I’m enjoying watching Hobi’s documentary on his solo expedition. At one point he described his milestone goals as scoops of ice cream: IU’s palette, listening party, Lollapalooza, and something else.

It inspires me too. What are my four scoops of ice cream?

1. Sleep x one month

2. Exercise

3. Diet

4. Boyfriend opening

These aren’t physical scoops like events or anything. I’m not even sure it’s ice cream. But it is a recipe for moving a better life. I’ve been on the negative side of sleep depravation. I want to be well rested every single day so that I can be my best, feel the best, and have the best day.

My medications are thankfully working! I just have to be studious about sleeping at 11.

Exercise and diet are some things I’m going to ease into. As well as having a boyfriend. There are small things that I can do exposing myself and meeting new people organically is one important thing. I’ve done that already by going to my best friends’ listening party.

There’s dancing, cleaning, stairs, and light lifting. I don’t precisely need a gym membership. I can do these small things every day and ease into intensity with however much I feel.

The diet is a little complicated. I scientifically know what to do (load up on carbs) to feel full, but I’m not sure how to overcome my mental need for food. Should I replace it by drinking a ton of water? I haven’t even gone keto yet. But my knowledge base is there and that’s important.

Anyway, I’m in the second week of this month. I had enough sleep. Yesterday I went to a doctors appointment. Today I am at work. There’s are tangible things.

I sorta miss being the crafty girl that I cultivated myself to be. I want to dip into that soon. I just need more rest. I feel like I’m in sleep debt. So this week I’ll focus on sleeping on time (which will be enough). It has to be a full week. That’ll be my Cherry.

I’m doing pretty well too. I have to give myself more credit for that. 🍦
