Taking myself out on a date once a week with the intention of recharging and engaging with things im passionate about <3 a practice the book The artist way suggests as a way to nourish our creativity and self expression.
This week I took myself to the movies and watched In The Mood For Love by Wong Kar-Wai 🥲
I started doing this in October and it changed my life. I experience a total reset of my mind and mood - especially when the movie is really good. Though I love going with friends, there’s something therapeutic about enjoying good cinema. I try to allow myself this luxury once a month
May not sound particularly exciting, but there is something about picking a film you want to see, going by yourself, and then getting to walk home by yourself just mulling it over in your head. My favourite solo date activity!
invited some girlfriends over to play a set for us and it was so sweet/wholesome! we always talk about wanting the feel of house parties again, intimate safe settings with close friends and ppl actually dancing <3 this provided that and more, can’t wait for the next one!
Jk, but not really. It helps so much to verbalize my thoughts since I can’t afford therapy atm and it’s a great alternative to dream journaling. it’s nice to listen back and see the changes/growth <3
