#Daily Check In

[angel-dustspo]

Hi there! I recently came across your blog and was truly inspired with your dedication to making the best version of yourself so I decided to make my own daily log too!

I've only done it for 2 days so far but I was wondering...what do you do instead of going on your phone😭? Rn it's holidays for me so my screen time has been really bad and I'm looking for ways to improve it. 🙏

Hiii, thank you so so so much for your kind words, they mean so much to me!!! I'm so glad I was able to inspire you and make you wish to become better everyday, that's the whole point of my blog and I'm so glad I get to help people through it!!

I always say in my posts that my screen time isn't high, but by screen time I only mean how much time I spend on social media. Scrolling is out of the question and I don't do that at all anymore, so it's just chatting what I log on here. But that's not all, because my screen time is high every day too. I use my phone for so many more reasons, and I also end up spending most of my free time on it, it's just that I don't use it for scrolling or wasting my time (mostly, not always). I post on here, I do my school work or research, I watch a movie or a youtube video and all sorts of things like that, and the screen time could add up to 5-7 hours on a school day and like 10 on holidays. Nobody has it all figured out, so please don't pressure yourself into completely not using your phone because it's not going to end well.

To be honest, I don't even know what I do besides using my phone hahah. My main hobby is my blog and that takes a lot of my time usually, but I also do my Duolingo and watch inspiring videos and anything like that, so I'm probably always using it (for doing something productive or helpful).

When I don't use my phone, I mostly do school work bcs I'm in my final year and I have to study a lot for my exams. My favourite hobby is reading, and when I don't have homework to do I can read up to 200 pages a day (like 3-4 hours), but I also love listening to music, painting, playing video games (which I actually do everyday haha), baking and cooking. I also spend a lot of my time doing sport and walking and just that alone can take me multiple hours of a day.

Other ideas are journaling or scrapbooking, cleaning your room, redecorating, writing posts on here, learning an instrument/a language, researching, learning how to crochet, going shopping or thrifting, picking up a type of exercise classes or a sport, hanging out with friends, and again learning how to cook for yourself is such a game changer and everybody should practice that.

I hope you got some new ideas about spending your time now and that I was able to help you! Good luck on your self improvement journey, I know you got this and I'm so extremely proud of you!!!! <333

How to start your day on a positive note:

- drink your water as soon as you wake up and take any vitamins/medicines so avoid forgetting them

- i find that sitting up or propping myself up helps me not to fall back asleep in the mornings and stay productive

- set a list of realistic goal or expectations for the day - don’t push yourself - i use MinimaList and i love it

- open your shades and let natural light into the room

- surround yourself with positive energy whether that be reading a book, or watching a youtube video that grounds you

- meditation always helps to centre myself for the day or yoga and stretching

- fuel your body - if your like me and don’t like eating in the mornings try a smoothie or yogurt

- get some fresh air - whether that’s opening a window, drinking your coffee outside or going for a walk

- deal with any small tasks in the morning to help deal with the workload and focus on longer tasks

- do your skincare routine and brush your teeth - keep clean !

- pick an outfit you feel comfortable and happy in and that makes you feel your best

- take deep breaths and practice steady breathing

- be kind to yourself mentally and physically your body is doing so many amazing things nurture it

thanks for reading <3

Went on a long long walk today! Around 7 miles/11 km

I haven’t shown off but I put a few more rows on the body of my sweater today :)

EDIT- also! I sent off an application for a cashier position! It’s a part time gig and not quite what I’m looking for in a job but it’s a walkable distance and closes at 3pm so I think it’s a nice temp job to get me to wake up earlier and get a little cash

Day 50, 30.12.2024

Experimenting with backgrounds for my project. I want it to be simple and cartoony, but I also it has to suit the style I chose for characters 😭😭

so I was copying backgrounds from cartoons, not even sure which ones, just found pictures I liked on piterest and tried drawing them in a slightly different style

the first attempt was more sketchy, ended up NOT liking it

then I tried this kind of lineart and loved it then.... I was battling the issue of drawing trees and stuff. I'm still conflicted about when to use the lineart and when I can go of it

but in the end I decided that it's my art and I can do whatever the hell I want with it >:)

I was also supposed to settle on Vincent design, I didn't. I made this quick sketch but I dunno, I don't feel it

and I figured out the whole damn plot! the day was supposed to be more productive, but in the end it's not too bad

here are references I used:

Today’s Cozy Reading & Journaling Nook 🪻🏠🌜🐈‍⬛

I’m so proud of myself! I’ve been on a roll as far as progress is concerned! I’ve been consistently reading two different books and transferring annotations to a third. I’m becoming a kindle girlie haha! And I love my Form journal. It makes everything better and more organized. I start off every day by writing in it! It has a slot for intentions, freeing your mind of clutter, and a to-do list.

Day 36, 16.12.2024

I tried my best ok??? I should really make them look more like actual buildings and not just random blocks with windows but I'm still VERY proud of myself. I've been avoiding stuff like this of my life fr.

I had to start over a couple times cuz I started with a lineart and it just wasn't working out. So, I decided to just skip it and block in colors. it... worked? I guess. Looks like environment from some simple cartoon. Love it and hate at the same time, it's ugly af but I DID IT!!!

I think I'll revisit it later this week and add in some lines, maybe do something on their roofs

(reference photo + my attempts at understanding it)

Sorry about my face on your dash, I guess? Today’s post is a reminder for myself to start doing makeup again, probably my biggest goal. Makeup was like my life as a teenager, and with life and time, I just slowly have less and less over the years. And honestly, I’m sad about it, think about it all the time. It’s my favorite form of art and it makes me feel good about myself as well. Next goal I’m setting for myself: do more makeup.
