How I’m Using ToDo Lists

Posted on February 20, 2022January 30, 2022 by jwalters

I’ve never been good at keeping things in my head. I’ve also never been good at following up on things I write down on a to-do list. It’s quite the hassle if I’m being honest. Towards the end of 2021, I started using my iPhone’s to-do list app and just dumped everything I do, or…

Clarity From Knowledge and Experience

Posted on February 16, 2022January 20, 2022 by jwalters

I’ve struggled with my eating habits all my life. I like junk food and fast food and cookies and cakes etc. What I’ve come to realize is there’s nothing wrong with any of those foods in moderation but the way I was eating them was an everyday, sometimes every meal occurrence. That is not good….

Writing For No One, Writing For Me

Posted on February 13, 2022January 17, 2022 by jwalters

It’s not at all surprising but today I enabled site stats using JetPack[1]https://jetpack.com/ and saw that my site has had zero visitors.

Social Media Break: Day 30

Posted on February 8, 2022 by jwalters

I did it. I thought this break would give me a bit of clarity on how I wanted to use social media going forward. It didn’t. Over the last 30 days, I was very aware of every time I picked up my phone to open Facebook or Twitter multiple times a day up to and…

Routine Timing vs Routine Doing

Posted on February 7, 2022 by jwalters

For the past two weeks, I’ve been on a downswing. Several years ago, I was diagnosed with clinical depression and anxiety, and I’ve struggled to keep it under control. Of all the things I’ve tried in the past, exercise is the most effective treatment I’ve found. I’m not anti-medication, but I never really found a…

Mantras Are Effective?

Posted on February 5, 2022January 15, 2022 by jwalters

For me, they certainly have been. One, in particular, has been extremely helpful to me. We don’t do that anymore When I feel myself slipping into a bad habit or a bad way of thinking I simply say “We don’t do that anymore” and it breaks those thoughts. Self talk works and I’m not sure…

Effortless Effort While Running

Posted on February 2, 2022January 15, 2022 by jwalters

Sounds weird, right? I have no idea when or where I first heard this phrase but I’ve been thinking about it a lot recently. Over the last few weeks my runs have felt like an effortless effort. Like, I have to push myself to get out the door and I have to sometimes struggle through…

Finding My Place In The World

Posted on February 1, 2022January 31, 2022 by jwalters

I’ve struggled with the direction of my entire life. I spent some time in the military and decided to do the full 20 and retire. Then I allowed others’ opinions to become my own and got out after eight years. I’ve had no issues staying at jobs for years at a time, but a lot…
