Fighting the ongoing war within me, and me, and, oh yeah, also me, calls for another impulsive “Note to Self” — so there are no excuses to not be the best version of whichever me I am today.
1. Don’t complain, cause what the hell does it do for you anyways? Spike your anxiety? Yeah, so chill out.
2. Just get up and do what you want to put off: Don’t think about it. Don’t talk about it. Don’t overthink about it. Don’t cry about it. Just do it. No questions asked.
3. WRITE MORE! It is LITERALLY your favorite thing to do. Why not do something you love? It will make you feel good.
4. Stop overeating and do something that makes your body feel amazing instead.
5. Keep it to yourself. Log it in your journal. It’s your business, so mind it.
6. Sleep. You know you’re exhausted. You know you have to work in the morning. Staying up all night worrying about things that are out of your control is driving you mad.
7. Speaking of mad, let go of the anger. Let it out first, and then let it go. Punch a pillow repetitively. Scream with your face under water. Make art with your emotions. Then, move forward.
8. Know that it’s okay that you have too many feelings. It’s also okay that they aren’t compartmentalized in your filing cabinet in your head in alphabetical order.
9. Things will never be perfect, so stop expecting them to be.
10. Love yourself. You are strong and smart and thoughtful and creative and caring. Say it out loud. You are worth it, even if you don’t feel like it.
