I am a creature of habit, as many of us are. I have a routine during the day and night although I do enjoy some spontaneity in the mix sometimes too, it’s a nice break from the monotony!
I love to text, I would much rather text than talk on the phone. I find talking on the phone exhausting, I would much rather talk in person. I could text all day though, I enjoy it. I just love my cell phone in general. There is a routine that I have every night that you might find a bit odd, but the reason behind it is what keeps me sane.
Every single night I delete all of my text messages after I make sure that I have already responded to them. I am the type of person that will analyze things to no end, I love to look at the meaning behind things and I use to go back and reread conversations especially if there was a disagreement, or if friends went quiet suddenly. I would go back to reread what conversations we had to see if it was anything that I said.
Clearly, this is very detrimental behavior to one’s mental health and for that reason, I delete my text messages every night. This way, when I wake up in the morning, I start my day with a blank slate. I don’t spend time analyzing anything, I keep moving forward with no turning back!
Do you have any sort of routines like this that you have found to better your well-being? Please share if you would like!
I used to do the same – keep re-reading chats especially confrontational ones. So whenever I have any such conversation – I just delete the chat after to not keep replaying it in my head.

It is so helpful. It’s torture to keep rereading everything, but I suppose maybe human nature too. Thank you so much for reading and for your support!

This is probably something I should do! It’s like letting go of “things” like we talked about yesterday.
