Needing Inspiration
I found myself coming home from work today and got things done/took care of things and then saw my only recourse for down time was to sit in front of a screen... tv or laptop. It really challenged me to think of what to do with myself. I thought of taking a walk but the transition to do that felt self abusive and tiring. So I sat in front of that TV and laptop and I festered a bit. Now it came to me as I struggled to find inspiration that maybe I might want to ask myself if I wanted that walk even just a little bit. Indeed that’s the case and maybe that little bit would serve as an opening or window to inspiration. I know that to be a good solution as well.
In fact I talked to a relative about that recently. I also thought about what I do at the office where I go after the market. There I kind of have to make the job for myself as well because no one is there besides me for the majority of time. So why not use similar strategies that I employ there when I’m here on my own? Makes sense.

The 3D, full sensory entertainment outside the box may not be any more inspiring than one of my digital monitors but I feel more grounded when I engage all my senses. Just sitting outside accomplishes that task admirably. A walk, even more so.
It's been a long time since I've had a dedicated TV. I love streaming. When I'm around sound sensitive people, I love curling up with my laptop a-streamin' and ear plugs a-screamin'. I am cursed with many sound-sensitive people in my life. How ironic is it that sound sensitive people are often the loudest woofers on the block?
Gracias Arfita buenas noche!
I am learning alot about government. More than I had in civics class. This impeachment trial. First off, not to get political I am a liberal. My family and I have always voted Democratic.
I did make the mistake for voting for Perot that one time, it was because I was young and stupid. I also liked that had cool charts. Otherwise its always Democratic. I liked Clinton, and thought his impeachment was stupid. It was his personal business that he had relations with Monica. Nothing to do with his job decisions. Anyway enough of my political opinion.
I normally watch CNN,.all day. I can't wait for this impeachment to be over. Hopefully with a removable. This cannot be allowed to happen again. If it does, the next president who does stuff like this will do it worse.
I've been watching the tube with Dan all day....smile... Big hug sweetie... What about shows that can teach you something like cooking shows?? or inspirational shows.... I think that we all need down time to just relax and be...… Big squishy hug for you LC.....xo
Thanks Jan. I came home from work today and inspiration's still what I was looking for, at least in a kind of different way.
I felt really muddy. I've been binge watching "The Crown" and everything is so quiet. I guess I just kind of wonder about if it is ok.
I took a walk earlier and I am remembering what my Therapist and I talked about. Since trying to heal and become more
healthy, that effort has kind of put up a wall between me and others in person. I have been afraid to connect with others
and now I realize it's time to take an interest in others 'in person' again. As my Father just said "It will be a giving and receiving experience" - I feel so grateful for him, you guys and everyone! I go to yoga tomorrow. Thanks god! I will try to be social :).
