intuition

Our subconscious mind takes and process information 500,000 faster than our conscious mind.

And more than that, only 0.01% of all brain activity is conscious

Woah is right

So really, when it comes down to it, your subconscious mind actually has a lot more data and resources to make a an informed (read: rational) decision.

First -- intuition isn't like a light switch!

You can't just turn it on and expect it to light up your whole life immediately. Intuition is more like stoking a fire. It takes some time and energy to build up those flames, but then, that light will keep burning brightly.

Second, intuition isn't universal.

Let's throw back to the 4 Pillars of Health (we know you remember those, right?). You might be a superhero when it comes to your intuitive eating, but your eating intuition is different than your intuition for the other pillars, so that doesn't mean you'll be a very intuitive sleeper, or an intuitive exerciser. You've got to stoke the fire in each area of your life to get those lights burning.

soul food list

#SoulFoodList When I need love, affection, or adoration, I get this from: Helping other people and seeing them shine When I need attention or to feel special, I like: Being told I've done a great job. When I need peace or serenity, I'm in my happy place: drifting off to sleep on the porch of a hiking hut in the wilderness, listening to the dusk bird call or a babbling stream. When I need happiness or excitement, I get off on: Smashing out a PB deadlift or an impossible hiking day When I need thrill, adventure, pleasure, I like: driving fast but in control (and legally!) on a twisty road. When I need any or all the feels (or a good cry), I can: Listen to dire straits or the eurovision fire saga soundtrack. But I don't so much do feels.

Ritalin day one

I kinda like this Ritalin stuff. Toby says I got the fast release, not the slow release version because my doctor thinks I'm a responsible adult. Immediate release is 3-4 hrs and slow release is 8-12.  It feels like when I stop thinking, there is no monologue that keeps distracting me from stuff. Also I feel like I can feel the coffee hitting me harder. But it's hard to tell given I've just got back from Singapore - I feel refreshed and reset anyway, plus I've just changed 5 time zones. I don't need my europop or prog house mix in my head to focus I feel like the energiser bunny. I'm walking really fast. I feel a bit jittery. And I start a task and just ... do the task. I managed to have just one lunch at TJ Katsu, and just leave when I finished eating. So there's that! (Normally I stay on my phone, and then order a second lunch primarily to avoid work and stay on my phone for longer).  The day has passed in a blur! I don't know if I was more productive,...

a kilo up

Back from 87.9kg to 89kg in two days. I got this. I know what's happening and I can trust the process. In a fairly good mood this morning. I've got urgent dramatic tasks to do this morning so that should keep me focussed. I've got a couple of life admin things to knock off at lunch time. And the weekend will be busy! Keep focussed, keep productive.
