I'M TRYING TO "JUST SAY NO" TO AI
- I will protect private and sensitive information.
- I will verify factual claims before repeating them.
- I will not misrepresent machine output as human expertise or lived experience.
- I will use tools to support people, not to replace care, judgement, or accountability.
- I will keep human craft at the centre where voice, trust, and meaning matter.

rssFinally finished the lawn!
Forgot to log my exercise yesterday. Oops!
What is keeping me from Spanish practice? It's silly!
Feeling under-motivated to write code in my spare time. I wonder where that is coming from? Maybe the zeitgeist is against me?
Lost 2lbs, gained 0.2% muscle mass, and lost 0.4% body fat. Yay!
Gentle yoga felt good.. hoping I can get back to more sun salutations soon
Lawn mowing good 😊
Lovely morning walk around the neighborhood!
Morning practice good. Feeling more peaceful! Reintroduced the activity not as an obligation but more as a curiosity. How long can I keep that mindset about this?
Gained 0.4 lbs but also increased muscle mass percentage by 0.8% and lowered body fat percentage by 1.1%
I have taken the "Just Say No" to AI pledge.
more inside...re: https://www.calmabiding.me/post/2026-05-05-tmfhonlkt1bngotucojzk -- Was shocked that my scores around stress went down so much from the beginning to the end of my NSR training!

I had hoped they fully removed their religious roots, but I guess not. Perhaps if I get good success with the technique in isolation I might try and make my own mind-body training program based on virtue and daily physical activity in general.

Continuing with my NSR training. Having a lovely time with my husband!!
First session of NSR — lovely! Well worth the $25 fee. I want to keep doing it!
