Today I have sone stuff I’ve been busy all day with my cousin making sourdough, which is currently rising, ready to be baked in the morning. Finally got my dehumidifier out of the box.

Today I reallized I had said no, without hesitation , to staying up late for someone else who didn’t need me too. It’s a small step in setting boundaries but I’m going in the right direction. I just came out and said no I go to bed at 10pm and didn’t think twice. This person always tries to control me in one way or another. They actually tried to control my exploration of a religious philosophy too because they have been doing it a long time
.I just ignored their behaviour about that and chose not to give them any other opportunity to do it.

I think the person is actually helping me to put boundaries in place.

I’ve noticed today when I’m researching job roles for the future when I return back to work, I’m getting a burning sensation around my head, I don’t know if it is stress or not but it’s quite concerning. Maybe it’s just that I’m not ready to be taking on any responsibilities.

Maybe I just need to build up my work tolerance by researching things or “ working” for a short amount of time

Bedtime. I’m going to post on here every night I go to bed at 10pm until it becomes a habit x
