I love learning new words!
Frisson. Definition: a sudden strong feeling of excitement or fear; a thrill. Word is used to describe a feeling when experiencing an audio or visual event that causes a physical response, i.e. chills.
I also love reddit, because I learn new words. Some of them very bad.
Last night when I completed my future self journaling, I apparently forgot to finish the last questions, as I went on and on writing my Gratefuls list. It happens.
I have also been spending a moment each morning and evening to set an intention for the current and next day. Not finding that successful. Perhaps my brain is getting annoyed with all these extra tasks I add each day. Hard to imagine as adding to a list is my favorite…
I am grateful for:
- Finding new books to read! I came across a book about the history of seed gathering. I look forward to reviewing the book. After I buy and read it, of course.
- My health! Covid free. I also recently purchased a more expensive blood pressure testing unit. Used The Sps as a test to see how close it got to a medical personnel administered test and it was nearly identical the two times we had an opportunity to check the difference. A nice surprise. My BP has dropped approximately 20 points over the course of 6 months, both systolic and diastolic. This morning my blood pressure was 111/69. Thrilled! My blood pressure reading went from consistently elevated to consistently normal with a few dietary changes.
-reduced my Pepsi consumption to once a week.
-loosely follow DASH/Med/MIND diet, primary reducing red meat consumption to once or twice a week. I haven’t managed to reduce butter. Love the stuff.
-I enjoy vegetables, yet still increased consumption further. - Another day of lovely walking weather. It feels good to mark consecutive X’s, logging my exercise.
- Doing good with my water consumption. Doing good. I like water, I just forget sometimes.
Godspeed Y’all!
