Time to get real, minions! Ò,Ó
We live in a world of strife and mayhem. Millions and millions of people are suffering from depression, anxiety, post traumatic stress, disease, and other afflictions that systematically break us down into a pile of useless good. It really sucks. That is why now, more than ever, it's important to take time to invest in yourself. Take care of your body and your mind so you can live a more satisfying life.
A lot of people here on Iwaku are dealing with one of all of the above issues, and I know that many of us are unable to get access to therapy or medical care so we have to find alternative methods to cope with existence. Even if your biggest problem is just dealing with a little insecurity, taking care of yourself is very important. We're going to talk about those in this thread! ⊙◇⊙
Do you invest in yourself? What are you doing to help yourself be a functioning human being and ultimately feel better about your life?
Myself, I am a "baby step" person. If I try to do big changes all at once, I fall on my face and I get discouraged and feel like a failure. Ç◇Ç (Which is not true! If you keep on trying, you're learning!) Still, I found out I can build better habits easier if I start with small things and work my way up.
Right now, I'm basically trying to build back all my good habits from scratch. I wash my face in the morning and at night with some fancy sample-stuff I get from sephora & ipsy because it makes me feel pretty again! I've been trying to post here on the Iwaku forums everyday, either by posting a topic or replying to topics because I turned into a feral owl and I need to be socialized again. Ò,ú I'm trying to do one chore everyday in my house so everything isn't covered in cat fur and pee.
They seem like small things, but little things build up to better things!
My next step goal is creating a new work schedule for myself, so I can get back to running my sites properly again. And introducing a daily exercise routine, like walkies during lunch or jumping jacks everytime I have to go pee.
