Do you belong to any subs that might help?

Therapy is great! And I'm glad you have that option. I'm also in weekly therapy for several years, but I know there's a good few books which have really helped me progress outside of sessions, hence me asking 😊

That's some creative side gigs!! Maybe all three? Do you have a breakdown of how to achieve it?

As for the hikes, do you have a list you want to do?

Do you have a plan for it? Do you love yourself for who you are, regardless of how you look (as a person), even if you still want to change how you look?

Why the third one? Any event?

I agree, although I find it's a nice time to sit back and actively think about it. I've always been super goal driven, but I like new year because I kind of think about the big picture, what's changed in the last year, and what I want to change. I also can think about stuff I've wanted to change but struggle with.

Are you able to afford therapy?

You did it once, that's awesome. And you've recognised you still need to work on it.

Giving up smoking is also awesome!!!

It sounds like you've got healthy goals, and you've made some positive progress. I do think NY resolutions can be risky in that it's perfect or nothing, but sounds like you're well on your way to healthier habits and can move beyond set time frames or black and white thinking?+!

An app that reminds you on your phone A reminder on a smart watch A water bottle with hour markings to drink down over the day

That's probably it!

Always having a water bottle on hand is good. If I don't have it, I don't drink but if it's there, I'm more likely to remember!

That all sounds awesome and very inspiring! For the journalling and meditating, maybe an app is a good start to remind and prompt you? I really loved head space for meditation, but that's just me!

What's your plan for drinking more water? I feel like I always try but never have a plan and still don't do it!

Sounds like you're on your way!

What are you using to learn French? Duolingo?

I'd love to stop anxiety too. Do you have a way of getting there? Programs, books, or strategies?

This. Never got why people found it gross. It's water with minerals and stuff in it. That's it. Being heavily diluted in more water which is below you washing yourself off.

They used to wash clothes in urine to bleach it (I think bleach?). It's sterile and not really gross.
