Filling the form

[elainegrey]

I'm not particularly surprised by what comes to mind. The themes of purging stuff corresponds to what is becoming a habit as i've found purging items easier and easier, especially as i experience the reward of the space.

I suppose what doesn't come up on here is that i have a box of things to try and eBay: i should go through that box and put as much into the boxes for the Meeting's rummage sale as i can. I know there's some silverware in there that might as well go to Harvest festival (commodity item, heavy). There's also the task of finding a home for the Limoges china.


Take the list or similar, and quickly dash off three small things in each area that can be done to improve your quality of being. Then set aside. Repeat the process some time later (a quarter? "ten week" period?) and then review the previous one. Tag taw@w & ftf

1. Work space
progress on stacks-o-papers
more white board markers (home & work) - just put in Amazon cart

2. Car/transportation- happy with this
3. Kitchen
continue with purging stuff

delighted with purchase of small glass bowls with silicone lids from anchor hocking. Next some lunch size containers?

4. Living room - intentionally ignoring
5. Bedroom
making progress on clothing purge, continue
need to purge linen closet, too

6. Wardrobe
so many broken necklaces and such -- it'd be lovely to fix some.
new ribbons for the mohop sandals that match wardrobe a tough better?

7. Reading list or entertainment plans
not doing a good job limiting video watching in the evening

8. Exercise habits
THIS, THIS.

9. Eating habits
Attention to sweet binging. (Somehow carrot chips and avocado just pale next to the cookies Christine bought)

10. Spiritual/intellectual maintenance
See journaling entry.

I've been in "purging" mode for the last year or so myself. Guess it's that "in the first half of life you're about acquiring things; in the second half, getting rid of what you don't love or need (physically or emotionally.) It feels good but seems like there's never enough hours in the day to do it all (and I work only slightly over half time these days!)

Regarding sweets, I just found a lower-sugar candy bar series, from "Amy's" brand: "Andy's Dandy Candy." Yummy & chocolatey, and only 8 g or so of sugar per half-size part. Your local health store might carry them, or be convinced to order some.

There is definitely a feeling of wanting to refine. A few years ago i started getting rid of old projects with the awareness that the distractions kept me from what gave joy.

I'll keep an eye out for those bars! Regrettably, my sweet binging is far more driven by baked goods than candy (although i won't turn my nose up at candy)!

Baked goods are my other danger. Mostly I try to indulge in multigrain or oat-based goodness that's low sugar, but an amazing gourmet bakery was at the farmers' market today. Thank goodness they're only around once a month.
