January's resolutions were harder than expected, specifically not being on my phone all the time, especially at work. I found that during lunch time at my day job, I would get so bored that I would pull my phone out, and then I felt kind of stuck to it for the rest of the shift, even when other things I could have done emerged. I didn't find the time to meditate every day (or... ever), but I did pay more attention to my senses. My food tasted better if I just took a minute to enjoy it. I smiled at the rain, or occasional sunbeam, and the sounds of traffic and reminded myself how much I love this city. I paid attention to familiar smells and touched everything I could. I found the latter particularly helpful during rehearsals for the play that I'm in. Touching everything really helped me get to know my set. This is will always be a work in progress for me, especially with the constant upgrade of technologies that surround us in this day and era. Time to move on for now.
