Eric Idle: How do we balance the idea of allowing our thoughts and emotions to be kind of what they are? And at the same time, how do we balance that with not empowering them, or living in them or from them? Idle says he uses a very simple daily journaling practice. He asks himself three simple questions every day - "How do i feel right now?" The answers can range anything from philosophical or emotional needs down to text book bills.
