saw a post which was like ‘you don’t need a rebrand or a glow up, your screen time is just too high’ and honestly yeah

the advice "do today 1% better than yesterday" does not work for me because my brain doesn't like the mathematical quantification of my experience and also it makes me feel like i am not doing well-enough. i do not like that it implies being a person is a perfect upwards line.

it is better to say make today 1% better. there are things you can do right now that will make today 1% better than it currently is. it is not being held in competition with your past self nor is it putting pressure on your future self.

it's okay if today is a bad day. you could maybe brush your teeth. you could probably do a 5-minute meditation. you might be able to get a glass of water. for style points you could even attempt to wash your face, even if it's more like splashing around in the sink. raising the type of day by 1% is better than throwing the entire day in the bin.

sometimes you will get to the 1% and that will be the end of your energy, but you did make it 1% better, and it will feel good to have attempted it. sometimes the 1% will roll into 2% which will roll into 50%, which is delightful. 1% is often very-doable. even just shifting your pillows so your neck isn't getting a crick counts as a 1% effort.

there will be days where the 1% will not be doable, and you will actively be fighting yourself from making it worse. that is okay. but one of the things that i have learned from doing this (as someone with impulse control issues) is that i often stop myself and say is this going to make it better or worse? sometimes the answer is worse and i don't care. but sometimes my 1% of effort is actually not doing something. i decide i am too-tired, i shouldn't go out tonight. i decide that i am making a bad choice. i decide to stay-still, and that is my 1%. i am doing better, slowly.

today was a bad day, i struggled to get out of bed. but i just made myself do 3 minutes of yoga. it is barely anything. and let me tell you: i feel fucking excellent.

i love you. i hope you give yourself 1%.

does anyone else feel music so deeply in their soul that half their life revolves around it and it’s the only thing that can truly save you in your darkest moments?

I think my ideal relationship is friends-with-benefits except the only benefits are neck kissing and spooning, is there an app for that?

Sometimes it’s better to let things go and leave people and situations alone. Stop looking for explanations, excuses, closure, validation or answers. Stop living a life centered on what others did or didn’t do. Focus on how you want to feel and what you can do about it. Peace comes when you realize that your happiness was created by you. You are your own responsibility.
