Hhhhhhhh 🥺🥺

My heart skips a beat every single time I look at this (which has been a lot!). I cannot believe a person made this for my OCs. I do not feel worthy.

Right?! I had never noticed any difference in my habits in the morning or the evening.

Usually, I choose something familiar and upbeat to bribe myself into getting out of bed in the mornings (idk if it's executive dysfunction or what, but it's so hard for me to just decide to get up and follow through; so I press play on a song while I'm still buried in my duvet, and tell myself I have to be out of bed and standing by the time the lyrics come in lol)

And then my evening listening is usually for skating or keeping me entertained while I'm cleaning or something. And I guess most of my afternoon listening would be in the car on weekends, at which point everything would just be on shuffle anyway, so I'm not sure how accurately that reveals my preferences.

Anyway, I'm definitely overthinking this lol

So my favorite thing to tell myself:

- you'll probably laugh about this later

And I do, because it's silly to mull over the time I tried to say, "have a nice day," to a fast food worker in a drive thru, and instead said "HDYUJNHFF I J." I spoke gibberish. She was confused, I was embarrassed. So, I gave her a confident smile, a thumbs up, and drove away with my taco bell. Later I laughed till I cried, because it was so funny in hindsight.

When I'm struggling artistically, I tell myself:

- even a tiny bit of progress is better than none.

That phrase works great with doing chores too. If you have a hard time doing the dishes, start with five plates and see how you feel after. If you want to do more, go for it! If you don't feel motivated enough, give it a break and try again later. And remember, you still did five more dishes than if you had decided not to do them altogether :)

I love that the "you'll laugh at this later" saying works for you in those situations! I do have to let the little social things like that go, especially when I constantly mess up my Japanese. It isn't always very helpful for me though, possibly because my partner L (who is disgustingly optimistic compared to me lol) sometimes jumps in a bit too quickly with statements like that when I'm in the middle of an anxiety attack.

I looooove the image of the thumbs up when you realised you'd spoken gibberish lmao I may actually steal that in the future.

The one about progress is great, too! I've struggled really badly with doing household tasks the past few years, and I've also found that once I convince myself to do one small thing, the larger tasks don't seem as undoable.

I just found them on Japanese Amazon, but they're about ¥2400 (or $24ish) for one pack!!
