Afloat

The past few days my car has told me it's been 30 degrees. I had a "foreign holiday" experience emerging from the air conditioning of aldi into a wall of heat, I think I've only every experienced that abroad before. I won't be sad when it ends tho, it seems to me that people are grumpier when they are over heated.

I understood a bit better today why our brains are drawn to dwell on negative things. It thinks there's more useful information in the negative, it can alert us to danger we need to avoid. So we have to work extra hard to trick our brains to refocus on the positive rather than be dragged down.

I bought myself this at the weekend. Some of my happiest childhood memories involve floating on an inflatable in water so I thought I'd try to recreate that happy feeling.
