I have three spaces in my brain and they are:
Excitement
Indifference
Depression
After years of looking inward at the ways in which these three spaces hold experiences for me, I have decided it makes the most sense for me to try and move everything that can be moved into the Excitement space.
It’s my life and I get to do that.
But how?
I estimate that the best practice is to take an inventory of the things that regularly occupy my brain and then transfer them to a pros and cons list.
If the pros outweigh the cons, the experience gets moved to the Excitement space.
If the cons outweigh the pros, the experience gets abandoned, whereby eliminating the experiences typically held in the Indifferent or Depression spaces.
Seems legit on paper, but I bet it’s real hard in practice. I suppose that why it’s called a practice and not a perfection.
