The Writing Addiction

I could call it the gambling addiction, the drinking addiction, the consumer addiction, the work addiction, the eating addiction….

I post or publish and I usually get a hit, a reward, a self esteem fix, a survival hack.

Lots of our evolution produced these ways, habits or degrees of desire/impulse to keep us alive. It is all through the animal kingdom and nature.

I must admit there is a bigger need for me to live.

So I like to write to be aware of its pitfalls and learn and practice to use it as a tool to live a better way.

It is ironic that I may learn to live better by being a better writer.

A good writer gives the reader something they need at a reasonable price.

So, I am asking you to take 3 minutes to read and think and act on what you now know.

Optimal mouth Micro Biome

The mouth is the gateway to micro Biome and maintaining

good health has all the good habits I can muster.

Live Selfishly

What books do you want to read?

Like Ayn Rand Says

There is a moment when contemplating will produce unexpected outcomes.

Like finding a birthday present for someone that seems to have everything.

Like reading the same book as my sister and establishing a dialogue.

Like discovering more from reading a book than writing about one.

I recommend the one above.

What things give you energy?

An inspirational book, movie, or song.

A person, place or thing.

A good workout, meal, and sleep.

A good life,

A good lifestyle,

A good way to be,

AI On Bing Vs. Me: Stoicism

AI: That’s a good question. I think it depends on how you define a lifestyle and something more. For some people, Stoicism is just a set of tools and techniques that they use to cope with life’s challenges and improve their well-being. For others, Stoicism is a way of life that shapes their values, beliefs, and actions. For some, Stoicism is even a spiritual path that connects them with the divine reason or logos that governs the universe.

What do you think? How do you see Stoicism in your life?

Me: It is about Cicero, On Living and Dying Well. I referred to a big piece of it in my last blog entry on Michael’s Space. “Grab Hold Of Yourself And Stop Being Afraid Of Your Freedom”. My blog will continue to have elements in future blog posts. But first, do no harm to myself and others. And remember this is about being and doing.

Mike Idea For A Vid

What about a drama/documentary to stir your imagination on challenging topics?

I have a sincere interest in history, physics and energy use and application in society today.

My pic is a little outside mainstream but will attract some people.

Email Chainmail Of Sorts

My challenge to you is to read this blog which states for all those who purport to do good in this world to do the following.

1. Write an email to somebody enclosing a positive message.

2. Tell them to write another (positive) email to somebody else with the instruction to do the same.

Get it, got it, good!

Keep Calm and Be Kind

It is a lot easier to imagine positive feeling….

I imagine myself to be angry with myself and others.

But I imagine that I am happy, safe and loving or compassionate when I may feel angry with myself or others.

Being mindful of my state of mind is a practice of self-awareness.

I am literally trying to do no harm to myself or others.

Sometimes I find a smile working when I try to enhance my state of mind.

I try to do my best.

It helps me to think and practice a mindfulness exercise in being kind to myself.

This translates to doing my best and doing no harm to myself and others.

It is better than acting on some of my more negative states of mind.
