The Wayback Machine: The Shrinking Man Project: Episode 14 – The Hijack Highway
For Monday of this week, we're going to fire up the Wayback Machine again and point it back to March 25th of 2011 and another episode of The Shrinking Man Project! This episode marked a return to Philosophy after a long hiatus. It also marked a return to me doing episodes on the fly without writing a script out ahead of time, so the episode is a bit on the long side, and does kind of ramble a bit.
This episode has a particularly useful bit of Philosophy, talking about how we create conditioned responses and find ourselves reacting instead of reasoning, and what we can do to regain control and keep from being hijacked. If you can gain some control over that part of your mind that is commonly called the "lizard brain", you gain much more control of your life and how you present yourself. It is a simple idea, but it can help improve your life in untold ways.

Weigh in
Week in review
My food has been pretty good. I did splurge a bit in the latter part of the week. Might affect the weigh in. Still on plan!
All exercises done! And got four runs toward my goal of being consistently under 16.5 minutes per mile.
Not getting enough sleep due to adjusting to a new schedule.
Seem to be working all the time. Need more relaxation in my schedule.
Getting ready for Balticon, Galley Table Live, and an unofficial Shrinking Man Project Live.
Let me know if you will be at Balticon 45 and are interested in being part of The Shrinking Man Project Live.
Taxes filed.
Money is tight and we are struggling.
Not going to make the Steampunk World's Fair this year.

Lessons learned. Change always leads to uncertain results. Things don't go smooth. Usually seems worse than it is.
Moving forward. Revising the schedule and making more relaxation time. May need to revise schedule for The Nifty Tech Blog. Getting by with a little help from my friends.
