I have a little bit of a format change in Zeke Thoughts this week as prompted #ThoughtfulDailyPost and the new prompt @thoughtfulposts/thoughtful-daily-post-monthly-prompt-1 @Wesphilbin waves the flag for us and runs @thoughtfulposts as the curation account that rewards thoughtful posts. Please share your positive vibes on the blockchain and consider delegating.

My algorithm mercifully feeds me positive vibes and I choose the best to share every week.

What Centers Me?

I like to think I do many things that center me. Walking the dog an hour most nights. Training Jiu Jitsu. Unplugging from my routine to enjoy a break. Loosely practicing mindfulness. Sometimes things can get serious in business but I try not to take it too seriously and don't ever feel that far off center.

Last week, I broke away and went camping with the family a few days in the wilderness. We do this quite regularly, maybe an average of 2-3 times a year. I definitely enjoy it and look forward to the trips but never really considered them centering 'til this year. Night settled upon the lake and this view turned to clear starry skies. Nobody around, just me and the lake each drinking in the clean air.

Yah I guess camping centers me!

Listening to Tool today and couldn't think of anything but "I will find the center in you." Instant classic that turned into a classic.

Keep the Plug in the Jug seems to be a clever mantra for quitting drinking. I am no quitter but I can respect that notion if it helps people with healthy life choices and promotes thoughts like these.

We have spoken about being honest with yourself and how difficult it is to stop lying to ourselves. Right when you get to the point when you are proud of yourself for cutting the bullshit of convenient lies to save face or effort, you find another set you are telling yourself. Seems like such a juvenile defence mechanism but we all do it.

No matter who you are looking at, they are still getting their shit together just like us. If we ever truly get our shit together, it really would take an unimaginable amount of honesty. But why? Wisdom can be a superpower when capturing the lessons from a lifetime of mistakes and becoming honest with ourselves. What happens when we get there? The stark realization that nobody was to blame for holding us back but ourselves.

Will that be depressing or exhilarating? Whoever gets there first, make sure to come back and let the rest of us know on #thoughtfuldailypost alright?

Drink in the soaring vocals, take a look at yourself and think of what you have left behind with Skid Row.

Join this movement as the world needs your wisdom and the blockchain is a place to share it. I hope others join me in delegating to @thoughfulposts to increase the rewards for positivity.
@thoughtfulposts/thoughtfulposts-introduction-or-a-thoughtfuldailypost is where you can get the details and share your thoughts.

I invite you to pen your own #thoughtfuldailypost any day of the week and spill your wisdom on the world through your blog.

I am honoured to curate for:
