WISE ASS WEDNESDAY

I Tracked Every Time I Felt Like Crap for a Week , Here's What I Learned I kept telling myself I was having a “bad week.” That phrase is convenient, isn’t it? A bad week. A weird mood. A little tired. Kind of stressed. Not sleeping great. Scrolling too much. Snapping at people for breathing near me. Very scientific. But I had a suspicion that “bad week” was actually several different things piled on top of each other. Poor sleep. Too much phone time. Not enough movement. Anxiety I kept pretending was just productivity. Irritability I blamed on everybody else, because obviously the entire planet was being annoying specifically to me. So I decided to track it. Not with an expensive wellness retreat. Not with a $300 subscription that sends me inspirational notifications written by somebody named Sage.

EPISODE CLXVII: THE REGRET YEAR

 This is a picture from 2016 and I look happy, but I am really not.  I talk about how I screwed so much stuff up that year and it was the beginning of a slippery slope of doom with people who knew me, loved me, and the vomit of lots of anger, sadness, and guilt I was carrying for so long.  I think we all have years like this when we were at our worst.  How can we recover?  Did I make everything better? Was I able to grow and learn from it? Can you? Can anyone?  Time heals, but we must help move that process along. MUSIC FROM THIS EPISODE IT WAS A VERY GOOD YEAR - Frank Sinatra ALL THE THINGS SHE SAID - Poppy SACRIFCE - Kx5(Kaskade, Deadmau5)/Sofi Tukker WORST DAY - Illenium REPLICA - Fear Factory WILL I - Music from the Broadway Musical Rent WHEN LIFE IS GOOD AGAIN - Dolly Parton
