Notes From a RESET LIFE

It's been about a month since I moved to Sedona Arizona.  I did not know anyone, have a job or a place to live.  I wanted to see what would happen and so the experiment began.  Currently I am in what I would call the 'silly putty phase'.  The phase where everything  melts into a puddle and stretches in strange directions.  Things feel weird and otherworldly.  I'll feel strange or sad, then go for a hike and feel better again.  I also feel joyful and grateful and amazed, but everything is a bit wobbly  because of all of the change.  Big transitions can be challenging, exciting, and confusing.  Here are a few things that have helped me keep a sense of equilibrium.

​Suggestions for a Reset Life:​

---

1.  Leave home at least twice a day. 
2.  Go for a hike or a walk once a day.
3. Activities like cooking, sewing, reading are  helpful. 
4. Seek out settings with people: libraries, coffee shops etc. 
5.  Do not buy too many cookies.  If cookies are needed, do not also buy ice cream.
6.  Try attending social events, even random ones and just see what happens. 
7.  Pay attention to animals and insects. 
8.  Treat every human encounter as a potential for connection.
