Thanks for the post yesterday. I was going through a funk as well, and reading that post -- and the comments --was a help.

i blogged the experience of coming out of my fog, which started with reading your post, so it was definitely group therapy via blogging!

congratulations, glad to hear you're free of the funk! I've been going through the same process for the past couple weeks, and it feels great 'reconnecting' with myself.

Wow Fred.
Its so rare that you read something online that is genuinely helpful. I am going through something exactly similar but when you are in the middle of it sometimes you can't see the obvious answer. I am taking Friday off.
Thanks for having the courage to post about something like this.

funks are fine, the fields need to lie fallow....
but..... i tried to post this on the big set of comments, it didn't register....
meditation meditation meditation... i don't know how people can live without it.... and anything that opens one to the subtle energies, tai chi, chigung, etc.... changing the horizontal is a bit of a help, but going vertical transcends all the limits, changes all the channels, best vacation there is, daily, too

Glad to hear it's lifting. Great comments yesterday - some terrific advice, and it got me thinking (and blogging) on a semi-related issue... the links between music and mood.

2nd attempt at posting this comment. Please do not use the word funk to describe a rut. Funk is a powerful force, and as George Clinton says "Funk can not only move, it can remove". I would say sour, stuck, in a rut, worn down ... but funk is that special power that at least I use to get over the hump, and I've certainly done that in the past two years.
Listen to that song and I know you will feel better too
Cheers, Chuck

I'm glad to hear that you're feeling less...funky. I was going to suggest something laid back and (as cheesy as it sounds) getting in touch with what you like again. I found a great site recently, www.droptome.com, that is all about expressing what you're in to and sharing it with your friends. Might still be worth checking out in the future. Enjoy the great weather!

I suggest practicing "Entelechy"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entelechy
And when you put funk + enetelechy - you have something quite powerful
