Interesting you're packing Zoe in. My friend who uses it is also using it less and less and finding it more and more irritating. The cost of going "main stream" I suppose.
When you say you'd like to post in the "art" community did you have one in mind? When I looked I couldn't find one that really suited the stuff I do. There's the alien/digital one which seems to be the most active. And the one where only "professional" artists are allowed.
I did toy with the idea of creating one but hwen I searched there are loads of them. But not active ones. Looks like some people just wanted to nab the community name without doing anything with it.
Anyhoo . . . I wish you and yours a very Happy, healthy, adventurous, peaceful and wonder full year. xxx
A relaxing year would be nice 😂. I'm feeling there is far too much going on.
I finished Zoe about the end of August when my last subscription ran out. I'd just about had my fill of it by then, it was getting counter-productive. For the first time in my life, I was getting anxious about what I was eating! As I said in the post, I've learnt the insights I needed, I can get on with it without being bossed about and paying for the privilege 😂. I have done more research and reading and I'm trying to focus on increased fibre and increased activity (tbh, that wouldn't be hard, I'm doing so little). I've another blood test in a fortnight, so we'll see what's what.
I meant the Art. community. I like the ideas behind that - it's more about practice and creativity and some sort of philosophical wholeness approach than performance (other than as practice). I went to some of the co-creation sessions but the timing wasn't right for me - one of the reasons why I'm looking forward to the Knit Happens sessions. I think people have ideas about communities without realising the work involved.
I hope you have a wonderful year, too - ideally with a chance to meet-up 😍

Feeling there is too much going on is a common feeling amongst my friends whilst I have the opposite 0- the feeling I need to ramp myself up and do more. 😂 Although that obviouslty suits me else I wouldn't be here.
One of my focuses this year is to be more mindful about what I actually am doing. I spend too much time online just out of habit and because sitting in the not knowing feels more uncomfortable so I carry on with same old same old.
I'm intending to make better choices more often which actually started before Christmas when I stopped playing a clicker game I've been mindlessly playing for years, telling myself it doesn't take much time to just click every now and then.
I was having a conversation with a friend where I described how I was gradually withdrawing time from it. When I heard myself explaining my elaborate plan for getting out completely, I asked myself whay not just stop NOW! So I did. 💪
It was uncomfortable for a couple of days as I've been playing it for years but then I was really, really glad I'd stopped. It had become a sort of addictive habit.
This year I want to be more mindful of how I'm spending my time and more honest with myself why I'm doing what I'm doing.
Hey! you got a #topcomment vote! 💪
😂 I know exactly what you mean! Sometimes, we have to say it out loud to realise what's going on. I think that's one of the benefits of blogging - you're explicit about something by writing it down, and then that sort of clears headspace for new ideas/decisions (I don't know how it works, I'm surmising).
Although I deliberated for a while about Zoe, I barely missed it when I stopped doing it. I occasionally log food with myfitnesspal just to get an idea about the protein/fat/fibre profile, but I think I'm about sorted now.
