The deleting thing, for the good of forests staying forests and meadows staying meadows, not having to expand or build more server farms to store all that stuff i have on the Internet.
I am stuck at 400 emails in my inbox, trying hard almost daily to keep it under 400. This week i will make a start looking at those 400, opening them, i am sure i can delete most of them, it is just i kept them on the first round of deleting.
Daily having to delete, i will also figure out how nothing can enter my promotion and spam box in the first place. Does anyone know how to do that?
For mindful eating that i started a week or two ago after reading a book by Geneen Roth. I am actually doing surprisingly well ( my own standards are not very high, i am a permissioner (Geneen's word) after all. My coffee is sitting here beside me, but i do hardly ever anymore take a mindless sip, and if i do i seem to notice. I eat much slower now, always, my heartrate stays at 84 (which is low for me, doctors never suggested why it was high, the specialist, after many tests, only said that all was fine.)
I also do stare my craving into the face, i still have it, mainly for crunchy salty things ( you might know the kind:) when i stare it in the face, it mostly blows over.
Yesterday we bought an ice cream and one can of coke to share. We never finished the coke, i just have no interest. And with all left overs; always, my whole life, i would be the one to lick the pot clean. I will still not throw anything out, but something leftover can wait now for a day or so.
I sometimes do the meditations she suggested, the exploring the feeling. I did encounter an awful one that i do remember having as a child. scissors in my throat, isn't that horrible? All i can think is that it is a past life thing, not that i per say (how do you spell that again?) believe in that, but i am sure there is more going on that way then i know. but for sure i do not come out by a childhood memory. fortunately so.
What is still very hard is not doing other things when i eat. It is hard both ways; i do live with another person, and we talk during meals (a good thing yes?) but also he likes the radio on. But even on my own i am used to multi task when it comes to eating.

Where do you get the connection between what we have in our inbox and environmental threats? I can only find data on an impact from online streaming and ads.
Anyway, I clean out the inbox daily, never look at spam. Bad luck if anything in there is of value. Have yet to find a way to not receive any. But I do know it depends on what you search for and what you purchase online, the wild world of algorithms.
My work inbox is picture book clean thanks to the IT team of my employer, everything there is how it should be. I wish it could be like that in my private one.
Just remembered when I had my last sip of coke, not that it was ever a regular drink in my childhood or since, it was on a very hot day in the summer of 2004, after cycling all day around an island in the Danish part of the Baltic Sea. My 12 yr old daughter looked on in disgust but I needed a sugar fix. Every Danish person on the ferry that evening was reading "Smilla's Sense of Snow" and little did I know that I would read this book in one go over night a short time later. It's a great book.

It was of course the summer of 1994. Time flies!
Thanks Sabine, i will look for that book, of course i want to read it. At the moment i am actually reading the Swedish books from Stieg Larson.
I found this,https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/how-is-the-data-of-emails-stored-on-servers-what-is-their-capacity-and-where-are-they-located/articleshow/5331800.cms but to me it is just logic, if i can pull up my email everywhere in the world i want, it does come from somewhere.
and same same my contribution might be miniscule or less:) but if we all keep it clean like you say, that frees up a lot.
haha i also remember some of the cokes i drank the last.. 20 years. It must be the shock of it that makes us remember:)
I have 7200 emails in my inbox. Once in a while I do bulk deletes. If you are using gmail there's no real downside other than it complicates finding those you really want. Lately I've seen more spam entering my inbox. I look at my spam folder every once in a while to see if a Nigerian King is sending me money rather than them asking for money.
Well done cleaning your inbox regularly.
HI Art, good to 'see' you again. It sounds like it is time to do a bulk delete again:) and thanks, i will scan through my spam next time before i delete them, to look for a Nigerian King.
Yes Thanks Bless, i am pretty proud of myself:)
My inbox could use a good cleaning out, as well as my Word files. Maybe the next rainy day, I will make some progress on that.
