That\u2019s my game plan right now, those three things \u2013 and God, of course. Always gotta make time for God, who settles me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It feels like I have so many things right now that I can be devoting my attention to, so many things that I want to devote my attention to, but I can\u2019t. I just can\u2019t. So I just have to focus on myself, and I think if I concentrate on these three things for now, I can be my best self.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Writing is one of them, because writing for me is more than a form of creative expression, it\u2019s also my self-expression, my self-discovery, my time with God, my therapy \u2013 it\u2019s so many things for me that I can\u2019t afford not to give it the time it needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eating right helps me to stay healthy. Being sick is the pits. This past year I got really sick a couple of times. Okay, so I guess I wasn\u2019t really sick. It was just gas and acid reflux, but it still felt like I was going to die. I mean the pain was so bad, nothing but time gave me relief, and I was throwing up. That happened back in July of last year, and I had another bout this past March. That one wasn\u2019t as bad as the one in July, but it was still mad unpleasant to put it mildly. So I didn\u2019t like that and I don\u2019t want shit like that to happen again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then there\u2019s the exercise part. I\u2019m actually not one of those people who hates exercise. I\u2019ve taken a couple of exercise classes in my day and I think they\u2019re fun. I also like walking, especially when there\u2019s nice scenery. And before my exercise bike broke, I would ride it regularly. But I don\u2019t know, ever since this quarantine, I\u2019ve been, you know, really adhering to the rules. Okay fine, I\u2019ve been straight up lazy. But it\u2019s kinda hard when you have nowhere to go and nothing to do. I\u2019ve walked to the store a couple times, but exercise has just not been a priority. After my doctor visit the other day, however, it now has to be. So I\u2019ve started exercising again. I walked for about an hour today, and I want to keep it up so I can lose this weight. I have a feeling I\u2019m really going to do it this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So yeah, those are my three things.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
