When self care suddenly starts to feel good, you did something absolutly right

[summerrforever]

The Beginning - February 16th

I need to change my life.

My behavior and appearance don't reflect me - my identity. I am sick of it. Summer is coming up and I don't want to spend it anxious and depressed again. I'm done. I will be perfect for summer.

There are a couple things I have in mind for my glow up ? I don't love that word but whatever, it works.

If you care, follow along. If you want to change your life as well: I will document everything here. It will not always be easy but I'm prepared to sacrifice some things for my dream life. You have to have the big picture in mind otherwise you will lose sight of why you're doing it.

I will work on the following things:

Diet, Exercise, Style, Hair, Books, Movies, Studies, and Outings.

I want to have fun but still get stuff done.

I will follow a diet and exercise plan to become more confident and comfortable in my body - if you look good, you'll feel good.

I will work on keeping up with my skincare better, especially now that the UV is growing once again our skin needs more care.

I will get rid of clothes that don't suit me or I don't like and get clothes that are more my style.

I will study better and more efficiently, my dream life is not cheap and a degree is the first step to achieve it.

I will read more again and watch more movies and be less on my phone. Honestly I can feel my brain shrinking when I'm doom scrolling on tiktok and instagram. I hate it. I want to stop.

I will do more fun things outside my home. Seeing friends is important but I don't just want to stay at one of our houses everytime - that gets old real quick.

Living like I live in #theoc is the goal i guess.

Byebye, till next time ;)

I did not do New Year’s resolutions

I’m not doing ‘new year new me’

But I am determined to continue that path of getting my life together, again, because it’s an ongoing project that really never ends.

I know many people are embarking on their own get it together year, and I just want to warn you that you will, and you will feel great, and you will get things done you never thought you could, then life will happen. It might be a flu, it might be a family emergency, it could be a work or school issue, and it isn’t always your direct issue but it will affect you. It will result in stacked up dishes and late deadlines and time at the car repair or any of a limitless number of things.

You may feel like you failed, but you didn’t. That’s life. It’s life for everyone. The point in getting things ready and staying on top of things is that when this thing happens you will be better able to juggle it all.

Everything you do today is one less thing to do tomorrow is wrong too. You will have to do the majority of things over and over and over. You can do all the dishes in the home on Monday and Monday evening and Tuesday morning people will eat and you will have to do them all over again. That also doesn’t mean you failed, it will take less time to do the new stack than doing all of them. You’ll run out of meals and order in, skip workouts, and have to clean the backlog again. That’ normal, it’s ok, and you are still doing great.

I thought that little things at a time was a good approach, focus on a thing, one area of life, one chore, something, and then move to the next when that has been conquered. That did not work for me at all! So now, I’m doing an all at once approach. I am addressing the things that bug me most about each part of my life all at the same time and it will all come together. However, I am still doing the small things approach. 5 minute tasks when I have that long, 2 minute tasks when I don’t, and lists of tiny things to do each day. They stack, they take so little time, and they make a huge difference when I’m at the end of the list.

I’m sharing for a little personal accountability, in case anyone else finds themselves in a similar situation and wants ideas to dig out or just to feel less alone, and because I need to keep writing to keep moving. It’s in my blood, it makes me stronger, braver, and smarter.

Really Bad At This

For real, I'm the worst at this. Wouldn't it be nice if there was a pause button on life so you could get your shit together and then keep going?

I finally cleaned out my email. I only have eleven messages in my inbox.  Is this what it feels like to have your life together?

Step... One?

Okay well... it’s been like two weeks since I decided to actually get my act together... ended up getting bogged down with assignments and uni work instead...... and now I’m just exhausted because the other day I was practically out from 0530-2330... and I still need to finish and submit an assignment that was due a few days ago...

So I guess first things first I’m a realist 🤪 okay okay sorry lol. First things first is for me to get that assignment done tonight. Then worry about the rest of the stuff that’s sorta just piled up on me. Guess that’s the life of a University student for you huh 😅

Mmm maybe I need a checklist of sorts... a to do list. But I’d have to have a few... one with a list of absolutely everything I need to do - hmm I’d have to categorise that too by uni stuff and other kind of stuff that has to get done... and then have a to do list by day so it has some tasks to work towards. That might make that metaphorical pile look less intimidating.

Is swearing gonna get me banned? 🤣 because getting your life into some kind of order seems like a sh*t lot of work... but you know what so does having life that’s all over the place and unorganised.

Hmmm maybe ima work at this in weeks... or months even... making small changes over a period of time... that’s probably going to stick longer than making so many immediate changes at once.

Anyways that’s all from me for now.. I ramble I know 🤣
