Ripples in the Pond

Okay, but THIS.

My therapist only recently understood that when I said, “I don’t know how to make this phone call or make this appointment.” I very literally meant I didn’t know what to do. I can dial the phone, but what do I say EXACTLY? What questions are going to be asked? What do I need to have on hand? What if they ask me something I don’t know the answer to?

I’m one of those people that needs very specific and detailed instructions if I’m doing something for the first time.

Friendly reminder

“Doing your best” does not mean working yourself to the point of a mental breakdown.

this one still smashes me in the face ten times a year. do not ignore pain, it’s no longer your best at that point

It’s the little things….

I know this has been said so many times before…it’s the little things that count most sometimes.

Maybe it’s making your bed (even if it’s right before you crawl in) or washing your face once in a while, it’s refreshing.

It could be as simple as making a cup of tea or picking up that book you’ve been meaning to read for two months.

Just do something that makes you happy every once in a while.

I need solitude; I need to feel I belong to myself. I now begin to think that reading has become my secret life and personal refuge.

Literally do your work as soon as you know it exists. If you get homework, do it during your free or when you get home or on the train if you really want to, on the day you get it. Just got set an assignment? Get the draft done that weekend. It doesn’t have to be amazing and absolutely ready to send in, it just needs to exist. Just got sent an email? Reply when you see it. If you’re not sure how to response to it, write Dear (), leave a gap and then write Regards () and keep that in your drafts. Set a reminder on your computer or write the reminder on a sticky note that you’ve got that sitting in your drafts and you need to send it off in the next 24 hours. Need to clean your room? Don’t spend time thinking or planning how you’re going to clean it or how you’re going to change up the space in the process, just pick stuff up and put it where it should be until everything’s in order. Done. Seriously dude, when a task arises as an issue, tackle it as soon as you realise it exists. Remember, it doesn’t need to be amazing it just needs to be done. So, when the due date of the task creeps closer, you can go back, work with what you have and make it the quality you want it to be.
