There's this one note on the app I fill with entries like a list– from the most joy-inducing feeling to the shortest happening– in a few words, anything that once mattered to me. Key point is sincerity. Anything that can catch you saying: "What a blessing it is to be alive!". It's thoroughgoing work but once you commit it's a very rewarding outcome. Your very own reflection in this world through what you notice. The sense that you're surrounded by proof of love, knowing that you belong in that space. I go over it again and again perfecting it, I try to stay true and aware. My friends began theirs at my incentive, we share our findings together and it mutually gives us inspiration. I wish everyone made a list of what they love. I'm kickstarting the project.

I love keeping a hate/things I don't like list as well, especially because I tend to brainwash myself into forgetting about them

nrthalia I keep a list of these too! But I try to not focus on it too much (one step away from spiraling down 🤪)

Such a joyful use of the notes app to monitor the small things that bring me joy. Some entries have included: Big hugs wearing puffy coats; Getting drunker than planned with a friend because you’re having too much fun gabbing at the table so you keep drinking just to stay; Amtrak’s cancellation policy; When a fitness instructor tells me I’m strong; A dirty martini with a random ingredient; An uncomplicated bodega turkey sandwich; the parkour scene in Casino Royale; gossip about a place you used to work; crowded movie theater laughter

I’m a big lover of self-affirming lists. if I feel unloveable I write lists of reasons I love other people and then which traits I also share with that list. If I feel lost and not myself I write lists of things I love. If I feel I have no stable self I write a list of things ive done or felt since childhood. you say you have no real hobbies or interests, but you’ve already been writing a huge lists of things youre interested in or feel passionate about here on PI.FYI! you have tastes, interests, passions! Sometimes you just need to see it written down, and sometimes you need to start writing the list to realise that actually writing the list would be impossible because there’s so many tiny and huge things you like or do.

I’ve been doing this since the end of Dec..I was reading an interview about mental health habits and the person shared they do this at the top of each day: Make a list of these 5 things- full sentences or singular words, whatever comes to mind. 1) 5 things you’re grateful for today 2) things you need/want to do today 3) any fears or resentments 4) things to avoid feeding into today 5) things to strive for/go after today I love a list, and jotting it down in my daily planner is a nice way of not being too precious about it. 🌞

Love biking around and listening to music. There are geese and pedal boats and giant tree alleys that cover the sky in green. There are even flamingos!
