Binge-watching... and eating!
Honestly, I don’t understand people who don’t like re-watching movies or TV Shows. The only thing I love more than watching a good movie is re-watching it. I find that almost every time, when you see the plot unfold again, you notice something you had not paid attention to before. Sometimes I even grow to love characters I did not like the first time around. It is amazing to me that I can still have fun rediscovering movies and TV shows that I have watched numerous times. I love Disney movies, action movies, crime series, Harry Potter (yes, big fan, and boy have I watched them often!), comedies, dramas, name it! I think there is a genre for every occasion and every mood. I can easily spend a whole day in my pajamas with my buddy Netflix and a whole lot of snacks while being completely and happily entertained. Although sometimes, I must admit, I tell myself I am just being lazy or procrastinating. It is probably true to some extent, but I am also very passionate about stories. Whether it is a book, a documentary, an article, or a movie; I love hearing people’s stories. I love reading other bloggers and writers, I love listening to people sharing a little bit of their lives, I like getting to know an artist through their creation. So yes, I am a good procrastinator, but I realized it is also just something I love, and that I should allow myself to take an entire day, once in a while, to just be entertained and to connect with other people’s stories, without judging myself or feeling lazy.

No more resolutions: alarm clocks and rustic getaways
I wanted to do things a little differently this year: no big unachievable resolutions, no repenting on what I didn’t do in 2020, no judgment towards where I am and how things are in my life at the beginning of the new year. It is so easy to use the new year as an excuse to start a thousand projects that will never see the light of day, so this year I mostly focused what went well in 2020: the good habits I maintained, the new hobbies, interests and skills that I developed that I want to include in my life. Se here are five things that helped me kickstart 2021:

Why I think 2021 will be a nightmare
For me, living with anxiety means being scared, all the time, of every single little thing that could go wrong. I am scared of the dark, I am especially scared to lose the people I love, and when I cook (even if it is just toast) the smell often makes me believe that the house is on fire. So, it is probably a safe guess to think that my pessimist vision of 2021, being a nightmare and all, is mostly due to the usual anxious thoughts taking over me. But… what if it is not?
