Some Motivation To Start Today =)

OK ranting a little before I start...

I'm kinda sick and tired of people telling me all I need is discipline and consistency. Like you think I've never considered that??? That's what people say, like EVERYWHERE!

Has anyone thought maybe there is more to these two words? Or maybe there's more to people who consistently "fail" at discipline and consistency?

Before I make a tough decision every day - whether it is whether I should skip my class or what I want to eat for lunch - maybe I can stop and ask what my future self would like me to do? And then maybe I can finally be at peace when I choose to rest when I'm tired and enjoy my time with friends without feeling guilty.

Affirmation: I speak words of love and kindness 🩵

Today is one of those days when I woke up feeling weird, sat with that discomfort, and things turned out quite ok. Not feeling my best, but got some good news, and the day got better =)

Hope you are somewhere in the world having a great day 🩵

Completed

✅ School ✅ Part-time job ✅ See clients ✅ Research meeting ✅ Phone call with partner ✅ Dinner ✅ Group project 2 paper ✅ Check and reply to school emails ✅ Partial clinic notes (I'll finish the rest tmr 😴)

[Ended at 12:35am] Wrapping up earlier today and I know I deserve it. Been working hard all week and I can finally chill a little (before I have full weekend of training lol) Did my best today and I think maybe doing the bare minimum wouldn't hurt me once in a while. Good night 🩵

Saw this and had to share!! The 4th one got me staring at it for idk how long cause it gives me all the feels lol

I have been overwhelmed lately with everything I realize I need to finish by the end of the semester, which is in 7 weeks. Sadly, my birthday is within the next 7 weeks, and I would hate to be stressed out on my birthday weekend. I was in a similar spot last year having to finish preparing for a presentation the night before my birthday. I wish it would've been different. And I so do not wish this fate upon myself again this year.

Another year, a better me.

It's time to change how I handle my schoolwork and life in general. No more hiding away or being frozen in place. I have to keep my eyes open no matter what comes my way and see it for what it is - a challenge I have been trained to overcome. It just gets a little scary when everything gets thrown at you at the same time.

Another super cool post for keepsake 🩵

Started reading this Webtoon called "Ex-Love Review" and I couldn't stop until I can find the latest chapters. So I'm just gonna finish one task and head to bed...

Completed

✅ School ✅ Part-time job ✅ Phone call with partner ✅ Quiz ✅ Dinner ✅ Read Ex-Love Review ✅ Clinic report results x2 (finished in 30 mins?? Amazing!!)

To-Dos

⏹️ Shower (I'm gonna shower in the morning, I promise 🤞🏻)

[End of day: 1:05am] Got more done than I expected, but I definitely neglected some things 😅 I think I'm starting to burn out, which is why I started reading on Webtoon to get a dopamine hit. Need to figure out how I can better rest and do schoolwork at the same time... Good night 🩵

Song I ended on 🎧: Out of My Mind - NOEL (I literally heard the song saying "I think I'm losing it" as I closed out my last assignment 💀)

[Ended at 2:35am] My group project has so many parts that I cannot believe I just finished all of these tasks 😭 My teammate was goat. She stayed awake working with me the whole night. Now I just need to take a shower and let my body relax cause I'm in pain...

Took me a while to get back in my groove, but I am grateful for this journey with supportive people so far 🩵

Before people come fighting me for using someone's artwork, I want to make it clear that I found my profile pic from Pinterest and I don't remember who drew this. So if you know who the artist is and how I can credit them for my profile pic, I will be eternally grateful!
