Nothing exciting, but I've been staying up way too late for months. Last night I put my phone away and actually slept early. Woke up feeling like a different person.
On days when I have to work in my office, I'm so miserable. I don't feel comfortable with my coworkers - some make me very uncomfortable. (I have friends at work but they don't sit anywhere near me.) It's really cold, I have absolutely no privacy... I could go on, but I've already focused too much on the negatives. I want help with is transforming this experience so I don't dread it for days in advance anymore.
I was thinking of finding rituals to make the day better, like wearing a favorite perfume on my in-office days, bringing a favorite herbal tea, etc. But this is gonna take a lot of transforming so I would love your ideas!
I've tried different night routines, that lasted about four days lol
This is the first one that's stuck for a few months, very low effort
Around 9 I turn off the big lights and just use a lamp. Phone goes on the charger in the kitchen, not next to the bed. I make a mug of herbal tea (usually something minty) and read a few pages of whatever book I'm on. Some nights I write two or three lines in a notebook about the day, nothing soo deep
and that's it!!!
no 12-step skincare, no meditation app.
The thing I noticed is that after a couple weeks my brain started treating the lamp and the tea as the signal that the day is done
Anyone else have a really simple routine that worked better than the elaborate ones?
I was supposed to go out tonight but I was honestly exhausted. I canceled, made some tea, changed into pajamas, and stayed home. Zero regrets.
I caught myself being really harsh about a mistake I made. If a friend told me the same thing, I'd comfort them instead. I'm working on giving myself that same kindness.
i didn't know how to tag this, sorry
the thing is, i'm only 27 and my thighs and arms are already covered in cellulite, and even my ribs too. i've always struggled with it, but not as much as i do now. i attribute it to the fact that i've had a pretty sedentary life these past few years, but still, i know people who also don't move a lot and don't have even an ounce of cellulite, or at least not as much. i know it's mostly genetics and exercising can help, but still, it sucks being so young and having a normal weight and still having your whole body looking lumpy
i literally feel disgusting and if i look like this at 27, i can't imagine how i'll look like at 50
does anyone else feel the same way? maybe we can give each other moral support lol
