Ok today was a bit tougher in the swap department... making decisions constantly - well thinking twice about them - can get tiring! When physically tired already, noone wants to put energy into making decisions - me definitely included. My fall back position today was icecream, haha! :) Yep, Cadbury Honeycomb icecream is incredibly reassuring when you've chosen to plonk on the couch and watch some telly knowing there are better things to do [and eat] ;) And we all know the unwritten - but very important - rule that says: when you can see the bottom of the icecream container, thou art obliged to put the rest of the icecream out of its lonely rejected misery by eating it all there and then [out of the container of course!]... hmm not the greatest choice of the day, but not the worst decision of my life.
The good side of my ice-cream dependency today was that instead of sitting there thinking: "well that's done it, I may as well give up and stay on the couch for the rest of the the day" [which I have done before, many a times]... the swap project thinking kicked in and kicked my butt out the door for a walk with my dog Beau. It wasn't a long one at all, but it was enough to get me listening to a good talk and just switching modes. As a result I got a little creative and drew my first cartoon. I thought of the idea sometime in the last 48hrs [can't remember when with my silly sleep patterns at the moment]. Normally I would let these little ideas be just ideas, but since starting this project I've realised that the little ideas are the best ones to pursue as a swap from other habits and they are more rewarding. So here's my cartoon... enjoy [or be perplexed maybe?]...
What idea have you had that you've been putting off lately? Even if it seems like a big one, take a small step towards it today.
