Sometimes I feel like when I have one bad day, it puts me in a spiral and causes me to have subsequent bad days that seem to never end. Whether it was something I did, something that happened, or just how I felt, I’m trying to push reset every morning and know that however I felt or acted the day before doesn’t have to carry over into a new day. I’m starting new morning rituals that help me welcome in the new day, like drawing for at least 15 minutes in bed. If I invest in myself early in the morning and give myself time to be and don’t just jump into the day ahead, I find that it really sets me up for success for the rest of the day 💞 anyways, more weekly words up in the stories!

Live life for yourself, not for others ✌🏼 I’m still learning how to not obsess over what other people think of me – it’s definitely a process but ive come along way and have stopped apologizing for who I am as much. I’ll still say sorry for random things like the weather or a bad meal at a restaurant (things I can’t control) but have stopped apologizing for my personality and my likes and dislikes. Being almost 30, I have a strong sense of who I am and know that there’s parts of me I can’t (and don’t want to change) and that I am the way I am 🙂 more words up in the stories – a lot of illustrations this week because I had a long flight so had to doodle to keep myself busy!

A little piece of advice that’s stuck with me. I remember a few years ago telling a coworker (miss you @dbmorgs) that they were the nicest person I’d ever met, and asked them for advice on how to handle people when they’re being difficult. He said something similar to this quote here, and that everyone is fighting their own battles that you may not know about, so the best thing you can do is be kind, because you never know what someone is going through. It’s definitely helped me over the past few years, whenever I want to lash out or get super frustrated with someone, I try and take a step back and think about how I’d like to be treated on my worst day, and move forward with that approach.

This is something I thought about when I saw that “remember when you once dreamed of being where you are now” quote that’s made its rounds on the internet. So often I focus on what’s next and what else I can be doing instead of focusing on the present and appreciating how lucky and grateful I am to be where I am now and doing what I want to be doing. I remember sitting at the desk at my first job in front of some excel spreadsheet wanting so badly to be creative and applying to every marketing role I found and begging for a company to give me a chance, knowing I could prove myself. I look back and realize how badly I wanted to be creative in my work and the times I thought it wouldn’t happen and I feel so grateful and proud of myself that I continued to try and that I pushed through all of the rejection to get to where I am now. 🙏🏼 that’s all for tonight’s little thought – more words up in the stories!

Remember back in elementary school when it was cool to brag about how late you stayed up and how little sleep you got? I feel like now people brag about how stressed they are as if there is some social capital around how little sleep we got that week or how all of our social plans had to be sacrificed. I used to think that being stressed meant I was killing it at work and doing a good job because I was *so busy* and doing a lot, but now I realize that when I’m stressed I actually do way worse in every area of my life because I get so burned out and frazzled. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized how important it is to have a life outside of work and have other things that contribute to your self worth and identify. A few years ago I realized I had no actual hobby or interests, I just worked, came home, ordered food and watched tv. While I still do this a lot (so many good shows on RN), I make it a point to try and read one day a week, cook my own food when I’m not home too late, or doodle on my tablet if I wake up early instead of laying in bed watching tv or aimlessly scrolling. It’s been super valuable to me to have things besides work that I care about and it’s definitely helped me escape the hamster wheel of stress and no sleep. Anyways, more words up in the stories!
