Good morning. I slept good. Woke up at 3am because my cat kept biting my fingers and patting g my face because she wanted to play. I stayed up for an hour then fell back asleep. So in total I got 8 hours 20 minutes of sleep.
I started bullet journaling. Hopefully it’s helpful.
Some of the categories I put in for each month:
-Habit trackers (meds, teeth brushing, meditation, exercise, violin)
-Reading log, books I’ve finished for a particular month
-Shows I’m currently watching
-Movies I watched
-how much sleep I got each day of the month
-Games I played and whether I finished them or not or am still playing them
-How many times I volunteered that month
-Any upcoming holidays or birthdays
-Appointments, important things to do
-Favorite songs of the month
-Goals of the month
-How many violin lessons I took each month and what dates
-A section for any important reminders
-Things I’d like to do this month
-Current meds
-Any med changes or side effects to note
-Monthly budget
In my December one I also put a changes to make in 2025 section and a things I did well in 2024 section
For things I did well this year:
-Self care
-Ending my relationship that was not good for me
-Stopped taking edibles/vaping weed
-Read a ton, 60 plus books and counting
-Doing well with keeping apartment clean
-Went to a cafe by myself twice
-Went to the movie theater by myself twice
-Made time for hobbies
-Took my meds consistently for the most part with very few exceptions
-Opened up more in therapy and started EMDR
-Learning to cope with and manage dissociation
-Accepting my diagnosis. I’ve had schizoaffective disorder bipolar type for over 10 years but I always had a hard time acknowledging it. I’m doing better now with learning how to manage it and also accepting I have some limitations due to it but also still challenging myself and working on things.
-Learning to be both more reliable and more independent
-Getting the paperwork signed by my psychiatrist to become my own payee
-Opening my own bank account
-Keeping up with my volunteer job and being consistent with that
