Originally posted by Hitchhiker's Guide to... View PostSucking it to the body with a daily regime of Smoothies and B12 supplements for the last few days, as was getting concerned that the heat was sweating out too many good things. Bet the body doesn't know what's hit it, but after just the few days have a tonne more energy.
Didn't realise making your own smoothies could work out so cheap - picked up a cheap-ass blender for €10 and then about five days worth of fruit costs €5 (can't imagine it'd be that much more expensive anywhere else really). Just sticking to strawberry, orange and banana smoothies for this week, but they taste amazing. Works out as an excellent breakfast or snack. Five-a-day ftw!
It'd be nice if that plan would work for me but I doubt it. :-/

Moment of peacefulll bliss long passed. Get it in with middle set last 150 for the top ten stack of the 60k on Stars-up against a middler,bare middler. And I know,KNOW,as in genuinly fucking KNOW I will never fade that ten. Not in this life,thats just poker for me.
Im not sure why poker hates me,like actually LOATHES me. I certainly play badly a good bit of the time but the demented beats (that I actually can feel are coming,yeah like the old fish in yout live game who says "lol I could feel it") I actually do,they just never end.
Poker I hate you in equal measure,just so you know. You cnut.

Im listening to that video there OPR and I think my idea of positive thinking is different to theirs. They seem to say that getting cancer / losing your job is a good thing as it will make you a better person etc.
My idea would be well I'll grit my teeth and get through this. It wont be end game for me etc ect - if that makes sense?

by the way this is my favourite Apres match (me being a GAA head and all)

Why not set yourself a challenge? Monitor your thoughts over the weekend. Any time you feel you are thinking negatively, completely *ignore* that train of thought. Don't try to refute it, just ignore it.
Instead, think about something you like, or are looking forward to, or whatever works. This is actually quite difficult in practise, requiring a lot of dicipline, but stick with it and note the cumulative effect on your mood.
Start each day with 30 minutes of *really* actively thinking positively and then follow it through during the day.
See if you still feel the same way on monday.
This is an interesting project for anyone. Don't expect to get it perfect. The effects are subtle at first, but very real.
Good luck & have a good weekend.Last edited by The Tourist; 17-06-10, 23:33.
