If you happen to spend any time on Instagram, you might need heard Brian Jordan Alvarez’s tune “Sitting” (<– that’s a hyperlink to Apple Music to pay attention!).

“Sitting” is a catchy tune with a quite simple message sung by Brian’s character TJ Mack (pictured under). The tune went viral after a bunch of various musical artists began making covers of the tune. My very favourite cowl is the musical theater audition! I believe the message of “you deserve to sit down” is a secondary motive the tune is so standard! Everybody wants extra enjoyable of their lives.

You may additionally like TJ’s songs “Inside,” “Chicas In My DMs,” and “Pickle In The Fridge.” Perhaps there might be a tour quickly now that he’s a popstar.

Generally I’d begin to sing in different opposites, which lead me to have a suppose as soon as about what the alternative of partying is. 

(Persist with me – this put up does have some extent!) 

‘Tis The Season For Partying

My definition of “partying” for this put up is usually tied to consuming alcohol, perhaps additionally consuming an excessive amount of meals that doesn’t depart your physique feeling nice. Or in any other case throwing any intentions you needed to respect your physique out the window in trade for residing within the second. Maybe partying is the alternative of intuitive consuming.

Most frequently partying leaves me feeling hungover and/or dangerous. And I’m too previous to ever really feel dangerous as a result of one thing that was in my management.

Fortunately, across the time I turned 40, one thing clicked in me and I beginning determining that nothing is ever price buying and selling for feeling your finest. All I actually care about is how I really feel. This led me down my quest to a extra sober curious life with all of the finest non-alcoholic drinks I’ve found. 

However that’s to not say that I don’t nonetheless get tempted to crack open a can of wine on a weeknight or get swept away within the enjoyable of a celebration. 

Cozy Is The Reverse Of Partying

Once I take into consideration the alternative of partying… it’s cozy. 

If partying is a women’ journey to an island with bottomless margaritas, staying up till midnight dancing at a membership, then cozy is a wellness journey to a spa the place you spend your days mountain climbing and doing yoga and sipping on smoothies and coconut water. 

BOTH choices sound enjoyable, however considered one of them would go away me feeling terribly and one would go away me feeling superb. 

The primary motive I wish to have alcohol at house is to rejoice one thing. It’s a trainer workday! I received a brand new consumer! It’s Friday! And after I really feel this long-time conditioning beginning to create a craving, I’ve been imagining myself doing the alternative: getting cozy, lighting a candle, taking part in spa music, studying a very good guide or watching a present with Thomas on the sofa, going to mattress early.

These vibes flip off cravings to occasion.

And let’s be trustworthy: sleep is the final word cozy luxurious. When I’ve a wholesome day with some train, actual meals focus, and no alcohol, I sleep all evening with out waking up. A dream evening! (Pun meant.) 

I share this in case you’ve comparable cultural conditioning to me and are additionally trying to put your well being first. Get cozy, relish in self care, and give attention to actions that make you are feeling good. 

This time of yr, it’s good to embrace the comfortable anyhow!
