Since the New Year, I have been making many positive changes to my life. But I think the source of all this change actually came not from my free will, but because I had to stop drinking to take Accutane. Its not as though drinking were some kind of issue, but when it was absent I noticed how much a filler it can be, much like the other things I’ve phased out
Reductions:
- Not Drinking
- Quiting TV
- phasing out myspace
- checking email less
Additions:
- Revamping my studio
- Working on exciting ideas for my new show
- reading more
- going to see more art, going to museums
- collaborating with friends
- Volunteering and taking classes at Shambhala
- Re-committing to my daily meditation practice and trying to work with lojong
- Keeping this blog and my accutane blog
Without the time filler activities, I’ve been able to add in so many more positive activities. One down side is that the Accutane makes me feel like a lethargic arthritic old lady, so I haven’t been exercising at all, and it is driving me crazy. I am looking forward to May, when my skin transformation is complete, the accutane is over, and I can maintain my new life style, but with energy.
