I bought a new rug
It feels seriously good under my feet (and my body; I admit I lay down on it at times to fully engage in it’s bliss)
I’ve never had a rug generate this much pleasure (physically and visually)
Laying on it and sitting on it feels great, but there is also the nice side effect of distracting me from my computer/work/etc
Realisation: I need to allow more physical (and non-conventional) things into my life to provide both pleasure and distraction
Advice: Not only give into things that bring you joy and pleasure (walking, boating, hiking, singing, teaching, laughing, etc), but make time (lots of time) for them since you’ll likely walk away (or get off them) with a new energy, drive, and motivation
