I have either juice or tea most of the time, and always water. I avoid caffeinated tea unless I am seriously lacking energy. Then I go for genmaicha or yerba mate. Had a B-complex vitamin earlier. Had a boca burger with hearty bread and mixed greens. Started the whole session off with a black bean and mixed vegetable burrito. Now I'm voraciously milling my bulk snack mix and craving a screwdriver, but knowing that wouldn't help my cause. I don't usually concentrate this hard. Music is always a part of the equation. 031209 ... x Oh and this started at 8pm and it is now almost 4am. A few breaks to talk on the phone and watch a few minutes of dvd's with my roommate here and there. 031209 ... u24 I eat way too many sweets, and not enough liquid. Orange juice is good for you, especially if you smoke. the music comment was about the website, but yes, I always find that music helps concentration (and is an easy way to tamper with your emotions and moods) re: decaf -excellent! caffeine is really bad for you.. mind you, I don't drink tea or coffee regulary (coke, on the other hand..) (now I'm just rambling aimlessly) 031209 ... phil I believe, it is cool. Wish I could take it on the go, the selfhypnosis would be fun...
