Accountability List - Improving

in The Flame29 days ago

I'm getting closer and closer. One of these days, very soon, I'm actually going to check every item off the accountability list! For now, I'm very nearly there.

I went to sleep an hour alter than intended (1:30 a.m. instead of 12:30 a.m.). I'm certainly closer to my goal than on other days, however.

Yesterday's accountability list:

  • Stay on my phone for <1 hour ✓
  • Exercise ✓
  • Stretch ✓
  • Meditate ✓
  • Draw or read an art history book ✓
  • Get off the internet by 5:30 p.m. ✓
  • Go to sleep by 12:30 a.m. X
  • Watch a TV show or movie with my family ✓

Everything else went quite well. I ended up reading an art history book rather than drawing yesterday. For me personally, absorbing art and history simultaneously is quite stimulating in a most positive way. I'm currently in the very early portions of the book, and I do expect that it'll take a few years to actually read through the entire thing at my current pace. That's ok, however, because it's a truly thorough and excellent read, even if dense.

As for today, I was considering going to a local Halloween event. It's getting a bit late, so I have to decide rather son. It would be a fun social event, of which I truly have not had many in recent years. It's either this or relaxing at home and drawing.

In all honesty, I would probably have some regrets not going to this event, as one of my goals has been to simply get out more. I can always draw on a different day - the paper, pencil, and pen will remain here. Events, however, swiftly go away.

I suppose writing this out was significant enough for me to convince myself to just go and have some fun outside today. I'm not going to wrestle with whether or not I deserve it (I could spend literally days debating this), so instead of overthinking as I typically do, I'll just go and have some fun.

Happy Halloween, folks! Go out and scare the poor little children.
