I claim to be roughly aware of my brain activity and to react according to it, with zero evidence to support that.

Though, there is neuro feedback training and it shows that you can learn to influence your brainwaves and change if areas get activated given that you are aware of it (by the technology, like PET scans and EEGs).

At least you're honest about it.

Kind of. I was out on an island, and it started to rain. There is a shelter, but since the rain didn't seem to stop I had to walk over a kilometer through it when it was bucketing down  :thumbdn:

After a meltdown in the morning, I still managed to make the rest of the day a good day, yesterday.

I knew when things became overwhelming and instead of melting down and freaking out, I just took a break.

And now my optimism and curiosity are returning...  :green:

I got through my total inertia yesterday afternoon. After doing nothing all morning, I clipped hedges till I ran out of space to keep the foliage, did two washings, and made a good meal too. Everything, apart from a tiny morsel of potato got devoured.

  I made inquiries about a new career path, and have gotten some information and a new contact to consult.  8)

  Some of my back teeth have huge fillings and weak enamel and are in need of crowns.
  Today I started with the one most in need, a molar that had a root canal in 2011.  I spent 2.5 hours at the dentist,
  having the tooth ground down (almost painless, since the nerve is gone) and being fitted with a temporary crown
  (stuck on with permanent adhesive) till the permanent crown comes back from the lab in about 3 weeks.  :thumbup:

If push comes to shove, you can always get rid of all your teeth and purchase a nice pair of dentures. :P

I had a real big disappointment with someone.  So I did the suggested thing about letting them go.  I imagined them as a little, tiny bunny in my hands.  I knelt down to let the bunny go. 

As it hopped away I realized I was going about this all wrong. I didn't need to let her go.  I needed to walk away from the situation.  So I stood up, turned my back and walked away.

I accepted that the problem was with me, not them (true).  I had built up unreasonable expectations.  I think I grew up just a wee bit more with this exercise.

My brain is both uninhibited and uninhabited.

I'm still sane enough to realize that I'm crazy.

Sometimes when I mentally validate my sanity, I wonder if I have actually gone so deeply insane that I think it's perfectly okay.
