Exercise or restorative/yin yoga, playing with my dog, writing, watching a movie (The Piano Teacher tonight for an upcoming sexy femcel movies/not at all sexy sexy movies episode of my podcast š«¦), reading, taking hot bubble baths, eating good food. Iām also a bit of a night owl with a flexible schedule so I start work at about 10:00 am and stay up pretty lateā¦
On weekdays I finish work at 6:00 pm because I set my schedule to start at 10:00 am. Then I walk my dog Benny and try to squeeze in yoga for 20-40 minutes if I can manage to not be lazy. I usually eat dinner between 8:00 and 9:00 pm and then I play scent games with Benny if heās being crazy and still has too much energy and I watch YouTube videos. I make sure the windows and doors are locked and turn off any lights, then I water floss, brush my teeth, take a hot bath, languish, wash and moisturize my face, turn on my heated blanket and get into bed by like⦠midnight or 1:00 pm usually. The weekends are pretty much the same without the working part
itās always a bit different and a bit the same, iām trying to be consistent so this is what i do. work ends at around 5 p.m. so iām home at 6. i usually get myself a little treat or go for a walk. then i walk my dog Freddie and then have tea with my family. then this is the part where iām not so consistent. if i have a show iām currently into iāll forget about everything and just watch it until itās midnight. so iām trying not to do that. at around ten iāll have a shower and do my skincare and stuff. then i just go to bed, read or watch something, maybe meditate.
I like to come home from work and eat dinner at like 5:30 go on a little walk Then I like to turn off all the harsh lighting and try not to listen to any sort of music higher than a certain BPM. And then I take a nice long shower and put my pjs on and either journal or read or play guitar. Usually end up falling asleep with the book in my hand so I have one of those little book nightlights that you clip onto the book itself so I donāt have to get up too much to turn off the lights. I donāt really go on my phone or check my messages as soon as I get out of the shower unless itās to change the music Iām listening to (Ichiko Aoba or some soft jazz has been my favs recently). But whatever works for you! I find that winding down hours before sleep has always helped me so i donāt feel rushed in any way.
My dad teases me about how when I was a little kid, my favorite thing to do when I was on the landline phone with somebodyābe it a relative or one of my best friendsāwas to breathlessly describe the things that were in my bedroom so that they could have a mental picture of everything I loved and chose to surround myself with, and where I sat at that moment in time. Perfectly Imperfect reminds me of that so thanks for always listening and for sharing with me too š
