Alright folks, today’s practice kicked off totally differently than planned. Woke up feeling blah, like the monkey horoscope kinda warned. Mine said “minor obstacles” and man, they weren’t wrong. First thing? Spilled coffee right on my keyboard trying to check a notification. Great start.
Decided Enough Was Enough
Grabbed my phone, pulled up the monkey horoscope page again. Skipped the usual fluff – straight jumped to the “boost luck simple methods” part. Figured it was worth a shot, couldn’t make the day worse.
Started super simple, just like it said:
- Cleaned my workspace: Noticed leftover snack wrappers under the monitor, crumbs everywhere. Took five minutes, just dumped everything unnecessary into the trash bin. Wiped down the desk too.
- Put on music: Horoscope said “positive vibes attract luck”. Whatever. Flipped on that cheesy pop playlist I secretly like. Volume low though.
- Drank water from a “lucky” cup: Sounds dumb, I know. Used that chipped red mug my kid painted years ago. It’s ugly, but hey – drank a full glass while thinking “good things”. Felt ridiculous.
The “Flow” Thing Actually Happened
Weirdly enough, after that… maybe placebo? Dunno. But:
- The browser crash I was dreading trying to fix? Worked after the second restart. Usually takes five.
- Got an email reply back way faster than expected about something I’d been chasing. No vague “we’ll look into it” crap.
- Even my colleague stopped being grumpy around lunchtime. Shared his fries. Small win.
Final Takeaway
Look, I ain’t saying it’s magic. But forcing myself to do the silly things – the cleaning, the small happy tunes, focusing on basics like drinking water – kinda jolted my brain out of the rut. Monkey horoscope or not, creating a less chaotic space physically and mentally? That somehow made little annoyances feel… smaller. Luckier? Maybe just less annoying. Either way, felt better by dinner. Worth the shot if your day’s starting off messy.
