After every mission, Clark would give Bruce a hug before flying home to retire for the night. Bruce would protest and grumble but ultimately relent and let Clark hug him because he knew that Clark was accustomed to it.

One night, Clark was in a rush to get home to finish some work for a last-minute deadline and forgot to give Bruce his hug.

Bruce felt extremely restless and uncharacteristically upset. He tossed and turned in bed that night but couldn’t sleep. He rationalized that it must be due to a disruption in his daily routine.

In the early hours before dawn, Clark was suddenly roused from his sleep by the presence of someone in the room with him. Bruce, looming over him, gravely told him that he should be sleeping in bed and not at the desk. Then, he announced that he was leaving and waited for Clark to give him his goodbye hug.

Bruce got himself a goodnight hug and an extra good morning hug. After that, Bruce promptly crashed onto Clark’s bed and slept through the entire morning and afternoon while Clark was at work. Clark never forgot his goodbye hugs again after that.

i used to be a pro at morning routines.

i would wake up so early; i would drink water and meditate without my phone and journal. i was even reading through self-improvement books while listening to frequencies.

and then....well, it slowly slid away. it got harder to wake up in the mornings. it got harder to take care of myself, period. taking the meds was hard. drinking water was hard. i was waking up tired and trying to do an enormous list tired and then finally doing nothing at all.

because I thought i needed to have the perfect tiktok morning routine...or nothing.

see, we think we need to make things hard for ourselves on purpose. we feel ashamed of breaking steps down into smaller, more achievable chunks; it needs to feel like a mountain worth climbing or is it even a mountain at all? but it doesn't need to be a mountain. this is your life, and it's meant to care for and serve you. you can pre-measure your morning meds the night before. you can set a glass out. you can understand the obstacles and try to give yourself footholds. sometimes to accept grace feels like weakness, because we consider weakness as a lack of 'strength.' but what if it was the strongest, bravest thing to acknowledge your self care won't look like many others, and that's okay? it is strength. it's bravery. and I'm proud of you <3

Hello beautiful humans, I wanted to share my morning and evening routine with you guys. I hope that it will inspire and motivate you! 💗 The times I wrote down are not an accurate, but more of an estimate that will differ depending on the day. My wake up and sleep time are goals for me at the moment. I want to get back into a good sleep rhythm before starting school (in less than a week).

𝕄𝕠𝕣𝕟𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝕣𝕠𝕦𝕥𝕚𝕟𝕖

6.35 Wake up and drink a glass of water.

6.40 Do either some calming yoga or meditate.

7.00 Make my bed.

7.10 Put on my my outfit.

7.15 Brushing my teeth, doing skincare and hair.

7.40 Journaling.

7.45 Check agenda, make to do list and planning.

7.55 Make breakfast and eat.

8.15 Go to school.

For this plan I took maximum time for everything. Because of this I will often be ready way before 8.15. During the remaining time on school days I will study, this can either be for school or for my own hobbies <3

𝔼𝕧𝕖𝕟𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝕣𝕠𝕦𝕥𝕚𝕟𝕖

20.30 Clean my room.

20.40 Pack bag for tomorrow (if needed).

20.45 Pick out clothes for tomorrow.

20.55 Make a 'my day' post and journal.

21.10 Brush my teeth, do skincare and put my hair in a protective hairstyle.

21.20 (Optional) Meditate or some calming yoga.

21.40 (Optional) Read.

There is no clear time to be in bed in my evening routine. I have some very bed sleeping problems that I'm trying to get rid of by using some good routines, the goal is to get sleepy enough to go to sleep between 21.30 and 22.00. My intention is to start trying to sleep at 22.00 even if i don't feel sleepy. Since I'm still trying to get into a rhythm and don't know my ideal sleep time, my bed time may change.

If you liked my post be sure to like, comment and reblog! If you like my content, consider buying me a book. <3 Lots of love from me!

Beauty routines.

The importance of a routine fail-safe

I have struggled to uphold any and all routines for as long as I can think, but now that my ADHD is properly treated (with meds) the focus shifted onto my autistic traits and I realized the importance of routine in my life.

I've been more or less doing the same routine for the last month or so, but then we had guests and after two days I felt exhausted and overwhelmed.

Why?

Because our guests occupied the chair I usually sit in to have my morning coffee that kick-starts my entire day.

Now that this place was no longer an option, my brain completely blanked on what it was supposed to do and I only kept feeling worse.

So I created different versions of my routines and installed fail-save to keep me from spiralling into exhaustion again.

For me, the key is to broaden the terms I'm using: I don't have coffee, I have a hot beverage - in case I'm out of coffee or milk. I sit and read while I have my coffee - not specifying where I sit or what I'm reading (anything is better than nothing).

And this is really important because a routine should work for you, not against you, and therefore, should also work if something changes in your life, because it is the routine you are supposed to be able to fall back on to give you a sense of peace.

This week I've decided that I'm going to do things I've been postponing for months.

So...

Things I did

Bought and installed (I mean, paid the firm to install, obviously) an AC in my apartment with my dad

Tidied up my apartment (I can't believe I actually did it lmao)

Got rid of some of the boxes left after the new furniture

Things to do

Prepare my old phone for my dad

Clean up my apartment more !!

Buy and install new curtain blinds

Go to a doctor...

Catch up with uni notes from previous semester

Get rid of the rest of the boxes

Get rid of an old damaged chair that is still here idk why

Buy a pin board

Paint my window-sills

christmas. tree. ohmygod. i need to--

જ⁀➴ I also celebrated my birthday a few days ago and watched the first Olympics volleyball game today! (Not happy about the score but damn, it was a good one)

I'm working on my habits and routines too and it's, well, it's not going bad. It'll be easier now, since doing anything with AC is like 10x more pleasant and hopefully the olympics will make me wake up at reasonable hours.

Habits I want to stick to:

Drinking enough water

Watering my plants consistently

Eating healthy and REGULARLY

Daily pilates

Drinking matcha and green smoothies

Not forgetting about my meds

Waking up before 9:30 and going to sleep before 12:30 for now (will be shifting it slowly)

05:35 - i try to wake up a little before this to be fully awake! when i wake up, i check my phone for texts because im on dnd a lot.

05:40 - “make” bed! i don’t tuck everything in and make it look perfect, but i make it look organized. i also like to clean up my nightstand a little!

05:55 - stretch/move around. there’s sm good stretches on youtube. to move around i normally just let my dog out in my backyard and just play with him.

06:00 - eat breakfast!! breakfast is so important and you don’t have to worry about being hungry in class. for breakfast i like to make something very quick and simple. i normally make a bagel or some fruit!

06:15 - brush teeth and skincare. if i wake up a little earlier, i’ll do oil pulling before brushing my teeth. for my skincare in the morning, i use my water based cleanser, toner, moisturizer, and spf.

06:30 - put on outfit. i pick out my outfit the night before so i don’t have any unnecessary stress. make sure to check the weather before you pick an outfit! this is also when i’ll put my regular lotion and scented lotion on.

06:40 - do hair. i have a jellyfish/wolf cut which looks better when it has volume.

06:50 - make sure i have everything in my bag. including school supplies (notebooks, pencils, laptop, etc.) and non-school supplies (airpods, keys, id, water bottle, etc.)

6:55 - final touches! put on lipgloss, perfume, and just double check to make sure i look good.

6:58 - leaving!!

𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫

- this won’t work for everyone because we all have different needs. make sure your routine is based around serving you and what you desire!

- don’t go on your phone while getting ready. even though it isn’t good to go on your phone first thing in the morning, it helps me a lot with being on time.

- every day is different! some days i wake up earlier, and some days i wake up later. it’s important to be patient with yourself.

- sleep is very important!! sleep is more important than if you wash your face in the morning. sleep is more important than regular school days.

The Subtle Art of Finding Joy in the Mundane

In the dizzying whirlwind of our modern lives, with its notifications, deadlines, and endless to-do lists, it's easy to overlook the little things. Our quest for big achievements, exotic vacations, and grand celebrations often overshadows the understated moments that make up our daily lives. Yet, there's a profound beauty and solace in the mundane, waiting to be discovered.

The Magic of Morning Rituals

Consider the simple act of brewing your morning coffee or tea. The aromatic scent that wafts through your kitchen, the warmth of the mug against your palms, and that first invigorating sip – it's a ritual that beckons a new day, filled with possibilities. It's not just about the caffeine kick, but the quiet moments we grant ourselves before the day's chaos ensues.

Nature's Everyday Theater

Look out of your window. Even if you're in the heart of a bustling city, nature is putting on a daily show. The radiant hues of a sunrise, the gentle rustle of leaves in the breeze, or even the rhythmic patter of rain against the windowpane. These are nature's gentle reminders of its cyclic rhythm, urging us to pause and sync our own rhythms with the world around us.

The Joy of Daily Tasks

Believe it or not, there's a meditative quality in mundane chores. The rhythmic act of washing dishes, the soft hum of a vacuum cleaner, or the therapeutic act of decluttering can be grounding experiences. They tether us to the present moment, offering a break from the incessant noise in our heads.

Conversations and Connections

Everyday joy is also about connections. A brief chat with a neighbor, a spontaneous phone call to a friend, or even the simple act of greeting your local grocery store cashier can forge bonds. It's in these fleeting interactions that we find a shared human experience.

Rediscovering Your Space

Sometimes, joy is about rediscovery. Re-read a favorite book, revisit old photographs, or rearrange your furniture. Familiar spaces and objects can offer new perspectives and insights when looked at with fresh eyes.

Wrapping Up

The art of finding joy in the mundane is essentially about shifting our perspective. It's about appreciating life's quiet moments and finding depth in simplicity. It's recognizing that while milestones and grand celebrations are significant, there's immeasurable joy to be found in the spaces in between.

In the words of novelist Alice Walker, "Expect nothing. Live frugally on surprise." Life's everyday surprises, no matter how small, are the threads that weave the beautiful tapestry of our existence. So, let's cherish them.

My perspective on why having routines + a strong self concept is the ultimate key to a solid state of being. 💝

Rewind to May 2024. I wasn’t getting anything done. Unfocused, unmotivated, and utterly exhausted. When I sat down to work, I felt like I was already running on fumes. Being Autistic, I have a certain amount of energy each day and I need to use it wisely. Thus, something needed to change. But first, I needed to find the root of the problem.

Let's Keep Playing

Isn’t it easy for the ho-humness demands of daily life to take us to the town of Grumpydom! Well, not on my watch! I’m steering clear of that dreary place! You’ll find me on the joy-of-life express, and I want you to hop aboard with me. So many folks are caught up in the humdrum of daily routines, completely neglecting the playful child hidden within. They go through life without pausing to…
