The best way is to just start with one or two things

Hold yourself accountable to doing them with some kind of habit tracker, then once you can consistently do those start adding on other things. Try the Fabulous app! I used it to build self discipline when I was like 22 years old lol

Ugh but then I’m not gonna follow thru and then I’m gonna look at the tracker and be like wow this is a just a documentation of me being a lazy loser failure I’m the worst person in the world!! And then I’ll be demotivated. dealing with myself is so much drama😐 but thank you for the suggestion I’ll at least tryyyyyy

imkhushi that’s the point of just starting with one simple thing! That app is really motivational and it’s designed for people like you so hopefully it’ll help

This is the worst most stupid advice that i give about everything

But the best way is to simply do it. set a time to do something, sit down and start, and keep going for like at least 15 minutes. Preferably with your phone far away. And then you KEEP doing this repeatedly. I find having creative partners also helps to hold me accountable

set a reminder as "do [new habit] for fuck sake"

I did this without realizing it would be much more helpful than just [11am Do New Habit].
I haven't been following through on my new habit lately, but I feel bad dismissing that plea from my would-be better self.
It's really, really difficult to start a healthy habit so do not worry when you aren't perfect!
If you can, make it a habit that you do first thing in the morning so there are minimal obstacles that could throw you off.
Do not try to start more than one habit at a time!
Best of luck!

It takes 21 days to start a habit

As long as you write (or do whatever habit you intend to start) for 21 days, there’s a high chance it will stick! So write everyday even if it’s one word, one sentence, one paragraph - start really small but really consistent. Maybe dedicate a specific nice notebook for it. I don’t write but I’ve used this approach with art, reading, working out, etc. and I’ve had success!!

ENDING SENTENCES WITH ELLIPSES LIKE A BOOMER

It lends a reflective and wistful tone to written communications imo…

Never changing

My dad teases me about how when I was a little kid, my favorite thing to do when I was on the landline phone with somebody—be it a relative or one of my best friends—was to breathlessly describe the things that were in my bedroom so that they could have a mental picture of everything I loved and chose to surround myself with, and where I sat at that moment in time. Perfectly Imperfect reminds me of that so thanks for always listening and for sharing with me too 💌
