A busy day doing dissertation

I had a busy and exhausting day.

I have been browsing psychological literature<s>s</s> for a whole morning. Though I did not write a lot of words on literature review, I found the mind stage of flow when/while reading.

In the afternoon, I felt sick while reading in English. I stumbled on/upon a lot of difficult words. I tried to look them up one by one. That work was endless, and emotionally draining. Sadly, I lost the flow stage. I felt burning inside my heart, and could not stop searching for various information on my mobile.

In the evening, I somewhat went back to a reasonable mind. I tried to face this imperfectness directly. In Japanese, there is a concept named 'wabi sabi', which focuses on the imperfectness and weakness, while seeking the wise, mature and beautiful aspects in it. I think I shall live my life with the peaceful mind that 'wabi sabi' described.

I hope I can find the flow stage more easily tomorrow.
