AN EXPERIMENTAL RESET
Every moment of every day, we make choices. Whether its what time the alarm wakes you, what to wear, whether or not to work out, or what to have for breakfast…Its YOUR choice to make. But, is there only 2 choices? Multiple choices? Or the choice to say Fuck it and not do ANYTHING. Wear what you want, eat what makes you feel good, or just say “Fuck it” …. and take a day to not get dressed, not eat (although that is not always a healthy option) and do what I call a RESET day. It gives you time to shut your brain off, reflect if you want to, and just be. It gives you opportunity to look at a day open ended, with no schedule, no priorities and no plans. It’s not advisable to do this EVERY day, unless you are retired and have no serious obligations to fill, but some days, it is necessary.
Since I have been dealing with anxiety, I now see that choice 3 is sometimes the ONLY choice that I am comfortable with, whether that is a positive or negative, is yet to be determined. It has started as a fun new experiment for me.
My typical good day starts off with a 5:30 alarm, a coffee while I wake up in bed, and then I dress in workout clothes, which forces me to go to my basement and hit my workout as hard as I can. I DO have the choice of saying Fuck it, and sometimes, I make that choice. Most days, I consciously force myself, as I know…
