 destination… ideal situation if you ask me! hope these are helpful????? <3
