In a recent JFP Radio broadcast, Todd played a song by Vasti Jackson called “My Computer Turned On Me.” I can really relate to this right now since my eMac crashed a week ago while I was installing some fonts. Since that time, I have used five different computers to get my work done. Yes, five. The eMac is on the mend, and I hope to return to it soon, but I can’t help but wonder if I would not have been as stressed out about the situation if I stuck to all of my wellness goals. If I was consistent with spending time outdoors, knit a few scarves or actually remembered to do my breathing exercises, maybe I would have…oh, never mind. I’m not even going there. I’m just going to start afresh with my goals and change my strategy a little. I am going to set up reminders on my online calendar or my cellphone to help me remember my goals. Otherwise, I will be so caught up in my day-to-day responsibilities that I’ll never remember to do them. Well, back to the drawing board!
