You know how they go. The Barbie doll wife has a husband who's a doctor. Somehow she manages to slip this fact into every conversation. You are SO sick of hearing about her doctor husband but words are useless.
So you invent a drinking game to amuse yourself. A group of her friends AR sitting around at brunch and whenever she says the word "doctor," you take a shot. Of your favorite adult beverage. Now most people think a shot is an ounce but having worked behind the bar, a shot is an ounce and a half most of the time. Nevertheless a little sip'l do ya.
I was thinking about this today because I have been doing all kinds of a little tasks around the house. A lot of it involves sitting on the couch and sorting stuff out. While I do that I'm watching TV. So I decided every time a commercial came on, I'd take a shot. Of water.
Then I was watching the news. I watched a lot of news I watch the four the five the 5:30 and 6. And every time they finish telling a story I took a shot.
My Baseline for daily living is a state of depression. I might not get out of bed for weeks. I've been revising my depression slightly lately by sitting in a chair in the living room instead of laying on my bed.
So, about a week ago I started coming out of the depression and as it turned out I became pretty active. You would not believe some of the things I have done. Anyway that's not the point. The point is that everyone has repetition during the day. We all have habits and we all repeat them. Why don't you look at your habits and every time you do one of them, take a shot.
Or better, try to find something like television. It really really works.
