Burnouts for the win
Man, soreness is a feeling that is horrible and great at the same time. I wonder if people are like muscles, if they have to tear apart before they can build and become stronger, and then if they need resistance to tone themselves.
Thinking and thinking and eventually head explodes
I was thinking about how much i think about, not how often or how much i think about one thing, just how many thoughts go through my head and have been through my head. Then i think about how i have thought archetypes, which dictates what thoughts i am thinking, then i try and think of what i think about to determine what archetype i manifest and why. Why, How, When, Where, Who-ha, blah, blah, hmm, blah, hmm...
For instance i was thinking about how all different activities we perform require a different rhythm of how we breath and move and think, that if you tune your body the rhythm will become like a song of all the things your body is doing and make better and better music the more you practice. Maybe not better, just more expressive and fulfilling.

Oh Gods
Why is this happening to me?
All I wanted was new life for my son to grow up free
And now you took the only thing that meant anything to me
I'll never fly again, I'll hang up my wings
Thrice is slowly becoming my favorite band

All that matters
I've found that all that matters is within yourself. It saddens me that so many people succumb to these societal pressures that are meaningless, and they know they are meaningless but the get sucked in. Who cares what you do with your life, if love and truth guide you everywhere you will always be rewarded with love and truth.

The basic thought meditation
Something beneficial to me that i would like to share.
Write down your thoughts for five to ten minutes, let it flow and do not censor yourself. Just write what you can retain long enough to write down.
Read it and identify any thought or idea which "makes something wrong". Basically identify an idea that indicates you are thinking something is "not okay", "bad", or "wrong".
Then identify the positive opposites for each idea identified. For instance if "So and so makes me mad" is the identified "wrong" the positive opposite would be "It is okay for me to think that so and so makes me mad"
After this develop a gratitude context for each idea. Staying with the example: "I am grateful that so and so is making me mad because it gives me the opportunity to face and be responsible for my emotions."
Some helpful ideas about this practice:
Developing a context for gratitude through logic is a mental exercise. Do it mechanically. It is not necessary to believe what you write or to actually experience feelings of gratitude.
Look for value in the situation you are making wrong. When you look deep, you will always find value.
Pretend that you ordered whatever you make wrong to be exactly as it is, and identify why you want it that way.
At the very least you can always be grateful for the ability to feel. Exaggerate the feeling to defend yourself against whatever you are making wrong.
Notice that just because you make something bad or wrong, it is not that infinitely. You may achieve gratitude simply because it is as good as it is.
Don't compare what you are making wrong to anything else but itself.
Assume that whatever you are making wrong is a direct reflection of something you are making wrong about yourself. You could be grateful for noticing a way in which you make yourself wrong. As an added benefit, this awareness may lead you to stop.
Be loving, gentle and patient with yourself. Give all of yourself unconditional love. Extend that to all aspects of what you experience.
If I follow this meditation i will grow and heal and better understand myself. I sincerely hope that anyone who reads this takes something from it.
