cant say ive done it but on a nice day like today it sounds so very nice. ditch work, go to the movies, grab a nice lunch. chill out. it’s like a staycation but also your little secret. why aren’t we doing this more often i feel like you could easily get away with this like 2-3x a year.

When your family is on a trip or something and you have the house to yourself for the day so you just do random things you wouldn’t usually do like watch TV in the family room🦦

and don’t do any errands or cleaning that day, just like set a little budget — get a book and read it in the park with a snack, or take yourself out to coffee / people watch and then go see a movie or two. or go to a museum right when it opens and then get lunch (outside!) for yourself and pick something else to do after. for me, at least one part has to be artistic (book/film/art) and another has to be outside (most important part)
then at the end of the day, find a good spot to watch the sunset and journal about your day and feelings!! it feels better because you’ll be in less of a slump after a nice day and will have a lighter mood to be thinking about what’s up
lastly… go home and do a full shower, do the most relaxing possible version of your nightly routine (and no scrolling social media). if you can, wash your sheets a day or two before and put on a fresh set of PJs that night too… it makes crawling into bed that much better (also bonus points if you meditate before you fall asleep)
i find this (one-day vacation? 12 hr solo date?) is a really nice way to reset my brain when everything is overwhelming or i feel like i’m stuck not doing much besides going through the motions. i tend to do it every few weeks lately and it is surprisingly refreshing ✨

Ok one of the biggest bummers about being a grownup is that you have stupid responsibilities so why not Revenge Flake™️ and just play hooky on random Mondays? Bonus points for spending it doing errands.

0:52 the drum kick patterns switches ever so slightly to match the vocal cadence and it’s so satisfying because it only happens a couple times all song, but this is the first moment.
also the flam right at 3:56 goes so hard.
this whole song is a masterpiece but small choices make it so dynamic.

ie “those mashed potatoes are the truth”
your friends will laugh at you the first time you do this but stick with it.

Recently been just calling up random friends that I haven’t connected with in a long time. I have this association that a cold call from a friend means bad news and I want to rewire that neural pathway one cold call at a time.
