Reminders RRR

1 week later, 5th post....looks like I could well be on the way to forming a new habit! 21 repeats sets an action into a habit. I am loving writing. Finding this a wonderful outlet for a bit of my creative energy.
HOW LONG HAVE YOU HAD IT?
So every post you will find this headline as I post the answer and the reason for having the item. It may also include tips on how I managed or happened to have it for that periods. I grew tired of being a consumer, a while ago and during this process the importance of REDUCE, REUSE AND RECYCLE became a very important catch phrase in my life. But it needed to be more important than a saying, it needed to be translated into action. Just like Blogging was a great idea....a wonderful thought.....something I was going to do, there comes a time when ACTION must be taken. Slowly over the years, I have made minor adjustments in everyday life, such as:
REUSABLE CARRY BAGS FOR SHOPPING
NO LONGER BUY WATER- REFILL SAME BOTTLE DAILY
NO LONGER USE DISPOSABLE CUPS AND STRAWS.
These were really small personal adjustments that were fairly easy to do.
NOW, I am going to tackle the more difficult ones, like home rubbish recycling, total elimination of single use plastic and of course to stay totally away from supermarket plastic bags. Writing something down also helps translate thoughts into action! The time is now to make my small difference.
So HOW LONG HAVE I HAD it????
Well going through this decluttering process I have been going through my school annuals from High School the oldest from 1984...so 33 years it has been travelling with me! Definitely will not be throwing these away! The older I get, the more I need these reminders of my fabulous youth! What a wonderful reminder of those carefree days.

I got hacked!

 So, Tuesday 26 September 2023, saw me waging a two hour war with a hacker, trying to gain access to my Facebook account, and his eventual winning. So very frustrating. My fault, I stupidly shared a FB code, to another friend, who had been hacked, hereby giving the gremlin access to mine. Why, I cry in tears, so frustrated and sad to be losing about 15 years of history, as shared on the social media platform. With my holey memory, there were wonderful days when reminders of days past popped up. I am looking at this loss and thinking, what can I learn. There is a reason it is gone. What is it and how can I turn this into a positive? All I know right now is, I am missing it. Why? Not working, it was a touchpoint into the world outside my four walls here. Please note I did not say "the real world", because generally one cannot view what goes on there as real. But it is a welcome break from ones surrounding reality, when that reality is where you spend 24/24 hours, usually. The w...

Mashed!

Hands up....all those that think about doing something and then never, ever get around to doing it? Yes, my arm is up to... the one not typing. Since blogging started, I have wanted to start one, but life always got in the way! There were and are better things to do with my time. There really still are, BUT I want to write. No, I also need to write. I need to keep my mind busy and what better way than a public diary? I love the written word. At one stage in my life, I was consuming an average of a 350 page novel per week. After work! I think my problem with a blog post is WHAT DO I WRITE ABOUT? My life is way too boring and hum drum for the general public to care about. My opinions ....well as my handle "MISHMASH" foretells...I am a bit scatter brained.  One minute I am running down the pathway of lamenting about being a late starter in the blogging posts and the next I am baiting up the hill and staring into the deep crevices of my scattered mind! It is very easy to blame o...

TESOL Week 7 Culture and Psychology

Image
Of course, culture and psychology are closely entwined. Your make-up, which consists of your upbringing (culture) will define the way you operate in life. This includes your IQ (intelligence quotient), EQ (emotional intelligence), PQ (physical intelligence) and your SQ (spiritual intelligence). There is a new one which has been added AQ=adversity intelligence. Let me summarise the indicators of a clear mind, a whole person, a well-rounded individual: IQ= it is your intelligence test score, as per a written exam. EQ= it is a measure of your interpersonal and communication skills. PQ= Ability to listen, identify and respond to one's internal messages about your physical self wrt weight, fitness and diet. SQ= The ability to behave with wisdom and compassion while maintaining inner and outer peace. Now I could waffle on for hours about psychology and what makes one tick, but for the essence of this blog, I am focussing on CULTURE and one's psychology and how it would apply...
