I feel great at the moment. Just picking up my habits from when I was most productive / most happy in my life, which is like 8 years ago! This weekend I decided to live offline. Well, I still had my phone but I didn't put on the computer. I went out for tennis and walks / bike rides, it was great. I also became very creative, with all kind of ideas to do the rest of the year. I will tell more about that in a later post.
Minimalism etc.
The last years I lived really restricted. I think when I became more and more plant-based. Off course I still eat plant-based, but with the vegan lifestyle I started watching too much YouTube of other vegan, who were also a minimalist and had all kind of rules for their lives. I think I wanted to be to much as them while still being in a normal job. Which isn't easy.
So now I decided to not be a minimalist anymore. I want to have a cosy house and not an empty house. I will just buy my books at book markets and plants etc. Just make my home really my home and not a cold place.
In food I also felt the best when I did some nice cooking (with oil) and don't restrict myself to have a sober meal of just plain dr. Greger Daily Dozen foods. Life is for the living and not for restriction.
Off course, I will restrict myself not to eat / drink too much. But I just want to be happy again and I see that this lifestyle I'm now following is making me happy. I also want to make a course about living a happy life without restrictions while still being good for the animals (this was one of the creative ideas I had when I was offline this weekend).
Daily Goals
Another thing that went away the past great days was my neck pain. Which was just a form of stress or unhappiness. I made some adjustments in my daily goals.. I deleted a minimalist lifestyle. Also I deleted no alcohol, since it's not a daily goal. I still track my expenses and rate my days. Coffee is a thing I want to restrict myself on, since it really has a bad influence on my stomach. So 1 coffee a day...
