Beyond Selidor

Always keeping my eyes open for especially good trees or beautiful flowers.

Taking a shower before bed. There is no feeling like sliding into bed clean and cool.

Surrounding myself with art that I love.

Listening to whole albums. I just like going on a whole journey with an artist instead of hearing random songs like on the radio.

No algorithms. I refuse to use social media that makes my choices for me. On Instagram and Tumblr, I ONLY look at the accounts I follow (which I'm intentional about) in reverse chronological order. That's the only way I want to see internet "content."

Writing life updates for my journal. It gives me a chance to record for my future self what Im' thinking about or concerned about or looking forward to at a given time in my life. I tried for years to consistently keep a physical journal, but I would start it and abandon it. By knowing that there are a few friends out there who might actually care about what's going on with me, I feel enough of a desire to actually write it down.

Paying for a yoga class. I do not have the will power to make myself exercise. But when I pay for a class, I go because I refuse to waste my money, and once I'm there, I'm obviously going to do what the teacher says. That's the only kind of exercising I can consistently do!
