I’ve been sleeping a lot. Ever since my abilify was increased to 30mg I seem to have to take a nap every day mid morning. I’m feeling good and stable I just need to get myself to exercise because I’ve been slacking with that a lot. So I’m gonna get on the treadmill today. Watching a new anime I’m enjoying. And have been reading a lot.

I’m about to make a coffee and finish a book I’m reading.

I’m trying to use DBT to make wise mind decisions because I can be very impulsive. Also been keeping track of my emotions and also a log of activities I do that make me feel good.

Reading has been really good for me. It reduces my stress levels a lot. And it’s a good way to improve my focus which is really bad. Practicing ukulele and violin is always very beneficial to me as well, and any kind of art. Drawing, painting, coloring. Eventually I want to learn how to crochet. I have the supplies for that but idk where to start with it. It’s supposed to be super relaxing. And you can make a lot of cool stuff. That’s the kind of stuff I have to use beginners mind with otherwise I get angry and frustrated if I’m not perfect or improving at my hobbies “fast enough”.

There’s gonna be an adult coloring night at my library so I’m gonna go to that. It’s at the end of July. Will be a good way to get out of the house and do something fun.

I meditate and journal every single day and those are very helpful as well.
