do your thing.

As its still the holidays i wasn't expecting to get much done this first week but i've been overcome by new year energy and have done a whole lot

habits + goals

i have read everyday, i'm reading women in the pciture by catherine mccormack and this dark country by rebecca birrell, they're both really good, i'm enjoying this dark country more at the moment but its a bit slower to read

i have knitted or crocheted everyday, i'm still learning crochet so i've been doing a thin rectangle to practice, i've made a bit of progress on my scarf

i've sketchbooked everyday, quite enjoying it, i've been drawing some pictures i took

i've written an essay every day so far! i didn't think i'd even do 5 days tbh i'm very proud

studying + adjacent things

haven't studied properly cos it's the holidays but i've been planning and cos of my essay challenge i have been doing a bit

10 hours total

started a youtube channel for study with me's - very weird for me i'm not used to filming myself but i find it so motivating and focusing it turns out, i think i've done 5 maybe but one never uploaded for some reason and another i'm about to upload tonight https://www.youtube.com/@thisisyesterday

posted a new notion template that i was working on for a while

having a good time on studyblr

enjoying my new planner also

other stuff

been climbing twice this year so far, at the moment my climbing gym has a thing where you get a thing if you go enough times this month, free coffee then chalk then a tshirt, trying to rack up 17 or whatever it is for the free tshirt

went for a nighttime walk in the snow which was a good decision because the snow all disappeared by the time i woke up

tidied my room, its now messy again but it was nice while it lasted

started learning swedish i'm excited about that aswell

English:

What did I learn in the past months?

Believe in yourself.

You are never alone, even when your mind makes you think that.

You can always make new friendships.

Family is everything you need.

How did I learn that?

If you don't believe you can do this who would believe in you ?

Your mind can make you think thinks that are not true, and that's very dangerous.

Friendships comes and go, so don't stay attached to someone too much.

A family bond is stronger than anything.

What are my goals for next week?

Do some sport.

Talk more with people I love.

Free myself from thinking.

I will keep you guys updated!!! See you next week :)

you can do it tomorrow (if you don’t do it now you’ll never do it ever)

you have a lot of time left (life is actually pretty short and we don’t have that much time)

you can skip this one little thing today (you are functioning solely due to the fact that you have a routine)

i must respond to this one thing that is bothering me immediately (you don’t have to do anything, it’s all in ur head)

I must check my phone (u don’t have to do anything, it’s all in ur head)

panicking is productive (panicking never makes a situation better, but in fact exacerbates it)

I must listen to music while doing the most minute task (u don’t have to do anything, it’s all in ur head. and I like music as much as the next person but moments of sheer silence are crucial)

I must befriend everyone (some people just don’t mesh together and that is ok)

I can skip working out for the day (working out does so much for ur physical AND mental health)

If misfortune happens to me it’s because I am uniquely unlucky (misfortune has nothing to do with preordained circumstances and everything to do with random odds)

If I am mistreated it’s because I am a horrible person and I deserve it (most times people are projecting their issues onto u and it has nothing to do with u)

if I make a mistake I am uniquely horrible (we are all human and we all make mistakes. the important thing is to hold ourselves accountable and learn from them)

I must have this one thing I really want now (u don’t have to do anything, it’s all in ur head. also whatever u want will still be here tomorrow so this sense of urgency is false)
