My lifestyle has been super unhealthy the last couple of weeks. Eating poorly, bad sleep hygiene, excess tv & social media, no exercise, disorganized, etc.
I guess all of these things have been me searching for dopamine hits, but the happiness has been super short lived.

We each cope in different ways, but for me, it& #39;s actually been unhelpful to see all the messaging around "don& #39;t worry, you can slack off in x, y, z". It doesn& #39;t actually make me happy for long.
I find the greatest joy in a healthy lifestyle and a meaningful use of time.

This isn& #39;t about "being super productive in a pandemic and building a side business while learning 3 new languages", though I am carving more time out for creative writing (because it makes me happy!).

So yesterday, I vowed to get myself back on track, but SLOWLY. I& #39;ve taken decisive steps to restructure my schedule, which was the first step. I also bought healthier foods and am eating better. I didn& #39;t watch any tv yesterday, I reduced my social media engagement and read more.
I plan to keep making progress each day, and tweak things as necessary. Because things will change, or may not work. But I already feel better about myself: physically, mentally and emotionally. I feel happier with what I& #39;ve decided and what I want each day and week to look like.
