May Day: Choose yourself (a new habit of self care)


How ironic it is for me to tell myself I have to choose myself (yea, there’s a lot of self words in this post) while having this cute sticker masking my pretty face?

It takes a looong time to make something a habit. Some people say 21 days or 30 days is enough. I don’t know if it’s effective for anyone who’s interested but I think I’m gonna have to try.

A part of me says it’s just a stupid set of challenges I won’t finish. That it’s just another list of to-dos because I am bored. A part of me cheers I should and could do this, and I believe I really need to do something in my life that could help me , at least personally.

Self-love writing prompts. I wanted to do the self-reflection list, but upon scanning the items, I thought that thinking about those would be a big challenge instead of just being cool with myself. I did reflections all the time, and it’s often more annoying than of help. So yes, a set of self-“love” Writing Prompts was a better choice. It’s like a gratitude journal or similar but more focused to one’s self. Which is nice, makes me appreciate things more.

Physical self-care. Daily routine I need to have a better day (hopefully).

  1. Daily 2km (at least) jog/walk.
  2. Stop smoking!
  3. Yoga & home workout for at least 30mins daily.
  4. Drink less coffee. (Please.)
  5. Time for bed is 10pm, girl.

Happiness challenge. A list of tasks I haven’t done or experienced yet. You need to get up and do new things, May!

  1. Create a Happy Songs playlist. Not necessarily with a happy lyric, but those that soothes you most.
  2. Sing. Out loud.
  3. Enjoy the rain and get wet. *winks*
  4. Complete a 21k single run.
  5. Disconnect from the online world for a week.
  6. Complete writing a song.
  7. Register to a travel event as a joiner and make new friends.
  8. Cry. Hard. Long. Even if it takes you a whole day. Let go.

This is more of a personal goal, but I am hoping you can join me and share your experiences as well. Ivo live, humans!
