The Working Won't Do List  - Part 1

1/10/2015

2 Comments

 
Ever notice how much easier it is to stay convicted by what you won't do than it is to stay committed to what you intend to do? Thought I'd try something a little different than the usual new year's fare of presenting myself with a fixed list of "will do," and instead, compose a running list of "won't do."

These are a few won't dos that I've come across so far this year. A couple of these are icebergs, and a couple are random new discoveries from over the last nine days. I... won't:

1. Go hungry. Anything that even whiffs of self-deprivation is a no-go in Swintville. I admire all of the folks with the discipline and desire to eat less for certain desired results, but whenever I find that portion control is not working for me, I'm eating whatever I want. And none of that "I forgot to eat during the day, so I woke up at midnight hungry" stuff, either. I'll just have to work out harder. Or not.

2. Be cold. Again, there are are whole lot of people who are more disciplined than I am when it comes to climate control. I've been a guest at folks' houses and been cold while they knew it. That's some heartbreaking mess. I refuse to be cold in my own house.

3. Miss new release movies waiting on someone to go with. I'm tired of waiting for stuff to come to DVD. I'm about that big screen life.

4. Stop using petroleum-based products because they are generally frowned upon in the natural hair and skin care community. Sorry not sorry, all of you hard core, better informed and more deeply committed than I all natural folks. My lips like Vaseline. And so do my knees, elbows, and the heels of my feet. And my edges don't seem to mind a little Blue Magic, once in a while, either.

I'm sure there will be more. It's still plenty early in the year.

Thank you, Pam! So far, I've been able to stick with the list. So far, I haven't had to add any others. I guess this list is pretty comprehensive for me. :)
