I found myself singing in the car on my way coop. On a Monday no less. A Monday. And not just the cool songs. I was singing everything. And when the commercial came on, I stopped and took stock. Yep, I was feeling happy and content. Such a good place to be.
So what was different? Well I managed to yoga, shower, and home school my kiddo prior to leaving the house at 9. That’s nothing short of a miracle. Ok not exactly a miracle, more like daylight savings time. 720 became 620.
But I think the deep level of contentment has more to do with me giving up Zevia soda. I haven’t been able to drink diet soda for a long time. I am included in that 20% of the population who’s brain chemistry is drastically effected by diet soda. I get depressed, like clinically depressed, lock me up before I kill myself depress. So I don’t drink diet soda. I used to drink Zevia now and then with no issues but this fall I started to feel different about it and so gave it up for a couple of weeks.
I think the results sing for themselves, because I love rock and roll, put another dime in the jute box baby. LOL
So glad you figured that out. I can’t drink either of those either, but I get weirdly spacy and feel displaced and even oddly dizzy and nauseous if I have very much. It’s like part of me phases to another dimension or something. Not fun. ‘I love rock an’ roll, so come an’ take your time an’ dance with me!’
