Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

Recently, when I need to do something and I don’t feel like doing the task, I have been asking myself this question, “Is there anything physically that’s stopping me from doing this?”. And the answer has always been no so far. So, when I need to do the dishes, when I need to fold the…

1 tbsp of ground flaxseed added to my supper every day. I drink very little water throughout the day. First reason is because I don’t feel thirsty and second is because my bladder can’t hold urine for too long. If I drink the recommended 8 glasses per day, I end up having to pee frequently.…

RD. That’s my patient’s initials. Not long ago, I reviewed his medications. Went over each of them as a yearly routine review to make sure that he is taking them properly. And that’s the first time I kinda got to know him. I learned that he was a professor overseas for a few years and…

One day in high school, one of my classmates told me I had bad breath. I think out of embarrassment, I tried to deny it, then she challenged me to exhale in front of her to prove her point. From then on, I have been super conscious of my breath. My confidence has gone down…

UPPER FALLS Me and my siblings recently came from a trip to Alberta Canada. A place I regret taking for granted for a long time. I obviously knew about the place having been living in Canada but I never took interest in visiting, until recently. I had no expectations, but even if I had the…

Yesterday was better than the day before. I woke up with a reminder for myself to not give too much attention on negative thoughts. I will recognize the presence of the thought but that’s it. I will keep on working on the tasks of the day. So, yesterday at work, I was productive. I didn’t…
