I have really gotten shit done today! And man does it feel good.
It started with me making a big break through in my morning pages today. I don't really want to get too into it because it is something very personal, but it was an issue that has been holding me back and causing huge amounts of writer/artist block. It was a huge snowball effect of me being blocked and also desperate to continue to be productive for a sense of control and consistency during an extremely hard time.
It's funny because when I was actively blocked, I felt like I wasn't being productive at all and that I was SO far behind with my goals that I did a mid-month reassessment of my goals. Only to discover that I am not behind AT ALL. In fact, I'm right on track to finish all of my goals. Especially after today's positive burst of energy and productivity. Oh! Sorry I went off track, it's funny because I thought I was super behind, wasn't, and then when I realized I was fine I ended up having an incredibly productive day!
I hadn't finished wrapping our Yule presents and we are doing the gift exchange with our family on the 20th. That was giving me a bit of anxiety and I did ALL the wrapping today. Everything is wrapped, labeled, sorted, and set aside the presents that are able to be wrapped. Like we have one or two things still coming in the mail that I have to wrap. And I have a painting that is still drying and then I have to varnish it (and then it needs to dry again) and then I can wrap that one lol.
I finished my Personal Curriculum Template today too! This time I hand drew some doodles and stars and moons. I like it a lot more than the 30 Day Goal Planner that I made. But to be fair, I have been using the 30DGP every day since I printed it out, AND I've lost 3 pounds and feel a bit healthier since I started it. Which that is my goal that I planned in the booklet, lose some weight and get to a healthier state.
I also purged my bookshelf, cleaning up a pretty big corner of my side of our bedroom. I have a lot of books because my sweet hubby keeps spoiling me with all the books that I get interested in. And or a while all of my friends and family were giving me books too, AND I've gone to one of those discount book fairs that books are like 50 cents and got a whole bunch lol.
I'm also getting a whole stack of new manga, graphic novels, and books for Yule lol. I love reading.
I also finished the painting that's a present today which had been giving me a lot of anxiety for like months because originally this present was supposed to be a birthday present lol. And it's absolutely beautiful, if I do say so myself haha. Speaking of art, I also finished the line art on a digital illustration I'm doing for Phil. Phil has started writing a book of his own, it only took seven years of me pushing him too but hey better late than never lmao. But I'm drawing his main character for him and I finished the line art! And it's really hard for me because this is WAY outside of my comfort zone as far as drawing goes. I don't draw men and especially not hyper masculine men like he wanted. So yeah it was a little hard, but I'm happy with it and so is Phil so I can now go into the coloring stage.
I also cleaned the kitchen up, which was really needed, and did laundry which was also really needed. I still have more to do in the kitchen and in my room but I feel so good with how much I've gotten done today.
Tomorrow I have a few things planned to get done. Like sewing some patches onto Phil's vest, post my Personal Curriculum Template onto Etsy, coloring the digital illustration, varnishing the painting, do more dishes (never ending chore), and I don't know what else.
I feel a little manic, not going to lie. But it feels so nice to get stuff done and realize that I am doing fine and not so behind, especially now.
