December 22nd 2024

I like the idea of having a week in review. I spend little time actually praising myself for the little accomplishments and a lot of time beating myself up for the failures (real or not).So I was thinking: if I share my week with you guys it would 1) make me appreciate the nice moments and 2) keep me accountable in a way that I have to do something, not just sit and wallow in whatever dark place my brain may send me into.

Anyway, this was an emotionally loaded week. It was my last at the office, before the Winter Holidays, and we exchanged Secret Santa gifts. It was nice seeing the team so excited for the presents. I got, among others, two Yoga books and two super cool notebooks – I’ll add the pictures below. I’m a sucker for notebooks, I like ‘em all! Now I’m debating if I should keep them in their untouched form or have my wicked way and use them. Huh, decisions, decisions…

Sewing wise, I started working on a skirt for my mom and I’m terrified I’ll fail. This has my anxiety lights illuminating the entire street. Fear of failure kicked in and I’m avoiding starting the project. It’s nothing complicated, but my brain is weird.

Speaking of things that make me anxious, I also dreaded working on my secret bookish project. It scares me a lot, as this is a really long term commitment (in my mind at least). That’s also something that will be dealt with starting tomorrow (exactly what a person with fear of failure and anxiety would do… hide. Tomorrow will be better). I’ll make sure of it.

It was a good week reading wise. I’ve finished 3 books and one audiobook. I’ve spent a lot of time planning content and even managed to stick with the schedule. The rest of the night will be spent reading again and maybe outlining some reviews for the coming days.

So far, this has been my week. How about yours? Let me know if the comments below 2 things that made it great for you. Remember that happiness is in all things.

Until next time, read and love a lot!
