Anti-Blitz Vow to Myself: accept joy without the need for perfection

As we get closer and closer to the New Year, I find myself deeper and deeper in my ✨reflection era✨—which you’ve probably noticed from my recent posts. For this anti-blitz, I’m intentionally choosing to focus on my relationship with myself. That naturally includes both my physical and mental health.

I’ve recently been going through some medication adjustments that have been pretty rough on my mind and body, so this phase is really about taking care of myself while I recalibrate. Showing myself love through small, daily choices—choosing what’s best for my overall wellbeing. That looks like stretching before bed (which I’m officially committing to for this anti-blitz), taking my medications on time, spending time with people I love, journaling, and making space for things that genuinely bring me joy. Which brings me to my vow.

I’m a hobbyist. I’m always trying new things—but I usually give them up the moment I realize I’m not immediately good at them. The problem was never the hobby itself, it was my expectation: I wanted to be good the second I touched it. That mindset almost always led to frustration and disappointment.

About three months ago, I started taking drawing lessons on my iPad. I grew up with my grandma living with us—she was an art teacher—and from a young age I felt deeply connected to creative things: drawing, painting, coloring, writing. But as I got older, and harsher with myself, I stopped allowing myself to enjoy the practice of doing something just because I liked it—not because I needed to be good at it.

So here’s where I’m at right now.

My current "wellness" streaks are:

🔥 57 days of drawing lessons

🔥 47 days of journaling

Also here is my ✨emotional landscape✨ for this week and some of my recent favorite drawings <3

What is YOUR vow to yourself this anti-blitz?
