Find ways to independently make money (selling art, learning to fix things, growing food, etc.) so you don't get stuck working for a corporation that will take all your time and energy, leaving you less able to care for yourself and your friends and family, and do other things.

This is not so easy for me in the Monasterie. I have taken a vow... Josef did not agree with the vow. That disagreement is why he keeps his pied a terre. I have visited him on more than one occasion to say, "Josef, we have made a promise." "Este es mi vida," he said to me, on the last occasion. We were sitting on his balcony overlooking the Salumeria. "My life is my own." "You made a vow," I repeated. He refilled my water glass and called down to a woman on the street. Her name was Carolina, he told me. "Carolina will have my child soon. And what will my vow do for him?" "We have ways of handling this," I said. "Please, come back with me to France." I write now from the local convent. The brothers have treated me well here. There are six cows and the milk is fresh. I have just paused to take a drink and wipe my lip. The showers, I am told, are new. Soon I'll be ready to take one. We will see what Josef says tomorrow.

Just look at the items even try them, you like it ? Thats a motivation point to be able to save up for it for the next sale season etc..) - if you work or use your laptop to study, use the internet to make it more fun ( ex : search how you can navigate your mail box without using your mouse - search how you can write a whole email without touching the mouse - make your tables colorful - try a new style of writing - etc …) - after work/school, dont go straight home, walk a bit, discover anything “new” around you. - before school/work, try to wake up earlier, get pretty for yourself, skin care routine, shower a bit longer, make your fav breakfast, walk slow to ur destination.. - ask around if u can do any volunteer work in your city. - join a book club - join a craft club

- going to bed & waking up early. no screen time right before sleeping or right after waking up either - doing something creative every day, even if i only have the energy to manage a sentence in my journal or something. i've had a horrible creative block for months and i think the answer is just to force it - prioritizing myself & my needs/wants over others. no more spreading myself too thin or neglecting what's right for me bc it's wrong for someone else in my life - saying yes to things!!! - taking my usual at home activities out of the house - writing at a cafe, etc
