Senses working overtime #533

1 The feeling this week:

2 Watching: Alone Africa (season 12)




This one is dropping episodes every Friday so it's a bit painful waiting but, like all the other Alone seasons, it's good quality reality stuff.


3 Reading: Three books

Full week at school means not a huge amount of time that I can devote to reading, so I am continuing to enjoy Bel Ami (Guy de Maupassant), God Only Knows (David Leaf) and the biography of Truman (it's huge!)


4 Listening: Joe Henderson - Page One




I bought this from JB Hi Fi this week - a perfect album and it was his solo debut! 


5 Reading: Mojo Magazine #377




I'm a latecomer to early to mid period Genesis. Great covermount CD featuring some seminal prog bands.


Overtime: James Clear


"There are many elements of living a good life, but the first and most foundational is to love yourself and enjoy spending time with yourself.

Go do things on your own so you learn to trust your mind and view it as a welcome companion. If someone declared, "Tomorrow you must spend the day alone" the hope is that you would reply, "That sounds like a good day!"

The person who is at ease within finds every other space larger and more enjoyable."

Senses working overtime #532

1 Back to school (a sea of possibilities)




2 Reading: Bel Ami - Guy de Maupassant




3 Watched and watching: Alone Australia season 1, and season 3.




4 Listening: Queen on Fire -Live at the Bowl




5 Feeling icky: stopped watching Dance Moms

More on this on Wozza's Place next week. Watch for it.


Overtime: 

Be forgiving with your past self. What's done is done. Take the lessons with you and release the guilt.

Be strict with your present self. Win the moment in front of you right now.

James Clear
