I have achieved nirvana.
What could be causing this odd feeling of euphoria?
Sleep? No. I was up late last night baking (stress relief. I didn't eat any of the delicious-smelling baked goods.) and then couldn't turn off my mind to go to sleep. I wouldn't let myself look at the clock, so I don't know exactly how little sleep I got. It was way under the 8-9 hours I would like to sleep.
Diet? Doubt it. Although what I eat is not objectionable (well, according to primal standards. Vegetarians are lighting incense and vegans are vomiting at the amount of animals I'm consuming), I'm not eating enough of it. I tend to skip meals a lot, because I get busy and forget to eat. This is something I need to work on.
Peaceful, easy feeling? Hardly. This has been an insanely busy week at work, in preparation for several big events in the next three days, on the tail of a really hectic month. My stress levels are probably the highest they've ever been. I'm generally a low-stress person, and I think I handle stress fairly well. This week has been overwhelming, though.
Caffeine? Maybe. I'm still drinking diet soft drinks (something I will cut out of my diet soon, but I couldn't face this month with no sources of fast energy!), but I'm no more caffeinated than usual.
I don't know what it is. I like it, and wish I knew how to recreate this feeling (naturally) at will. Maybe I have reached a delicate balance of exhaustion, under nourishment, stress and caffeination that results in this intoxicating bliss. One more Coke Zero may send me off into an exhilarating frenzy of madness.
I'd rather just fall asleep.
