So, yesterday...weird. I had barely any sleep the night before (chronic insomnia I've had for years. It's quite bad at the moment).
Anyway, when I woke up yesterday morning I felt really low. I hadn't had much sleep and I was dreading having to face the day because of it.
But I got up, washed, and put some house clothes on. I did some tidying up (part of the major tidying up I've been doing over th past few months). Put together another carrier bag of clothes for the charity shop. I think I've taken 5 or 6 carrier bags of clothes along to the charity shop now? I can't remember. Threw some things out too.
I still have more to sort. I'm going through my entire wardrobe, bit by bit...and I have *a lot* of clothes.
It was really, really difficult at first, almost physically painful at first, but it's getting easier.
I also listed to some podcasts about minimalism as I was doing this. Big chunky, one hour podcasts, as I was busy sorting. Now, I'm in no way a minimalist (lol!), but there's nothing to say I can't take on board some of what they say about the link between material possessions and states of mind, and about learning to let go of matieral objects as well. Anything that helps you get through this, right?
That made me feel a lot better yesterday.
Today I'm feeling low again, so I'll do the same thing as I did yesterday. And hopefully that will pass some time and lift my spirits a bit.
I'll message a friend I bumped into at Christmas and see if she wants to meet up next week some time
I've also arranged to meet another friend for a drink tonight. It's someone that I haven't seen for about a year and a half, and both of us will have lots to talk about. I'll take a little time getting ready. Nothing fancy, but just so I feel good about myself.
Weekend I'm going to see another friend's art exhibition.
