Just to add on to this, one thing I really like to do is to replace the habit of reaching for my phone with something else. Right now, it's been replacing mindlessly scrolling with reading a book.

Definitive Guide to Stop Checking Your Phone Compulsively

1. Set Specific Check-in Times – Limit phone checks to designated times, like after a relaxing activity or during breaks.

2. Keep Your Mind Busy – Engage in activities like reading, exercising, listening to music, or creative hobbies.

3. Practice Mindfulness & Breathing – When tempted, take deep breaths and remind yourself of your well-being goals.

4. Remember Your Purpose – Stay focused on your inner peace and personal growth.

5. Redefine Your Focus – Visualize how you want your day to end—calm and fulfilling.

6. Find Alternative Activities – Replace phone-checking with reading, journaling, or relaxing exercises.

7. Create “Phone-Free Zones” – Avoid your phone during meals, walks, or before bedtime to be more present.

8. Use Reminders & Affirmations – Place visible notes or phone reminders like “I choose peace over uncertainty.”

9. Take a Mental Pause – If overthinking, focus on your breath or something positive to regain clarity.

I’ve been enjoying the beginning of spring.

I’ve been on outpatient rotations for the past few weeks and I’ve had more time to do housework, spend time outside, and work on various projects and hobbies. It’s been a much-needed break.

a bit of a vent post i guess

i know exactly what i need to do in order to get a lot of what i want in life: i need to learn how to restructure my brain to enjoy process and not destinations.

the vast majority of my struggles come from endlessly stressing myself through processes in order to get temporarily relief from achieving a goal, which only serves to negatively condition myself to the process while making the goal not even a positive, but rather just the temporary relinquishment of suffering.

it feels like i can't even begin to begin to start. nobody i know seems to have advice that works for this (and it feels unreasonable to even ask them). i dont know what books might help. i dont know anyone who has recognized this and achieved this shift mentally.

i simply have no idea what to do about it and it feels like this has been rotting my life from the insides ever since my childhood. any thoughts would be appreciated.

Once again doing a cumulative post for the past few days of studying. I have been so taken by reviewing for my exam I've barely had enough mental energies to look at my phone, or to keep posting daily journal entries. Since my last one, I have finished my second review of exam materials and started the third and final one. I have also managed to spend quality time with my family, including my brother and his partner, which makes me very happy. Ever since he moved out I have really missed spending time with him, and since lately I have not been in the best place mentally this has done me good. Plus I will also be spending time with them this week, which I am looking forward to. As I have also mentioned in other posts lately, my mental energies have been quite low, so I have been getting most of my daily reading done with audiobooks and graphic novels. I have decided to reread the Deadendia graphic novels for the trans rights readathon, since I decided to momentarily pause my reading of Compound Fracture. I realized it is going to be very very hard emotionally and I am aware right now I'd probably not handle it very well. My Deadendia reread has been so good tho, I have been wanting to reread these for a while and I am having a great time. I also finished the first Emily Wilde audiobook, and ended up getting the whole series because I loved it, and it is the perfect lighthearted fantasy for the mental place I am in right now. I don't need to focus too hard, it's fun and distracting and I am so looking forward to continuing the series.

a big lesson for me was learning that most things are not as fragile as I’d believed. missing a class, or turning in a bad assignment, won’t instantly destroy your professor’s opinion of you. accidentally saying something harsh won’t make your friend want to end the friendship. it takes work to repair these things - it takes effort and research and sometimes a sincere apology - but you can do that because they’re not irreparably broken. what you’ve worked to build, in academia and in relationships and in life, is stronger and more enduring that your mind may teach you to believe. don’t let imagined fragility lead you to giving up

you don’t need perfect conditions to start. you just need to start. five minutes of focus is better than waiting for motivation to come.
