Describe your most ideal day from beginning to end.
Ugh, I love this prompt so much because my ideal day is just so… soothing to think about.
My day starts at five in the morning. Yes, I’m one of those people who does, unfortunately, romanticise early mornings. My body, however, doesn’t agree.
So, I wake up at five and immediately drink half a litre of water before sitting up straight and meditating for like five minutes. Nothing crazy — just setting a positive vibe for the day, thanking the universe, and thinking my affirmations in silence.
Once done, I change into a very cute, very aesthetic workout outfit and start my warm-up. For the next 45 minutes, I indulge in a contortion practice session / my daily light workout. By now it’s almost six.
At six o’clock, I go outside for a walk. I get in around seven thousand steps and return home in another 45 minutes.
Next up is self-care — starting with a quick face wash and a soothing face mask. For my hair, I put on a hair mask.
I brush my teeth while the masks dry and make myself some butterfly pea tea — yes, I am someone who can enjoy a tea just because it’s aesthetic. The benefits of this tea are just second effects. Of course, drinking the tea is the next step — while reading a good book or maybe journaling.
By now the masks are dry, so it’s time to hop into the shower. I have an elaborate shower routine — dry brushing my body, shower gel, scrub, shaving, shampooing, and conditioning, followed by serums for both body and hair.
And no, none of this is for the benefits. All for the vibes.
Outside awaits skincare. Now, in the present day, my skincare routine is PRETTYYYYY elaborate. I start with toner, five serums, aloe vera gel, face oil, eye cream, moisturiser, and sunscreen. This will remain as is on an “ideal” day.
This is followed by makeup. Presently, I do not use makeup daily, but I really want to — because like I said, I don’t do anything for benefit or loss, but for ✨vibes✨. I get my “that girl” face on — and this is when I officially start my day.
I have my breakfast — which is healthy because we’re thinking ideal. And there has to be a fruit juice with my meal — just because.
At this point it’s already nine in the morning.
I start working on Shreyalogy — product designing, plot writing, connecting with people, pitching ideas — all of that.
At noon, I take a break and help my mother make lunch. We make something healthy but fancy. Maybe Gatta Curry — because it’s MY ideal day.
We have lunch, and I go back to working on Shreyalogy for a couple more hours. My work day ends at four in the afternoon.
I listen to a crime podcast or watch a crime show. I could also watch a few motivational videos or skill-development videos — you know, the usual spiral.
At five, I decide to shoot some content for my YouTube / Instagram. Once done, I spend the next whole hour editing, piecing everything together, and getting it ready to post.
In the evening, we drink tea, chit-chat, and just enjoy our time together.
Dinner is served before seven, and once we’re done with everything else under the sun, at eight in the night, the family sits together with card or board games — laughing and arguing the night away.
I go to sleep at ten after a quick shower and a LOT of skincare.
My ideal day doesn’t have mosquitoes. They’ve gone extinct — and so I sleep peacefully without a mosquito net or All Out.
