The trap to be busy, mind

Daisies
The ultimate sophistication is simplicity, nature, and living well.

Being busy is not the same as living fully.

Being busy kills my ability to .think .differently

Being busy poisons my ability to .think .deeply

Being busy stifles my ability to hone a growth mindset.

If i could, mind

midlife castles
Is your mental attitude a castle or a shack?

Mind…

If i could .think .differently, have fun, and vibrantly grow my mindset…

Perfect.

So i dedicated, and continue to dedicate, my daily efforts to .think .differently, have fun, and vibrantly grow my mindset.

Give me some good news, mind

Cool t-shirt. Great mantra.

Pink was on the Kelly Clarkson show singing a duet with Shoshana Bean. She was wearing a T-shirt that read, “Give me some good news.”

It made me think that would be a great question for me to ask frequently.

Or, for anyone to ask frequently for that manner.

Note: Had never heard of Shoshana Bean until now.

Peace is every step

tax advice from AI
Turns out the standard deduction for married filing jointly, over-65, is $34,700. Nice.

Woke up this morning with a few ‘big’ things on my mind.

  1. Tax return prep
  2. Left calf pain
  3. The MRI in four hours

Taking care of these facilitates peace.

Each day there are new things on the list as well as some previous things that carry over each day until solved.

Slow and steady

Two MacBooks and an iPad in front of an Apple Store
Took two 2015 MacBooks and an iPad to the Apple Store yesterday to recycle.

Shedding anything, thoughts, ideas, possessions, is a slow and steady process for me.

Why?

Comfort. Doubt. Fear. What if? Etc.

The more i shed, the easier it becomes.

Why?

Because like anything else in life, doing the reps gets you good at the thing you are doing the reps with.
