Needing nothing, attracts everything. I want to be free. I want zero vices, detachment and complete self empowerment.
I’ll be 10 years sober on Dec 20th this year. Looking back, I quit alcohol, drugs and cigarettes. This year I’m pharmaceutical free, done with all that poison. I’m finding out that even herbs aren’t good. Stopped using my herbal sleep salve after doing some digging. So far it’s just Homeopathic tablets for sleep. I’d like to get to the point of using nothing.
I can’t believe how far I’ve come, years ago I was taking so much crap just to sleep. Histamine rebound sucks, I swear I’ll never take another antihistamine product again. The more crap I remove/cut off the more ‘tired’ I feel. As if my body is finally free to feel what was being hid or suppressed by the substances. The older I get, the more I realize the less I actually need. You grow up and see the world and think you need to eat this, take that, use ect. I don’t need the crap, I never did.
I’ve been slowly reducing calories too, trying to see if I indeed eat too much. I’ve cut out stuff I bring to work and I’m still doing okay. It’s been tough trying to convince myself that I don’t need as much food as I’m used to. Started making cooked sorghum + ground beef and man is that filling. Clean, simple foods. The more fake food you eat, the quicker you get hungry because it’s empty crap.
Purity has been on my mind a lot. Less is more. Urges to go through my home and just get rid of shit. I keep going through my clothes too, removing stuff that doesn’t fit or isn’t a flattering color. There’s an odd desire within to ‘streamline’ things. Honestly my overall drive has faded somewhat, I’ve become more disinterested in things yet at the same time more focused on me/my environment.
I used to let myself/my home/my needs go in order to invest at work or in others. Now it seems to be reversing, I’m way more interested in me and mine. I’ve been incorrectly investing my time, until now.
Do better, be better - theme of the week.
