Developing Better Instincts

05/12/15

Today was a bad day, and on bad days I've noticed I fall into vicious cycles. I justify eating and drinking junk for "comfort", even though I know it doesn't make me feel better, and even though I used to have the habit of exercise or water or carrots (which I even brought to work) to fight the onslaught of things not going my way, and somewhere I lost that.

One good thing, though, is that I'm fighting hard to maintain my current sleep schedule (sleeping the hours of 1900 through 0300), and I'm making more and more conscious note of my making bad decisions in the moment. I simply haven't learned to consistently make alternative choices that properly curb the cycle of energy loss.

It may be time to develop certain record-keeping for this aspect of my life, to better convince myself of appropriate actions to take.
