Are you tracking?
Well, dammit! Why not?
Just playin'.
For too many years, I had a nasty habit of picking at the cuticles, the skin around my fingernails.
Peeps, it was bad!
Bandaging my fingertips during the day with Neosporin helped, yet, during sleep, yeah. UGH! Waking up with bleeding fingers was awful.
It was ugly.
It was pain filled.
It was embarrassing.
Getting professional manicures was a 3 day at most, temp fix! Akin to putting a band aid on a 10 inch gut incision.
Yupp.
There was a deeper problem. It was about anxiety, fear, uncertainty.
Putting any number of reasons why were futile. As 2017 was nearing 2018, the decision that it was time to quit was key.
Unhealthy habits are tough to break.
In 2017, it was time to gather some resolve!
It's working!
As I work with this awesome PT to improve health while improving physical appearance, it's also doing great things to quell anxiety, fear, general uncertainty.
Something more that is helping is to realize that I have to wrap my fingertips at night before bed, then, slightly less than before, during the day.
It may seem that this is a much smaller issue than it actually is, that there are people in the world starving, homeless, being abused plus even worse. Every person has to do what works for them. As long as they are doing right by others as well as themselves, it's okay.
Solving world peace, world hunger, it's out of my reach. Doing good within the town I live in is possible, so, that's what I do.
The air travel industry has the right idea when telling people to put their own oxygen mask on before helping others.
People must take care of themselves so that they can help others.
Each must take personal responsibility for themselves as much as possible. Having peace in your own heart, you can set an example of peace for others. Self sufficiency with personal accountability lends harmony to the home. Whether living alone or with others.
Charity begins at home.
