Exercise. I went from 0-1 days per week to 30 minutes every day for the past 6 weeks, only skipping two days over that time.
@Moobythegoldensock @ericbomb that’s amazing!!! I hope you keep it up :) starting a new habit like that and keeping it consistent ain’t easy - glad you’re nailing it so far.
Survived another week
This was going to be my answer, so I’m replying to your comment in solidarity.
I wish I could say I believe things will get better for me if I just persevere, but I don’t think I do. As long as I’m here though, there is a non-zero hope that someday, I’ll be able to live and not just survive. I hope the same for you too.
I haven’t ate meat in 6/7 days, broke down and had a BLT yesterday. Tough to give up the bacon completely but I’m working on it.
You know when a friend’s loved one dies and you tell them the usual sentiments about being there for them, anything you need etc? But there’s rarely anything you can do, especially if you’re not in their immediate circles where you could be making food or helping with estate etc.
Friend needed to do some job applications quite urgently, but was obviously not in the right headspace to do a great job. Friend asked me to help review drafts (I write for a living) and between us we got out 3 very solid applications.
I’m proud my skills had real and immediate use to someone. This white collar shit can feel pretty ineffectual sometimes, but this was a tangible help to someone so I’m proud of myself.
Words have power, when you use them to support others. After translating marketing lies for a living for too many years I’m always glad when my language skills can be put to good use to help someone.
