it's ok if it takes you a little longer than you thought

day 19/100 ~ 100 days of productivity

notes: ♡ achievements: worked on my english learner portfolio, worked on my english reading notes, worked on my spanish homework, make a birthday cake (party tomorrow!), went grocery shopping, got my learner permit photo (and temporary license) ♡ today was long and tiring. lately, i've been feeling so much more exhausted than usual. i'm finding it harder to get work done. at least it's the end of the day. tomorrow is a new day and i will make it good.

knowing when to let go

here are some insights on knowing when to let go. perseverance, though a good quality, can be harmful when you push yourself too far past your limits.

perseverance vs letting go while perseverance has its benefits, it's essential to weigh the costs and potential downsides of continuing. consider whether continuing will lead to incremental learning and development or if it it's causing wasted time and energy.

signs it's time to give up 1. obsession. if a problem consumes your thoughts and affects other aspects of your life, reconsider your reasons for persisting. 2. enjoyment. are you still enjoying the journey, or has it become a burden? 3. health. stubbornly holding on can negatively impact your well-being. 4. better alternatives. sometimes letting go opens doors to better opportunities.

relationships when considering giving up on a relationship: process grief and hurt, let go of resentment, and wish the other person well without needing them in your life. remember to learn from past experiences.

practical steps 1. acknowledge your feelings. recognize and accept your emotions related to what you want to let go of. it’s okay to feel sad, disappointed, or frustrated. 2. identify what you're holding on to. be specific about what you’re trying to release. is it a relationship, a goal, a habit, or a belief? 3. reflect on the why. understand why you’re holding on. Is it fear, attachment, or habit? reflect on whether it serves your best interests. 4. create distance. physically or emotionally distance yourself from the situation. take a break, step back, and gain perspective. 5. practice self-compassion. be kind to yourself. letting go doesn’t mean failure; it’s a courageous choice.

strategies 1. release rituals. write a letter expressing your feelings, then burn or tear it up. visualize releasing what you’re holding onto, like releasing a balloon into the sky. 2. focus on the present and future. redirect your energy toward positive aspects of your life. set new goals or explore new interests.

you must sacrifice who you are

make yourself proud. fuck everyone else.
