Occasionally I have a legitimate reason for needing to get onto Twitter (and I still have an account). But when I go there, it's no problem to look up what I need and then close it again—I don't get sucked down a rabbit hole of trying to catch up on all the funny tweets. In other words, it's not an all-or-nothing kind of thing, just a healthy relationship with the once-addictive website. Same with the scale. I could get weighed at the doctor's office or something, and I'd be mildly interested to know what I weighed, it would not "ruin" my lack of obsession with weight. That's why I think there's something kind of magical about thinking this way.Ironmom (Julie)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14178486144653846897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4811125698589476406.post-68125233723950560852013-03-12T12:36:37.653-06:002013-03-12T12:36:37.653-06:00Be sure to share if you come up with some helpful ...Be sure to share if you come up with some helpful "I'm the kind of person who…" statements. Some seem to work better than others. <br /><br />And I think you were on the right track about starting things like this with a "clean house," so to speak. If I could ever get my house totally clean for just a day, I *think* I could be the type of person who never walks past a weed.Ironmom (Julie)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14178486144653846897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4811125698589476406.post-40389873963469009632013-03-12T11:16:34.913-06:002013-03-12T11:16:34.913-06:00serendipity. ya gotta love it.
I've been stru...serendipity. ya gotta love it.<br /><br />I've been struggling with ...well... all manner of things really. but. yesterday I came across an exercise from PN (hence the serendipity notation) that had us write down: "A fit person chooses to [fill in the blank] and therefore as a fit person I choose to [fill in the blank] today."<br /><br />Exactly the way you see yourself as a person who no longer uses twitter. Or as a person who no longer obsesses about your weight.<br /><br />I remember thinking at the time. well duh. because it seemed obvious. <br /><br />obvious, yes. until you forget. and then we're left waffling in the wind having to decide if in fact we really want to step on that scale. or log in to twitter. or not do that workout.<br /><br />by identifying with a "type" we jump into that ready-made psyche and no longer have to deal with the brain monkeys who try and dissuade us from our task. because we already know. we DO that. we ARE that.<br /><br />hmmm... manifesto indeed!Jen Wordenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10166427619338355642noreply@blogger.com
