I really should start doing this but everytime I go to I think about how there's so much TV and Internet I have not experienced and then I get distracted and forget about outside and its asshole NPCs.
It's one of those things that's hard to get in the habit of, but it does wonders for your general wellbeing.
I started doing it for my dog but with the added bonus of it also being good for me. Then I started losing weight even though I didn't change anything else. I just stopped being a couch potato for 15 min twice a day. Who knew it was that easy?
Why does my being have to be well though? Can't I be fine and also a decrepit horrible miserable bitch at the same time? Why does life have to be so haaaaaaaaard.
Get a mixed breed dog that you think is a lazy lapdog that is actually a highly energetic terrier. That was my motivation to start walking. Less things destroyed 😩
If I could afford it I would love to. I feel sort of incomplete without a dog. Had one for so much of my life. But it's not remotely something I could afford at the moment. My roommate has a cat and that thing is bad enough. Unfortunately that cat also is very independant. I love her but I don't think the feeling is mutual lol
I hear you on that. They’re pricey and needy things. I’ve been around a lot of cats and I know how you feel on that 😂. I wanted less pets but ultimately lost the battle on that!
Ok, maybe aim for finebeing first, THEN wellbeing
.... nah too much effort. I give up. Dying alone ain't that bad!
Try pushing through a week or two and you’ll start to notice the good parts of it. And don’t forget you’re everyone else’s NPC as well.
Uh, no. I am no NPC. I am clearly the Godqueen of Mankind and all of these peasants don't recognize me for my true worth. They will when I execute them!
Sarcasm? Or is it?
It's your world, baby! They just livin in it.
I was actually thinking of that bit from Mulaney when making the comment lol
Yes, I am a temporarily impoverished millionaire
Audiobooks are the way
I have tried so many times to get into podcasts and audiobooks but my ADHD just refuses 9 times out of 10. Stand up routines work well though, not sure why...
I get that. I have to do something while I do it. Walking is ok, but the real trick is biking. It’s good for the body and brain like walking but stimulating enough to let me listen to a book in peace
God I wish I felt like that. I'm more like desperately trying to find anything on the internet or on TV that is actually fun and interesting anymore.
Would love to have that feeling of excitement again. I remember being really excited about new computer games growing up... Every game was so fun to play.
You know you can bring the Internet outside with you.
Honestly, how much TV can someone watch before it's just a blur of all same same but different movies, series and whatnot?
Everyone is different though, for example I can't for the life of me watch any series to completion. Sometimes not even the first episode. But I can lose hours trawling through all I can find on Sphagnum moss.
