Is a list a bad thing when you're caught in the do-this-next cycle?

1) Sleep eight hours a night. Or at least really close to eight hours. At least most nights. Enough of this after 11 going to bed nonsense.
2) Exercise EVERY DAY. At minimum, six days a week. Five would be an improvement on the current 1-ish.
3) Remember how much improved you felt when you cut out grain, dairy, sugar, legumes, alcohol. Formulate a plan of what to incorporate in small amounts, embrace the plan, and set yourself up for success.
4) Laugh, smile, deep breaths; it will all be fine.
5) SLOW DOWN. Really, dude. Be now, let go of your fierce deathgrip on what happens next.
6) A serious organization, cull, release, downsize extravaganza will be good on many a level. Get on that shit.
7) If a dress makes you happy, then get it in another color. Just don't wear them two days in a row and it will all be good. And if it's not all good with someone else, so be it.
8) So, go order the dress now.

You are getting yourself in a muddled old protocol of next-next-next-next. Say, enough of that, thank you very much. Press pause. Reboot and rejoice, because life is actually pretty amazingly wonderful if you let it be.
