This week so far

This week I have been trying a new diet which is meant to detoxify my body and my mind.  I have been eating only rice, eggs, and a multivitamin.  I have been drinking only water and tea. I started doing stretches morning and night, and swimming when my schedule allows.  I have also been working 11 hours 3 days a week and 7.5 hours the other 2 days.  I have been taking bathes at night and reading "Beyond the Limits of Thought" by Graham Priest while bathing.  I have also been trying to remain centered and focused for as much of my work day as I can.  Just before I sleep I get into a meditative state by being mindful of my my breathing.  Every night I have woken up between 2:29 a.m. and 2:34 a.m. because of the interruption of this meditative state.  I will continue this lifestyle for at least the rest of the week as best I can.

I have been feeling much calmer than usual.  Last night I gave good insights into an issue between one of my supervisors and another employee.  I felt a noticeable difference in the thickness of the fat on my midsection, which is very likely due to the low caloric intake I have had this week.  Meditative state is easier for me to attain that it has been in the past weeks, and I feel well rested when I wake up in the middle of the night.  I still sleep the rest of the night though because I like the extra rest.  I have also been able to observe the beauty of the world more easily this week.  I look forward to any more benefits that this change in lifestyle may bring to me, and I won't be disappointed if the benefits stay as they are.  I feel much better physically that I have in a while and more centered than ever in my life.

Peace,
ShaneWolff
