[Short term] One thing you're proud of

[dawning_light]

In the spirit of getting things rolling, let's do a quick exercise! Because the little things we accomplish every day are crucial to our long term goals, we should be sure to acknowledge and celebrate them. It's all well and good to want to learn Chinese, but you can't get there without the day-to-day effort of learning new words and characters!

So, here's the exercise: Comment with at least one thing you did today that you're proud of. It doesn't have to be a big thing. It can be multiple things! It can be absolutely anything.

And if you can't think of something, or you didn't accomplish as much as you wanted, rather than get down on yourself try writing a sentence about what you're going to do to improve matters. If you accidentally slept in when you intended to get up early, instead of telling yourself how lazy you are, write that tomorrow you're going to put your alarm clock across the room so you have to get up in order to shut it off. Negative self-talk doesn't get things done!

Go, fight, win!

Oh man, definitely major props to you for calling in. I'm much the same way when it comes to that, so I'm really glad you did.

And tea and sleep aids, coupled with the exercise, sound like excellent ways to start battling that insomnia! \o/

It makes a world of difference, I've learned. Mood wise, I feel way better for it the next day.

I'm hoping they work! So here's to having a better night's rest. Thank you!
