Fresh Start
As I'm sure you know by now, I let my hair and beard grow through the Winter as insulation against the cold. This year, there hasn't been much of a Winter to insulate myself against. However, as I wrote in my last journal, it has been just cold enough to keep me stuck in the house all day, every day. This is a problem. Rather than keeping me warm in the bitter Canadian cold, all my beard and longer hair have been doing is acting as constant reminders of how I'm stuck in my house, and the weather is wholly uninteresting. So I'm down here looking like a hobo and feeling in the doldrums, all day, every day. I'm waking up late, breaking up my day around a workout, and not being productive at all. Basically, what I've been doing isn't working for me. So it's time for a change, and in this case, changing begins with appearance: as of 10:00 this morning, my beard is short, and as of 2pm, my hair is short as well. I've changed my appearance to look respectable. Starting tomorrow I'm going to be waking up with my alarm clock in the morning, and putting on pants. I'm going to treat my day as if it were a proper work day, and focus on getting things done. The workout will come later in the day, on days when I have one, and I'm going to set myself up in a routine again. I'm always the first person to say "if you don't like what you're doing, do something else;" time to practice what I preach. |
