I’ve simplified my life so much that sometimes I feel like the world is going on without me.
I don’t have any phone calls or emails to answer and no wife or children.
It can get a bit lonely and if you don’t know how to tame your mind you can go down such scary rabbit holes of thought that you end up severely depressed. I’ve learned to calm my thoughts with meditation and daily routines such as cold water swims and exercise. I also like going to the beach each day and getting some sun while listening to music. I do my own air conditioning and heating maintenance since I have all of this free time and know how to do it. It saves me a lot of money but if I didn’t have previous experience in HVAC I could really mess up the system. You don’t need to be an HVAC expert to clean your filters and ducts, all you need is a little confidence and belief that you can do it, along with a little googling, if necessary. I hope that wasn’t a runon sentence I just wrote with three commas. Too many commas scares me, am I crazy, or not? I need a heat pump installation soon and I think that it is a bit beyond my scope so I will call the guys down the street to see if they have time to put in a new one. I tried doing it before and messed up the wiring and almost caused a fire, so now I will let the pros do it.
