Day 1

Today was a pretty uneventful day. While the experiment was on my mind for much of the day, it was hard to keep one-pointedness of mind through tasks that required my full attention, such as having a conversation on the phone or answering email.

With that said, I'd like to make more alterations to my lifestyle. I am going to start meditating again, starting with one hour a day and perhaps gradually moving up.

From an observational perspective, I woke up in a grouchy mood. I felt a combination of being behind and also second-guessing myself for creating this blog, which may be misunderstood. Things turned around after having a long conversation with a friend. It is interesting that one can be in a bad mood, but when you're thrust into a social situation it can immediately disappear. For example, my mom and I would often get in big arguments as she was driving me to school. Sometimes, I'd be to the point of crying. However, as soon as I got into the school, any remnants of sadness were gone.

This leads me to think that any mood could be easily let go with the right mind programming.
