Maybe this time...
Maybe I have the words that I didn't last journal post.
I'm looking for a new 'stop-gap'. Something I can put in place to stop myself from negative thoughts and patterns. I think I saw a good one the other day, but the language was coming out corny and in reverse order to what I'm actually looking for. Still that seed of the idea can be expressed as the following question to myself.
Why do I/You care that I'm/You're 'ill'; Whether psychological or physical? Does it matter? Why does it matter?
What silly patterns of thought does this point at? What training? Pride/Vanity? Indoctrination?
Either way I think it can be undone. It doesn't seem to be a 'natural' thought, so I think I might have been trained/indoctrinated into that way of thinking. That makes it 'high level' enough that I'm rather sure that I can unlearn it. Maybe I can gain some more understanding of the 'ego-concept' while I'm at it.
Now that those thoughts are out of my head back to work. ^_^
