210326 What I learned in my studies this morning
Darkness lifts slowly
Morning cat purrs and stretches.
Time to make the day.
Today's Meditation:
There's more to me than my conscious mind.
I study philosophy, and Stoicism in particular, to help guide my life. I'm trying to make my life better. To do that, I must begin by learning to control my thoughts and emotions.
But that is just the first step.
The ten thousand things, from the psychological effects food and when I last ate to the time of day to unconscious memories offering their bias toward people and situations, influence how I behave without my realizing it.
If nothing else, I take medications which affect my personality.
Being a better person starts with thinking about my thoughts. It continues with exploring how my inner world interacts with my outer world.
