#57 DECKED OUT TO STAY IN

I figured it out. 

I figured it out for the better. 

I had something figured out, and then I figured it out even more. 

If I am having a bad day and feeling off, not myself, I go for a ride. 

I mean, I ride every day, but in this situation, I leave now. 

The ‘TJ’ that leaves the house is not the ‘TJ’ that returns. 

‘TJ’ always comes home ‘better.’ 

Whatever it is. 

Whatever it was. 

Gone. 

I am back. 

But I have added something to my ‘medication.’ 

I added something that has now become ‘the norm.’ 

Kind of a ‘one, two punch.’ 

After I return home, after my shower, I dress up. 

I put on nice clothes. 

I am not talking a shirt and tie. 

Just a serious Polo, a great pair of shorts, a belt, and a nice pair of socks. 

I could go out to any place in the city, and they would open the door for me. 

But I am not going anywhere, I am staying in. 

I do it for myself. 

I am blown away by what dressing up does to me. 

Putting on nice clothes. 

It changes everything. 

I spend a little time looking at my choices. 

I choose. 

I put it on. 

My posture changes. 

I move faster. 

I get everything done, and more. 

I look for more to do. 

Nobody is going to see me. 

Just me, that is all. 

I am not going out. 

I mean, I may venture to the ‘Dep’ for some ice cream. 

But that is it. 

It does something for me. 

It gives me energy. 

It makes me feel good. 

I am comfortably confident. 

I do not want to see anyone. 

It is just for me. 

I have a better night. 

I started doing this a while ago. 

I have never looked back. 

It does change you. 

You will look forward to it. 

Try it. 

I promise, once you start, you will continue. 

After showering choices,

‘Decked Out to Stay In’

‘Wear it OUT’ 

…but in this case, ‘Wear it IN’
