Today is day 0.
Technically, it’s day 5, but today’s the day it really came out of my mouth: “Something’s got to change.”
And so, by way of accountability. Here we go. A change.
The problem, in brief
- The stress is too high
- The interests are too low
- The way out is unclear
Stress
I’m 50% of a business. I do, theoretically, what I love, but you would honestly never know it from the way I behave. This has to change, before I go insane and the business goes kablooey. (Technical terms here, okay?)
Interests
In short, I have none. Everything I used to be absorbed by has gone by the wayside. It’s to the embarassing point now that I tell people what I used to do for fun. You know, because I was cool at some point years ago.
The Path
There’s always a way out of the woods. Now, just to find it.
The current theory is this:
- Fix the diet (in progress, day 5).
- Get off my lazy, stressed butt and DO something active on a regular basis.
- Find a hobby. Heck, diversify and find a few.
- Learn to manage stress in a way that doesn’t involve the current solution (Clue-by-four: pretending it doesn’t exist while fuming isn’t fooling anyone, including me.)
