Tonight I decided not to do two things.
First, I decided not to go out drinking. Alcohol, like most objects, is a tool. It is a tool to relieve stress. God has seen fit to give me a body that really does not require much maintenance. However it does require me not to abuse it. In order to prevent abuse I should only really use alcohol when the amount of stress on my system is overwhelming. Otherwise I should leave it alone. I have done so tonight.
Second, I decided not to watch any streaming video tonight. I have found that watching television for hours seems to numb my brain in it's frontal lobes, deadening it somewhat, sort of like a sleeping foot. Since I am a cerebral being by nature this is the equivalent of being temporarily disabled. I don't like it so therefore I didn't do it.
Rather I chose to read tonight. I am reading and learning and feel as though my comprehension skills are increasing and my mental dexterity is being served. I must be careful with how much non-active stimulus (television, movies, even I gather plays to some extent) I introduce into my mind. I am more suited to interactive stimulus (reading, writing, programming, learning) and of these positive activities I can have as much of as I like.
