Rec | SEASONS ARE FRUSTRATING

🎡

i dislike that we can't count on time to always feel the same. obviously there's no changing that but how am i supposed to come up with a routine that works for me in all seasons ??? i want to be able to count on sunlight, to expect it and expect a day to feel like a day. then, maybe i could feel happier in owning how i change from day to day. what is the answer to experiencing ?

accepting seasons as they are is giving in to the cycle of life. spring is a birth, summer a peak, fall a celebration of abundance, and winter is a death. the seasons can be found every day, morning as spring to winter as a small death every night (sleep lol). also menstrual cycles 4 distinct phases can be represented with the seasons. seasons are so extremely embedded in our souls and bodies as humans, even if we live where they are not pronounced. accepting seasons also helps us come to terms with death and accepting the ends of cycles and even seeing them as just as beautiful as the beginnings. because after every winter, there comes a spring!

PHASES IN LIFE

sometimes i get frustrated when i’m at a low point in drive, inspiration, or general productivity, but phases— highs, lows, and in betweens— are an inevitable feature of life. wouldn’t it be mundane if things were perfect all the time, if we didn’t have something to strive for. there are phases where i listen to music nonstop, phases when i’m into podcasts. phases when i work out and cook for myself, and phases when i eat out every day. phases when i want to go out every night and phases where i just want to be alone. a life lived cyclically is not a life i want to live, and i think at a point we need to allow ourselves to be in the off phases in order to succeed in the great ones. i’m trying to be better to not beat myself up when i’m not at my very best, because how can we be expected to maintain perfection in a world of constant change. ”only a dark cocoon before i get my gorgeous wings and fly away, only a phase” - joni mitchell

one day at a time

with so many unknowns in this & every stage of life (at 30 years old it still hasn’t stopped), the best thing that has helped me is to try to live one day at a time. rather than focusing on some big, distant, ambitious goal, i bring myself back to the present so i don’t miss my actual life. give yourself things to look forward to & focus on connecting with people. remind yourself of what brings you joy or improves your mood somehow & do more of that each day. think of it as a gift to future you to make their day better. make a list you can refer to on grey days if that helps. tackle it with others if you feel stuck or overwhelmed. remember you’re allowed to try things out & make adjustments & mistakes. it’ll be cool to look back & see how everything played out.

Change your perception

I also used to (and still) struggle with routines and consistency. I think I perceive routines as behaviours and actions that curb my freedom and I hate that. So recently I stopped calling it routines and started thinking of certain behaviours as rituals that I do to enrich my life. Strangely it's made me look forward to doing them and there's no pressure or shame if I forget to do it one time. A ritual is special and additive. A routine is just so blah. Also just accept you suck at routines and aim for continuation rather than consistency. To err is to be human, but what matters is that we continue doing it.

celebrating daylight savings

i'd be lying if i said today (dst) i wasn't so happy with the clock change. now, i'm no fan of the unnecessary hassle... but i love sunlight!! today i was 21 and i cut up tomatoes and had so much fun, taking in this strange new sunlight as the daffodils wilted and i thought about last night, when we all went clubbing. yes to longer days!!
