Some days it’s just so hard to stick to resting. I was sick over the weekend and I couldn’t workout at all the whole time. Its been three whole days since I started feeling better and now I feel all guilty and want to get back to it. Reminder to myself: taking a whole week off will not set you back.

So thankful I’ve developed so many great habits this past year. They’ve been saving me so much. I used to be super bad at realizing when I’m too tired until I’ve burned out but with the combination of fixing my sleep, diet, exercise and a healthy dose of meditation I’ve been in a better state.

I’m still not the best at knowing when I’ve done too much but I’m getting better. Therapy over the years taught me that it’s okay to cry to release stress and that has been my go-to when I’m overwhelmed. At least now I know when I’m feeling tired at the end of the day and I’m not pushing myself to keep on going anymore.

Do something or nothing, life will move on around me so it has been good practice to let things go. I hope in the new year I’ll be even more compassionate towards myself and let go of so much self-hatred. Here’s to life long goals!

About a quarter of all the physical books I have. I’ve been too into e-books these days because they’re too convenient but I’ve barely touched any physical ones. It doesn’t really help that I’m blind as a bat without my glasses and I can’t make the font size bigger in the books 😂 I’ll still try.

This has been in my currently reading for a couple of months now. Still trying to push through cause it is interesting. I didn’t realize how boring egyptian mythology is to me over other ones. My goal is to finish this book before the year ends. Good luck to me!

Another day, another attempt at leaving traces on myself online. This time I hope it would stick. I promise not to overthink it, I’ll share snippets of whichever hobby I’m engaging in out of my multiple choices. I am not one-dimensional. I have plenty of interests and I will write about all of them.
