10/25 - Genuinely being busy

Today I’m exhausted. And honestly, it’s not even because I had a busy day. It’s because my day is packed with rituals and commitments I’ve set for myself.

Drinking my herbal teas, working for work, working on my own passions, content for TIkTok, 10K steps, working out, spending time with my mom, making healthy food, journaling, cleaning, mediation, reading, checking up on friends, night time routine, hair oiling, gua sha, and more.

Literally just being on top of my daily commitments to myself is making me genuinely busy.

It truly feels like I’m so busy focusing on myself that I don’t have time for anyone’s BS.

This matters because once upon a time ago, I used to be the girl that would wait for phone calls from a guy or be too available. And if I wasn’t too available, I would almost fake “being too busy”. But now, I’m genuinely actually busy taking care of myself. And the self commitments are so vital to the point, I’ll actually be like “i have to go” or mentally will be like “damn, I still have so much stuff to do like walk, journal, bedtime routine, gua sha.” and this is literally because I made promises to never just skip, so it almost feels like appointments. I can’t miss.

And honestly, I think this is the key to not giving a shit. Because you’re so busy in your own life that you don’t care or aren’t putting your eggs in anyone else’s basket.

So it all starts with making promises/commitments to yourself.

9/10 - Busy but in a good way
