    Pighead wouldn't spend any time messing about with mindfulness I'm fairly sure....

    For me low level sadness are things like really really looking forwards to a steak, nailing it cooking wise for that perfect medium rare and then doing something like dropping it on the floor when transferring it from pan to plate.....

    I’ve been off work for the past two weeks on stress leave. This is hugely common in my line of work – working at the cutting edge of European finance here in Frankfurt.



    It has been accompanied with what I could describe as low-level sadness. My 10k times are rarely dipping below the 38 minute mark, and I find myself sighing gently occasionally.



    It has been a difficult few weeks. If it wasn’t for mindfulness, a selection of great novels I’d been meaning to read for years, and the occasional glass of good wine then I don’t know what I would do.

    Meant phased. You may think that it makes no sense in this context but it does. It's to do with space and time and fear. Will explain in more depth when I have more time.

    Ya slipped up there Pighead. Get well soon.

    What the hell is mindfulness? Would you not be better served doing something more worthwhile like trying to improve your 10k times? Faster running times = happier running person = lower stress levels. You can have that nugget for free.

    Something tells me you're not the type of individual who is in a position to dole out advice on improving 10k times.

    You strike me as the type of person who works in low-level IT (password resets etc.), physically unfit and with an awful fashion sense (brown suit, ginger combover). Just the impression your posts give off.

    Keep your nugget, although I dare say you've probably eaten too many of them in your time too.

    I have a wistful yearning for the days when Pighead wasn't a mere scaredycat mortal. Not he's just another unfunny old man like the rest of us. :(

    Who the hell rattled your cage Mindlessness Boy? If you don't want to take on board some grade a advice that's your business. However people with class and distinction tend to smile politely and say 'I'll take that on board' even if they have no intention of doing so rather than spit out their dummy and go 'Wah wah wah'.

    You've got a chip on your shoulder and a brain weighed down by negativity. No wonder you run so slowly.

    Well, if you like fine wine so much how come from the letters of your username I can spell Mr. Anus Vino.

    My cage is very much un-rattled. I'm feeling extremely positive and well-balanced today. I'm very much focussed on the here and now. Just this morning I used a simple but effective mindfulness tool to lean into some uncomfortable thoughts I'd been having. It has really given me a fresh perspective.

    I was a bit taken aback by your unprovoked assault on me today. I couldn't understand why someone who I've never interacted with before would be so negative towards me. So I took the liberty of reading back through your posting history on this site...

    It doesn't paint a very pretty picture and explains an awful lot. A man who is in a joyless relationship, holds down a menial job as a low level IT drone and worst of all a League of Ireland supporter. :o

    LoI supporters are a particularly odious type of person. It's all dead sunken eyes, sheepskin coats, bootcut jeans, chanting English soccer chants. A lifestyle of pints of harp, deep fried sausages, trips to the bookies for a sure thing and spousal abuse.

    At first I was angered by your attack on my character, but it makes sense now, and I forgive you Pighead.

    You can make the word Nosiness out of your name. Just saying.

    Anyway back on topic does anybody know why Pighead's foot is taking so long too heal? It's been ten weeks without a dance at this stage.Far too long in any man's language.

    Yesterday's man speaks. You can't wind back the clock Piggy.

    Meanwhile Aonghus von O'Carroll-Kellyhoff has us all enthralled with his flighty tales of chalky tasting wine and mindfulness.

    Rubbish. The very fact Pighead speaks in the third person gives him an extra dimension to most people. You are very much negatively dimension. You exist on the negative x-axis. Who is this Aongus chap anyway? Must check out his work.

    He's about as retarded as you are:)
