It's good that you are able to recognize when you're feeling that way and have strategies that you find helpful. That must be all of the mindfulness activities that you do.

I was doing a bit of meditation again after a long hiatus but that only lasted a few days. I would like to keep up with it. I've been exercising again as well. So that has been helpful for me

Sort:  

Yeah, I know that I might not be doing all the activities that my heart desires atm, but I'm pleased with what I'm able to identify and rectify.

Congrats to you for getting back into meditation and exercise. Are you sure you don't want to live with your in-laws permanently? It seems to be having the most positive effect on you.

I pretty much stopped watching TV here so I'm also reading a little more. Still spending a lot of time on my phone though 😆

My my! I've never been big on watching TV. The Ads drive me crazy and I always feel like they are training to brainwash the public. I might watch a good documentary, occasionally. Or if there's a live event (sport or entertainment), then yes. Other than that, I don't need a TV in my space at all.
It's great that you're reading more. That's something I need to do.
I forgot that you're a phone guy. I started using my mobile camera, and that is about the only thing I do with it. It's permanently on silent, and I pick it up periodically throughout the day to see if anyone tried to reach me. I then prioritise what needs a response or not. 😅

Commercials and ads are infuriating indeed. I agree. There are no ads with the streaming sites though so I haven't had to watch a commercial in probably 8 years now. Yeah my phone is essentially my computer. At first I was like "this is great, I'm not watching TV for 2 hours a night after work anymkre!" but then I realized that I was just scrolling through my phone for that same amount of time. 2 hours watching TV or 2 hours on my phone... "6 or half a dozen." 😆

Scrolling through my phone

On what, just social media, like IG?

Hive, crypto and stock prices, random articles, social media, a quick game of "Go," than back to Hive and repeat

game of "Go,"

Haha! You make me feel old.🤔

Wiki just told me,
"The game was invented in China more than 2,500 years ago and is believed to be the oldest board game continuously played to the present day."

🙀

I'm not very good at it but it's fun
