Day 8
Observations:
Was up into town nice and early for a Sunday.
Felt pretty centred listening to the sub on my headphones. I was aware I was walking nice and upright, chin held high.. didn't feel forced.
I had a starbucks in a local mall where in an open part where I could see passers-by and they me. I've sat here before... the differences were around a 300 - 400% increase in eye contact from women. Most were older ladies although that's who's normally walking around a mall at 10am on a Sunday morning. Still it was pretty interesting. Also when I saw them looking there was absolutely no inner thoughts about 'are you staring' that would normally flash through my mind in the past. It just didn't come up, which is pretty darn cool imo.
Ended up buying a new pair of boots and winter jacket. Pretty stylish if I do say so myself. Been probably a year since I've bought anything other than underwear / a couple of shirts.
Personal goals for the week. No smoking and no alcohol. Instead, just keep myself busy and present, with productivity and experience. I know this is outside the goals of the sub but perhaps falls under seek the challenge. It will be a challenge especially for the smoking which is most definitely an addiction for me. Alcohol, more of a habit. This will probably most be a challenge if I end up going out next weekend.
Here's to a great week!
