You gotta start romanticizing being really fucking bad at the topic you’re learning, stop being ashamed of being stupid that’s the only way you’re going to allow yourself to sit down and actually learn.

“Do it scared” “do it alone” are all great tips, but my biggest takeaway from therapy is do it messy. This is especially true if you’re getting out of a burnout, which I experience often. Literally just do it messy. You don’t need to pick the perfect trail to walk, the perfect playlist to listen to, whatever the fuck it is. You don’t need to have a meticulous to do list and wake up at the exact time you planned and drink the exact amount of water you planned to drink. Like the biggest thing for people like me to remember is sometimes it’s okay to do it messy. Put on a random yt workout and just get it done in sweats. Do 5 minutes of a daunting task and go from there. Sometimes just getting up is a win during intense burnouts or depressive funks. Literally just do it messy.

I think you’re all so smart and doing your best and I suspect it will work out in your favor too

Here's a reminder to celebrate your small wins. You don't need to do grand things to be great. You already are great.
