DIET, WALK AND SLEEP

//////////////////Lack of sleep increases the stimulus to consume more food and increases appetite–regulating hormones. The authors' recently published research found that total sleep time and quality of sleep predicted the loss of fat in people enrolled in a weight loss program.



//////////////////////////////////Chinese herbal formula FAHF-2 has been shown to suppress anaphylaxis from single and multiple food allergies in mice, and early human studies have shown that it is well tolerated.



//////////////////////////DREAMY DETACHMENT INSIDE HEAD


//////////////////////////Eastwood and colleagues define boredom as "an aversive state of wanting, but being unable, to engage in satisfying activity," which arises from failures in one of the brain's attention networks.

Specifically, we're bored when:
We have difficulty paying attention to the internal information (e.g., thoughts or feelings) or external information (e.g., environmental stimuli) required for participating in satisfying activity
We're aware of the fact that we're having difficulty paying attention
We believe that the environment is responsible for our aversive state (e.g., "this task is boring," "there is nothing to do").


/////////////////////////////Boredom is, in the Darwinian sense, an adaptive emotion. Its purpose, that is, may be designed to help one flourish.



//////////////////////////////TOOHEY......... simple boredom, which occurs regularly and doesn’t require that you be able to name it, and existential boredom, a grab-bag condition that is “neither an emotion, nor a mood, nor a feeling” but, rather, “an impressive intellectual formulation” that has much in common with depression and is highly self-aware, something Toohey calls the most self-reflective of conditions



///////////////////////////Boredom is an emotion usually associated with a nourished body: like satiety, it is not normally for the starving.



///////////////////////////////As fast as the new is experienced…it is liable to become boring. The new becomes a variant of the infinite. It recedes infinitely.



///////////////////////////////Infinity is of course temporal as well as spatial. Time has a very interesting relationship with boredom and its representations. We have all experienced the sluggishness of time when we have been confined in boring situations. According to one of the late Clement Freud’s famous witticisms, ‘if you resolve to give up smoking, drinking and loving you don’t actually live longer, it just seems longer.’



//////////////////////////boredom appears to be the polar opposite of what Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi has famously termed flow — a state of intense focus you enter whilst absorbed in an enthralling task, when you lose track of time.



///////////////////////////////FUC=FACING UNCERTAINTY
Ask “what’s the worst-case scenario”? If you’re exposing yourself, getting out of your comfortable environment, leaving behind security … it can be scary, but when you think about what is the worst thing that is likely to happen, usually it’s not that bad. If you lost all your possessions today in a disaster, how bad would that be? How would you cope? What opportunities would there be? What new things could you invent from this blank slate?

 We have to respect everyone’s right to hold irrational beliefs, but we do not have to respect the irrational beliefs themselves



//////////////////////////////////repeat Einstein's quote:

"Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like an hour. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute. That's relativity."
