To Don't List

To Don't List

Your health.

Look at it.

Like really examine it.

There are things you do and there are things you don’t do.

Make a To Don’t List.

That’s right.

All of the unhealthy.

All the stuff you do that you sorta know you shouldn’t do.

That you definitely know you shouldn’t.

You know.

Ever hear of the elimination diet?

Well here’s your elimination list.

Late night TV with bag of Pirate’s Booty in hand?

That’s on my list.

It says “Get Hooked!!”

I did.

I cut it.

It sucked.

I love late night TV.

I love Pirate’s Booty.

I started with one.

One thing.

One habit.

One at a time.

I’m sleeping more.

Healthier pirate sans booty.

Arrrrgghhhhh.

Whoa there big fella.

I’m talking to my own belly.

Tomorrow I’ll add one more thing to the list.

Microstep: Make a list of some stuff you know you coulda-shoulda-woulda eliminated a long time ago. Call it your To Don’t List. Live it.
