I read more last night and this morning (The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck - Mark Manson). Cheeky title and the first 1/3 of the book was all about the f-word. It doesn't offend me, but it's a bit overkill if you ask me -- he's slowing it down. I don't love the book, but it has a few points that having me thinking. Lots of regurgitated ideas, but it's good to hear them said again with a different twist. He's not TR or Jim Rohn, but, hey, who is?!?
Manson says pleasure is the byproduct of happiness, not the cause of happiness. If you seek only pleasure, life is shallow and unrewarding. Eating junk (overeating junk) is all about pleasure seeking for me. Hmmmm ... interesting
Today looks like a good one. Rest day for working out (although I already walked the dog -- before it's crazy hot). I have some house chores to get finished (hello bills) and the stupid microwave broke again. It's a special built-in and replacing it will require cabinet work. Ugh. P.S. I'm not a fan of a custom kitchen. I need to call a repair company. BUT, then FUN! Lunch with a friend, movie with the youngest. A nice day is shaping up -- take that microwave!
I've been procrastinating my "work" again. June was supposed to be the slow roll out. I'm not sure why I'm resisting. I'm still confused about what I want to do. I have conflicting thoughts and I don't know how to prioritize them. I need to do some more thinking. But that's still not a good excuse for this procrastination. Usually, I can get my butt in gear by now. I'll keep working on it. I'd say stay tuned on this one too, but it might be a long wait.
In other news, I made cold brewed coffee with my flavored decaf. It's not as good as the kona (duh) but it's okay. Something different to try with no added "shakes."
My INTENTION today is alluding me. Nothing is standing out. Maybe that's my intention -- just go with flow. Don't TRY today, just let it be. I like it. (P.S. That's from the meditation exercises ... there's hope for me yet!) Later gators.
