My hopes for the future...

I want to get a base level of activity done where I can have more free time to work on the things that are really important to me. 

 A list of things you are positive about for Friday

• There's a skill in thinking before you post, thinking before you speak, in not saying the thing in your head and just watching the world go by and not thinking whatever you are thinking is not really that important or major. It's not Immanuel Kant on epistemology or Noam Chomsky on ...whatever he talks about that isn't linguistics
• Today I did some chores. I got some toiletries that I've been meaning to get. I was about to run out of shampoo and conditioner, I was on my last bottle of baby oil and I was almost totally out of deoderant. If I'm going into the office I'd need deoderant. Also Big props for L'oreal's brand
• I have good friends I chat to
• At work they offered to expense a table for me and to order me an ergonomic mouse. 
• I went to a gym class, cycled 8 miles in total and did my shopping, dinner and outdoors time all at once. Also I dont think it tired me out so much
• I'm getting back into classes and I feel my stamina is slowly getting back. It's like a ladder to climb. I'm climbing it.

 here's my weekly ABC

A: Accumulate positive experiences

Gym today was good

B: Build mastery in activities that make you feel confident

I need to answer this

C: Cope ahead - planning helps

P: Physical illness prevention
Cycle often

L: Low vulnerability to disease

Eat better

E: Exercise regularly

3-4 times a week would do. I'll work to 5-6

A: Avoid mood altering drugs

No alcohol

S: Sleep healthy

I'm getting better at this

E: Eat healthy

I had chinese takeaway on Monday. That is the bad message

 A - accumulate positive experiences

Avoid jealousy and avoidance behaviours. If I have a difficult feeling. Embrace it and confront it

B- Build mastery in activities that make you feel confident.

Any examples of this? Gym I guess? Piano? reading? philosophy? I feel I've lost touch with the things important to me

C - Cope ahead

I'm okay with this I think. This is why my logging system and planning are so important

P - Physical illness prevention

Better eating. Regular physical activity. Get a caloric deficit

L - Low vulnerability to diseases. I need to think hard about how to enact this. 

Better physical activity. Better diet. Better management of difficult feelings. Avoid avoidance. Avoid thought cycles that just run over and over again and don't help me.

E - exercise regularly 

Cycling perhaps? More gym, more classes. I've been away from classes for a month

A -  Avoid mood altering drugs

Do big macs count?

S - Sleep healthy

I've been really good at this lately, but It's 1am and I'm typing on my desk now

E - Eat healthy 

See above 

Do I ever wonder or think that I'm not living a well lived life? 

 hello all.

i want to write an update on things but i got too much on to go flowery on it.

Olympics. It's the last day. I really liked watching it. I'm watching the live coverage of the final day.

Insomnia. I have had terrible insomnia for what seems to be months. This past week I've been in a really good place. If I start early and get on with tasks early, I tire myself out early. My aspiration today would be to get enough done by 2pm, cycle to gym, get some gym done and get home

Bike. My bike has been in the shop for a month. I've re-told this story too many times I'll just say that I'm glad the bike is back where it belongs, right under my balsl.

The actual reason I wanted to post was I thought it was worth mentioning how the list I made during the pandemic which was to have a to do list of things after the pandemic, that would seem like indicators of normality, is beginning to get ticked off.#

One of my tasks was: heavy bag workout at the gym (two locations). The heavy bag is in one location now. I hit it for about 15 minutes. One task down. I'm glad

When am I off to the Rodizio next?
