👏👏 you said everything I've been thinking and feeling lately. I absolutely love this message.
The week between Christmas and New Year's, I couldn't stop thinking about all the things I should be doing, but I'd then remember that that last week of the year is basically a "dead week" and then go straight back to watching Sex and the City or whatever lol. So I really really feel you.
I think embracing messiness is so important because we can't expect ourselves to be perfect all the time. And who tf wants to be perfect all the time. I mean how boring lol. But I'm also learning to be okay with being imperfect with the effort that I do put in, which is really helpful for getting myself to actually do the thing without putting enormous pressure to do it absolutely perfectly. Cuz then I don't do it lol.
In love with this post. <3 Also love the idea of turning everything off on Sundays. I've been trying to do something similar, but after 6pm. I'm trying not to go on my phone so that I can get back into reading more, release, and relax for the night.
My therapist said the week between Christmas and NYE doesn’t even exist lol. I try to have my phone off the whole day because I tend to start scrolling in the morning and then suddenly I’ve wasted 2 hours that I could’ve spent reading. If I can, I try to go without it until 9pm. That way I have no distractions while I’m trying to read or watch tv. Funnily enough, Sex in the City is on my watchlist this year! Thank you for your comments as always, they are greatly appreciated <3
this is definitely in my top 10 in/out lists that I've seen for 2024…say NO to rumination, YES to self-discipline and literary pursuits!!

It's May now but I love this and taking a lot of inspiration from it - I want to implement a "no phone Sunday" and write a damn novel too
