I know I talk a lot. It’s because I’m introspective and my brain naturally comes up with goals and sometimes ways to achieve those goals. It’s the lack of chemicals in my brain that keep me from doing it.

But sometimes (especially me, especially now) I have to bypass extra words and just do what I can. Compared to the past few months (this year has been a mental ringer), I’m actually feeling normal. Yes, there’s always low lying depression. But right now I don’t have any depressive tendencies.

Which means I can show up. I think the main thing I have to work on is creating a night routine so that I’m asleep by 11pm. That’s means not eating heavy dinners, taking meds at 930, and literally sleeping when I feel the need. Some things that help are aroma therapy, a bit of upright meditation, and positioning. My goal right now is to be mindful. If I can master the night, I can master the day.

There’s also diet and movement. Pluto or not, my diet is being tied to my funds. I can no longer afford door dash for the next two weeks. I have to figure out a way to get out and about, and mindfully eat so that I don’t overspend. There’s that.

Diet and movement will improve once my sleep improves. My brain is better able to handle goal achievement when having slept enough.

Here are the words: sleep is key

Love myself, take care of myself.
