Stuck? Fortune telling?

What thoughts are you experiencing that weigh you down - that make you feel stuck?  

Write all the thoughts you're experiencing on paper (or stone tablet) to understand what's holding you back--and maybe what can help you move forward too.  

Not sure where to begin? Start by thinking about your day so far - the challenges you've faced, the times you've felt confident, the moments you've felt doubt..  

Just flow. (Well, as much as one can flow with a chisel. Which yikes.)  

When I'm not logging - I don't run, I can't lose weight.

My weight graph is bouncing up and down around the one 1kg

What will the year bring? It's full of uncertainty at work and at home. 

How do I save more money? Our bank balance isn't going in the right direction 

... all of these things have clear solutions that I could prioritize if I wanted to. Am I stuck?

If you are "fortune telling" about your future, try this weird...

Psych Trick: Find some alternate routes Every time you find yourself predicting the future, bring your thoughts to the present moment- the exact situation you're in right now.  

Once you've returned to the present, identify three possible paths ahead and three alternate outcomes.  

By laying out a nice wide map of alternate routes, you can stay in the present, reduce the friction and put an end to that future trip,

soul food list

#SoulFoodList When I need love, affection, or adoration, I get this from: Helping other people and seeing them shine When I need attention or to feel special, I like: Being told I've done a great job. When I need peace or serenity, I'm in my happy place: drifting off to sleep on the porch of a hiking hut in the wilderness, listening to the dusk bird call or a babbling stream. When I need happiness or excitement, I get off on: Smashing out a PB deadlift or an impossible hiking day When I need thrill, adventure, pleasure, I like: driving fast but in control (and legally!) on a twisty road. When I need any or all the feels (or a good cry), I can: Listen to dire straits or the eurovision fire saga soundtrack. But I don't so much do feels.

Ritalin day one

I kinda like this Ritalin stuff. Toby says I got the fast release, not the slow release version because my doctor thinks I'm a responsible adult. Immediate release is 3-4 hrs and slow release is 8-12.  It feels like when I stop thinking, there is no monologue that keeps distracting me from stuff. Also I feel like I can feel the coffee hitting me harder. But it's hard to tell given I've just got back from Singapore - I feel refreshed and reset anyway, plus I've just changed 5 time zones. I don't need my europop or prog house mix in my head to focus I feel like the energiser bunny. I'm walking really fast. I feel a bit jittery. And I start a task and just ... do the task. I managed to have just one lunch at TJ Katsu, and just leave when I finished eating. So there's that! (Normally I stay on my phone, and then order a second lunch primarily to avoid work and stay on my phone for longer).  The day has passed in a blur! I don't know if I was more productive,...

a kilo up

Back from 87.9kg to 89kg in two days. I got this. I know what's happening and I can trust the process. In a fairly good mood this morning. I've got urgent dramatic tasks to do this morning so that should keep me focussed. I've got a couple of life admin things to knock off at lunch time. And the weekend will be busy! Keep focussed, keep productive.
