revisiting my new years resolutions.
Go Lo-Tech. Connect.
Radio instead of TV. Board games instead of video games. See movies in the theater. Check my time on my watch and not my phone. Call instead of text. Less Facebook and other garbage internet. Finish the books I begin reading.
Be Healthy. Look Well.
Juice again. Less dairy. Less sugar. No bacon. No fast food. Fewer grains. No beer. Attend to digestion. Keep my bowels clear. Yoga when I can afford it. Shower and groom daily. Dress well. Be confident.
Maintain a Healthy Emotional State.
Manage anger and frustrations. Disconnect from triggering situations. Resist one-upping or pettiness. Be less fragile. Avoid painful situations. Don't obsess over difficult things that have happened. Keep learning to let go.
Focus on the friends and things I love, not the friends and things I don't have.
Simple Charities to Make My Life Simpler.
Volunteer with the Humane Society at least once. Pet all the cats.
Donate my ill-fitting and old clothes. Even some I think I'll wear again someday. I know how that always goes.
Be Ambitious in My Work Product.
Be diligent in getting my resume out there. Promote myself as a strong candidate for positions I apply to. In any job, work hard so my value is recognized. Continue to educate myself about the areas of law I would like to know. Contract. Copyright. Intellectual Property. Patent. Moral Rights. Arts and Entertainment.
Be Self Reliant.
Carry heavy things. Learn how to maintain my car. Take care of my own shit. Know that I can.
Reinvigorate Creativity.
Write again. Even if it's just LJ. Create a new body of work. Paintings. Drawings. Inspirations: Acanthamoeba. Cryptozoology. Paranormal. Tiger Blood.
Improve Living Space.
Get out of the shop. Keep the living area clean and interesting. Collect more art. Collect more taxidermy.
Laugh.
Laughter is good for your health
Laughter relaxes the whole body. A good, hearty laugh relieves physical tension and stress, leaving your muscles relaxed for up to 45 minutes after.
Laughter boosts the immune system. Laughter decreases stress hormones and increases immune cells and infection-fighting antibodies, thus improving your resistance to disease.
Laughter triggers the release of endorphins, the body’s natural feel-good chemicals. Endorphins promote an overall sense of well-being and can even temporarily relieve pain.
Laughter protects the heart. Laughter improves the function of blood vessels and increases blood flow, which can help protect you against a heart attack and other cardiovascular problems.
