Running for Your Life: Mind Your Health

Keep your mind in shape.

What is the allure of a new language.

At my bedside is a French learner novel and a pocket French-English dictionary – more so English-French in daily life, given the weakness of my French vocabulary, normally curious about French equivalents to English words but instead what helps to get me out of bed in the morning is the harder challenge of French to English.

Reading a sentence in a foreign language that requires me to look up a minimum of two words a sentence in order to follow the storyline of the novel.

Test yourself, seek out a challenge that will better yourself and give you pleasure.

The right choices in everything are the surest antidotes against the scourge of boredom.

I do understand that depression, anger turned inward, is not something that can be walled off.

Imagine this, though. Putting your choices on a spectrum between very happy and very sad. Hone your choosing skills (this based on the cruel premise of the fortune of birth) in a way the will give priority to the “happy” side of the spectrum.
