Day 4 Post 4 - Social Media or Rabbit Hole

Yesterday went well and I did a decent job of sticking to the no starch diet. Perigrine found some yogurt covered nuts that were technically still within my diet and let me have a little bit of sweet. That helped a little with the cookie cravings.

I am still doing the scripture study and blogging in the morning. It seems to help with maintaining my peace. I didn't do any EPP last night though. My hands have been achy lately despite wearing my braces at night. I have been doing a lot of typing at work so that might be part of it. The weird thing is that they don't hurt all that much until I am basically resting them. Like driving home last night, my left wrist was just throbbing. The other day, I went and laid down because I wasn't feeling well and my wrists throbbed so much that I got up took some Ibuprofen and put icy hot on them. It was weird and I will talk with my doctor about it when I go in next week.

Instead of stitching, what I have been doing is spending too much time on social media. This is a huge time buster. Last night, I was on it for a half hour after everyone had gone to bed. I had been trying to not get sucked down the rabbit hole of Memes and endless negative revenge stories and other peoples "Karen experiences". but I am right back where I was a few months ago. These things do nothing for my peace of mind. I need to start limiting my social media to things that benefit me and not burn up all of my time and emotional energy. Not sure how that looks though.

How do you avoid rabbit holes?
