    It’s funny that this post and this comment have this very specific timing in my life. Just yesterday I had a realization that I need to start questioning my thoughts with closer scrutiny. I knew about my intrusive thoughts and am actively dealing with those, but once you catch on to them they become quite blatant.

    The really tricky thoughts are the subtle bullying, the kind that gruadually erode your self esteem. In my case I have a bully in my brain that closely resembles the bullies I dealt with growing up. Meditative practices teach us to observe our thoughts and let them pass without giving them a reaction. This method can also be used when we’re not actively meditating.

    I suppose it depends on the kid. Fruit seemed like a punishment to me when I was younger, and then when I got older I wondered how I could have been so ridiculous.

    Maybe I disliked it because “the man” wanted me to eat it because it was healthy. Maybe the rebellious kids are the ones who hated fruit, but not because of the taste.
