One Step at a Time, by shodo artist Sisyu.

[m0tiv8me]

I haven’t done push ups in a long time. Surprised myself with 40 straight and it got me feeling pretty confident and good about myself for a change.

Workouts and consistency have been utter garbage so far this year and I’ve not had the best self image lately. It’s had me feeling less than excited to keep up with any routine. I tell myself to snap out of it but I’ve just struggled to find that spark to get me up and going consistently again.

I had to help move some heavy furniture up and down stairs last weekend and I struggled more than I thought I would. It was a little bit of a wake up call to get my butt off the couch and get moving again. I’m not getting any younger and I’m certainly not doing myself any favors sitting around and lamenting about how far I’ve slipped in my strength and conditioning. Time passes all the same how I use it is up to me…I need to do better!

Hey everyone~ 🌸

Sorry I've been rather inactive lately. Physical and mental exhaustion hit me pretty badly, so I had to slow down and take a step back. 😞 I still very much intend to finish and post the latest pieces I had started working on, but it might take a bit longer than anticipated.

In the meantime, I will try and continue answering asks and messages as much as I can. Thank you all in advance for your patience and understanding. ❤️‍🩹

taking a small step will always be better than not taking one at all.

Scientists outline a bold solution to climate change, biodiversity loss, social injustice

[misty1111]

I’ve decided to start a journey toward a clean and organized home and will be posting about it here on my Tumblr misty1111 and my YouTube channel Camilla Cushing.

After being very sick for over two weeks, my home is a mess.

Dirty dishes sit piled in the sink. Every surface is full of clutter. Unopened mail sits in piles on the kitchen counter. Dirty clothes litter my bedrooms floors. The largest mountains of laundry feel big enough to hike. A half unpacked suitcase and backpack and clean laundry lay sprawled out over one of my beds. The other bed is unmade. My jewelry is scattered throughout my home on various surfaces with a big pile covering my shoe organizer in my bedroom. My shoes crowd the coat and shoe stand by my front door. And maybe worse of all, the table that I create art on is covered with things that don’t belong there so I haven’t been able to paint in weeks.

I want a clean and organized home.

I feel so overwhelmed at all the work I’ll need to do to get my home to be clean and organized though.

If anyone would like to share any advice on how to tackle this, I’d love to hear it.

I’m challenging my instincts to feel ashamed and hide this because I reject that shame. I’m not ashamed of myself for the state of my home. I am a severely disabled person and I’m doing my best.

If anyone else can relate to having an overwhelmingly messy home, I see you, I love you, and it’s going to be okay. I’d also encourage you to reject the shame that society puts on people with messy homes. I love rejecting shame and do it all the time. You can reject shame too. Just in case you didn’t know.

I want a clean and organized home for the well-being of my physical, emotional, and mental health because I know that I feel better in a clean and organized home. And I deserve a clean and organized home.

I just don’t have one currently.

I’m going to focus on taking small and consistent steps toward getting my home to the place that I want it to be. My goal is to put one thing away a day. Once I start, I frequently find myself able and willing to do more and if I want to, I will and that’s great. But I can also stop at one. Small steps.

Plus, setting a realistic goal and then completing it daily releases feel good chemicals in the brain and builds self-trust.

And I’m going to exercise a lot of patience, self-acceptance, and self-compassion throughout this process.

I’ll keep you all posted on my journey to a clean and organized home.

Here we go. ✨
