Day 1 and 2 of trial Reset week
I started my "7 Day Reset Ritual" yesterday. It started off strong- went for a walk on the beach, had some comfort food for dinner (soup), went to bed early. Then I thought I'd get ambitious... oof.
Today I ventured to a local coffee shop because I thought I'd just get out of the house and go talk to actual human beings instead of just my cat. Ha! What a crazy idea... I've obviously been cooped up for a while because I clammed up like an oyster at a shuck and shag party. The barista was super nice and friendly. So why couldn't I even manage to tell her that I didn't order the iced latte? Great question. I'm a nutcase. Not really, but I've let this feeling of rejection lately get into my head. So I read my book and drank the cold coffee for about an hour while watching people come and go and then I went home and laughed with my boyfriend about the whole situation. I thought about the day and what I'm hoping to get out of this week. Then I journaled a little bit about it. So even though today didn't go quite as planned, I do actually feel a bit better and I'll tell you why.
What have I gotten out of this practice so far?
- It helps if you can laugh at yourself.
- Sometimes even a little teensy tiny bit of self-care, or courage, or change in routine can help shift your mindset toward a better path.
- I'm not a bad person just because I'm having a hard time. It doesn't make me ungrateful and this isn't permanent. I felt like I was letting you guys down by not having all my shit together. But that isn't fair because the whole point of this is that we all struggle and we are figuring it out together. I'm just taking this opportunity (that's what I'm calling this fun little period of time) to document what different things I'm trying in order to get better. I hope it helps someone here in some way.
I'll let you know how the next couple days go. Stay tuned. If this little experiment inspires you to do something different this week, let me know in the comments.
