Dear Intergalactic Supernovas,
We are entering another week of living and I am grateful for it! If you find your self reading this right now I just want to say thank you and we are making it through. In these weekly newsletters I’m going to reflect on the past week and the week ahead. Since July 20, 2022 I have been posting every single day on my book social media channels and I am proud of that! I have found a community where I can engage with others who like and enjoy the same things I do and this community is also introducing me to so many new literary works. My mind is expanding and I am becoming consistent with my work which will always be a win.
This week you can expect some fun videos on what I have be watching on the streaming services (reality shows!). Along with regular book updates of what I am reading now. I am doing a chapter by chapter review of Babel by R.F. Kuang on my TikTok (@bookishciara) that has been a lot of fun.
Last week I read I Am These Truths by Sunny Hostin and By the Book by Jasmine Guillory so expect new podcast episodes on those books this Tuesday and Thursday.
This past week I learned and put into practice that once you get over the mental hump your routine will be so much easier. I gave myself a goal of going to one dance class a day for ten days. After two days I was ready to reward myself with a day off because I felt like I deserved it after two days of going to dance class. My body didn’t hurt, I wasn’t sore, I just didn’t want to do anything on that day three. My mind was telling me to not go and stay in the house and do nothing, but then I realized that that is my actually habit, that is what I am used to and what I’m comfortable with. One day off will turn into two days into a month because that is what I am used to. So this is when my body took over and I had to shut off the voices in my brain working to convince me to relax on my goal and my body had to just do the work to put on my dance clothes, pack my bag, sign up for class, etc. And I went to class. And then day 4-7 I didn’t even second guess for one second going to class, it became so much easier to get up and go.
Many of use give up at the smallest inconvenience that may not even be an inconvenience and that could be what stands in the way between us a greatness.
Let’s be great this week!
