APRIL RESET

So in January I created some New Year’s resolutions. I just went a little crazy with it just for the fun of it. Next I created my first quarter goals for the first three months. So basically I have resolutions for the three months. Due to circumstances and events, to avoid feeling overwhelmed and like a failure, I wanted to break those goals down into daily habits.

Goal - Have my dream body:

Habits: booty/legs three times a week, upper body and abs two times a week, incorporate more protein in my meals, actually go out of my way to cook more meals instead of eating lazy meals.

Goal - Read at least 12 books

Habit: Read everyday, finish a book or two per week.

These are a few examples I have. For the month of April, I want to reflect on my first quarter goals and see how much I’ve accomplished and note any improvements I can make for the next quarter.

I actually accomplished reading 13 books for the first quarter which is actually surprising lol. I’ve been pretty consistent with my work outs. I had a few lazy weeks but I haven’t had a week where I didn’t work out at all! Pats myself on the back.

For the next three months, I want to work on these areas of my life:

Finances

My Home Environment

My Mental Health

I would usually use ChatGPT to give me some ideas on habits I can try to incorporate in my day to help with bettering these areas. However, it would just give basic ideas, oh well lol.

I create a habit tracker for each week and then do a week review to see how I did and how I can improve for the next week. Some habits I can have on my habit tracker in order to accomplish better outcomes in the three areas above are:

Educate myself on interior designing

Educate myself on Feng Shui

Meditate or do EFT tapping most days of the week

Take my Magneisum Glycinate supplement every night

Journal most days of the week

Complete the gratitude practice from The Magic by Rhonda Byrne

Practice Python and any other statistical programming language a few days of the week.

These are just a few I have on my mind but as the weeks go, I’ll probably come up with more and slowly incorporate them into my day.

Here’s to a WONDERFUL second quarter!

fave Jack Marston hc: since John keeps Arthur's journal in the rdr2 epilogue and also writes in it after, I feel like before 19 year old Jack sets off and leaves Beecher's Hope when you play as him he finds the journal that now both Arthur and John wrote in and he keeps it him, as an item that reminds him of the family that is now gone, he doesn't write in it either but he reads through it to see what his dad and uncle have written on their journey and through their life

Jack would be writing in his book as I still imagine him wanting to be a writer/author but he keeps the old journal as a keepsake and a memory, also something to look back on if he misses John and Arthur

#text #rdr #rdr2 #jack marston #tbh i like in the epilogue in 2 the journal is passed off to john and he writes stuff too #i feel like the same concept would be cool if that happened w john and jack where jack writes stuff on his travels too #but i also think jack wouldnt write in the old journal hed want it to not be messed w and something like a time capsule #something to look back on and read thru #but yea i think itd inspire him to write his on book and stuff bc of it :)#also i feel like arthur and older jack wouldve love talking abt writing and stuff and jack showing his uncle the stuff hes written #jack is also reading thtu the journal sitting by a campfire he set up for the night and is reading thru johns stuff #and hes like ''wtf is this pa???'' fshdjdjdndn

2023 Recap and New Year Reading

One thing I think I'm proud of this year is how I approached bullet journaling. Despite sometimes going weeks at a time without making entries, instead of giving up I just went "ah, hell, we'll try again next month" and went about setting up the next few pages. That's... progress I think.

Anyway one of the reasons I bring this up is because last year, when I started this thing, I kicked off the year with a rune and tarot reading. And I think overall they were pretty on point, even if I was refusing to see the VERY COMMON THEME in all of it. Like... what brand of copium was I on that I saw 3 of Cups with the Empress and the Ace of Cups AND Death and went "Yep nope nothing to see here folks! Having a normal one!"

[This would be where I would stare flatly into the camera, Office style.]

The overall theme of 2023 was change. My partner and I did a lot of evaluating where we were and where we wanted to be, and started making moves to get there - some glacial, some... a lot quicker than I had expected lmao. But I think with my reading, my issue was that I made everything too broad and didn't focus on what was most on my mind - which turned out to be exactly what's on my mind now, and how it related to my existing commitments - including my fandom presence and writing. Which... has been difficult this year, particularly with being sick in one form or another for half of it.

With all of that said, 2024, it seems, is shaping up to be the transitional year - I pulled the Magician, which lends itself to a lot of power and potential. For the first half of the year, there's going to be a lot of good (or at least positive leaning) vibes up until April, supposedly - the Sun, Justice, the Empress (again), the High Priestess... all major arcana, all BDE cards. A lot of the messaging is about joy and balance and trusting my instincts. The vibes will be immaculate and everything's going to fall into place.

...Until May, which is when we can expect the Bean to make their appearance. Which... well, Five of Swords wasn't exactly the most surprising pull here. That is going to be a rough, scary transition, and I already knew it would be. But it's not forever.

We're (probably,) going to get our shit together a bit over the summer and into fall (Knight of Wands, the Chariot, 9 of Wands, King of Pentacles, the Fool) and then we're up for a setback of some kind in November (10 of Swords.) Given the context of the Fool and the overall timing, I think this is going to be related to moving Bean into their own room, and could be as simple as difficulty adjusting (for both of us tbh.) I'm not really seeing anything that indicates major issues, but the final card of the year (Judgement) is giving me a bit of an empowering message here.

Taken in aggregate, the message is clear: I have everything I need to succeed, so long as I remember not to rush important decisions and to ask for help when I need it. We can and we will achieve the balance I so desperately crave if we put the work in.

I did also do a rune reading, which overall seems to support the tarot one and gives me some additional context: likely looking at some conflict with work and family in the coming year (which I expected and which is already occuring to an extent) and my overall well-being is going to take a hit (also expected) - thurisaz and othala (r). However, my biggest pillars (my partner, my friends, and my overall... domestic situation? Home and finances lol) are going to be solid and are positive enough, in my view, to compensate - dagaz, uruz, fehu, jera, laguz. And of course the messaging is all the same: go with the flow, don't be fucking stubborn, ask for help, act with deliberation - tiwaz (r), perthro (r), eihwaz, ingwaz, mannaz.

Anyway. Yeah. Lots of big changes coming obviously, and I don't know what things are realistically going to look like six months from now, but I know whatever it is I'm going to do my best, and I'm gonna remember to breathe.

... And hopefully I can forgive myself for the times I mess up as well as I did with the bullet journal this year lol.

#lp tarot #lp runes #no pictures this time #readings were too big.#bean posting #figure they should get their own tag lol #that way you can block it if you don't care lol #happy new year #year at a glance #bullet journaling got a mention lol #i still need to set up January whoops #breakfast first #partner got berries #am i supposed to have them? technically no #but they are necessary for my spiritual well-being atm #so. priorities.

#i've been trying to set up a reading journal in order to help me motivate to read more and not just for the faculty but i've yet to find #helpful tips outside of the aesthetics departement #or those made by people who don't exclusively read ya fantasy #ura.txt

Holiday study set up.

06|08|2022

I cannot believe the first week of holiday has gone. It felt even quicker than it usually does, but I am really enjoying my time at the seaside here. I know I shouldn't be thinking about the fact that in a week I'll be travelling back home, but the thought is implanted in my brain. I will do my best to relax and stop overthinking everything for one minute. Study-wise I have been working on some document pictures I took at the archives last month. In general I am still reading a lot, I am now a little over half of It by Stephen King, which has really captured me. I am incredibly curious to know how things will develop, and I am slowly growing more and more attached to the characters. Weirdly enough, even though in the last few months I haven't been super regular in writing in my personal journal, I am missing not having it here with me on holiday. I don't know whether slowing down in general has led to me needing a place to just sit down and reflect on myself, but I could really use having it. I think I'll just create a new file on my tablet to use as a journal, and though I definetly prefer physical notebooks that will do (and most importantly I'll feel safe writing in it).

today feels like the first day of school. I'm officially starting my job search after taking July / half of August off and it actually feels kind of good to sit down at my desk again??? even though I am fully dreading the process because previous rejections killed my confidence.

#started off by journaling about my feeellliingggsss regarding job searching #and then read some articles about how to have a successful job search and listed different action items to work on this week #also set up my google drive folder for job things #just easing into things #post grad life #studyblr

may reading journal || Sorry, I'm a Fake Fan -- May Reading Journal Walkthrough

of course, I had to continue my trend for Star Wars themes in May. This time the newest Ahsoka trailer inspired me— especially with all the Star Wars Rebels characters!

Plus, I needed an excuse to use my new gelly roll pens.

also i love unreliable narrators a normal amount

#been reading 'the basic eight' which is the debut novel of the guy who wrote asoue and is smth i've been wanting to read #for a while now for 1. being an epistolary novel 2. a satire 3. set in high school and 4. having an unreliable narrator #and it's sooooo fun trying to figure out where the cracks in flannery's story are and what she's trying to make look like the truth #and also the parallels btwn certain characters' relationships is fucking riveting #the book was published in 1999 so the story takes place in the 90s so every so often i'm taken out of the narrative by that #at least twice-- once when they didn't mention 9/11 when having a dinner party on sept 11th (and then i was like 'OHHHHHH. RIGHT.')#(lol consequence of being born in 2001)#and another time when flannery mentioned being able to figure out the time by looking in an almanac for that day's dawn time #and for a moment i was like 'huh? but you could just google--RIGHT.' and never have i ever been more acutely aware #of my own blind spots and assumptions and the tech i take for granted bc i grew up with it and it's kinda awesome actually #and you can get the sense that the writing is dense w/meaning in the same way asoue was also dense with meaning #packed with classical references and lines that seem throwaway and then come back again later like AAAA #i love the way flannery's obvious unreliability makes you actively think abt everything presented in the novel as you're reading it #i love how you can never quite tell what's being presented as unedited journal and what's being rewritten in the future #and perhaps i'm easier to fool about this bc i write in my diary in a similar manner where it feels like it has narrative structure #but i also try to be completely honest about who said what and when and so when flan the narrator does deliberately remind us #that she's editing this in post and ofc that couldn't have happened in the moment i'm like 'oh! right!'#anyway yeah just love it bc it feels like an extremely engaging read; it's like a pumpkin full of meat for my enrichment #花話

everybody’s intimidated by my grandpa cuz he’s tall and quiet, but if they only knew what i knew. he used to play the accordion, had a flemish giant, and is into dream interpretation.

#empty thoughts in your mind #also he owned a whole set of medical journals that he regularly liked to read #and he likes putting up christmas lights as general decor
