Anytime anything small makes me happy, or brings me joy, I say to myself "today is gonna be a good day". It helps me start off my day on a positive note, and establishes the practice of hope as a daily discipline lol for example:
- *leaf gets stuck on the window of our 5 story walk up* today's gonna be a good day
- *sees a ladybug on the windowsill* today's gonna be a good day
- *hears a fun song on the street while on a commute* today's gonna be a good day
- *drinks a glass of water and it tastes good* today's gonna be a good day
In my experience, it's positioned my frame of thought as "hey lets look for all the good in our day today" rather than "let me wait for something good to happen"; and that has made a world of difference when it comes to tackling some of the harder obstacles. So yea idk, give it a try and lmk how it goes <3

lately, life has been beating the life out of me!! usually, when this happens, I sulk and feel helpless for many hours.
but recently Iāve started viewing my life like itās a sitcom. now, all of my weekly misfortunesāreceiving (another) job rejection, finding a mouse in my kitchen, spilling coffee all over my favourite white sweaterābecome silly & endearing plot points that I can easily brush off & forget about the next day (episode).
try it! take care! <3

stray example: when i lived at my last place i set my phone alarm to only deactivate when i scanned a qr code in the bathroom down the hall - meaning that by the time i actually made it there, it was easier for me to just start getting ready for the day instead of going back to sleep.
identify the things that sap your willpower and engineer ways to make them really fucking annoying to engage with. then, find the things that you actually *want* to engage with and find ways to make them as effortless as possible.
eventually you will find that you get in the habit of doing the right thing often enough that it becomes your natural instinct and not something you have to specifically try to do. this has a compound effect over time - generally shit that is good for you has positive externalities that make it easier to do other things that are good for you.

Itās sweet and sentimentalāyouāre up, ruminating and thinking just like when your taking yourself with a good walk, but with less physical activity.
++ you can reflect with a good song and hear the sound of the bus moving, in transit.

Lifeās been super life-ing hard lately. So I decided to just go for it and try my first hike.
I joined a group of strangers at Mt. Batulaoāmy āmother mountainā here in my country, the Philippines. šµš
Sometimes the care and love you give doesnāt take root where you thought it would, but love still shows up in so many ways: in plants guiding your path, flowers, friendly dogs that greet you on to that scenic trail, a breeze of cold air, a view thatās totally new but somehow feels like home, and strangers-turned-friends who literally lend their hands to help you up and show you which rocks are safe to step on.
The shared ābulaloā meals. Our Filipino Laughter. The process was challenging but beautiful!
Honestly, the peak wasnāt even the highlight for me during the trail.
It was realizing that what you put out into the universe comes back in different forms and tenfolds, and my connection with nature reassure me that I still have a place in this world. š¤
So, yes, take a hike. Nature finds its own ways to heal.
