Need to take my own advice on this one.
I'll scroll and scroll and scroll but I actually feel good when I get the journal/sketchbook out and learn something about myself.

This is prolly a therapy practice or smthn and I don't know it lol BUT i think it's v refreshing and healing for the soul to spend 30 mins/day simply creating something from scratch. It can be anything, like:
- A journal entry
- Rough draft of a story you have rattling in your head
- A silly doodle with no rhyme or reason
- A random collage
- Improv on the piano/guitar/instrument of choice
- Embroidering on an old shirt you're trying to revive
It's easy to get caught up in the gears of life and responsibility; getting into the small habit of creating something new is a good way to stay in touch with yourself and remember that you've got that spark in you <3

I want to strike a balance between consuming and creating. I think that's why we might feel so aimless sometimes. I told myself I'd create one thing a day, even if it's shitty. A doodle, product concept, song lyric, a beat, an animation, etc. Literally anything. I just need to stop consuming nonstop and actually do something with the info I process. will report back

i want to create more things!
every day i wake up and i just consume consume consume, but then sometimes i end up drawing something or i do music stuff and my day gets a whole lot better! i personally get a lot of fulfillment and fun out of creating things. heck even making up a username for this app felt rewarding, it can be small things too.
so planning said creative activities is the way to go! or at least saying: tomorrow i will do this or that creative activity. i think that's a good idea.

I don't really enjoy pillows like I prefer my head to be at body level if I'm flat on my back. And I like to lay on a more rigid surface than a mattress so a nice hard floor is peeeerfect

I've seen people talking about how doomscrolling is filler time and you make no memories. 100%!!! Like I'll be bored for one second and then I'm on TikTok for two hours and that isn't an exaggeration. The other day I just let myself be bored and not scroll and like yeah I was super bored but I walked around the house and I took in my actual life a little bit and then I found something to do and I just felt like I gained my time back kind of.
I also just think recently I've felt like I have to time to do the stuff that's important to me or that I enjoy but really I've just been sucked into a scrolling black hole and that suddenly I have time to do anything I want!
