Weekly Reflection

Hey, loves!

I know I haven’t posted my mini diary entries in a couple of days but I’ll explain myself. My week was very productive as you can see from my entries up to Thursday, but then I had to slow down. I ended up being a little unproductive and I kinda blame the heat. It’s already bad in my country, even though it’s just June.

It’s not that I didn’t do anything, but I wasn’t very consistent with both my routines and my to-do lists. I still made progress with my monthly goals, though.

I truly wanted to share this funk with you though, because I used to feel guilty when I’d slow down. If you think of it though, it doesn’t make any sense to feel this way because it’s impossible to keep being productive and mindful eternally.

It might be essential to embrace our slow days, and to accept that sometimes we have to slow down in order to move forward with more vigor.

Anyway, I’m very happy with how the week went. I think I had a good start with this month.

Highlights of the week

I wrote around 3.000 words. Just 12.000 more for my monthly goal!

I did some yoga - it’d been a while.

I lost some weight - although, most likely it’s just water weight.

I made progress with my Spanish lessons.

I finished season 5 of a show I’ve been watching. It’s ridiculous but I’d been stuck in this season for like 3 years.

I’m working consistently on my self-concept and confidence.

I got closer to a special person.

Some brainstorming

I could have journaled and practiced gratitude more, and it’s something I’m intending to do this week.

I’d like to start working-out and moving my body more consistently.

I’d like to utilize affirmations more and plan more specifically my ideal life and self.

My attention span has been kind of shitty, and I blame being too much online for that, lol. I have a hard time focusing on what I read, a show or a movie, so it’s something I’m actively trying to improve. It’s NOT easy.

I think I’d like to take my writing more seriously -finally-. So, I wanna research on how I can do that, and maybe start being active on websites like patreon and ko-fi.

We’ll see.

Have a lovely week, everyone!

Weekly Reflection 1/13/25 - 1/19/25

Accomplishments 30 minute walks 4/7 days Got sunlight 4/7 days Took vitamins 3/7 days Strength workouts 2/3 days

Difficulties/challenges Protein...of course.

What worked? Instead of being upset at myself for not being able to complete entire elaborate strength workouts, I'm proud of myself for doing what I can. It's working out better this way. And I also feel sore enough without completing the entire workout so really, anything is better than nothing.

Improvements to make I want to find a new protein powder.

Of Departures and Dreams

This week felt like a blur made of love, exhaustion, and moments I wish I could press between pages like dried flowers. I’m writing this entry a day late—not out of neglect, but necessity. Yesterday, we arrived back in the UK after a long-haul flight from the Philippines, and I was too tired to even unpack the layers of feelings I’ve been carrying. Now, with a quiet Saturday morning and a warm…

Weekly Study Reflections (June 9-15) 🌿🧠🤍

🎯- Weekly goal: be prepared for the Economics exam by at least 80% -> asses through a practice test/explaining everything I’ve learned while making mindmaps

💌 - I think I get the hang of it now. Treating burnout is not enough, you need to prevent it.

- - - 🌿- - -

I didn’t use duration-based goals anymore

I focused on the depth of the focus instead

I stopped when I had learned/done enough (at the end of a topic/after completing some quizzes, etc.) or was tired

I rewarded myself with less brain-stimulating activities (journaling, walking, stretching, listening to soft music)

I still aimed to revise 4 chapters a day, but it’s alright if I can’t

I set a large window of time and started when I was ready. I made sure I was physically and mentally ready by taking care of my nutrition and physical movements, and applying cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to myself

- - - 🧠 - - -

On burnout:

I figured that studying endlessly without being sure my effort is sufficient to achieve my goals leads to burnout. Only relying on motivation also leads to burnout

Changing the study system helped me unchain motivations with studying, so I can keep studying without having to rely on it

My root of excessive (and unstrategic) studying is the fear of failure and not having enough time to be fully prepared for it

I changed my mindset that I should be grateful for the time I have to prepare for my exams and do the best I can (in a healthy manner)

If I use the best of my time, it should be enough to help me pass the exams

If I don’t get the best result, that’s okay. The world doesn’t end. At least I learned something from it and could improve next time. (I shouldn’t let myself loose too much, though!)

- - - 🤍 - - -

I still struggled to sleep before 12, but I woke up earlier these days. 

My next goal is to go to sleep earlier, no matter what

Weekly Reflection 1/6/25 - 1/12/25

Accomplishments 30 minute walks 4/7 days Got sunlight 5/7 days Took vitamins 5/7 days

Difficulties/challenges Strength workouts 1/3 days

What worked? I managed to improve my sleep pattern and I'm thrilled about it. I feel better and can't wait to fully recover from the horrid last month of poor sleep.

I maintained a caloric deficit 5/7 days. Thursday and Friday were particularly difficult. I wouldn't say I'm in a huge deficit. I still snack and enjoy things I like in small amounts. But the food noise was crazy. I lost a little over a pound last week so it wasn't a bad week.

I have been waking up 30 minutes to an hour before I have to start work which is nice. I want to keep building on this.

Improvements to make I didn't actually set any reminders to do strength/dumbbell workouts but I did do one on Friday. Nothing huge but it was still so hard. I'm going to reduce the strength workout goal down to bodyweight workouts and see how that goes. So the goal will be 3 bodyweight workouts a week. Alternatively I could keep the dumbbell workouts goal but reduce the amount. I'll have to try both and see what works.

Increase protein intake. This might be more difficult than actually doing strength workouts.

Thus the whale-line folds the whole boat in its complicated coils, twisting and writhing around it in almost every direction. All the oarsmen are involved in its perilous contortions...

Me: Wow, this chapter is actually really interesting

But why say more? All men live enveloped in whale-lines. All are born with halters round their necks; but it is only when caught in the swift, sudden turn of death, that mortals realize the silent, subtle, ever-present perils of life.

Me: *breaks down sobbing*

I truly fucking hate how some of these side gig tasks are formatted/instructed. Your shit doesn't make sense; the field you claim exists for me to type in isn't there (if it is, it's greyed out and there's no way to change that on my end) and I appreciate a room full of tech bros doesn't want to take five minutes to have an arts/english major read over and edit their shitty instructions so they're actually something a person can comprehend without reading it over five times, but also. Fuck them; it would not take that long and the money you're wasting on this project won't be any less wasted if you pay someone to proofread your shit that's an actual human, and not an AI.
