healthier choices

Following the trend of making healthier choices, I've found myself mindlessly scrolling through social media for hours at a time lately. So after I see the content from people that I actually follow, I'm making the conscious choice to set the phone down and do something else.

So far instead of mindless scrolling, I've:

organized the tackle box

tried a few new cleaning methods on the shower (nothing worked great)

pet the cat

watered the garden

sat outside and watched the clouds, nature, whatever

researched organizing ideas for specific spots (like under the kitchen sink)

cleaned out a kitchen cabinet

picked out some wedding songs

taken a nap

I'm going to order a couple of books from my wishlist to have on hand and there are a million little projects around here I can take on. I think my eyes are happier, too. They get so strained looking at a screen for so long.

Also I figured out a good option for physical activity. You're going to laugh because it's so obvious. I got the idea when FF and I were taking a dip in the river to cool off one evening.

DUH. We live on the river. We can SWIM. Even hopping out of the tube to tread water is good physical activity. I haven't swam for exercise in many years but it's so perfect in this heat. 

So there you go.
