So spinning used to be something I do to relax and let my mind forget about everything else. Well, unfortunately after this weekend, spinning has a memory attached to it. Now whenever I spin, I start thinking about one of the things I didn't want to think about. This must be what it feels like to slowly go insane... grr.

that..umm.. sucks?
sorry for your misfortune, but instead of dwelling on a negative experience, try to replace it with a positive one. when you think of spinning, look at happy images or try to focus on something uplifting while spinning. misery will only roam as far as you will allow.

lol. actually the problem is that it was a positive experience haha

[Dru]

Haha well if it was a good experience that you're reminiscing about, what's the problem?

[GE1019]

the problem lies in the fact that infatuation can drive a man insane lol

[PeePeeDooDee]

ahhhh i feel the same way right now.

[Proton]

well is the said experience recreatable? like are there associative things you can do that would help you rekindle those memories?

I just string because it's something I love to do. I feel free and capable of doing anything. I do feel bad for you though, I can understand how you feel.

same here man!

same thing goes for most "hobbies" one day you look at it differently and you lose interest. if it makes you feel any better I stopped stringing for a couple months because of a similar situation. Then i found poi, it gave stringing a new perspective and i was able to adapt.

if thats the case man, try out different kinds of poi, you might find something new and exciting.

hmm, i somehow seem 2 b missing what happened so while i can't be specific i will pontificate in a general sense..

carpe diem!! or even better, carpe nactum!! u can't recreate anything.. each moment is individaul.. unique.. recognize when something amazing is happening and treasure every delicious moment of it.. but u have 2 realize that when it's done it's done.. if u continue 2 dwell on what happened, be it good or bad, u will become trapped.. every new experience will only be a comparison rather than a new event with new gifts 4 u.. don't deny the gifts of life by trapping urself in the past..

live each day.. each moment.. breathe each breath.. be alive!! charge 4ward 2 the next great experience because it's certainly on it's way..
