Hey everyone
Oh, Sunday evening how you mock me I am not ready for it to be Monday morning tomorrow, I really do think we need to find a way of adding an extra day to the weekend. I know I can’t escape reality forever but I like my little pj bubble at home as it is so safe and so warm. I know I can’t stay in this bubble forever it is not healthy to, but come on we all need a break from the world every now and then.
The good news is I am only working 3 days next week as I have booked 2 days off so it is another glass half empty and half full situation.
Sunday evenings are hard for a lot of people and there is one thing I do on a Sunday evening just to kick-start my motivation and that is a tiny victories list for the weekend.So as I prepare to peel myself out my PJs tomorrow morning and put on my uniform I have a little something to look at that, that will help put a bit of pep in my step as I get on that early train.
A tiny tip of the day – write it down!
My bag can look like a mini stationery shop as it is full of pens and notebooks. I can on average take at least 2 notebooks with me everywhere and a bunch of multicoloured pens. I have also lost count of how many times people have asked me why? Why not! is always my answer, is there a rule on how many pens and notebooks a person is allowed on them, I think not!
To me, it is so important to write things down as I find it easier to process things when they are written. So whether it is something good or bad that I am feeling if it is something that I am struggling with to understand or something I am proud of. When I am seeing it in front of me it is a small step in owning my feelings.
It could be a small smiley face in the corner of a page or a simple sentence of “I feel sad”. To an outsider it may something like nothing a doodle but to me, it is a page for of dreams and fears learning to live as one, it is my mind.
I hope everyone is doing ok and if you are not remember that it is ok not to be ok.
Take care,
Vixxy rose

Beautiful words. Also, by being employed you are still doing far better than me on the “adult” scale. 😂 xx

Even as a writer I forget how therapeutic and cathartic writing is. It really does help putting the positive things on paper because it makes them feel more real.

I love to write things down as well. I have a lot of notebooks, each for a different purpose. They help me process stuff, yes, but they also serve as diaries. Even this little blog of mine. It helps a lot. So that’s a great advice 😊 I hope more people can discover writing things down, and that they would find it helpful as well

I take my coloring books on work trips sometimes, or if I don’t I have an app on my phone. I’m getting to where I bring my locked journal to write blog posts. Since it’s locked, I don’t have to worry someone will read it if I ever leave it. (Not that I would, given how hyper private I am IRL. I doubt I could leave it even with ADHD.)
