this is one of this annoying things that actually makes a difference and makes your mom say I told you so. there's something about a made bed that makes me feel like my life is just that little bit more together and getting into a made bed at night is one of my top 10 favorite mundane experiences.
Along with keeping a water carafe next to your bed and linen spray, making your bed every morning is one of the most effective and underestimated things for maintaining good sleep hygiene, which is so important! I will never understand people who don't make their bed because it's just going to become unmade again (it took years of patient positive reinforcement training to get my boyfriend to stop being like this.) Making your bed as soon as you get up is not only empowering and gets your day off to a productive startβ look, you've only been awake for five minutes and you've already accomplished something! β but evening you will be grateful to morning you for allowing you the luxurious experience of slipping into a properly made bed every night.
Last summer I finished my masters degree in Library Science, a field completely different to what I studied in undergrad and have been doing in my career since. I was so afraid of making the leap and leaving my current job that I put off looking for a library job until I graduated.When I finally started searching I was terrified of the prospect of a new job and potentially a move. Within a few months I landed my dream job and I will be moving halfway across the state and starting a new job in a few short weeks. This change has been years of hard work, anxiety, self-doubt, and imposter syndrome but I truly would not change it for the world. Taking that leap to do something out of left field can feel incredibly daunting, but through change comes growth and through growth we find ourselves and the lives we want to lead.
potatoes, oysters, mussels, beaches, dunes, lush fields, childhood dreams of anne of green gables fulfilled. amazing food, incredibly kind people, and beautiful landscapes. truly what more can you ask for.
