Musings on Decisions

Warning: Slightly sappy/insane/possibly optimistic post. I'd skip it if I were you. Go answer my zombie apocalypse question instead.

Sometimes the wackos at my job get to me, and I have to try their crazy shit. Today's adventure is about intuition. Basically the exercise goes like this: you really focus on a bad decision you've made in your life. It has to be something you thought was a good decision but turned out to be a bad decision. You try to think of the exact moment you made that decision, and you really focus on that. Then there is a series of questions this guy asks you about whatever images come to your mind. For example, he asks about the appearance of the scenes, the colors, whether you're part of the scenes or not, what it sounds like, if there's any taste, and what physical sensations you have. I think they're supposed to be what you're feeling right now, not necessarily what you felt when you made the decision.

Then you do the same thing with a time you made a really good decision that turned out to be a really good decision. You answer all the same questions. Ideally, someone else is doing this with you and writing down your answers, but you can write them yourself as you go. The important thing is not to analyze as you go. What you're seeing or feeling is just that. You're not looking for meaning.

So that's why I never wear that eyeliner

I found this really pretty eyeliner today and couldn't figure out why I never wear it. Now I remember.


Because it doesn't stay in place long enough to finish both eyes, and I look like I have two very pretty-colored black eyes. And the camera is being very generous with me here. In real life I looked like a sad clown.
