My post "access to the spiritual current," written back in September, stood out against all others.
Now, in this third chapter of The Introvert Exposed, I find myself referring to it more than ever.
It would seem that what had been an overarching theme in chapter one has become a sharp focus.
Less effort on a more focused causal link.
How much physical and spiritual energy do we sacrifice for the need to exert our will over what is?
We chase a dog and the dog runs away. We sit and it comes to us. We run from a hornet and the hornet gives chase. We let it investigate us and it flies away unprovoked.
I've begun to introduce moderation into my life.
Do I really need a huge energy drink or will a small one do just as well at half the price?
Do I need to eat until I'm full, or will one slice of pizza keep me going until I have access to a more sustainable food source?
Taking that extra half second to consider such things gives me the opportunity to slow my brain down, effectively reducing my impulsivity.
