Iāve been feeling kinda down about my physical appearance for the past month (but really, letās be real, for the past few years) and Iām stuck home for the holidays w/o a gym membership so Iāve been relying on my sister but now sheās sick. So I have been feeling really lazy.
Iāve been trying to take care of myself in other ways. I have started a better skincare routine and taking medicine for my acne. I am drinking only water, and trying to eat healthy meals, but Iāve been failing in the snacking department. I am trying to be more food conscious.
Iāve journaled a lot about my goals for this year. Its my first year in my 20s and there are a lot of bad habits and mindsets I want to work on so I can stop making myself suffer all the time.
Well thats it.

ā· make new friends / nurture the smaller scale friendships I do have ā this one sounds a bit pathetic but itās been a rough year! its too hard out there to feel lonelyĀ
ā· make the effort to go to exhibitions ā especially those by my friends, and share photos, hype them up, I value that so much when people do it for me as weird as it feels to want the attentionĀ

ā· I used Daylio (mood tracker) for over 365 days between 2023 - 2024 but gave up when I got too busy ā Iād like to start that again in 2025 because tracking my moods was good for me to remember that I havenāt Always Been SadĀ

apparently i have the mentality of a five year old so i need to call myself out so i can move on and stop being petty
these are my toxic traits:
- really liking something until it becomes popular, and then i hate it because āi was there firstā. like???? be tf fr im an adult donāt act like that
- not wanting to do smth or getting snappy because im overstimulated. the real world doesnāt cater to me or my feelings so i need to get a GRIP
- getting distracted easily or having my mind wander off when someone is talking to me. that needs to literally stop because i find myself doing it too much at work
- ghosting people unintentionally. i forget people message me too often because i get too caught up in my own thoughts
- being lazy to catch up with friends.
- not being mentally disciplined. this is a BIG one. the minute i have an inkling that i dont want to do smth most times than not i will find myself not doing it. i need to push though and just do it
- not wanting to leave the house after 9pm or not wanting to stay out later than 9pm (which is usually my sit in bed and chill until i sleep around 10 time) my friends invite me out to bars and such (which is not an environment i am fond of) but i need to remind myself theyāre inviting me because they want to spend time with me and and value my company. i need to SUCK IT UP
- going to beach days (i hate the beach) for the same reasons as above
- i need to read more. iām going to start finding books with less than 150 pages to try and get my mind back into being active and discipled. i need to work on my attention span, social media has ruined it.
- avoiding all apps that involve doom scrolling, i have an obsessive behaviour and one i start i wont stop
- being too lazy to dress nicely for casual occasions. i need to take more pride in my appearance
- i dont take the gym seriously enough. i have no back muscles and when i grow old, and if i do nothing about my lack of back muscles, i will become an old woman with a very big hunch back
- i donāt eat proper meals and i usually just snack. this is a very big one for me and i need to work on my nutrition
- i need to spend less time on my phone. i think i might start leaving my phone at home and just take my bank card with me so i can have some proper screen off time
now that ive called myself out publicly i need to work on these things and i think my life will change for the better

I watched Gladiator 2 the other day. I thought it would be more of a bro movie but I actually really enjoyed it. I havenāt seen the first one, but I didnāt really need to in order to understand what was happening.
