confabulating restraint

The mindbrain was becoming stressed while dealing with the technology. It was time to change my mind. 

First - read some dharma talk from Mark Epstein. Second - brainstorm 14 words, list them alphabetically, then use them to confabulate sentences.

brooding
contentment
desire
drive
motivation
need
peace
release
renunciant
retreat
sacrifice
urge
want
witness

“Brooding can be replaced by contentment when desire activates a drive and motivation to recognise latent needs. Peace comes as a result of release which is most effectively achieved while being a renunciant in retreat. Sacrifice gradually wears away the urges. The ephemeral nature of wants and needs is noted by the witness. Restraint is tough in the beginning but it gets easier, almost inevitable, with practice.”
