mindfulness

2/01/24

Well I made it thirtydays with no social media. It went so well that I forgot that it was over until this afternoon. Funny, I guess I weaned myself off it. I added the apps back on to my phone and tablet but I wasn’t really into checking out any updates. I guess that thirtydays made social media loose its shinyness lol. I’m okay with that. I think I will keep my rules in place and limit the amount of time spent on scrolling. Not that I really want to.

Whats on tap for February? This year? Mindfulness. It’s a pretty straightforward word. Your mind is fully attending to what’s happening, to what you’re doing and to the space you’re moving through. I want to be present in my life. So often I’m there but not really. The days roll on by and before you know it, it’s Christmas again lol.

The next thirtydays or so will be mindful consumption. 2021 I did thirtydays no sugar/junk food but I think that was too specific. I think I need to think about what I am eating. Am I really hungry? I know I am lacking in the amount of vegetables that I eat weekly. I will also need to go through the list of foods that I am sensitive to and find a few I can eat. That’s a whole other blog lol.

First task on the list? Purge the pantry. Take all the junk food for my coworkers to eat.

You’re welcome 😂

Thirtydays

Well, I’ve made it three weeks without candy or chocolate. Only one more week to go. Good thing I picked February for this one.

It’s been tough. I’ve always had candy at work, in the car and hidden all over the house. Which brings me to this.

Found this on my desk😳

These were left on my desk at work. I think my coworkers may be trying to sabotage my efforts 😂. Number one, I love Peeps and Sourpatch anything are my favorites. I will be saving these for March 1st LOL.

Road trips have been a little different. Normally I stop at the mini mart for a drink and some candy but this time when we stopped at the store I walked down the candy aisle and reminded myself of the thirty days thing and got my drink and left. Lol.

Fingers crossed. One more week😁

Thirtydays

No candy or chocolate 😁

Well, it’s been one week now with no candy or chocolate. I’m not going to lie. I had THE worst headache all last week. This may have also been due to the fact that my doc said to cut back on the caffeine……so no Mt. Dew lol or coffee.

I went through all of my cupboards last night. Really I was just looking to throw out all of the expired food but I stumbled upon the motherload lol.

So, what did I do with it? Well, I took it to work of course and put a sticky note on it, ” free to good home” 😂🤣😝 it was either that or throw it in the garbage can but I didn’t trust myself not to go dumpster diving. Hahaha.

As to how I’m feeling. Pretty good. I think the whole withdrawal symptoms are gone. I’ve been drinking a green drink every day. These aren’t all fancy, just orange juice or coconut water, frozen power greens, flax seed and peanut butter powder. They don’t taste all that bad. My body is probably going to go into shock though lol.
