I found myself getting really irritable while working, so I made some warm tea and took a short break. It's probably that time of year🍵

I finally did something I'd been putting off because of my weird habit of procrastinating on things I 'want to do but are too much of a hassle.' Once I started, it only took a few minutes… but some things are just a pain, right? 😇 Now I've satisfied that 'want to do' feeling and cleared a pending task, so I feel refreshed! 💮

My eyes were tired, so I used a hot eye mask 👀 I was sleep-deprived, so I actually dozed off a bit while it was warming up… 😇

In the morning, I washed my face a little more carefully than usual. I was lightly blaming myself for staying up late last night, so I tried washing my face carefully, thinking, 'Maybe this will give me a sense of self-care...?' It did help me switch my mood, though 🙆

I made my bed right after waking up. I hadn't done it for a few days, but it really does make me feel a bit better☺ Turns out, telling yourself 'I accomplished a small thing' might be really effective!

Taking a break from drinking 🤗 I'm actually doing better at taking breaks from drinking than I thought! I think I'm managing to have 1-2 alcohol-free days a week!

I thought it would be a hassle, but I took a bath...! It's good for shoulder stiffness too... taking a proper bath is important...🛀

I wasn't really in the mood to play games, so I almost reached for social media, but I resisted thinking about how stimulating it would be. Instead, I made some tea, listened to music, and just doodled blankly💮 I really need more ways to kill time besides my hobbies... Maybe I'll buy an adult coloring book next time🤗

I feel like I used my brain a lot today and got tired... so I'm heading to bed now🛏 Doing what I can for my future self! That's all!

I placed an order for an item that's due at the end of this month. I still had some time and was putting it off because it seemed like a hassle, but for the past few days, I kept thinking about it and felt a bit uneasy, so I finally pushed myself to get the annoying part done. Feeling a bit more relieved starting tomorrow 😌
