eating half of it right away, then keeping the other half for later. I usually forget about it immediately, so rediscovering it later is an euphoric experience.
heavily overdone and meme-ified but never underestimate the value of having a little stash of your favourite goodies you can tuck away and then remember about when you least expect it! my favourite part, especially since i tend to forget about them, is remembering i have them, and then being reminded of how when i was picking them out, i was thinking of how future me might need a pick-me up, or might want to share some with a friend to cheer them up. it can make going to the convenience store and buying junk food into an act of self-care and to me i think that that is magical
no multitasking, just enjoy the treat and take your time with it. also tell yourself that it’s a treat. personally i find that it’s a great way to practice appreciation and stop myself from overindulging :)👍
I am taking journalling seriously. It makes me feel cared for, pampered almost. I‘m taking my brain and wringing out all the thoughts onto a slab of paper. It’s also beneficial to the folks around me so they don’t have to put up with as many rants. My thoughts need to be extruded one way or another, and journalling has the added benefit of existing as a document that can be reviewed later.
I was introduced to the sport by some friends on Thursday last week. I think it’s the purest and most honest form of combat. There’s all this fascinating pageantry before and after every fight. The bouts themselves are usually 5-10 seconds max, but they’re the most intense 5-10 seconds you’ve ever experienced. Some of them can be quite brutal. The best part is learning about the fighters themselves as they are all adorable giants. In the upper divisions, fighters wear a special ceremonial apron called keshō-mawashi that can have any design on the front. This guy has one with a shiba inu that has the same eyebrows as him on it. I can’t believe I’m only now finding out about sumo.
