GCE/ Morning Commute in silence, Purple Line 05/15/18 Express to Red line 8:10am9:10am
Notes Despite all the people and comotion it was extremely difficult to maintain a stream of thought that didn’t hurt me.
It was fun to see how people interact with me while knowing the stipulations of my challenge. I enjoyed this hour the most. I consider myself to be a team player and it was extremely difficult to truly interact with my teammates and feel connected to them without truly speaking/ communicating with them. During the first hour it was nice to walk around. My attempt at mindfulness was swallowed by a reflective hour on my emotions that day.
My morning commutes are usually pretty silent and introspective, mind chatter about my day.

Due to the nice weather I found it easier to keep my thoughts in a positive light, I wonder why our thoughts/ emotions are swayed so easily I proceed to due chores, homework and walk my dog over the next three hours. ||
8:53pm 9:53pm
I wrote and reflected on my prior moments of silence. I wondered questioned the endurance of completing tasks mindlessly, and whether or not it was possible for Holocaust victims/survivors to find some peace in completing the tasks, to use the physical activity as some sort of a mental blockage for their trauma?

I found it possible to clear my mind while interacting with objects and maintaining a clear head.

Excruciatingly tired, as a result my thoughts were jumbled a spastic, very close to how I envision a mania to ensue.
