I find myself moving back and forth at times between older lifestyle habits versus cultivating new habits. I've found consistency in habit process sometimes is an act of doing consistently so that habits are more easily en grained.
While I set myself to the task of programming and educating myself on topics like mathematics, I decided about a few months to take a rest doing this. Why?! As to the important aspects of life, is it essential that we need specialize our minds to task and training in one thing, a few selection of things, do we need to make life long pursuit of specific careers?! Seems that careers do change as our minds are changing. I needed a rest. In the meantime, I relished the idea in spending time doing some home improvement projects. I've let stuff idle though...I weren't wholly professional in terms of time considerations to pursuits, but I've generally allowed myself psychologically speaking the freedom to move at my pace, as long as something of effort is made, this is a constructive and creative effort and that were most important relative to the criteria and assessment that might otherwise be made which judges failure by: efficiency, comparisons...and other aspects. Anyways, it terms of production and engineering DYI might be the next boon displacing old cultural notions of how we consume and what exactly we are able to produce on our own. Why not attempt something new in terms of a craft even if you aren't as good as you might have hoped?!
In recent years, I've felt like I've wanted to pursue other things. I like snapping photos...not obsessively, more selectively especially if a camera on hand provides for something that seems noticeable are unique enough to me. I used to think that be something meant having the rights sorts of access or pursuits...this is to say if you wanted to be a landscape photography, you might have thought of the worldly traveler?! Then more practically I might have found myself searching for anything that could have potentially been overlooked. How many times have I traveled down the same familiar path, and never having turned right or left down another path that I were always curious about. Oh, no...self help guru :) .... neither to add so much to the dystopia of self help here otherwise, but I am practical too...I still like to relax on a sofa, watch television, not think so much, sleep, nap, and do anything that would defy so much exertion. Anyways, we spend how much of our lives resting relative to much else? Honestly not even remotely a cleanly person here, or attentive to organization in person. I like book clutter, stacks of gadgets and everything strewn about coffee tables, desktop monitors adding to the negative energy of clean space.
What I've learned though for years of formerly being more so the loaf and jobless for years...is that you get bored, honestly as to desensitization, I've felt mixed in opinion on these matters...on the one hand I think a society so sensitively obsessed that it can scarcely tolerate much of anything that were deviant to socially conformed notions...while on the other hand, I wouldn't spend my time defending bullying/taunting/harassing behavior. Then some years ago, recalling a psychologist whom expressed the concern that the online existence were changing personal social psychology in so far interpersonal relationships. Likened in principle to the notion of that neighbors might have their spate of squabbles and disagreements but eventually might find ways to come around to longstanding silent feuds, but much different relative to being 'blocked' or censored. Sort of disagree here however...after all don't people check to see if they've been un friended from facebook, or get concerned with whether or not they are or aren't being heard?! More commonly, though it seems the converse for social networking, which could be a like a lingering party that just hadn't ended at the sixth hour but continued at times into the hell of screaming polemics...only tiring after the hundredth time of what no longer were debate, discourse, argument. Surely there were something else right, however, in that all the proclivities to social etiquette in personal meeting were different relative to online communication. Of course, I've shared in my politics at times, but generally have kept to a level of refrain in recent years...thinking more sensitively at least of the graffiti that I put up, and anyways, its another time investment being highly active writing on these matters in its own right.
I feel like I were on the break of something with my online connection here, but mostly it were in the way of being able to share something socially even if most hadn't really related, and I were lucky enough to be heard or well read, and at least if adding something in publication, this were with some purpose of merely adding, I am greatful for what I 've been able to surround myself with online also...
feel sorry for younger generations that aren't as nuanced in the art of finding the culture that supports them...hopefully they'll mature sooner rather then later and find kindness and support.
As to the other world that I've live in offline...I've spent more time in more introspective ways. Its there, I've gone out...I can't say that it hadn't felt any more contrived then the first time I felt like awkward signing up for facebook or any other social networking site. I am not sure if the audience is the same or different.
