Weekly Progress : Working on Yourself (2)

This series is to make it easier for you to become the person you want to be. Keep in mind that I’m not a therapist, and take my suggestions as you would from a friend.

Try achieving these goals every week. They’re short and doable, and it’s to increase your confidence, step by step.

To keep things simple, we only have 3 categories (external, mental and physical) which will have one goal each.

External :

Check up on a friend or family member.

Just asking, “how are you? Have you been doing okay?” shows that you care about them.

Relationships are TWO WAYS! You can’t complain about someone not putting in effort if YOU don’t.

Mental :

Let’s practice confidence today.

To do this, we first must outline the kind of person you’d like to be.

You’ll need a book / diary for this - in this series, you’ll write pretty often.

Why? Having a game plan makes it easy to visualise and therefore carry out activities to help reach that goal.

Create two lists, 1) qualities and attributes you think you have (honesty, integrity, etc) and 2) qualities of the person you want to be.

Don’t be harsh on yourself. Write it down for yourself, no one will judge you. You’re allowed to write good things about yourself.

Physical :

A HIIT workout, 15 minutes.

Something to keep your heart pumping and blood flowing!

YouTube, as usual, has some great options.

Health

I'm back to a more regular sleep schedule. I wake up at 6, and go to sleep before 12.

I've had to walk around a lot. I'm also feeling interested in doing a workout by myself. I'm going to start by doing 30 minutes everyday so that it becomes a routine.

I'm spending less time on Instagram. Now I only have to abandon Twitter.

Academic

I have so many resources to learn chemistry now. I just have to get up and do it!

All my books for first semester are here! I've flipped through them and read their first pages to understand how they've been designed. Now I just have to read them before classes start and understand the information.

I started reading philosophy. I'm reading and actively engaging with the material. I take my time to reflect on what I've read, its meaning, find examples that apply to my experiences, and research ANY concept that comes from another philosopher.

Social

I started to connect with three people who seem goal-oriented and focused on school.

I try to answer some of my classmates' questions on the group chat. If I know the answer and I can take the time, I'll do it!

Changes for the future

Be more active. I need to use my time carefully. Instead of watching a show for 40 minutes, I can use that time to read or study. All actions need to be aligned with my goals.

Stop. Criticizing. People. Seriously, I'm so tired of doing this. It's bad, it's stupid, it makes everyone miserable. I'll try to focus on the good qualities of everyone, if I cannot find them then that's none of my business. All my energy will go to myself, my goals and my loved ones.

From the derp writing the words:

Shocked myself by doing another one!! Not much to say for this week, though. CFS kicked my butt good and hard for most of it. I hate stepping away from the computer while I’m in the middle of writing something, but I can feel my focus slipping and I know anything I write after that point will be phoning it in and I don’t want to do that ever.

I realised that despite having written and finished Frozen Flame I never made anything for the character cast to go with it. Typically, Nyima’s aesthetics are done up in blue shades and her clothes are closer to belly dancer than armour. She also doesn’t have a giant bear in the canon story, so any animal aesthetics for her don’t include Atah. I think I did okay with this one. Super hard to find anything close to Ozma the way I imagined it. I part edited chapter five, but I don’t think I’ll have it finished this week.

Piddling amount of words written for the next chapter of Thaw, but it’s better than nothing which is what I wrote the last couple of weeks for it. Tbf to myself I wrote openings for Wired and Brotherhood: Thaw, as well as wrote a whole chapter for Divinely Volatile, so I don’t feel too guilty about it.
