Another Friday. Wow. I’ve been on my Twitter fast for a couple of weeks now and I have got to tell you, it’s been hard. The FOMO is real, y’all. I was used to that hit of dopamine every so often through the day (and night sometimes) and when you cut it off, it’s a big hit to the ol’ limbic systems.
I do miss the conversations with all of the friends I’ve made online, but honestly, there are plenty of other ways we are keeping touch. We’ve actually gone back to the mid 2000s and are emailing and texting each other! Almost like being a social media Amish.
What I don’t miss is the constant barrage of BREAKING…. and then some inane current event outtake. I’ve read less of what everyone’s opinion is of what’s going on in the world and I’m better for it.
I’ve also learned I was chasing the ‘guru’ in a sense. With my recent focus on my health again, I was a sponge for info, tips, guidance and paths. I put that down, even stopped wearing my Fitbit and my new Garmin. Quit chasing metrics. It was stressful and I don’t need any new stress. I started just doing what I felt like doing, eating the way I know how is right and listening to my body. No guilt, just grateful living.
Sometimes, simpler is best.
Here’s My Friday “What’s Good to Go Know”
Here’s what I’m recommending you check out this weekend if you have some time.
Check out my friend Jonathan Pritchard over at https://www.icanreadminds.com/ He’s a world class mentalist, life mastery specialist and just an entertaining dude.
Are you a music fan? You should check out friends Mike and Ginger and their YouTube channel for their takes on new music, old music and all music. They’re a couple of great folks living a good life down in Costa Rica. Here’s the link and tell ‘em Chief Chuck sent you.. https://www.youtube.com/c/PlayItAgainwithMikeandGinger?app=desktop
Another great Substack to check out is Mr. J. Daley’s Think, Read, Write, Repeat. He’s got a ton of awesome info and entertaining material on there, 5 stars gotta read.
Well, that’s a wrap for this week! Have a great weekend and Lead Forward!
