Good work! It takes a lot to get yourself out when you're in a bad place. that's powerful!

Yes! Take that nap! Teaching sounds very exhausting, you need to give yourself treats when you can.

It's difficult for me to communicate/socialize with others, but I have a couple people that I genuinely enjoy talking to. I called one of them earlier and just talked while I drew some sketches of a character. It was actually quite nice.

That sounds wonderful! What a great way to give yourself some company <3

Freaking cleaned my room!! Didn’t even start intentionally at first!

praising yourself is really important. external validation is unreliable, we need to cultivate healthy self talk.

jkb4753 2021-03-19 06:18:52 UTC #32

Wow! That's a big one. Give yourself a pat on the back.

Took a day off... like really off... no work, no art, no sport, no cooking, no shower, no kiddo, nothing... did absolutely nothing... felt a bit guilty at first... at first... but spent the whole afternoon laying on the sofa binge watching Euphoria...

I'm taking a day off too! A week off to be exact!
Aaaand I've rearranged furniture in my room so it feels kind of fresh and all, really like doing it once a season
I asked my bf to hide my tablet for a week too because I feel arising madness and urge to overdo again haha~

I got toothache this week and my left cheek was swollen. Today it's already got a lot better! I bought a jar of my favorite pineapple cookies to celebrate

You gave youself something that you needed...a break! You deserve to be taken care of, even if you have to do it yourself.
