'Fall in love with boredom'

'Fall in love with boredom' is a quote from The Minimalists that's been resounding in my mind this afternoon. I wonder if such a thing is even possible.

It's Monday and looks to be a rather chilled out week ahead as my manager and boss are away for business. I'd love for it to be so quiet that I could do a little bit of discreet drawing but I reckon it'll be just busy enough to keep me from getting stuck into anything. It's okay. I do need to get into doing some arty things soon though, it's been too long. I'm letting too many other things get in the way.

Bodily, i'm starting to feel better. It's been 4 days since I've had no chocolate and I've been feeling much better waking up in the mornings, dispite it being my usual hormonal time. It's a trial trying to curb the desire to munch in the evenings. I wish I'd say I'd switched to fruit but of course, I haven't! I'm being more conscious of what i'm eating which seems to make a big difference. I've still been eating sweets and 'bad' foods but at the moment i'm just looking to those things as support while i'm adjusting to the change. I've tried cutting out all confection and I couldn't last more than 3 days! Terrible, how truly addicted to sugar I am. It's in everything.
This isn't a health kick, but I hope that it's a permanent change to my lifestyle. I hope that i'll automatically want to go to the gym at least 2 times a week in the hope of upping it to 3 then maybe 4 one day. All in good time. I suddenly get a wind of motivation and want to suddenly do everything but of course it doesn't last and tapers off. I wish there was a way to make motivation stay around for longer.

I've noticed my desire to start buying things is creeping up on me again. I'm browsing for things to love and consider purchasing and in a weak moment I slip up and soon it's in my hands. I don't feel frustrated by the clutter just yet but I know that a couple more items and i'll probably get the urge to sell my stuff again. I'm certainly buying less than I was last year which is a positive. I suppose all of this is a journey, it's not as straight forward as it sounds or appears. I need to try and cut myself some slack.
I plan on going to the gym this evening and then perhaps after that I'll look through my cupboard again and sort through some things. I know i've too much of it but I like and enjoy so much of it. I might wait for the weather to get a bit nicer before deciding whether to do a declutter. I fear I might get rid of something I might actually want because of this strange mood I appear to be in.
