Hello earthlings!
For two days this week I have been dazedly observing some sort of miraculous occurrence; I went to bed before 12:00. Both nights.
STRANGE RIGHT?! Seriously though, I had developed a legitimate routine of getting into bed at approimately 12:48 each night. Not exactly healthy when you need to wake up at 6.
But seeing as how this strange, strange thing will most certainly be short-lived, I'm going to take advantage of the time that it does exist and tell you, to the best of my abilities, how I did it.
I refreshed myself.
Hence the very creative post title.
No but really, trying something new, or simply
forcing your mind to do something a little bit differently, completely refreshes your mind and can easily lift your brain out of that
cavernous pit of procrastination and self-despair. You all know what I'm talking about; we all know the inside of that pit better than we know our pillows.
For me, the catalyst was beginning to read for pleasure again. Reading is great. It's like
the smart-people form of distraction, and it sharpened my brain while giving is a respite from soggy math homework.
I also found some new music, and this helped to enliven my zombie-like state of being. "One More Night" by Adam Levine. That's my jam.
So
step out of your normal routine. Try something new. Hopefully, if all goes well, you'll see a spike in your productivity and creativity and general well-being.
Hm. I guess this is a sign from Mother Nature to literally
spice up your life. Because new is only new more so long, you know?
Is a good life the life where there is no normal?
Ha. Let THAT be your unofficial thought provoker. :)
And here's a picture, just for good measure.

Enjoy loveliness and remember to muse!
