Hey y’all! In the park rant today I talk way above my pay grade (as per usual) about some stuff! Ultimately though, I think that stuff is good stuff!! Y’all go to TraeCrowder.com to get tickets to see us this weekend in Arkansas! love y’all much!
So is the views dowloads or just listening count? I got a car and im doing uber eats until autozone hires me(HIRE ME AUTOZONE) as well as selling art. Im not there yet as ive just kicked things into gear but im scootin on over there. Tolerable job and school enrollment are the two hurdles i have left before i can allot a little money for purely entertainment purposes. It aint nothin.
Retrograde Mercury! 😡 What a PITA. I thought it was BS until I started tracking patterns of communication, travel, and electronic glitches. Also feeling blah. Sure enough, checking those occurrences against the time when Mercury was retrograde, there was an increase in things like losing stuff, misunderstanding what people said, people I hadn’t heard from in some time re-surfacing, traffic delays, etc. So yeah. It’s apparently a thing.
As to habits, does it ever get easier to establish them? I struggle with that constantly. Maybe it’s my ADHD. Dunno. In any case, I admire your commitment and ability to do that! Whatever it is, can ya lob a little of it towards PDX? 😂
Hey Corey! Yep...habits, which are only truly possible to sustain as life changes when they are things you can reasonably do forever. I’m a food addict. Food is my drug of choice. I had to incorporate addiction therapy techniques to learn to live in a world where unhealthy foods surround me constantly just like an alcoholic has to learn to live in a world surrounded by bars and liquor stores and wine moms and “let’s get together for drinks.” I learned my biggest problem is avoidance. I ate to avoid dealing with the stress of life directly. I binge eat just like other addicts go on “benders” until the “can’t stop till I pass out” thing happens...followed by profound guilt and self loathing afterward, which then causes me to eat to avoid dealing with those feelings. For me, stepping on the scale is my daily habit to avoid the avoidance of bad eating consequences, if that makes sense at all. Every day the scale either gives me a data point that resets my thoughts. If it’s up, I am more mindful of how I eat that day to stop the gain. If it’s down, I am more mindful of how I eat that day to keep that loss going. Anyway, that’s my story of losing 106 pounds, then going through cancer and menopause that helped me gain 80 of that back, and now back to my addiction therapy trying to de-fluff myself once again. Fifteen pounds off, 60+ pounds to go. Habits, Corey. You’re absolutely right.
You and Drew need to come up to WI with Trae next time he comes, me and my daughter got tix to see him this round, and we're gonna try for Nashville at the end of the year, but next time you gotta come to us...😁
