Meditated last night, woke up refreshed and did a short yin yoga sequence while waiting for hot water to boil. My body is stiff from having my routine disrupted by unstable men but I'm repairing my healthy routines back to their former glory.
I made a weekly routine calendar divided in columns by days of the week and rows for am or pm, including the most important physical/mental health activities to guide me through my day so I don't need to remember to keep track of anything. Whenever I'm not sure what to do with myself, all I need to do is refer to my handy reference calendar and do what it says for each time slot. Since I don't currently have any manterruptions, keeping these healthy habits should be easy for me, without any monkeys on my back. Seems to be going smoothly so far.
I haven't fully formed a new years resolution yet but it will probably be regarding exercising more. I want to commit to yoga first thing in the morning daily, then some light dancing, trampoline, gymnastics rings, etc, later in the day. Harp practice is between breakfast and lunch. Evenings are for art, gratitude journaling, and meditation. Fridays are for socializing, texting, etc. Sunset friday to sunset saturday are strictly for relaxation, a free space for quiet reflection and learning. My sacred day to simply be.
I decided to allow myself to microdose weed, as long as I take frequent breaks to reset so that my dosage always remains small. I'd like to microdose mushrooms again at some point in 2023. It was decriminalized here but for some reason authorities are still raiding places. Wish they'd prioritize the meth problem, but cops look the other way at the dangerous drugs and arrest people for possession of natural species that grow from the earth and heal people. Questionable judgment stems from ignorance, and as the daughter of a horticulturist who is knowledgeable about plants, it's clear to me that these cops desperately need an education. They need to hire experts to educate them to prevent them from making bad choices based on irrational biases against nature and therapy. It's really just a macrocosm of the same attitudes I find with men individually. Destructive tendencies focused in the wrong direction. But I do sense that at least some of our backward values have been shifting in a positive direction.
