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

- 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

whenever i start to Feel Real Bad i delete all the social media apps on my phone and i force myself to go outside into nature more, see other people, and read easy/shorter books (that arenāt sad). i journal to get any bad feelings out and to help think through why iām in a funk. i clean my sheets and try to not be in my bed from 10am-9pm. i paint my nails. i dance in my room. i try to switch up my routine, and also put more effort into my outfits and fun makeup (personally it makes me feel more functional). i donāt have a therapist right now (working on it!) but talking to one usually helps me. i go to people i trust for advice, bc sometimes the funk comes from feeling overwhelmed. i also try to listen to lots of fun music like house music and indie pop. iām not great at doing all of these things each time but a combination of them usually does the trick for me !

tried reading dante alighieriās inferno. key emphasis on tried. i got bored and realised a story written in poem form is not my typa beat.
i tried because it seemed like what all the indie hipsters who are well versed would read, and that i would look cool and nicheābut it just cost me $25.
i prefer crazy detailed paragraphs rather than a line by line story.
anyways

saying āiām sickā when youāre sick is boring.
instead, here are some more funky fresh and cool ways to disclose that your immune system has been highjacked (itās time to revive these sayings from the dead!):
āi am indisposedā
āi am taken illā
āi am feeling out of sortsā
āi am suffering from a bilious attackā
āi have been seized by an agueā
āi am afflicted with a malaiseā
āi have taken to my bedā
āthe vapours have overcome meā
āi have a touch of the influenzaā
āthe rheumatism plagues meā
āi am laid low with a feverā
āi am afflicted with a troublesome ailmentā
youāre welcome
