210.0. "Daily/weekly/monthly cycles of life ?" by TONTO::EARLY (Bob_the_hiker) Fri Feb 20 1987 12:40

    Cycles. Life cycles. 
    
    Cycles I can 'identify' are as follows; similiar to biorythms, but
    not measureable, per se, to definate periods.
    
    I find myself going through cycles of Introspection, Emotional needs,
    Physical expenditures, and 'cultural' needs.
    
    These cycles tend to wax and wane independent of any external
    influences,and don't seem to correlate to any bodily function.
    
    On one day, I  may feel terribly in need of emotional outlet, feeling
    blue, and down. On another I am so exuberant I can hardly contan
    myself. 
    
    I find "I got to" take a real physically stressful hike (Excercise)
    to "reset my clock" (what clock ? But that's what I call it). I
    use this clock everyday; a charge which gets recharged periodically
    through specific forms of excercise.
    
    Introspectiveness, looking at oneself, and reflecting on what we
    see, in terms of what HAVE we acomplished, what is yet left to be
    done, and what changes, if any, we'd like to  make; to make life
    more satisfactory to ourselves.
    
    For example, I am in a 'introspective' HIGH part of the cycle, a
    "physical high", but a 'cultural low', and a 'emotional middle'
    (middle == neutral). Tomorrow, the day after, this will all change.
    
    Do you find yourself going these 'cycles', where the specific 
    needs of yourself vary from day to day, but at least in a sort of
    cyclic rate, seemingly independent of external influences of bodily
    functions ?

210.1what goes up...DONJON::EYRINGFri Feb 20 1987 15:4210
    I go through "up" and "down" cycles.  But I have a theory that a
    person can only go as high as they can low.  I.e., people are like
    sine curves (from high school trig.) and the person that can get
    VERY depressed can also get VERY happy.  My husband doesn't get
    as depressed as I do sometimes, but he also doesn't get a euphoric.
    
    Anyway, remembering my "theory" helps when I'm down.
