Learnings/Noticeable Events
Realized that my iPhone’s standard alarm… “Radar”… has a 4 second pattern, which I could use as a guided box-breathing meditation. Meaning, that when my alarm goes off in the morning, I inhale for four seconds (one iteration of the alarm), hold for four seconds, exhale for four, hold for four, inhale for four, hold for four, exhale for four, etc.
Set two types of habits for myself, “Regular” and “Non-Negotiable” and committed to keep the list for both VERY small. Just want one to two habits done consistently no matter what my mood is. Non-Negotiables are done every day, the same way every time, “Regular” habits are things like reading, forest time, meditation, that I want to do at least one of per day, but so long as I read for 30 minutes, I don’t need to meditate, or so long as I have forest time for 30 minutes, I don’t need to read, etc. It’s a leisure-time-specific self-care activity, and so long as I do one, that’s good enough for me.
Listened to the Andrew Huberman podcast on Meditation today.
From LBFH, gave myself enough self love to realize I don’t need to wake myself up at 5am anymore if I’m getting terrible sleep in my new apartment
Was putting off going to Ikea and getting bed frames, organization stuff, etc, but finally did it! (Thank you Achilles’ Heel, Victory’s Call, Purity Without).
