Focusing On Myself - Tumblr Posts

When you find yourself not being attracted to that person anymore and realizing that they will never meet your needs or give you the love you deserve that’s when you know you’re finally letting go! It’s scary in a way because a part of me wants to hold on to what could have been but when God keeps giving you signs that it’s time to let go then it’s time to let go!!

Daily Reflection: 28 Nov. 2023

What I did today:

♡ Physical/Social Health

- I drank 4 glasses of water.

- I was outside my room more than I usually am.

- Stretched after I woke up.

- Ate breakfast and a health-ish dinner.

♡ Emotional Health

- Nighttime guided journal.

♡ Mental Health

- Completed a section of "how to win friends and influence people" by Dale Carnegie.

♡ Intellectual Health

- Finished lesson 1 and 2 and practiced those two lessons on MochiKana.

♡ Self Care

- Did my AM skincare and also brushed my teeth AM.

- Did my PM skincare (also used a cleansing oil which I haven't used in a while.) and also brushed my teeth PM.

- Took a long shower PM.

- Checked-in my emotions on Moodee (app)

♡ Personal Projects

- I worked on 2 of my writing projects.

- I almost finished a section on one of those writing projects.

Reflection:

I am very proud of myself for what I did today, and even though it might not seem much to others it is more then what I would usually do when I have no school.

Hopefully tomorrow I can stay on track, but also rest my eyes and give them a break(I have really sensitive eyes.).

I am going to go to bed in an hour or so because it is a bit too early to go to sleep and everyone in the house is awake and they are probably going to wake me up.

I will see you guys tomorrow and I hope you have a great rest of your day/night.

Til next time 🩰

Daily Reflection: 29 Nov. 2023

What I did today:

♡ Physical/Social Health

- Went with my mom to pick up my little brother.

- Went to the beach after and then also went to a restaurant to eat lunch.

♡ Mental Health

- Read a few chapters of "how to make friends and influence people".

♡ Emotional Health

- Checked-in on Moodee.

♡ Intellectual Health

- Did two units on HeyJapan.

♡ Self Love

- Did AM skincare and brushed my teeth.

- Did PM skincare (just wet my face and toner, because I was so tired) and brushed my teeth.

- Spent a lot of time outside and in the sun.

♡ Personal Projects

- Worked on 2 of my writing projects.

- I finished one section of one of the writing projects. (didn't really work a lot on the other one).

Reflection:

I doesn't really feel like I did a lot, but I think that's because I spent majority of the day at the beach (4,5 hours).

But I am going to go to bed earlier than what I usually do because I'm so tired and I also have a massive headache, and also because I have to wake up earlier tomorrow as I am going to school and the power is going to be out.

So the only thing I will be posting tomorrow is my end year exam results, and also how I felt about it and blah blah blah.

So I hope you enjoy the rest of your day/night.

Til next time!

My Fitness Plan (sort of)

Okay so it isn't actually off season but it is for me and school was hectic so here I am.

Last term I went to netball trials and since I haven't played this sport in like 5 years, I didn't expect to do good (I didn't). I am in the team E/F. I mostly want to get more fit and familiarize myself with netball drills and things like that.

Running

I am mostly going to run with time. For example, one day I am going to run for 5 minutes nonstop and the next day I just add 1 or 2 minutes. Something like that.

Drills

Since I am a Wing Attack (WA) I want to do drills mainly focussing on my speed, agility and balance. I also want to focus on my footwork and fundamentals of ballwork.

And I think also refreshed my knowledge of the rules and other things like that. I will also update every day on what drills/workouts I did that day.

Til next time!
