Optimize Your Life
I woke up this morning in a very cranky mood. Not being able to find a concrete reason for it, I attempted to shrug it off, following my morning routine as I normally do, but then I sat down and checked my work assignments. Oh. That thing. That thing that’s giving me stress since I’m…
Hate is such a negative word. We are raised to hate bad things and love good things. We’re innately inclined to avoid certain behaviors because we know naturally that they are wrong or potentially dangerous. We don’t grab snakes because we know they could harm us. We find safety in the shelter of our homes…
First – this is a very faith-based post. My faith is probably the most personal thing in my life. I love talking around it and sharing what feels good, but faith brings out a part of me that I normally prefer to keep to myself. I don’t like opening the door for people to try…
(freewriting error: i started writing this a few days ago, and just tied it up tonight) So my coach is gone for a week, and I’m keeping myself busy. I’m off today and tomorrow (today is almost over), so I’ve been working on a narrative for a game, doing some deep cleaning, negotiating the removal…
First, I am not a doctor. These supplements are available over-the-counter in the US, and work very well for me for the reason I am using them. I came up with this combination back in 2010, and I’m certain I’m not unique in this stack – I believe it’s available as a single dose pill…
Oh, to get a full eight hours of sleep. At night. All together. I have a lot to talk about but nothing urgent, so I’ll just freewrite as I do. I’m home from work. It was a short day. The original intent was to complete all the onboarding and training modules, but as fate may…
(cw – light talk of unaliving but not in an “I want to actually do that” sense) As I suspected all day the other day, I was going to end up feeling alone and clingy because of my nighttime thoughts. Don’t worry, I was already ahead of that — I’d taken my melatonin and am…
So I engaged in some much needed retail therapy. I bought some new pants, new shirts, new shoes, and a new planner. All of which was under $150. I was really happy with that, because I tend to live on the frugal side since none of my income comes from a stable source — just…
I am obsessed. I cannot stop reading about therapy practices, trauma recovery, relationships and interrelational skills (is that a word?), and I’m starting talking about it in places where I used to be really quiet and nervous (where this subject is the topic of conversation). I’m back to reading about self-leadership and personal development, I’m…
I learned a lot about myself this week. Not all of it was good, but all of it had good results so far. For those who have been keeping up, I’ve been trying to write a semi-sane set of posts about limerence when it comes from trauma, and the topic itself is traumatic. This is…
