I Brood Harder than Angel the Vampire.

And I gotta stop it. It's time to get going. It's time to pull myself up and get with it. Lemme explain, I know I do better when I just do the simple things, my basic needs. I dunno if anyone else will understand not being able to even be there for yourself in a basic way.

It's like my depression and anxiety takes over and I just can't function on a daily basis anymore. I do go through periods. I'll do well, then not so well. Life has been hard AF, for a while now.

Anyways maybe no one relates, but here my solution.

I'm gonna WIN THE DAY!!!

I'm implementing this following checklist and win every single day I complete it.

✅ Make bed

✅ Hydrate & Juice

✅ Exercise/Body Movement

✅ Walk after dinner

✅ Read 20min in bed

I have similar lists in other places, like my morning and night routine or the election on stress, sleep quality, food quality, productiveness, etc. in my Daylio.

Or my daily business metric goals...

Or logging in my Daylio that I have come here and posted and/or at least checked the app and offer support to someone here.

So why don't I just do this for my own basic needs as well? Just until I do it enough days in a row it's just my nature now. I do love looking seeing things crossed off lol.

That's my kinda dopamine.

Love the reference, love the sentiment, love how hard you're working to make things better. Depression and anxiety don't stand a chance!

I do something similar - my checklist is:

- Have I taken my meds?

- Have I moved my body?

- Have I had a decent amount of sleep?

And honestly, seeing all those little boxes ticked brings me so much dopamine.

Shout if you ever want to chat :)
