THINGS TO CONTINUE

• enjoying a diverse and abundant selection of entertainment without reaching for consumptive goals (numbered goals like 'read x books in a year' are my enemy here)
  • keeping up my habit of writing out my thoughts on media
• curating an incredibly dramatic yet comfortable wardrobe
• redoing my bedroom and making it a pleasant place to live
• trying out new music frequently instead of falling back into my trap of only listening to the stuff i listened to when i was 20
• keeping habits like flossing and skin care going even when i miss a day or two
• being less ambitious with my gardening and sticking to what works
