Leading a notebook as a life-changing habbit
Hello, Ladies and Gentleman, this post will be about how one simple decision for your own good can change your lifestyle. About notebooks, I have two, one standard A5 for my thoughts, written in my room. The second notebook is smaller, it's for the same purpose, but during work (especially night shifts) or traveling. Everything started four months ago, when I started my white collar job. I was excited at the beginning, but for a time I was getting more and more stressed, exhausted, making mistakes and feeling of pressure led me to bad habits from the past, like porn. Also, I just started drinking alcohol, not like drinking to death, but by buying myself a beer, or just drinking alcohol from home storage, hiding it from my parents. I was feeling bad and depressed. I don't know any 20 yo in my area who went to weekend university and got a job at the same time. I'm always the one who provides maturity and wisdom in my friends group. A lot of bad events were just escalating, like multiple rejections, delayed promotion. Only one thing that's holding me to this day (by inspiration) is the Mad Men series. The character of Don Draper just persuaded me to try wearing a suits without vests, which new style made good impression on my peers at university (especially ladies). I even bought a fedora. During one episode, the protagonist started leading a journal, that made me into writing my thoughts, feelings, everything I has in my head at any moment. This idea was great shot, my written thoughts lead me to stop feeling bad, expressing my thoughts, that lead me into into idea trying to get rid of stress instead of fighting with addictions (cause they start to dissapear with stress), which lead me to succesful pushing forward, rejected my over-working routine I had before, for caring about my skin, diet, habbits and sleep, even finding more outfit inspirations from what I have. That's how one habbit lead to change way of my thinking and living. Cheers
