As I go through my Project, which starts when i wake up and even continues when i sleep (it simply involves *noticing* - see below)* - one strange side effect I've noticed is this: Everything feels like smooth glass. My skin, everything I touch - even this very keyboard in front of me. and food tastes and smells great (although I figured that was due to quitting cigarettes, which is probably is) So I just decided to look it up and see if it means anything. I came across this: [...] altered perception of space and time positive basic mood, synesthesia, changed meaning of percepts, facilitated recollection or imagination significantly increased self-confidence, heightened mood thoughtfulness contemplativeness extroversion, sensitivity and emotional excitation.'' and.. well... this is part of a description for the rave drug Ecstasy. Wow. Just doing what I'm doing. I'm guessing I accidentally tripped over methods to naturally increase levels of Serotonin in the brain. Yes, I will definitely put this together in a book. Or ten. Or do *something* with the knowledge I'm getting. 'Cause it's way too useful for me to keep to myself. #serotonin #memory #mind #happiness #love *(the Project involves gently noticing myself and everything around me at the same time while I go about my activities - that's my main data collection - as well as note taking: ''write it down before you forget - and you have only a few seconds to do it in before it's gone'')
