📰 weekly report 04/07-04/13

[zoomieyo]

potential tw for food mention/discussion? one of my goals is related to it and it's discussed more heavily than usual in both obsessing and recommending.

R.E.P.O.R.T.

—reflecting
we officially hit the one month mark on weekly recaps! I'm overall happy with the process so far, but I do think I could work to be a bit more mindful during the week so the recaps are a bit more interesting. 

I'm potentially wanting to tack on a commentary? recap section to help sort out some miscellaneous thoughts and other as needed mentionables for a better picture of the week. 
might just work out how to better include it in these sections though...
re: recaps are a bit more interesting, thought a lot this week about old writing habits (essays), wrote up a midweek blog post(and had so much fun doing it) and thought about becoming my self.

—enjoying
journaling! I made it my goal to get back into the habit of morning pages and carving out time for it has been so so lovely. I can write about 2 pages of handwritten notes in about 30 minutes- has me feeling much better about my day instead of... scrolling social media. I feel like I sound like a broken record, but I really really really need to change my habits around social media usage.

— playing
not a lot of play this week again... I haven't had any games capture my attention recently. suffice to say that I'm not using playing as a means of escapism nor being truly involved in a game. I am thinking about picking octopath traveler up again because I kinda miss grinding out the fights before I fell asleep. 

I guess I've also been playing around with a variety of ideas?? of stuff to work on?? to do???

— obsessing
writing and BOBA TEA PROTEIN. (girl who drinks a lot of protein shakes.) thus. looking into finding the best protein powder. I've tried isopure 100's cocoa pebbles one which is one of my favorites and I'm nearly finished with ryse jet puff flavor. one of the fitness influencers I follow has the affiliate/ambassador code so I was looking over the reviews and available flavors etc etc. I'm torn on getting regular milk tea flavor or trying the matcha one? I usually drink my protein shakes in the morning and my go to recipe has been: yogurt, protein powder, collagen powder, and a banana all blended up. I just don't think that the tea flavors are gonna work with this recipe which also trips me up because how am I gonna drink this stuff..... my usual recipe is a pretty thick milkshake-y like texture which I enjoy. I'm thinking fairlife milk as the base, milk tea protein, and collagen? maybe add ice after blending/mixing....?


— recommending
there’s been this tweet going around and I keep finding myself retweeting a bunch of resonating quotes. despite how fun it is to scroll through... is it also contributing to my already terrible scrolling habit.
another big one: taking your vitamins.... I've been pmsing all week but I had no idea 1. because I always forget anyway despite feeling literally horrible AND 2. I started taking a handful of vitamins (based on my mom's recommendation) and I've felt so much better. I was exhausted all week last week despite going to bed early. but this week? I feel less exhausted. I've been taking: iron, vitamin a, magnesium, zinc, an allergy pill, and a prenatal because it has a bunch of stuff you need anyway according to my mom. I probably need to tack on vitamin c and maybe vitamin b??? but I also probably need to do more digging into vitamins/supplements realistically. I think I also wanna start taking creatine.. but that's a whole rabbit hole to go down....

— treating
today is arizona tea! my mom picked up a couple of cans for me and I've been drinking it while working on this update.. we also had hibachi the other day and it was so good...

— something i want to remember forever

“Kierkegaard, in Purity of Heart Is to Will One Thing, describes complete absorption in God as the deepest unity in life. All ambivalence would disappear and competing interests would be reconciled.” — Erving and Miriam Polster, Gestalt Therapy Integrated… Turn down your neurotic thoughts and attune yourself to the real magic around you. …Isn’t that the real point of being alive? I thought. Not to analyze and overthink everything, but to allow yourself to be utterly consumed by the divine.

best of luck with everything, also re: social media, it's not shameful to admit you may use it too much and tbh i commend you for the mindset to shove it aside and do other things because it is difficult to do that!

also, that quote is extremely lovely!
