I’ve been reading “Atomic Habits” by James Clear and it makes me think of how I got sober 7 years ago. Did I know he demonstrates in that book, is how I did it? Nah. But it’s awesome to see it articulated.
So in the first 2 chapters, it talks about making very small changes to your days and routines. 1% changes. They add up and eventually make large changes to your identity. Also, with the language you use matters. These two responses hold different vibes. “No thanks, I’m an alcoholic.” OR “No thanks, I don’t drink.” One protects the image of me that CANNOT drink, and the other draws the boundary or someone that simply DOESNT drink.
I’ve made the choice to do this in many things in my life very recently. I noticed many leaks in my boat and I’m using the methods to plug them up. Dropping things I did that leaked energy. It’s a learning curve for sure! But I crave balance and peace.
I deleted TikTok because there were always tarot card readings that created longing for a relationship. I’ve been single 2.6 years aaaaand I’m fine with it! Truly! Right now, I’m living the peaceful life I wished for 7 years ago! But TikTok always had a way of interrupting my peace. Dumb bastard. Didn’t make the cut though! I went from “I’m trying not to TikTok” to “I don’t TikTok.”
Way more energy! What do I do with it? “I used to love writing” to “I’m a writer.” “I used to clean my room all the time.” to “my room is always clean.” I’m changing my stinking thinking. You can too. Join me!
