Dance all evening or sip tea in sweatpants? Here are some ideas on having a more healthy mindset.
Sitting Is The Opposite Of Standing
If you spend any time on Instagram, you might need heard Brian Jordan Alvarez’s tune “Sitting” (<– that’s a hyperlink to Apple Music to hear!).
“Sitting” is a catchy tune with a quite simple message sung by Brian’s character TJ Mack (pictured under). The tune went viral after a bunch of various musical artists began making covers of the tune. My very favourite cowl is the musical theater audition! I believe the message of “you deserve to sit” is a secondary purpose the tune is so common! Everyone wants extra enjoyable of their lives.
Brian/TJ have been interviewed all around the media. You may also like TJ’s songs “Inside,” “Chicas In My DMs,” and “Pickle In The Fridge.” Maybe there will likely be a tour quickly now that he’s a popstar. Read extra in regards to the characters Brian Jordan Alvarez has created on this article!
Needless to say, everybody in my household spent your entire month of October with “Sitting” caught in our heads.
Sometimes I might begin to sing in different opposites, which lead me to have a suppose as soon as about what the alternative of partying is.
(Stick with me – this publish does have a degree!)
‘Tis The Season For Partying
My definition of “partying” for this publish is generally tied to consuming alcohol, perhaps additionally consuming an excessive amount of meals that doesn’t depart your physique feeling nice. Or in any other case throwing any intentions you needed to respect your physique out the window in trade for residing within the second. Perhaps partying is the alternative of intuitive consuming.
Most usually partying leaves me feeling hungover and/or dangerous. And I’m too outdated to ever really feel dangerous attributable to one thing that was in my management.
Thankfully, across the time I turned 40, one thing clicked in me and I beginning determining that nothing is ever value buying and selling for feeling your greatest. All I actually care about is how I really feel. This led me down my quest to a extra sober curious life with all of the greatest non-alcoholic drinks I’ve found.
But that’s to not say that I don’t nonetheless get tempted to crack open a can of wine on a weeknight or get swept away within the enjoyable of a celebration.
Cozy Is The Opposite Of Partying
When I take into consideration the alternative of partying… it’s cozy.
If partying is a ladies’ journey to an island with bottomless margaritas, staying up till midnight dancing at a membership, then cozy is a wellness journey to a spa the place you spend your days climbing and doing yoga and sipping on smoothies and coconut water.
BOTH choices sound enjoyable, however one among them would depart me feeling terribly and one would depart me feeling superb.
The primary purpose I wish to have alcohol at house is to have a good time one thing. It’s a instructor workday! I obtained a brand new consumer! It’s Friday! And after I really feel this long-time conditioning beginning to create a craving, I’ve been imagining myself doing the alternative: getting cozy, lighting a candle, taking part in spa music, studying e book or watching a present with Thomas on the sofa, going to mattress early.
These vibes flip off cravings to social gathering.
And let’s be sincere: sleep is the last word cozy luxurious. When I’ve a wholesome day with some train, actual meals focus, and no alcohol, I sleep all evening with out waking up. A dream evening! (Pun supposed.)
I share this in case you’ve related cultural conditioning to me and are additionally seeking to put your well being first. Get cozy, relish in self care, and give attention to actions that make you’re feeling good.
This time of yr, it’s good to embrace the comfy anyhow!
