It's the first day of Spring and time for a new outlook on life.
I walked at lunchtime. Actually, I strolled, which was lovely.
I have this weird new thing I'm going to try. I was trying to come up with something to replace eating when I got stressed or nervous. Something like smoking (which I don't want to start again) or crocheting (but I can't do this at work or at parties) or chewing gum (makes my jaw hurt and makes me hungry) or chewing on a pen (yuck.) Then I was doing something with timecards and pulled the rubber band off and began playing with it and it works. Almost like a hynosis gimmic. I've been doing it all day and it's working. I'm blowing off nervous energy, I can hide it, I can snap it to get myself back when I zone out, I can put it around my wrist for when I need it. It's like wiggling your foot, biting your nails or tapping a pen, but better.
I'm going to make a real list of things I want to do before I die.

A rubber band! great, I'll try it too!
Make the list long...it will keep you busy too ;)
I think that's a fabulous idea! I grazed all day! Count me in the snapper club! Rubber band snapper that is!
Dabich: I may be overly optimistic since I only did it yesterday, but I think it will work as a new way to get the proper focus. I saw someone who did 100 items. That sounds like a good number to me.
Katie: I think the snapping will work. Just having it on my wrist makes me feel more conscious.
Playing with a rubber band will not be on my list of things to do before I die
Dr. J: Are you sure? Cause it's so much fun and exciting; D
