making lists of things i want to do when im sad, then stop being sad and never doing that things. next time im sad im making a new list with the same things!!!💆🏼♀️
recently going through getting over the love of my life (lol) and i have been trying to do this thing where every time i feel like i am going to be alone for the rest of my life, similar thoughts along those lines and end up just getting really really sad, i make lists. Lists of the things i need to do, i want to do, things i never did before and can do now. i also remember i was having a bad spell of losing a lot of my things and the breakup hit me during this time so I made a list of all the bad things that happened to sort of complain which is when my friend recommended me to make a list of the good things
so now my favourite list is “good things are always happening to me” which is basically noting down something nice that happened daily and i think that really helps on days that i feel really disappointed and hopeless.
my good friend charlotte makes lists for all things i adopted this habit myself and i now can’t live without my to do list but its so much more than a to do list i have a list of creative endeavors i wish to achieve one day a list of places i want to go to in the city a list of upcoming events a list of things i need to buy a list of things i want to remember to tell someone the list goes on
not just to do’s, but those too! i keep running lists of things. Like, “things my bestie somehow doesn’t know about“ and “things i like about my partner“ and “this would make a good gift“ i always come back to my lists, and i am always delighted by what i find
