Struggling with 2023 - Confession time
I don't like putting numbers to things, but then if you do have a journaling habit, which is something that I do have, it is hard to not look at the number. By now, I at least have one page filled with names of books and then a lot of corresponding pages filled with what I thought about the books and things of this art, personal opinions. What would I have done differently or what did I really like about it? What did I not like about it?
So this is of course, I could be wrong, and this is completely something that I have faced. And it's a very personal opinion. It's when I shifted cities, I was a voracious reader. Like, I used to be a book blogger. I used to have authors reach out to me and give me books for my opinion, right? And then when I shifted cities, I just couldn't prioritize reading at all. And that used to make me grumpy and make me unhappy

So let's see whether this motivates they because largely I saw so much of the plot in Colin Hoover coming. Same with Taylor. Jenkin reads. I was like, may cupad rahim ye. But I still can't stop reading. So I think this is a good tip. It's okay to read entertaining books sometimes if it helps you get that number up. Yay. Thank you so much. And I'm so glad that you are making changes that are positively impacting your life
I won't offer any thoughts on the hows and so on because I'm guessing you've thought of them. And so since you don't have the bandwidth at the moment to prioritize reading, what if instead you shifted your perspective about the significance and meaning of the number and how you feel about that number, what you think about that number?

That have been pretty good reads, to be honest. Most of them. So thank you so much. And I'm going to try shifting my expectations, keyword being tried. Because, as you rightfully pointed out with the Gratitude stuff, even with things of the swords which involve expect anchoring expectations and such, we try so hard not to do that because we have read all of this stuff we've seen and we've heard all of this advice on not doing that
Anyway, congrats on the move, and I hope it goes smoothly and that doesn't take long before life is feeling, quote unquote, normal. Again. Happy moving

If you feel like your thoughts are better expressed in writing, I think it's good. Now if I have great ideas and things that I need to accomplish, then yes, I definitely write it down because I don't want to forget it. But I also don't want to overwhelm myself mentally trying to remember all these different things. So I do write things down that I need to make sure I have in writing and that I make sure I have something to look at

And at some point, because you're prioritizing other things, it's like, might as well chow down on this food that I got from outside rather than cooking something healthy or making something healthy for myself. So, best of luck. I know I have struggled with it, and specifically with the way social activities are set up. Right. It's difficult to eat healthy all the time. So wish you luck
