You don't need to feel so much shame all the time. You're allowed to struggle, you're allowed to take breaks, you're allowed to be kind to yourself. Let yourself be <3.

120 Days of Glowing Up - Day 5

I believe this is both a terrible way to start such a challenge but also a perfect lesson. I started on day 1 and forgot about this challenge until today... day 5.

I've been reading Atomic Habits and it has taught me to be gentler with myself and to let go of the expectation of constant perfection. I was tempted to delete my original post and start over, aiming for a flawless run. But I realised that if I allowed myself to reset every time I missed a day, I'd likely fall into a cycle—forgetting a day, deleting my progress, starting again, and repeating. I also don't want to contribute to the image of perfection of people online, I don't want to pretend to be someone I'm not, to make people think it is so easy to change, that they shouldn't be struggling because I'm not. Instead, I'm choosing to embrace the imperfections and stick with it.

If the goal is to be 1% better every day, I can certainly say I have been successful.

That sinking feeling as it gradually but irresistibly becomes clear that the author regards the character you find shockingly relatable as comedy relief, and that what the text presents as the impossible confluence of grotesque circumstances which resulted in the character in question being Like That is recognisable to you as your life.

これもCOOLPIX8400で撮ったけど、勝手に発光モードになっていたのか、えらい暗くなったため、精一杯記憶に近い明るさまで調整。

以前、御朱印を頂いた際、筆の邪魔をしようとして注意されてた猫ちゃんかも。

120 Days of Glowing Up

The university year is over and I have decided that I would like to start forming some habits that aren't study related. I think this break is a great time to focus on myself and create some habits that serve me and my self-care journey. I started this blog as a fresh start, to give myself somewhere to be myself and also become a better version of myself. The new university year starts on February 28th 2025, which is exactly 120 days away from now!

Habits I would like to focus on:

~ Journal every morning and night

~ Pull a tarot card most nights

~ Do my skincare routine everyday (includes my body)

~ Do Duolingo everyday

~ Reach 10,000 steps daily

~ Wake up at 8:30 at the latest

~ Drink 2L of water everyday

~ Read everyday

~ Make my bed every morning
