What strategies do you use to increase comfort in your daily life?

I use short cuts. And I tell myself that I am a good person.

There are lots of people in my life that would argue against short cuts. But, I’m not talking about cheating, or Half assedness. No, I’m talking about Audio Books, and hiring a handyman.

As egotistical as it may sound, self care is doing the world a favour. I heard an interview with the movie director Taika Waititi once, when he was ask why he put himself in all his movies. He said “Because I love myself”. And, that guy makes great movies.

I’ve quit smoking again. This was a selfish act. I made myself uncomfortable so that I could make myself more comfortable. My last smoke was just before Christmas ‘22. If i fell off the wagon, which could easily happen, and smoked again. The worst thing I could do is beat myself up. I deserve all the chances I can muster to quit smoking. Any amount of mental gymnastics, or wordplay that can help you feel good about making yourself more healthy, is worth it.

I really liked this book, The audio book is narrated by the author.
