A 7th grader's answer to what is creativity?

Creativity is doing more than the first thing you think of.

Push yourself to do the things that might take some extra time and discipline, but will help you grow in the long run. journaling, cooking homemade meals, working out, stepping out of your comfort zone, confronting issues, completing tedious tasks. self care isn't always about providing comfort for yourself, it's about doing the things you might not want to in the moment for the wellbeing of your future self.

@AIToolsTips

You cannot beat anyone if you cannot even do what you said you’d do when you said you’d do it.

Make Promises. Keep Promises

It is impossible to get better and look good at the same time. Give yourself permission to be a beginner.

Abundant breakfasts. Light dinners. Eating right to the point of satiation. Fresh pressed juices. Eating outside. Adding salt. Bitters before meals. Good company negating the effects of an occasional indulgence. Laughter to aid digestion. Love to engage the parasympathetic.

meditating afterward, i realised (or remembered) that i am full of emotions i don’t know how to feel. more to the point: i often don’t even realise i’m having them.

loneliness is probably the strongest. it covers me like a cheap ghost costume - muting me to the outside world - keeping me within myself.

i appreciate the melodies of the birds that somehow manage to reach me.

Something I’ve been working on this year is thinking with AND rather than OR.

This person did this bad thing AND they’ve also done good things.

This person got lucky AND they’ve worked hard.

Your wife didn’t say thank you AND she has before.

AND creates room for reality.

nobody is more stressed than 19-26 year olds thinking they are running out of time.

You didn't have a bad day.

You had a bad 15 minutes and then decided to indulge in it.

yeah, i do think writing in lower case is cool. i do think my blog is looking cool so far. and, yes, i want it to be cool as shit forever.

maybe that’s because i've been tense my whole life - the kind of tense 99% of people wouldn't understand. the kind of tense that doesn't even allow you to know you're tense. 

i spend my days writing reports and emails with perfect punctuation - i just want to chill a little in my personal life
