I hate everything.

40. I posted about this a few days ago

I usually go weeks, even months, without looking at most media. I haven't watched corporate news media in over a decade, and don't have instagram or any of the silly trendy mind-programming social media stuff. I have been popping in here on DU the last couple of days, but its still 99% poison and vitriol and emotional histrionics and so I will be taking a break again most likely.

Control your environment and you will control your mindset. At least that works for me. I spent most of the weekend enjoying my family, my yard, and the outdoors. I trimmed and inspected and cared for my 16 new trees, laid in the sun, got in 15,000 steps each day, and generally enjoyed myself. When I did bother to look into current events, it so soured my mood that I slept two hours less than normal (Sat night) and I had to do some mindfulness stuff Sunday to snap out of it and get back into a proper mindset.

I'll control what I can control, within my microscopic field of influence. What I can't control I won't even think about, because frankly, I don't care. Politics changes with the winds and always has. I see no need to pay it any mind, most days.

And now if you will excuse me, I got to work this morning an hour early so I can be doing laps around the parking lot when the sunrise graces me with its warmth and beauty so I start my day on a positive note.
