What could you do more of?

A worthy question indeed. I used to do a lot of things, for myself and others, that lately I have ignored or willfully chosen to not take action. What I need to figure out is whether the question is asking me to commit to doing more of something that I used to do or asking me to do more of something I traditionally have not done a lot of. I’m on the fence if that makes sense.

Work isn’t something I look forward to doing anymore. Actually, here is a nice list of things I don’t like or have stopped on a regular basis except in extreme situations:

  • Mowing the lawn
  • Washing clothes
  • Going food shopping
  • Outside (mainly people)
  • Parties
  • Food, any food, anywhere

I’ve been in this head space before and until I got help, it wasn’t a pretty situation and no one wanted to be around me for too long. That’s not a way to live life as I’ve found that some connection, even tiny, is required to keep someones brain from going into the dark places. I think that is my answer to the question here. I need to do more “people” in the sense of being around them, interacting through conversation, and making an effort to somehow enjoy the experience. I need to figure out how to keep then from running away though.
