usually when i feel this way it’s because i haven’t showered in a while. that usually makes me feel 50% better.
manually taking care of yourself in general is gonna set you up to feel better. also, just have grace with yourself. go talk to other people. walk or drive to a place you’ve never been to and just explore. break out of the routine!

After you check in with your doctor or therapist to make sure things are good, the next best thing is to get out of your environment or routine.
Plan a weekend trip, visit another country, if you’re in the city, go to the mountains, and vice versa. When you feel like nothing brings you joy, that’s when you really have to make yourself go out and do new things, even if you don’t feel like it. Maybe sign up for a new class, go to a museum, volunteer at an animal shelter.
Also: make sure you’re getting enough sleep, going outside, seeing friends/family regularly, and eating relatively well! Sleep alone has a huge impact on how I feel.

Gives you a little more clarity and makes self-improvement less daunting. These sensations, tactile or mental, lets you pay attention to your body, your needs, and meeting such needs. It's a specific action that encourages you to be kinder and gentler to yourself, to take your time. You can do this in baby steps-- smell the fresh, warm laundry and recognize the care you put in to give yourself something nice and clean to wear, hug a friend a little tighter and longer after a really nice day together, write down a song lyric that speaks to you and explain why it does, cry a little louder when you're especially sad.. don't deny yourself emotion! Feeling all of these minute details of your everyday life will remind you of your core values and guide you to what activities and other things you can invest yourself in to make your life more than it was before.

i wanna say 1-2 times a year, i go through everyone i follow in my socials and unfollow anyone who i dont gaf about. and it reveals a lot about how ive changed and grown as a person. i unfollowed a lot of people from high school and it made me feel like a bad person, but there was just no reason to follow them. don’t wish ill will to anyone, just don’t gaf
and i also changed my phone aesthetic and i enjoy looking at something new :)
now i need to go through almost 9k photos…

a couple of my friends shared some photos from their childhood and high schools days and i started sobbing…like really hard. this was all over text thankfully
what got me was being able to see their facial features in their childhood photos and now every time i look at them i think of them as a little baby and i think about how much i want to hold them and. ugh. i might cry again

i keep as little on me as humanly possible, which has resulted in my downfall haha.
though i am a student so i also carry a backpack with me, which other than my laptop, hard drive, journals, and writing utensils, is mostly trash.
i appreciate a pair of pants with deep pockets
oh, also occasionally some 🍃
