Okay, so I wanted to share something I’ve been doing lately. Things felt kinda all over the place for a while, you know? My mood was swinging, felt like I couldn’t get a grip. It was tiring.
I decided I needed to do something, not just think about it. Needed some stability, I guess. So, I started really small. Like, almost embarrassingly small.
My Little Experiment
I picked one thing: making my bed. But not just throwing the covers on. I mean, I really focused on it each morning.
- Pulled the bottom sheet super tight, tucked it in all corners.
- Straightened the top sheet just so.
- Fluffed the pillows and set them up properly.
- Smoothed out the duvet, making sure it hung evenly.
Did this every single day. Didn’t miss one. Then, after about a week of that, I added another simple thing: I started prepping my work lunch the night before. Chopped veggies, put stuff in containers, the whole deal. Again, did it every single night.
What Happened
Honestly, at first, it felt a bit silly. Like, is this really making a difference? But I kept going. And slowly, I noticed a shift. Starting the day with that one small, completed, orderly task… it kinda set a different tone. Felt less chaotic in my head.
Having lunch ready meant one less thing to stress about during the day. It freed up mental space. And the weirdest part? I felt more emotionally steady. Little things didn’t seem to bug me as much. Didn’t fly off the handle or get overwhelmed as easily. Felt more grounded, more solid inside. Like my feelings weren’t just bouncing around anymore.
Someone mentioned this ‘moon trine saturn’ thing was going on. Now, I’m not big on astrology, don’t really follow it closely. But when they described it as a time where emotions and structure kinda work together well, providing stability… it just clicked. It felt like what I was experiencing through my little routines. My feelings felt more manageable because I was building these small, consistent structures in my day.
So, yeah. Still making the bed like a drill sergeant and prepping those lunches. It’s not some huge life overhaul. But these small, consistent actions, this little bit of discipline I imposed… it really helped me feel more emotionally balanced and capable. It’s the practice, the consistency. It worked for me.
