what a great morning! it’s saturday! woke up at sunrise, stretched a bit, groomed myself, and off. it was a nice walk east down colfax to sprouts. i’m trying to incorporate more direction because people do that here. in denver the mountains are to the west. to the north exist yupsters, and hipsters to the south.the snug is east, as is civic center. it’s also an important life skill. what if you’re lost in the desert? you might die from dehydration, but you might live knowing direction! i’ve got a ton of laundry to do. such a pain. this is definitely the worst part of growing up. i walk to sprouts now because whatever i pick up, i have to carry. since i stopped grocery delivery from the supermarket, the bare essentials are acquired. chicken (whole), whole turkey breast, frozen veggies (way convenient btw), yogurt, fruit, etc. i go armed with 2 canvas bags and my backpack that’s got nice back cushions. i might even describe this cushion as luxurious. i had forgotten about an audible free trial i started and now i have a membership. might as well make use of it since i already have 2 credits. i used 1 credit to acquire how to win friends and influence people by dale carnegie and the 7 habits of highly effective people by steven r covey. before i step out the door: mapmyfitness app and how to win friends and influence people on the tablet. i highly recommend audiobooks if you want to maximize your time to improve both mind and body. it’s difficult being time poor. if there is anything better than being spiritually rich, it is being time rich. what’s the point of having monetary wealth if you’re working all the time, stressed out when you’re not dreading work the next morning? i finally started taking my fitness seriously. i was feeling tired and run down so i started doing some good ol’ googling and found that i may be underconsuming calories for my activity level. sure i’ve got a desk job, but i also have a DIY stand up desk. i just put a shelf on some stackable files. total cost is probably $5 USD. if i wanted a stand up desk for work, i would need a doctor’s note, some visit by some ergo nerd, and some line about how it would cost an absurd, arbitrary amount of money. i’m going to make a proposal. im going to do it because sitting 8 hours a day will kill you. physically and spiritually. we did not become the great humans we are by sitting all day. you sit on the toilet, you sit in the car, the bus, the train. you sit at work. you sit to eat. you sit. you sit. you sit. so my proposal would be to the ergo department, whoever that is. i’ll talk to my HR lady on monday. propose a cheap alternative i found in SKY MALL. i think that is an amazing idea. i need to reach out to someone about large order or some kind of discount. this might be something that would get me somewhere in the company. i just don’t like being a corporate prisoner. it’s freedom i want. it’s freedom i need. i have made my conscious, well informed decision that i should not feel stuck in my job nor in my life. i should feel free to do what i want, happy when i go anywhere, and most of all healthy to enjoy it. i keep wanting more, but i have to go and make it happen. it won’t happen if i sit there, at my job unhappy doing what i’m made to think is the only thing i can do with most of my waking life. you want to feel good about your body? put good nutrition in your body, pay attention to your body’s needs, drink tons of water, get that blood pumping and train your muscles to do what they’re meant to do. read/listen to a book. learn about what you want, what you desire. think about how to get there. do it. are you with me? #selfdiscovery #freedom #livefreeordiehard #entrepreneur
