Fuck it. Let this serve as an object-lesson.
Also, it was just something I wanted to get out of my system. It's not new knowledge.
it does help me. what i had been doing was writing down epiphanies i had, and the lack of organization or timeline in my notes causes a lot of muck on the road to personal progress. this idea will help me a lot.
and actually, the one time i've used something similar to this was with buddhist breathing exercises. the idea was to come up with a personal mantra that you speak as you breathe out, thus measuring the length of your breath and opening yourself up to whatever thought you were washing your brain with at the time. this is a useful tip for really getting that mantra to stick.
one of mine from a while ago:
breathe in on 6 count or whatever
breathe out whispering "now i awake to the beauty of the world"
i don't know, not meant to be an exact science, but it has a calming effect and gives you something to meditate on.
