Breaking

I need a break from my bad habits. I need to make one decision that propels each segment of my life the right direction. Need a break from your marriage? How about putting in some effort to cherish your spouse so they know you love them? Notice the good things. Make the decision to positively love your partner. You know what they need. You are their person. Give them what they need. The rewards of being in sync with your spouse are infinite.

Need a break from being unhealthy? Take accountability for the food you put in your mouth. Track it on an app for a few days. The information can’t be ignored. I know what food has too many carbs and that I need more Vitamin C. I know that vodka and soda is better for me than a rum and coke. I love food. I can always find something delicious to eat. I’m just more considerate of my choices.

I need a break from living beyond my means. I made the decision to only purchase things in person. Late night scrolling leads to impulse buys. Amazon trucks in my driveway contribute to pollution, waste, consumerism, and reduced awareness of human working conditions. I am making an effort to touch before I buy, and to keep my dollars local.

I need a break from rotting. I need to write every day instead of scrolling mindlessly. There is joy in putting words together to create a story and a feeling. Designing words that speak to me in a clever and artistic pattern brings me satisfaction. It’s intriguing to describe things from my perspective. I don’t assume that my perspective is universal. I write to the people that want to read me. I’m just a woman who loves her people.
