Overcoming the 'woo'

Recently, I caught myself looking into organics, herbal, crystals and kombucha. I had to step back and realize I am getting myself into the 'woo'. My scientific mind doesn't want to compute but, my body started to crave natural whole foods, living a zen life, meditation.

Yeah, I feel better but, there's no way I should fall myself to the 'woo'. What's a woo? It's basically a short term for pseudoscience and also applies to other terms such as homeopathy, energy vibrations, crystal healing, organics, etc. To get myself back on track, I blocked myself from reading up on it. It's a little harder with having an education in Archaeology because a lot of the 'woo' stuff gets superimposed into archaeological debates. It's time for me to learn which ideas are solid, needs to be investigated or pass it off as woo. I will no longer debate people about ancient history because it is my forte. If people believe aliens built the pyramids, I'll just smile and nod then say "you're talking to an archaeologist". It's like telling a doctor about how homeopathy is better than today's medicines. It just doesn't make sense in my head.

I will however set up a meditation spot in my house as I am currently struggling with personal stress and am tired of being irritable. I recently discovered the main cause and that is set for another time.

Blogging Blunders

I've committed an eternal sin which is not blogging. I've lost interest mostly due to the real world tacking on more responsibilities on me. I've got a full time job, vacations to plan, exercising, focusing on weight loss and still no clue what I want to do career wise. I have yet to find my calling and still I am desperate to figure out what I should do in my life.

I can't complain much because my life so far is decent, but the existential crisis is strong. I'm barely 30 years old and am sick and tired of having so many ideas and no time to start them off. I don't want to stay stuck with regrets so I will say "fuck it, I'll finish what I started." I honestly don't think blogging/tweeting/snapchatting/vloggin, etc is for me even though it's a great way for me to vent and rant. As of this moment, I will put this blog to a pause and figure out how I can make my life better. Until then, stay classy.
