Fridays are often the day when I feel most bummed - right now it will be usual for me to go through a day at work with no interaction with others; I find myself alone with my own thoughts, which is always dangerous, I go through a cycle of thinking about all the people I'm out of touch with, berating myself for not getting in touch, then wondering why communication can't work two ways and why they can't contact me rather than me having to be the one who makes the first move. It's easy to feel like I'm out of sight, out of mind sometimes.
Thank goodness for
Action for Happiness and Mindful March, who came up with this challenge.
I'm a little late for the party, but have tried day 5's challenge, which is to breathe deeply three times regularly, which I really need today just because of little things getting to me, and the moment when I want to simulate an argument with someone in my head, usually over some little thing they have done that irked me.
I've instead been getting excited about foodstuffs that are new to me:
Limited edition pink (strawberry and white chocolate) coco puffs; I'm going to be really sad and keep the box.
I got these today, from the
Funky Nut Company and am really stoked about trying them. I will inevitably be sad and keep the jars.
I'm just glad that I get a chance to connect with friends tonight by having a zoom singing session; 8pm can't come faster.
I've reached 25 out of 50km on my March Strava Walking Challenge.
