Today was productive and social but I also worry if it made me lose track of my little routine. I was able to adapt and get happy in any situation I was in, whether I was trying to work at my desk or drinking downtown or watching a play. But I can't forget about my daily tasks especially keeping track of my three previous memories from each day. But on the plus side I need to point out how wonderful today was in realizing how many people are excited to work with me and in general how many people I have on my side. I mentioned in my very first intro post that film is my passion but something I haven't pursued as diligently as I should. I put a message out there to my production company that I'm ready to make films and everyone jumped on board. I'm not saying put all your most personal ideas out there all at once but let yourself and your dreams be seen and sometimes you'll be surprised who jumps on board. I went to go see two of my best friends in a play and that was weird because while they were both awesome I always have a hard time watching live theater because I get jealous of the performers and I want to be the one on stage. Its really a pretty stupid insecurity. But I'll get over that.
I had some drinks later that night with my best friend Mike. Me and him riff on everything and are constantly coming up with ridiculous shit that we intend to film and never do. The downside is me and Mike have a lot of the same anxieties, where we have this mentality that we HAVE to be successful by a specific date or we'll be counted out. Its almost like we enable each other with all our worries about getting shit done. But tonight I tried sharing some of my new-found inner peace and I think the two of us walked away more optimistic than usual.
Exercise: My pushups and crunches were executed to The Wolf of Wall Street soundtrack. Its really a crazy and eclectic selection of music. Its not uncommon for me to take time to process a film, but I've rarely had an entire soundtrack on my mind this long.
Meditation: I think not using the music is the way to go (though that will probably change tomorrow) I've gotten in this bad habit of opening my eyes and dropping the meditation in spurts as soon as I get distracted I need to work on that.
Random act of Kindness: I went to see my friend's play and despite my previously mentioned insecurities I was so happy to see my friend do what he does best.
3 memories: 1) I saw a film called Inside Llewellyn Davis, the new Coen Brothers film. 2) When I was at the children's book store I read a book that re assured the reader that they were special and they were loved. And that the polar bears danced all night the day they were born. 3) I drank golden monkey, one of the greatest beers that will knock you on your ass.
