Quick lil list of resolutions while giving credit to having already started most of these shifts.
Destimulate. I’m watching commercials, I’m reading for pleasure, I’m making myself “bored” so I can have a thought outside of buying shit or half reading the internet for the fastest densest info.
More tactile activities like crochet, collage, journaling with different color pens.
Yoga- my cute sweet little scoliosis body doesn’t benefit from Made MTV like series of over working out at a level that my crooked spine haaaates.
Offline within reason. I keep reaching to my phone to scroll Reddit, because Instagram has been off of it since last night. How To Do Nothing: Resisting The Attention Economy. But within an 80:20 balance ratio.
I honestly think I’ll want to keep eating cheese. so I won’t make that a resolution. So, be okay with inevitably eating cheese. For example, I’ve already had queso dip today from Don Julios.
Radical acceptance cont.: I hibernated slept all week. I napped, I forgot a therapy appointment (which is like mental hospital amounts of wild for me), and I arrived to a happy hour in unfinished makeup and a half assed fit and fully just went with it.
Rewriting. Rob always gets on my ass about how I’ve already done the hard parts of projects, to then drop them for a new shiny task- instead of editing and punching up. Did you know I’ve fully written a 90 page film about the 23 hours I spent in Corpus Christi with my sister for her boyfriend’s suicide funeral? And you know what I did when I “finished” the draft? Nothing. Nothing at all. After watching A Real Pain, I was like, okay let’s give Ole Miss Guy Suicide Funeral another pass.
I’m only buying really great solid basics or unique statement pieces.
Keeping up hibernation. We’re just little creatures, it makes sense we don’t function like sexy Ex Machina bots.
Ending a list I initially wanted to be 24 or 25 bullets long, so I can eat something and get dressed to be with some cutie friends.
xoxo,
this is an incomplete list, and we love that for me
