the five minute journal / my routine

(english version is available below)

в своем октябрьском списке хорошего я упомянула, что наконец-то начала регулярно вести the five minute journal, а сегодня хочу рассказать об этом чуть подробнее. возможно, ты уже пробовал(а) его заполнять, но потом у тебя пропал энтузиазм. или же хочешь попробовать, но не до конца понимаешь, что в нем писать изо дня в день. если же ты понятия не имеешь, о чем я говорю, но тебе хотелось бы вести более осознанный образ жизни и чувствовать большую благодарность за все то, что у тебя есть, этот пост может быть интересен и тебе.

i mentioned that i had finally started using the five minute journal on a regular basis in my october good things list. today i would like to tell you about it a bit more. maybe you have already tried to use it, but then lost your enthusiasm, or maybe you would like to start, but have no clue what to write in it. whereas if you do not even know what i am talking about right now, but you would like to lead a more mindful way of life, as well as feel gratitude for everything your life consists of, this post might be interesting for you as well.

do and don`t

(текст на русском - ниже)

a couple of days ago i was contacted by valya, a founder of milestone, a blog about productivity. she asked me to share my life dos and don`ts, and naturally i agreed. i must say that it was much easier to come up with dos than with don`ts, which is why there are seven of the former and just three of the latter. after writing the list, i realized that i was satisfied with the result, so i translated it in order to share it here with you. the initial publication is available here.

on waking up even earlier

(текст на русском - ниже)

hello! maybe you know, maybe you don`t, but last year i wrote a couple of posts dedicated to mornings. one was about my morning routine and another one was about waking up early. there were a few months in between them, and now six months later i feel like it is perfectly fine to touch upon this subject again. why? well, because i have recently decided to wake up even earlier. i must admit, that doing so gives me an opportunity to do what i enjoy the most, therefore i have extreme motivation, but sometimes it is hard anyway.
