IN regards to lecture that we had in 2-22-2012, I think that this being mindful (meditating, praying, etc) is great preparation for formulating a solution, looking for inspiration, and any activity that involves any thought process (which is practically 99% of everything). You see, I view the brain as a muscle. Like all muscles it experiences fatigue when you use it to it's limits. After a rest, however, it comes back in a much better state, brimming with great ideas and the like.
Abner, what specifically impressed you about this book?
ReplyDeleteI just borrowed the book from the library, I'm honestly trying to get around reading it.
DeleteThe excerpt, after following it, made me realize that I was eating mostly as a form of habit, a form of boredom, and a form of status symbol for myself.
I'm learning about myself in such a different angle it's quite amazing.
Feeding the Hungry Heart is one of her early works, which I recommend over Women, Food... Even as an atheist, I found she addressed the ridiculous need for the Almighty Father Figure so well, to the point where I thought she was an atheist, too.
ReplyDeleteI don't mean to patronize you, Abner, but as a 58 year old woman, learning about yourself first is the key to learning everything else, imo.
