Can Anyone Recommend Some Content Creators That Focus On Leveling Up, Developing Healthy Habits And Discipline,

I have a bit of a dilemma and I need some outside opinions.

I have the chance to take the next five weeks off of work (somewhat, they’d need help with some things maybe six days I know for sure in the next five weeks). During this time, I’ll receive a paycheck near the end of May, and I can file for unemployment benefits until I go to Colorado in mid June. I wanted to take this time initially to continue studying Spanish, work on my health, and build some good lifestyle habits.

however, I’ve been contacted by a different branch of my company on the university campus to help with dorm cleaning for the summer until I leave. All I know for now is that I’d work ten hours on Monday, from 7am to 5pm, and then I’d find out the schedule going forward. I don’t drive or have a car so I’m a little worried about traveling around campus for cleaning, especially since my friends aren’t going to be working with the dorm cleaning either.

part of me says take the break from work, enjoy life a little bit until you go to Colorado, and file for unemployment. (I’d work 40 hours a week for 8 weeks in Colorado). The other part of me says that I should keep working and make the money because it’ll be decently more then unemployment would give me. Mentally and emotionally, I am a bit burnt out from my semester of work and really do want some time off. But the financial aspect of it is what is keeping me torn.

what should I do?

Mini Update August 24, 2023 🎀

It's been 9 days of me being sick and while I'm still not 100% better, I am feeling so much better than I did this weekend. I finally can talk without pain again, I can drink coffee again, and I can eat food that's not chicken soup again. I still have a bit of a cough, but I really do feel so much better. I'm thankful for my univeristy health center for providing me healthcare and medication because it has helped immensely.

I want to say that I should be back to my regular updates either Sunday or Monday, as I think I will be fully better by then. I miss working out, I miss my morning routine. The sleep has been wonderful in my recovery from this mystery illness (not the vid and not strep, thankfully), but I am a morning person and I love my routines.

I have kept up with my skincare, but honestly, I've been so focused on both keeping up with my schoolwork and trying to rest and heal that I haven't had time for much else.

Some updates on my life:

got rejected from a job I applied for on campus but am still waiting to hear back on the other campus job. I just know I'm gonna get it, it's a matter of when, not if <3

My current job has reduced my hours to 3 days of work a week because of me falling ill, which I understand, although I don't know how that's gonna affect me financially just yet.

I love my classes so far, my professors are pretty cool for the most part and the work is doable as long as I do it in a timely manner.

I love digital note-taking, I don't know why I didn't try it sooner, but I think I am gonna stick with it as I adore aesthetic notes, and my Ipad is so convenient for it as I always have it on me.

Water for the win! I was not used to staying properly hydrated, but since getting sick, I drink over 1 liter of water a day, and it's made all the difference.

I tried a new Korean foaming face wash, and it dried my skin so bad that my face burned and feels super textured now. But I do like the oil cleansing balm I tried. You win some, you lose some.

Thats all for now! Will be back to my normal updates soon, and I'm thinking about posting either my current skincare routine and tips or some school and studying tips? Which would you guys prefer?

Also, I'm about to reach 200 followers and I wanted to say thank you guys! This blog was created as a way to keep me accountable and the way its grown has blown my mind. I feel like I have a community that can help keep me accountable to reach my goals and also keep me encouraged. You guys are amazing!! 🩷

Day 27: 90 Day Challenge 🎀

yesterday was a pretty good day. However, I only slept 4 hours last night due to late night caffiene intake, and I am feeling it this morning. Hopefully, I'll be able to get some stuff done today and now rot in bed all day.

🏋‍♀️ Physical Health

gym glute day for 1.5 hours

walked home 25+ minutes

cooked pita bread pizzas for the first time (delicious!)

🧠 Mental Health

I dont remember if I did anything for my mental health yesterday, but I don't think I did

♥️ Emotional Health

again, can't recall anything specific at the moment

📚 Intellectual Health

I know for a fact I did nothing for my intellectual health yesterday even tho I know I gotta start doing something for it

🏘 Adulting

got my unemployment account unlocked

applied for unemployment

bought groceries

picked up some paperwork from my job about the temporary unemployment

Day 28-29: 90 Day Challenge 🎀

For yesterday (Wednesday) and today, I've done very close to absolutely nothing due to immense lack of sleep and trying to recover from all the exhaustion of being unable to sleep properly.

I knee this challenge wasn't going to be easy all the time, but after napping a bit today and working out my daily tasks and schedules for the next week, I'm feeling confident about tomorrow. I've decided to incorporate a lot more health and wellness activities into my daily routines, especially since I am unable to take my mental health medications due to insurance issues. I figure it is up to me to take charge of my health, sort of as it's own side challenge to keep myself healthy and stable and sane.

Insurance issues aside, I plan to budget for bi weekly therapy sessions, as even without medication, therapy has been life changing for me and luckily I can still see my therapist for a reduced price per session.

This challenege will be a bit more wellness, health and overall productivity based moving forward until the semester starts again which will lead it to be more school/intellectual focused.

I am definitely tasked with a heavy load of mental and physical self work, but these next 5 weeks of low stress and low priorities will give me the building tools I need.

Day 10 - 90 Day Challenge 🎀

I feel really good about today. I got a lot done despite trying to nap three times (I wasn't able to actually get any sleep), and the only reason I kept trying to nap was because I've been up since 3am. It's easy to get a lot done when you've been up forever.

cooked a healthy breakfast + ate a serving of fruit (red grapes)

completed all of chapter 14 notes for psyc

🏘 Adulting

organized my desk drawer

reached out + invited my older brother to come see me since he was in town (he'll be here soon!)

had a phone call with my dad

🥰 Self Love/Care

morning skincare

night skincare (just moisturizer, I was tired)

took a warm shower + brushed my teeth (as gross as it sounds that I don't do it every day, depression sucks and I'm proud of myself for even one win )

made my bed (trying to make it a habit)

let in morning sunlight until it began to get dim outside (keeps electricity costs down and boosts my mood when I'm in my room)

I am very proud of myself for today despite my lack of motivation these last few days. Hopefully, this carries over to tomorrow, and I can be productive at least a little bit before i have to go to work. There's still time in the day, but I'm satisfied with today, which is why I'm posting this a bit early in the evening. Thank you and much love to everyone who has been commenting encouraging and supportive things it makes it easier to be open and honest about my struggles, mental health, and overall well-being.

I mentioned that I went home early from work on Monday and that was due to having a full blown panic attack in the work office in front of my supervisor. I think I had been stressed about school stuff and when I felt myself getting sick I just panicked and ended up with a near debilitating attack. I’m so grateful for my supervisor, she talked me down from the panic attack and then let me go home because she saw how it was affecting me. I love my work family.
