Day 5- moving the things in your way

A year from Now you may wish 

You had started Today

-Karen Lamb

The weather and myself are against me; I stayed up way to late and I could not think to open my eyes, early this morning. Nothing to fear I am watching crash

course psychology on YouTube, to quickly learn what the hell is wrong with me.  Ok honestly I am just watching because I find it fascinating to get salient information in less than fifteen minutes.   You may have thought that this post would be about my oatmeal adventures.  Strange enough I thought so too. I didn’t have oatmeal for breakfast.  I ate toast, raisin bread with butter and coffee.  I can’t live without the coffee. The strange oatmeal challenge will be delayed for another day.  Instead typing about myself and the ambivalent feelings I have about oatmeal and other weight-loss trends.  I will be talking about another New Year trend.  Getting rid of the old, making space with the new.

Environment is an important factor in lifestyle change. Bings defines it as all external factors influencing the life and activities of people, plants and animals.  I have decided this with my own brain but I am sure that there are some articles and books a plenty about the effects of a negative environment or out-of-sync environment.   Environments affects our personal lives, organization the enemy of clutter.  There is a large number of books and audiobooks about organization and its many benefits. That will concur with me.

I used to think I lived in organized chaos as I got older, it became less organization and more chaos.  Now kittens are taking my socks out of the hamper and walking around like they are prey they caught in the wild.  So I found a book about organization.  It is a slow process.  I have not finished the book.  So I will save my review for another post.  I don’t know if I should be lamenting on how horrible things can get in my house.   I like to think that it is no different than anyone else’s but sometimes I know I am wrong.  Or maybe it is just frustrating. So in retaliation, I eat a large back of Doritos.

I typed that this post was supposed to be about something other than me but I find myself writing a lot of ‘I’s’ it is undermining.  There is no other way to discuss this problem. Well I guess you if you were someone else but me being myself.  The good me not the one up in the wee hours of the morning.

I won’t say that my house is making me fat.  But I will say that it can be a downer sometimes.  It takes more of my attention than anything else. And yes my writing is suffering.  In retaliation I may eat four packs of chocolate mini donuts.  Now my choices are fruit.  However this is where evil me will make an appearance and then I will hit the 7eleven.  It has happened before thank goodness it is January.  I have a strong aversion to being cold.

So what have we learned from this post. The author is more narcissistic than she thought.  Your external factors affect your well-being. It is an issue that has to be dealt with over the next 100days.

  Please leave a comment. I am really interested.  Really.
