March 6, 200917 yr Nice thought... At the moment about 7 - some problems with a Danish hosting company, and I have a chest infection (i.e. man-flu!) so am feeling a bit sorry for myself. But being chilled is the way to go. Talking of chilled, I'm reading a book about zen buddhism at the moment (it discusses it as a philisophy not as a religion) which is definitely interesting, though I'm not sure how or if I will apply any of the principles it discusses - I'm still trying to understand them!

March 6, 200917 yr @Future Perfect: Cool - the one I'm trying to get my head round is Buddhism Plain and Simple. It looks at the pure philosophical aspects of Zen. However, at the moment it's doing my head in
March 6, 200917 yr Author check this out if your interested in spiritual booksI am That. It's about pure being very cool and fascinating its about levels of being starting with what you are not like your mind
March 6, 200917 yr TBH, it's very rare I get above a 3. Unless a client is stalling on payment and I'm desperate for cash, in which case I probably hit a good 20! Right now, I'm definitely a 1 (it is Friday afterall)
March 7, 200917 yr Nice, WDF ascends into a discussion of the best zen literature in English. My vote goes to zen mind, beginners mind, by Suzuki, followed by The Zen Manifesto, freedom from oneself by Osho (not for the feint hearted). Zen Flesh, zen bones is also quite good, by Paul Reps (translation). Back on topic, all that zen hasn't chilled me out one bit. I probably rest on about 8 pretty much all the time, I think stress is in my genes.
March 7, 200917 yr On a good day, I'm about a 7 or 8. On a normal day, 9 or 10. On a bad day, 500 or so. I live on stress lol The last time I was relaxed to a level below a 5, was the last time I was in hospital lol, and that was only because I was high on morphine
