Earlier today I went to a horse racing track for the first time in thirty years or...

As common sense as it seems to...
An experiment in stress reduction
So after a great, but long intense movie (Of Gods and Men) I was feeling anxious and stressed about work. I decided to do an experiment to see which of 4 activities would help the most and how much. I would quantify my state of mind on a scale of 1 (good) to 10 (bad) and try 4 things for 15 min each: writing in my notebook, writing on my laptop, meditating, and reading a spiritual book. After 30...
