My 10th grade chemistry teacher once recommended that everyone should try fasting for a day at least once in her life. I've meant to try it for years but only got around to it yesterday.

It's strange - my head feels a lot clearer. Perhaps that's a side effect from actually getting more than 5 hours of sleep. But somehow I feel that I've unloaded a lot of extraneous mental clutter and regained some control over what I do, how I think; it's sharpened my sense of what is necessary. I've spent too much time worrying - maybe angsting is the more appropriate term - over matters that shouldn't be overtaking my life. No wonder fasting is associated with religious purification.

It was surprisingly worthwhile, and thankfully doesn't require much to do :)

fasting, interesting,
I don't think I have the self-discipline though, maybe someday I'll try.

It's strange; I never thought I would be able to do it either, but after a certain point you don't really notice. It's hard to describe.
