Rec'd on 😃 how to be content in the moment

going through some similar motions and this measely tiktok comment unironically did like +1000 healing to my psyche. really, the key is to remember you can only do so much at once. overexerting yourself will make you too tired to consume the fruits of your labor. they will rot and/or you will not enjoy them this way. find happiness in the little, fleeting moments you’re able to foster for yourself and bite off only what you can chew. besides, you want to make sure not to do things in haste. you want a solid foundation for future you and your contentment and don’t want to find any cracks in it later down the line…

This makes me think of when Drew Gooden in a video said "I understand how tempting a shortcut can be, especially when you go online and you see all these other people making cool things and you're like: 'Man, i'll never be that talented, it would take me like ten years to learn how to make music like that'. Okay - that's fine! What's the rush? Start right now, don't worry about how long it's going to take! Just take the first step. How're you gonna do something for ten years if you won't even do it for one day?"

mantra right now

been working hard to internalize a quote i read online recently. it says “the time will pass anyway whether i handle it emotionally or not… how utterly pointless to suffer so much & still choose to be miserable”. reminds me of that old Seneca quote, Something about the man who worries before necessary, suffers twice. when things already suck, i still have the option to be happy & make things better for myself. i know it sounds easier said than done but many times I’ve found myself rejecting this notion when a little bit of kindness towards myself, a deep breath & some patience would’ve gotten me through. every Moment is an opportunity to turn things around & make myself happy. gratitude helps a lot w this. blurting This all out here coz i know it’s an idea ill soon forget once im actually in the throes of a tough time ⭐️

TAKE YOUR TIME

most people in the world now are going at such a fast pace that it’s sometimes hard to keep up with. Instead of also rushing to meet their standards, take your time. not in an asshole way, but make room for yourself to exist. Don’t put more pressure on your mental health ;)
