Ten Minute Update

[enmicropedias]

I'm giving myself ten minutes to write here. The main reason I don't post is that I worry it will massively interrupt my work day (because I always feel like writing in here when I'm supposed to be working), so here goes. This week is my official 'reclaim your health' week; I'm visiting three doctors in three days. Yesterday I went to a

We're on the same kick! I need to tell you about this crazy new diet I have, it's all the rage (in my head). It involves lots of crazy rules, whimsical rule-breaking, and really not that much alteration in diet. But it results in pure bliss.

You should read a couple chapters from this book I'm reading called The Secret To Success. You would really like the first 2 chapters. And if you're like me, skip the rest. One point was on the cheesy concept of Harmonic Wealth(tm) which was about being wealthy in 5 areas: health, finances, friends, love, and spirit/energy. I think he's right that you need to be wealthy in all 5 categories and pull a quintuple whammy of wealthiness before you're truly wealthy. And that's what I want. Why aim lower?

I'll definitely check it out. My current configuration is similar, but more compact (maybe), a two-tiered system called the Trifecta. Introverted Tier = Simultaneous goal achievement in Spiritual, Physical, and Mental. Right now that is Zen Koan reading and morning breathe walking accompanied by minimalist music for the spiritual; Push-up/Crunches and (soon) Running; and becoming proficient in basic web-design (CSS and XHTML, with a dash of JavaScript). Then there is the Extroverted Tier: immediate family, business contacts, and friends. Immediate family goals involve engaging T in deeper conversations and Zen Koans, and at least one surprise a week for Michelle; business contacts equals following through on delivering free photos, and finishing website and portfolio so that I can go have meetings with art directors and small businesses, ultimately making 5 new contacts a week; friends involves more posting on lj and making an effort to do stuff with the two friends I've got here (Bjork on the 19th

The Trifecta seems similar to the Star. I also call it the Golden Ticket. I like your introverted and extroverted tiers. Which Zen Koan book are you reading? I would like to join in on the evening reading, if remotely. Three pages of nonsense in the morning is a good ritual for me right now too... I've been doing it for over a year now (not perfectly) but it is a good sleep->wakefulness brain dump purging session.

And I fully endorse you writing more on LJ. I need people like you on here.

And yeah, you should add a finances tier. It's not the most important, but it's about the same as the others... or, when it's healthy, it helps the health of others, and vice versa. At least, that's what I currently think.

Zen Flesh, Zen Bones is the name of the book. It's great. It's all the nonsense you could want.

by the way, Triston is completely addicted to Of Montreal now. Ever since he saw that youtube video of Wraith Pinned to the Mist. He says (without knowledge of your feelings on the subject) that it's the best song ever. I'm glad he likes it; I'm glad I pulled him out of his Green Day phase on to bigger and beautifuller things.

Yes, it is pretty much the best song ever... I'm glad by little zombie bro agrees.
