Day 28 – The Options.

7:27 p.m.

I can’t believe it’s almost 8:00 p.m. and I am about to call it a day.  I was so busy this past weekend or doing so many things during my days off…  I am completely drained.  It was funny how I remember I said once that I didn’t like my days off because I had nothing to do.  Well…  I was wrong.  Today, I got to see how I have to option to either engage in some type of activity or choose to just lay around and me a walrus the whole day.  Whenever you feel you have nothing to do, you have to options of doing something about it.  It could be as simple as reaching to old friends or acquaintances you haven’t heard in a while.  Or you can find new activities to get involved in and try them out (like me and running).  You can play a video game that brings you back to “the good o’ days” or explore your artistic side.  There’s millions of things you can fo when feeling “bored” or when “there’s nothing to do.”  I also thought about those people that post on the facebook Statuses “Bored to death” or anything around the lines.  Well, obviously fb is not the answer so here’s a piece of advice: go do something else.  Or at least try.  Because for sure if you stay on fb, you’re going to stay bored.  But if you go and text an old friend or try doing some of your chores, probably you’ll get yourself entertained.  Worst case scenario, you might still be bored, but you got all (or almost all) your chores done.  You can also apply the same to many of life issues.

Let’s say you’re doing A and it’s making you think and feel B and as a consequence you C happens.  But you don’t like the outcome C.  Most likely, if you keep doing A, C is going to keep happening.  Then what do you do?  Don’t do A.  Chances are if you don’t do A, you won’t have the same B thoughts and feelings; thus, C won’t occur.  Yes.  Not all situations are that easy – but some of them are.  So might as well tackle the ones we can, right?  Like I mentioned in one of my entries, this month has been full of challenges hit me hard.  I had many options to decide how to deal with the latter.  I decided to choose excercise.  I decided to be positive.  I decided to explore my inner persona to get to know me better.  I decided to move on with the life I have.  I decided to drag myself back and create the path to what I want to accomplish in the future.

It’s like this Sober Month too.  I had the option of drinking and say “f*ck it.”  But I chose to keep to my word and use this opportunity as a test of how strong my will power is.  And on a bigger agenda, I hope I can reach to many people as possible and install the hope they may have lost.

Now I am going to enjoy my tea and watch Futurama – what better way to relax?
