Buh Bye
Along the lines of self-improvement, I have pushed aside two really bad habits of mine. I would rather not go into details on what they are (no kinky stuff) but am just really proud of myself for recognizing them and being able to successfully divert my attention and alter my routine to avoid them.
One bad habit that I haven’t broken, but has become a pretty bad habit is Facebook. I’ve been pretty busy this week dealing with those things in life one should not have to deal with. I’ve rarely been on facebook and you know what? I’ve kind of been happier. There are no links to articles that outrage me. There are no insensitive remarks made that I feel like I have to speak up about. It’s just been me, my mister and our little miss.
I found that when I stepped away from the internet all together, I was much happier too. I didn’t have things distracting me, like needing to look up movie reviews or trying to figure out where a saying originated, and was able to just be really present with my family.
I don’t do cell phones. Nope. Do you realize how many people are absolutely addicted to their cell phones without realizing it? When their phone breaks or their battery dies, the panic that sets in is classic addict behavior. One of my friends goes to bed with her phone, just in case someone text messages her. Another does all of her communicating through text message or e-mail. It’s crazy.
But I digress.
The main point of this whole disjointed rant and rave is that I broke myself of two habits that took up a lot of energy and time and really produced no good results. Yay me!
