I've reeled it in. I didn't force myself to do hard things all day. I went between hard things and easy things and exercize and mental breaks. I listened to my body. I ate relatively healthy and balanced. Keeping busy has kept my mind occupied. I filled my brain with positive content and minimal doomscrolling. My mind and body feel good.
I pushed myself to go out for a short while this evening. I sat in once place and read a book (I'm currently reading The Final Hour by Tom Wood on Libby1). It's nice to get back into reading.
The notes app on my phone is recently filled with little reminders about focusing on the present, exercizing, mindfulness, remembering what matters (and doesn't matter), and reframing thoughts to see possible positive futures instead of negative ones. I'll get around to organizing my notes eventually but for now, I'm embracing the mess.
Reframing my mindset laid the groundwork for the balance I achieved today.
