2 days in one !

Done my piano.

Currently trying to learn by heart all the major arcana of a tarot deck. So interesting ^^

Having a good reading routine !

You don't see this but trying to eat and sleep well (9 hours minimum) and I feel the difference.

Just taking one day at a time with little victories !

June 1st, Monday

I've walk 15 000 steps today enjoying nature.

Do my journaling this morning with a vietnamese egg coffee 🥰.

Prepare two bottles of water blue moon ^^

Play my piano for 20 minutes : it was perfect.

And read a little bit.

It's a beginning !

Modelled after the gracious @learnelle's April Days of Productivity challenge, I propose June Days of Productivity.

My semester has concluded, yet there remains so many things that, without the illusion of expectation and structure motivating me to put in the work, would probably go untouched (unread books, pdfs wasting away in the Downloads folder, hobbies neglected in favour of daydreaming…). Whether you feel the same, need a push to get through the last month of your own semester, or just feel up to the challenge, I invite you to tag along.

The idea is simple:

Compile your June goals into one post, then mark each item as desired upon completion. This is mine.

Tag all your posts #june days of productivity, that way we can find each other. Daily, weekly, and sporadic updates are all acceptable.

Starting 1st June, do one thing every day to bring you closer to achieving your goals, however minor it might be. Rest is productive! So is connecting with nature, one's friends, family and pets.

Enjoy the journey! You can't fail as long as you are having fun.

On 30th June, we can congratulate ourselves for our dedication.

Additionally, I encourage everyone who participates to reflect on their month as it progresses. Pay attention to your habits and choices, what works and what might not, whether you are pushing yourself farther than you ought to or can stand to push yourself more, and so forth.

Reblog this post to spread the word, and comment with any questions that may arise.

Some picture of the week-end !

😇 Trying to walk 10 000 steps each day in park (because we cannot all of us be green witches living in a cottage... An to be honest I prefer big cities 😆).

🏵 Enjoying a light festivity (lammas is here *.*).

🔮 And working on my grimoire more seriously. It helps me reconfigure my beliefs and things I don't believe at all. For example, I'm not a wicca for sure. I am not also a deities believer at all. And astrology is a mystery for me. I don't have to feel guilty of that. If something does not speak to me, it is what it is. Life is too short... !

🃏 And pulling the Star as the card of the week-end indicates I'm not wrong ✨️
