Note to self…
Things to do in February.
Or how to recover from being dead, soul-starved, or starving for positive change.
1. Clean one room every day, take 6 minutes and clean it. If you haven’t finished after 6 minutes, stop, and do not continue, under any circumstances.
2. Eat like the french people do. Eat a variety of different foods with different flavors in every meal, but all the food in small portions. Eat each portion seperately, and pay attention to its flavors. Always include at least a taste of something fatty or sugary, or at least oily. Do not eat healthy or un-healthy. Just eat variety of stuff that taste pretty good.
3. Exercise each morning. Doesn’t matter if its only one minute. Obviously, one minute is not going to make you any healthier, but it will establish the routine of getting up to do this. Do not worry about short term health rewards. Look towards the long term results: one year from now. The routine of doing something every morning is more important than the actual exercises you perform when you are just starting-out and want to (a) avoid injury and (b) to continue exercising daily for your entire life. Once the routine is established, aim for minimum of 10-12 minutes and do not feel a need to increase it. Life is not the olympics.
4. Don’t be an asshole. Don’t expect that the wack-job grumpy looking dipshit that you don’t really know is actually an asshole. Thinking badly about others, when they haven’t actually done anything bad that you’re aware of is kind of rude. Besides, every asshole believes that the world is filled with assholes. That’s just sort of what an asshole is, and its contagious. It’s a plague that if you stop acting like an asshole, magically goes away. So just fucking let it magically do that.
5. Fucking don’t drink alcohol in February. If you feel like drinking in February, forget it, cause it will never happen. After February and March, drink as much as you want, I don’t care, I’m not interested. First we got to get this responsible living thing established, and quiting drinking for a few months is an easy way to lose a couple pounds around the waist.
6. Add a fish oil tablet from time to time at breakfast, not every morning, but whenever you happen to think about it, because it will (slightly ) effect your mood in a positive way, even if its just the placebo effect, it does work. You know it works because it has worked, and you remember it working. So take one from time to time, or not.
7. Drink water first thing in the morning, filtered water, nice-tasting water, and then throughout the day drink some water that comes from wherever, doesn’t matter. Never drink eight glasses though. Just drink as much as seems reasonable, and whenever you start to feel irritable with someone, just drink a sip of water. And then go punch them in the face.
8. Go to sleep earlier. Sleeping is good. Do not postpone sleeping for stupid reasons.
9. Cancel your Netflix subscription and your New York Times subscriptions. Stop letting yourself get sucked monthly for entertainment. It just isn’t good. Some of the things that entertain you are indeed entertaining you, but none of it is currently inspiring. And will not be inspiring until you get your act together and your head on straight. You can keep the internet connection though. You gotta have internet, and maybe SG cause that’s where the journal is. And the journal contains the simple list of various things to be buzy with. Various dificult things, such as 6 minutes of cleaning. Oh gosh, how will you stand it. And plus there’s the exercising for one minute, every day thing. Oh sweet mercy. Pshht, all of it is fucking easy and will carry back your soul from the land of narcisistic assholes, eventually, maybe, I think it can succeed, if nothing else, there is the placebo effect involved with having a detailed plan.
