Today I had almost forgotten that I need to do a post and just now, with only a few hours left, it dawned on me. I don’t really have much to say today either. So, I have let myself wonder a bit and see what has come out.

The thing is that I am still uncertain about a lot of things in my life. I am just seeking for answers if I could call that ’seeking’ and ‘answers’. My best bet now probably is to experience more different things to find out what could stick for me. If that doesn’t work, I don’t know what will. I am, however, realizing that nowadays life isn’t this “choose this path and follow it blindly” thing but rather “do many things, change”. Or perhaps I only want it to be so.

Still…I have also been reading about NLP recently and I got another interesting part of this: the visualizations. To put it pretty simply - if you don’t like some event in your past (i.e. it brings you negative emotions), say you got blamed for something, you imagine the person blaming you, in your mind you make the image really small, remove the colors and hold the image still. On the other hand, if you want more of something, say you achieved a goal and was in the state, you imagine yourself at that moment, intensify the colors, make the image brighter, closer to yourself and moving. This way your brain can process information and you can get over your past, triggering positive emotions. That’s what theory says.

Does it work? I am not sure. I think it might have something to it. Currently, I have been trying it a few times but as with most things, it’s hard to keep at it. But I wonder if I could get rid of more negative emotions using this kind of technique. After all, aside from that “always be effective” generalization crap, this was at least something possible to put into practice that I could pick up from the NLP stuff. 

Today I checked a few popular blogs and I’ve made an assumption which I find hard to deny that they have all got this “I’ve got it goin’ on already” attitude. Seriously, can you name a popular blog of some guy who doesn’t (sub-)announce himself as an expert in the field he’s blogging in? People don’t really care that “you’re learning”, they need you “to deliver” and they hope to get something from you. Most of the time they don’t. Reading the experts is often a time-waste and that’s why I have unsubscribed from most of these ‘expert’ blogs.

I always wanted to use ‘perhaps’ instead of ‘maybe’ more often because ‘perhaps’ sounds cooler but now I am beginning to see that I use perhaps too often.
