this is only a habit i have picked up in the last year, but it has made a world of difference. i will write about things that i am thinking about or stuff i need to do or just chronicle my day. i just find it very grounding or like a reset to my thought processes.

this is one of the most healing and stress reducing habits i have. basically when your worries are swirling nonstop in your head... just write them down in your special book and then close it and put it somewhere out of sight! u will feel a huge weight lifted just having your thoughts in the form of words somewhere external!
it is so therapeutic to spend time with the words/thoughts and give them form as well as a place to be.
personally i only journal when i really need to and try not to force myself into a regimen because then i wont do it lol.
i rely on this practice very much and it really helps me!! β₯

i know it's basic but keeping a daily journal has been one of the most grounding things in my life. you don't need to shell out $$$ on a travelers' notebook and a snazzy pen, but just repeating the daily act of physically writing your thoughts down is a wonderful thing. i keep a daily recollection/diary sort of thing along with a sort of freeform commonplace book where i jot down thoughts or lyric ideas or cool words i read and had to look up definitions of. it's nerd shit but the sort of positive affirming nerd shit that everyone needs at least a little bit of. also the amount of stuff you forget over the course of a week/month/year is astounding -- doing this is fun in part because you can read through your past entries (good and bad) again with fresh eyes.

i only journal when i feel like i actually need to - if i had a good day that i want to remember the details of, or if i'm having a hard time emotionally and need to vent my feelings. i don't force myself or set a routine in order to avoid autopilot mode.
once i started thinking of journalling like that as opposed to a habit i needed to keep up with, i actually started doing it more frequently!! made me really take notice of what i'd like to write about/remember in my days!!

i feel like social media has made us so self-aware of our actions/habits/behaviors. we are thinking of what is cool or trendy or desirable. we are too afraid to be cringe! to be stupid! to be lame!
the best community i have found is the people who are not afraid to like what they like & are proud of it. do the stuff you always wanted to try. the people will follow.

something about cooking is just so peaceful. monotonous and obligatory, sure, but itβs just a little sliver of calmness in my day that reminds me of when i did it with my mom or my dad or my grandmother. i now love to cook for myself but especially for other people
