"I write myself. Every single day. And summarising it is also a concern."

Since January I have started a new practice, the idea is not mine, I took it from Katerina Lengold. Every day - literally 5-7 minutes on myself:

  1. My state (body + emotions)
  2. One great moment from yesterday
  3. My tricks for today

🌿 And I want to share the results with you: Simple form, but powerful effect.
It helped me to build a support inside during these months.

🧠 What I specifically do on a daily basis:
- "My head feels heavy and tired, but there is clarity and peace inside."
- "Yesterday enjoyed meeting up with a friend, laughing like we were in our 20s."
- "Today's focus: two project tasks, client work, meeting with a colleague, maintaining a steady state."

🗂️ And once a week - three more important blocks:

  • Condition Monitoring - what states I was in most often during the week.
  • Task monitoring - what I did, what I didn't, what tasks were too much or not enough.
  • Nutrition monitoring - how I ate, where it helped me to be resourceful and where the opposite was true.

📉 What I used to do differently:
I used to plan more . Lists, deadlines, plans by the hour.
But almost no summarising.
Done - ticked the box - ran on.

Now I look back.
For the week. The whole thing.
What happened? What was too much? What wasn't enough? And most importantly, how did it all affect my state of being?

🔍 What I realised thanks to this practice:
✔️ I began to see cause and effect more clearly. For example: when there are a lot of difficult meetings in a row - I'm not there on Friday.
✔️ I started to understand what was happening to me, not just "what I did". I noticed how much the physical affects the emotional. How the body responds to tension, how illness colours the mood even if there is clarity inside.

✔️ And finally - I learnt to relate actions to meaning: why am I doing this, for what, what is the value in it?

📌 This has changed everything.
How I plan. How I allocate tasks. How I treat myself.

There was clarity in my thoughts, in my head, in my life.
I stopped wanting to "always be fit" and started following myself, my energy, not my "shoulds", even if I need to. I began to see the rhythm: apathy - recovery, heaviness - lightness, tension - rest. And in this - not chaos, but a wave. Not error, but nature.

And I'm learning not to fix myself, but to listen.

For me, as a psychologist and entrepreneur, it's about sustainability.
And as a human being, it's about caring.
