increased sleep<\/div>\n
as in<\/div>\n
i’m not sleeping right now, obviously<\/div>\n
but experimenting with it<\/div>\n
feel physically a bit tired but mentally damn alert<\/div>\n
i think there is universal wisdom in phase-cycling<\/div>\n
of all things<\/div>\n
think about it it’s written in nature<\/div>\n
elipses are far more common than circles<\/div>\n
seasons<\/div>\n
death\/life<\/div>\n
mating seasons, the tides, etc<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
\n
i’m not sure what you mean by that<\/div>\n
do you mean the phases by which we live?<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
\n
and act<\/div>\n
everything<\/div>\n
makes sense to be done in cycled phases<\/div>\n
over extended periods of time<\/div>\n
it doesn’t make sense to do anything consistently<\/div>\n
we’re not designed to be that way, i think<\/div>\n
we’ve conditioned ourselves, largel<\/div>\n
but for the most part, things happen in ebbs and flows<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
\n
hmm…this warrants much thought<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
\n
applied to say, creativity<\/div>\n
makes sense to cycle<\/div>\n
working out<\/div>\n
makes sense to cycle<\/div>\n
pleasure<\/div>\n
makes sense to cycle<\/div>\n
consistent anything makes you not get the most out of it<\/div>\n
in a way we thrive on a sense of acceleration and momentum<\/div>\n
i don’t know whether it’s universal, or mostly derived from seasonal adaptations that are unique to earth<\/div>\n
i suppose women are a bit more intuitively in tune with this than us but i’m pretty sure it still applies<\/div>\n
economic growth happens in cycles<\/div>\n
bodybuilders bulk and cut in cycles<\/div>\n
mcdonalds marketing ploys come and go in cycles<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
\n
interesting point of view<\/div>\n
i sense you might have been considering this for awhile<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
\n
observation rather than pov<\/div>\n
i suppose i must have been even if i dont’ realise it lol<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
\n
mmm.<\/div>\n
im just rolling this over in my head right now<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
\n
not hard to do<\/div>\n
fashion happens in cycles<\/div>\n
trends, memes, music ideas, bands<\/div>\n
i’m sure there is something we can all learn and apply from the general state of nature that is rise and fall, crest and trough<\/div>\n
makes more sense to learn from it and go with the flow and adapt it to our lives than to resist it<\/div>\n
successful people know this<\/div>\n
aka blizzard<\/div>\n
whether they realise they know it or not, lol<\/div>\n
musicians intuitively know this in the dynamics of their performance<\/div>\n
so do storytellers, moviemakers<\/div>\n
ok storytellers sums up a lot<\/div>\n
and there is always much to be learnt from storytelling because so much of the human condition is directly intertwined with narrative<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
