This week

Finemore's Five for Friday (12)

Hi folks,

Hi folks been hard to write FFFF this week as I have mostly been disMAYed but moving on...

Listening : 

Continuing my 90’s revival with a band I listened to at school Bellybutton by Jellyfish - great bubblegum pop largely overlooked. 

also Listening to: 

This podcast : http://podcasts.joerogan.net/podcasts/kelly-brogan

Joe in conversation with American Psychiatrist Kelly Brogan. Interesting conversation about her journey from being part of the American Pharmaceutical machine to implementing purely lifestyle interventions for the last 10 yrs. She even talks about vitalism and Chiropractic! It’s a good listen and, "there is no such thing as a free lunch."

Wishing : 

That I hadn’t spent so much time being appalled by biased political commentary and wishing that we had popular independent media channels, a powerful media watchdog and therefore a perspective on the truth.

Eating : 

Raw unpasteurised butter from France. Whenever my mum comes down the line from across the border (Devon) I ask her to bring some for me (from Waitrose). It comes from cows fed on the mineral rich grass of salt-marshes and is too delicious. I could almost eat like a choc-ice. Tastes great. Not that we don’t have great Cornish butter but this is raw and somehow tastes even better. If anyone wants more information on why butter is best please ask.

Contemplating : 

Tony Robbins has said, “The brain inside our heads is a 2 million-year-old brain…. It’s ancient, old survival software that is running you a good deal of the time. Whenever you’re suffering, that survival software is there. The reason you’re suffering is you’re focused on yourself.” 

The best antidote to suffering is often to focus on another, to help another. There is a difference between I-llness and We-llness. 

Until next time,

Simon
