back to work in the gentle environment i’ve missed so much

[nodalstudies]

For the rest of 2025, internalize that it’s a privilege to know you, to love you, and to experience your energy.

reflections:

i’ve been learning a lot from my program despite the stress. i love how comprehensive the curriculum is—i really get to understand how to serve people’s health needs.

my reality is shaped by what i repeat.

it’s normal to feel dread about my responsibilities sometimes. what matters most is how i respond—will i dwell in the dread or will i ground myself then take action?

habit tracking 🎧 academics: submitted a discussion post + my final paper fitness: 30 min pilates. it hurt so good spiritual growth: visualization meditation, journaled

There has not been a single day in 2025 that I have not felt weird and bad in some capacity.

[nodalstudies]

propaganda im falling for :

taking more pictures

loving harder

never going to bed mad

jump first think later

you only live once so do it all

[nodalstudies]

up at 3am googling how do i break out of a repetitive cycle that both comforts and harms me

[nodalstudies]

lord help me, i gotta be the best i can be!

it's not that "self improvement" is a bad thing, it's that you aren't being strategic about what is actually relevant to you. people get burned out on pointless busywork self improvement that makes little difference to actually achieving anything that feels meaningful to them.

stop. slow down. think about what you actually want from life and how you'll need to grow and expand to achieve that. work on the belief that you are good enough already and that anything extra you want to achieve is for your sense of satisfaction, not to become good enough. then "improve" in the areas that actually make sense.

most people do not need a 100% perfected diet, exhaustive morning and evening routine, and non-stop habit formation to create a life they really love (i have none of those things, my life is great). figure out what matters, not what some guy on a podcast said is important.

i had a revelation that i’ve been trying to protect myself from heartbreak by 1. approaching relationships with cold logic and 2. distancing myself from “passionate” romantic feelings. overall, i’ve been subconsciously keeping my guard up.

i realized that there’s always a risk when dating, but that shouldn’t stop me from leaning into intimacy. i’m more mature now; i possess discernment and self-respect. that’s the best i can do for myself in a relationship—the rest is out of my control.

loving is scary, but it’s better than never loving at all.

and so i am opening myself up.

Another day of being in the lab :) I'm very tired today- I think the lack of sleep/not eating enough is wearing me down. I'm trying to fix it, but it's a bit difficult. Anyway! Another week closer to going home + starting a new semester!

[nodalstudies]

i did cpr for the first time today and brought back a pulse… twice 🥹
