  • Three Small Addictions

    I’ve always thought
    that once something becomes an addiction,
    it’s better to step away from it.
    Whatever it is.

    Lately, I think I might be addicted
    to three things.

    -Watching videos on my phone.
    -Caffeine.
    -Carbohydrates.

    When I wake up,
    I start playing videos
    without even thinking.
    After a meal,
    I almost automatically think about coffee.
    Even when I’m not hungry,
    carbohydrates circle around in my head.

    I told myself I should cut all three out.

    But I learned that breaking an addiction
    takes more willpower than I expected.
    Pulling something out of my mind
    when it keeps coming back
    is harder than it sounds.

    Two things seem to help.
    One is placing myself in a busy environment—
    especially when I’m around other people.
    The other is saying it out loud
    to my own brain:
    “You don’t need this right now.”

    I’m not free from them yet.
    But at least
    I’m no longer following them
    without noticing.

  • Saying “I Have the Will” Out Loud

    I saw a video saying that
    simply saying “I have the will” out loud can help.

    I tried it on the treadmill.
    I was already tired,
    but when I said,
    “I have the will to lose weight,”

    I was able to walk a little longer.

  • The Cycle of Movement and Confidence

    When I move,
    my confidence grows.

    When my confidence grows,
    I feel better.

    That better feeling
    makes me move again.

    I want to step into
    this cycle.

  • What Walter Mitty Taught Me About Reality and Imagination

    Have you watched The Secret Life of Walter Mitty?


    I liked this movie because Walter’s reality became far more beautiful than his imagination.


    Could he have imagined that he would run for so long, ride a skateboard with a volcano behind him, fall into the ocean where sharks live, or become the last photograph on a magazine cover?


    Probably not.


    Imagination is limited to what we already know.
    Reality isn’t.
    That’s why, sometimes, reality turns out to be more beautiful than imagination.

  • Reality Is More Beautiful Than Imagination

    Reality has no choice but to be more beautiful than imagination.

    My imagination is made only of what already exists in my head.

    If someone asked me to imagine the most amazing car,

    I would probably combine

    the best features I know,

    the most beautiful colors I’ve seen,

    and the shapes I already find cool.

    But reality is different.

    In reality, things I never imagined appear.

    If I move, if I step outside my head,

    I might see something I never imagined.

    World,

    show me something I never imagined.
