✨ Getting my life together ✨

to be very honest, i've been feeling kinda awful this last couple of weeks, and i haven't been able to do anything but stress over exams and complain about my life. today this will end.

So here's a hopeful but realistic list of habit's I'll try to implement

🏋🏾‍♀️ 1: Im going to start working out again.

Not everyday at first, and i still have to understand if it works better for me to work out in the morning or at night. Ideally im going to rotate between: arms/abs workouts, youtube ballet classes (there's a youtuber that seems to have great adult ballet videos, and its a chill way for me to work out), and hopefully going on walks on fridays, since i have the morning off, when it's not raining.

🫗2 : Im going to do the dishes right after i use them

i dont even hate doing the dishes, i dont know how i accumulate so many shit. But i do, and then i have no clean dishes and that makes me not want to cook, and delay eating lunch and stuff like that. SO DO YOUR DISHES!!!

💊 3: im gonna go to the pharmacy to get my meds and actually take them

self explanatory, ive been super anxious about taking my adhd meds, since im going to try to take a more intense dose than im used to, and i was a bit scared bc of side effects but my friend has already calmed me down a bit about it

🖋️ 4. Im goint to try to post more regularly and journal more

4.1. Post more regularly

It helps me get excited and motivated about studying, so self explanatory

4.2. Journalling

Everything is being so weird rn. My friends are acting so weird, two of them are basically ignoring me, and other two are acting super shitty towards me and another friend. It's super messy, and we don't know why everyone is being off, so i think i need to let all this negativity out of my system and reflect about this, and see if i could also be in the wrong in this situation

🧹 5. Im going to be more organized, and try to keep my room tidied

💖 6. Im going to try to spend more time with people that actually recharge my energy, instead of people that just stress me more and make me more upset

📜 7. Im going to try new places to study, since my usual ones haven't been working as well for me

and there's more to go, but i don't want to be too optimistic, Im going to be happy if I actually manage to keep half of those for more than a week lol

Me: Ah, yes! I’m finally getting my shit together :D

The nefarious fan:

[diary0fahopelessromantic]

Going to sleep earlier. Drinking more water. Reading more. Hygiene. Spending less time on my phone. Studying. Protecting my peace. Socializing. Putting effort into my appearance every day. Bettering myself.

end-of-semester reset / rejuvenation

🌸 how i want to spend my break so it's productive, restful, and rejuvenating... 🌸

clear and clean all the surfaces and things i use that should be cleaned!! (e.g. desk, piano top, night table, water bottle [try to get into the habit of washing it every day 💧], washroom)

vacuum

get outside as much as possible. the soul needs fresh air 🌬️🥺

all the tasks i planned for the rest of the december study challenge (note to self: see journal index)

back up my files

digital clean-up (e.g. delete unnecessary files from desktop, unsubscribe from things i don't read)

fix the closet mess and organize it for winter ❄️

all. the. laundry.

change bedding

work on figuring out a proper wind down routine that works for me (ideally it should start after dinner and gradually decrease in stimulation level 😅)

fix! my! sleep schedule! (i have 2 weeks to move my wake time from 9am to 8am...or a few minutes before bc i hate the sound of zesty's alarm which nearly always wakes me up with a start 🚨😂 )

journal to answer these questions for 2024: where is my life going? where do i want it to go? what milestones should i be setting for myself? what should i prioritize? (i.e. setting/revising my goals)

set up bujo for next year and figure out how i'm gonna keep track of all the things i wanna do

read a short article on moral philosophy so i have a better idea of what i would be getting into if i take a course on it...

read a vaccinology article

Getting my shit together, DAY 2

There wasn't ALOT of progress today . I had tuition all day so I had to attend those

Next up my mom told me some nasty things and I cried about it instead of studying, which is fair because it is important to let your emotions out.

After my very last class I did some homework and now I'm off to sleep .

Couldn't practice my instrument today so I'll make up for it tomorrow.

Good night moots:)

Day 14 of getting my sh!t together

It's day 14 and I feel lighter and healthier, although I've a long way to go. My high cortisol levels make it harder for me to lose weight so it can get really demotivating sometimes. However, since I've started posting here, I've felt a nudge to do better every day. The euphoria that comes with making better choices, and saying no to your favourite chocolates and beverages even though they are sitting right in your refrigerator hits differently. I do eat when I feel like but that too in moderation. I was craving ice cream yesterday, so I ordered this tub of mini bon bon bites which are like 22 calories each. I had one after lunch and after dinner. It's all about balance. 🥰

Here's what I ate today:

Breakfast:

Black coffee

Lunch:

I tried this chicken rice bowl yesterday that I saw on YouTube. I made the rice with brown rice and also added a lot of lettuce, cucumber, onions (the original recipe had only lettuce and cherry tomatoes). Added a generous amount of greek yoghurt dressing and sriracha. It was so easy to make and came together very easily. If you want the recipe, message me, I'll send you the link.

Evening Snack:

Black Coffee

Dinner:

I wasn't feeling hungry for dinner. I had like a couple of spoons of yoghurt left and tofu from yesterday, mixed the tofu in the yoghurt with some spices and cooked it in the pan without any oil,by sprinkling water. Tasted pretty bomb though.

Dessert:

2 of these bites like mentioned

Here's the song recommendation for the day

Consistency Sunday

As an exercise to strengthen my discipline, I am creating a week-long challenge each Sunday outlining a particular daily habit I want to accomplish for the next seven days. My goal is to allow these baby steps to build on each other without becoming completely overwhelmed by so many drastic changes at once. Keep reading for more details and to follow along yourself!

Week 2: My second micro-goal is to begin each morning with at least 25 grams of protein.

Benefits to front-loading protein at the beginning of the day:

Energy & Appetite - Helps avoid that mid-morning crash and keeps you feeling satisfied longer.

Healthy skin and hair - Protein provides the essential amino acids required to synthesize collagen, which is a major key to great hair, skin, & nails (not to mention joints and connective tissues).

What I'm doing:

Hormone health - Adequate protein intake helps ensure your body's ability to regulate the various hormone peaks throughout your monthly cycle.

I'm not much of a morning person, so to meet this goal I will be utilizing a few different quality protein shakes, and may throw in a scrambled egg or two some mornings if I'm feeling ambitious. Overall, a simple protein-dense breakfast is easy to add to my morning routine for this week, and I hope to feel a positive shift in my overall energy levels throughout the day that motivates me to continue fueling my body with quality nutrients first thing in the morning.

As always, I invite you to join me in this slow and mindful journey to living my best life on a daily basis, one week at a time. Feel free to let me know if you are tackling the same habit alongside me, reblog and add your own micro-challenge for the week, or drop an ask to share some ideas for future Sundays!

finally fucking organized my bookshelf so instead of books in random piles they're now in slightly less random groups in their little cubbys

It’s never too late to start again. Time is an illusion

[studentbyday]

sometimes feeling like a mess >> desire for drastic change >> the urge to make big plans and trackers for each of them in my bujo that i will once again ignore bc on second thought they don't actually line up with what i really want

reminder to myself that instead of giving into that urge, sometimes you just gotta sit on it

[takenbykloud]

a bit more productive today compared to the past few days. not much but im patting myself on the back 🧿️ photos via pinterest.
