hey Rach! i’ve been feeling exactly how you described you felt in the beginning. what habits have you been implementing or what have you started doing to feel better and kind of “reset your life” like you were talking about? thank you so much 🫶🏼

@RachelCatherine 7 ай бұрын

I have just given myself a much more structured schedule / morning routine which has been really helpful! As soon as I get up I start my day (drink greens, get into activewear, do my skincare & hair, go for a walk, etc.) rather than sitting on the couch for the first 30-60 mins of my day scrolling on my phone or reading! Obviously that works for some people so you have to find what works for you, but I feel so much better when I start my day with 'tasks' rather than just 'chilling' if that makes sense? (it is a lot harder lol but I feel better for it). But I still make time to scroll on my phone & read later in the day!!

I've been commenting on your videos that you should read Sorcery of Thorns and I can't lie that I made a little scream when i saw you reading it! I know it was not because of me, but I will tell myself it was. :) I had the exact same "I haven't felt like this about a book in so long!" feeling, I hoping you enjoy it as much as I did!

@mollygasson 7 ай бұрын

I am feeling EXACTLY the same as you at the moment. I feel like I’ve introduced so many unhealthy habits into my life like going on my phone first thing and I just wanna focus on getting out of that. I’ve also not been feeling romance books in a way, I don’t wanna read anything cute or sweet I’ve been reading romances that only have like trauma or a crime/thriller plot I have no idea why😂 everything’s feeling so slumpy at the moment but you’re inspiring me to get myself out of this headspace ❤

I'm on a book buying ban too until the end of the year!!! (i'm solely a kindle reader though)... BUT i've already pre-ordered a few books that will be released before the end of the year 😬 so i will be adding to be TBR with books that i've already set money aside for. Starting today with Betting On You by Lynn Painter. I am sooo excited to start reading that one. 😍

23:03 I made a “book bingo” chart for myself for 2024, because I also own way too many unread books and I just keep buying new ones. So its a 4x4 chart and whenever I finish a vertical or horizontal row I get to buy a new book! So finishing 4 books = buying 1 new book. I put the names of the books in the squares as well, so its not like I pick 4 books to read and count it as 4 in a row because Ive already mixed them up and put them in the chart.

@EpsilonEmerald 7 ай бұрын

A few months ago I thought to myself I bet RC is an upholder, because you often manage to read all the books you tell yourself you have to when you do your TBR jar (whereas Destiny and Olivia don't). But maybe you're an obliger and your jar is a form of outer accountability. Hmm

@RachelCatherine 7 ай бұрын

hahahah I think you're right about the jar being a form of accountability!! But I also think I'm an obliger that leans toward the side of upholder!
