Welcome to the Mind Fuzz newsletter, a recap of three things that are on my mind this week.
1. Deep Laughter
Have you ever laughed so hard that phlegm has come up from the depths of your stomach?
Sorry for the visuals, but that’s how hard I laughed this weekend – almost like an existential awakening of sorts.
I swear I went through half a box of tissues.
It was just another reminder of the importance of your circle and the people you surround yourself with.
If you don’t have people in your life that make you sick from laughter, do your best to find some, then do your best to see them as much as possible.
Chase that phlegm, baby.
2. Decision Fatigue
Over the past few weeks I’ve bought enough furniture to deck out an entire apartment (for a very good reason).
This little experience reminded me just how painful decision fatigue can be.
The searching.
The doubting.
The second-guessing.
Buying sh*t is such an effort.
If retail therapy is actually a thing, then my brain must be wired differently.
And that’s not even mentioning the feeling of seeing the money coming out of my savings account.
Money = time (condition yourself to think this way if you want financial freedom).
And man, I hate spending my time.
3. Expectations
“There are three musts that hold us back: I must do well. You must treat me well. And the world must be easy.”
Albert Ellis
That last thing I created was crap.
Someone will probably think I’m a loser today.
Another Monday that I have to do something I don’t want to do.
And yet, with all of that happening, life goes on.
Birds still chirp, even the annoying ones.
The sun still rises, even behind the 95% humidity cloud cover because it’s been raining all damn week.
And still get to come home to bed, even after talking to people I don’t really want to talk to.
As long as I feel like I’m working towards something greater, I’m happy to let that all happen.
