What makes anyone think they are special? How do we keep this fire of "specialness" lit over the course of a lifetime when life hands us many disappointments, disappointments that point to our not-so-unique unspecialness?
It's easy to drift into a zone where all is going right, where our specialness is without question. Those moments, days, months, nay, dare I say years can be exhilarating.
I've been in that zone, during work and play. It's nice. I remember once during a sporting game being in the zone. The ball moved in slow motion. I couldn't miss. My shots were perfect. It's a high I've been chasing ever since.
Our specialness, like the zone, seems to be correlated with a state of mind. Can we will ourselves to being special? Need we connect with the uber special ONE to feel special via osmosis? Or is specialness just another trick for survival, where we are there sometimes, not there other times, and in between we're paying the bills, taking out the trash, and repeating instructions to the kids?

Theta
I discovered the theta brain waves today.
Reaching a theta state allows you to command your subconscious.
In the theta state, I can access the entirety of universal knowledge and know that my requests will be granted.
In the theta, I am beyond quantum laws.
I feel good now. right now.

When it's time to pay the piper
When it's time to pay the piper, you have to choose which piper you want to listen to.
I'm middle aged with a young family.
Already had a sarcoma.
BMI is 27, doctor wants it to be 23-24.
Good heart, cholesterol, BP, etc.
Got depression and take meds.
Beginning to forget things. On maternal side, 3 died from Alzheimer's. Don't think that doesn't occupy my mind.
So, which piper will play for me?
Defeatist? or Optimist?
It's my choice. How do I conduct this midlife dance?
Exercise and diet are the key. And this will be my record.
5.10 1/2
208 lbs
I want to try a ketonic diet for memory. Some have said Alzheimer's is diabetes of the brain. It's a function of glucose intolerance, but doesn't necessarily play out as diabetes of the body.
The ketonic diet reduces carb intake to less than 100 per day. The body, for energy, begins to chew it's own fat.
There is nausea, headaches, etc. But there is health afterwards.
I once ate only raw foods for 21 days and felt great and remember thinking how sharp my memory was. I bet I was close to ketosis, but didn't know about it then.
I also began seeing a shrink to help me keep things in check.
He's a talking shrink, and MD, the real Freudian type. Should be an experience.
Wish me luck.
Good luck.
