26.08.19 ⭐ A day in green aesthetics

Started the day with some work. It's not officially a work day but there were so many mails waiting for me and I had to some preparation for tomorrow's meeting

Got a lot done in two hours with the help of Pickett!

I did some reading in the hammock outside. The weather is perfect for relaxing in the shade!

I suddenly felt the urge to draw! It made me so happy to create something again for my own enjoyment without rules or goals.

Tomorrow is going to be a full day at the office and I hope I'll be able to wrap my mind around all the things I have on my plate right now. I'm go end the night with a little bit more reading and maybe some Netflix.

Day 14/50 days of happiness

I went shopping with my mom + sis and one of the things I got was this beauty. Do I need more books? No. Do I regret this purchase? Definitely not. (In my defense, I left most books in the book store)

23.08.19 ⭐ I made this bujo spread for the 50 days of happiness challenge I've been doing. Some days happiness is everywhere and sometimes it's hiding, but there is a little bit of light in even the darkest day (which is why I added the Dumbledore quote)

47/50 days of happiness

I haven't been good at posting pictures of my happiness challenge, but I have been journalling it and it's almost coming to an end. Can't believe I was able to keep it up!

Today I made two Shades of Magic themed t-shirts. That is, I embroidered some text on it. I have never embroidered anything before so I am quite pleased with how they turned out!

I was also able to finish my audiobook while working on this, which was definitely a bonus.

1/50 days of happiness: aquarel painting

There are many hobbies I'd like to pick up, but I am scared to do it because I have to start from zero and accept to suck at it. Today I saw @aidenstudies's post on the "100 days of being happy challenge" and it felt like a sign for me to finally give watercolour painting a shot again. This is one of my favourite doodling topics: my plant. It was so nice to do something with no purpose other than my own enjoyment! Tag me in your happiness posts! (#itsesther)

Day 2-6/50 days of being happy

Day 2, compliment: There was a certain task that I thought I promised do in one week but my supervisor thought I promised to do in 3 weeks, so she was pleasantly surprised and complimented me on how much I had already accomplished.

Day 3, donuts: I went out with a close friend I haven’t been able to see a lot lately because we’ve both been busy. We had donuts and the weather was great.

Day 4, social: I had drinks with the other PhD students today after work. I am not a drinks ot socialise kind of person (I’d rather go home and read or write), but I did it anyway because I know social activities like this keep me mentally healthy in the long run. It turned out lots of fun!

Day 5, reading: Finished “The Archived” by V. E. Schwab. This book has been the highlight of every day in the previous week. I discovered Schwab quite recently and completely fell in love with her writing style.

Day 6, bed: I was not feeling great today so I spent quite some time in bed. There was something nice about being curled up in a blanket with a book.
