		<description><![CDATA[I have the tendency to think of things I ought to do, or ought to have done.  But that way of looking at events is very passive.
Instead, I can choose to look at those things as choices.
For instance, if I think &#8220;I should have done xyz&#8230;,&#8221; which leaves me in a position of regret. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This post is about the story (or stories) we tell ourselves.
I just read Semiotics: The Basics, by Dan Chandler.

It was a fascinating book.  Semiotics is the study of signs.  Not just &#8220;traffic signs,&#8221; but anything that signifies something else, and how that signification functions.
There were bits and pieces throughout the book that have [...]]]></description>

Once you&#8217;ve done that, watch this for inspiration:

		<description><![CDATA[Among the emotions to play with is Sadness.
Specifically, we can play with the overt expression of sadness &#8211; crying.
When I worked at Harvard Pilgrim HealthCare in Boston, MA, my boss and I came up with a crying competition.  We would come in to work every morning armed with a new &#8220;cry.&#8221;
We did the &#8220;man&#8221; [...]]]></description>

To do that, it may be beneficial to practice identifying the other states we assume throughout the day.  For most of us, these other states will [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Aight&#8230;if you&#8217;ve been reading recently, you may be wondering what all of my recent posts have to do with physical activity, health, or athletic performance.
It has come to my attention that most people seek personal trainers for motivation, support, or encouragement, over/above knowledge, instruction, or learning.
First, I think that this is a culturally-based bias.  [...]]]></description>

I see one source in the dissociation of people from their “tools.” From everything they use, they are further and further removed. Things become “mere things.” We suddenly are no longer connected in a cycle of creation and destruction. We [...]]]></description>

In it, he describes the ways in which contact with dirt can positively affect (and effect) your mood and health.

Now here&#8217;s the rationale.
There&#8217;s something called Henneman&#8217;s Size Principle (I know, right?).  It says that motor units are recruited by the nervous system from smallest (slowest) to largest (fastest).

The next time you go visit friends, and have some good times for a while, pay attention to your physiology.  There is a chemical composition of &#8220;happiness&#8221; or &#8220;joy&#8221; happening inside you during that time.
