Day
Sixty-Seven: Revolutionary
I’ve been
having this very difficult time getting my idea’s out lately. It’s been hard to articulate the way in which
it is difficult but it just is. I can’t
seem to think of things as smoothly, or in a concise way until much later than
I would like. For now, I will just talk
like I would to myself or to a friend, a little informally, very briefly, and
for the most part unorganised.
Today I
bought my first pair of cosy, infused socks for myself. I’ve never had to buy them for myself as they’ve
always been a gift from a constant in my life, but that’s all gone now so I
bought myself a pair. They were
inexpensive with blue green and white stripes, and they are sitting beside me
here. I talked a lot yesterday about the
importance of being comfortable and how in my life that is integral to being
happy. I think it is also crucial to my
health, as well.
Not just my
physical health, although if I feel uncomfortable (as I am feeling right now
after being out all day I think I’m dehydrated, fun fact) but my mental and
emotional health as well. Being healthy
is just too much to balance lately, but if I work at it and nurture the things
that need nurturing everything works out in time. I can describe it as taking a really deep
breath after a long day and really feeling your chest expand, that slow empty
feeling that rushes calm and peace into your body. Feeling secure in the choices I’ve made today
and every day contributes to this balance, this calm, and it makes a difference
in my life.
As for the
little things that contribute to health I think that whole Laughter being the
best medicine cliché really is true. I
had a teacher in sixth grade tell me that if I laughed for seven minutes
everyday I’d live longer. When was the
last time you laughed so hard your insides hurt? I love that feeling, where it feels like a
set of ab’s are growing because you just can’t breathe anymore. It’s my favourite way to be, in bliss of
laughter, but that state is one of those things that you can’t really strive
for. It’s on that belief of if you stop
looking it will come. You can’t walk
into a situation with the goal of laughing so hard you pee your pants, it’s
something that has to occur naturally.
So I
challenge everyone to pee their pants from laughter today (or almost) but let
it happen on its own. It’s hard, but
just do it. It’s healthy.
