I’ve Been Doing Yoga

Actually, I’ve been doing a lot of stuff lately, stuff for me, and it feels really good. I’ve been setting goals, like write and draw every day, and then marking time on the calendar to do them, and then making them high priority reminders. I don’t get frustrated if I don’t get something done.

It’s just a couple hours a day, but the action of taking those hours feels selfish. I guess it is, literally. But like I mentioned to a friend the other day, it’s like I’m hacking my brain to make dopamine. Because while the intention has been there to do these things for a long time, the action hasn’t matched it, but now it is.

I think the key has been actually being selfish about these things. These are the things that I want to do, and I think that when I feel this background frustration build, you know, the way I used to live every waking hour, I think it’s because I’m doing something that I don’t want to do instead of something that I want. By prioritizing my wants and making sure that they are being tended to, I’m creating a happier mindset about going into the things that I don’t particularly want to do.
