Day 458 | Aphantasia

---

I started a challenge of taking 100 days off to mainly focus on my health and overall personal development and used this account as a personal blog. I enjoyed it and continued afterward trying to build better habits and find a good balance between health, work and my personal life...

I came across an interesting condition around 1% to 3% of people have which is called aphantasia. It was only discovered around 4 years ago and pretty much makes those people have zero capabilities to have a visual imagination. When I close my eyes I just see black all the time and It's impossible for me to imagine anything visually. It's all just concepts I'm thinking about and I can't believe most people actually see things. I do see things in my dreams though and have an easyer time than most with lucid dreaming. I do need to read up more on the condition but it would explain a lot why I have always felt to think fundamentally different and process info in another way comared to most people. It also explains why leaning by heart always seemed impossible for me and why I don't get art and such being just purely focussed on facts more.

Anyway, there is a little test you can do to test your visual imagination

If you close your eyes and try to visualize the red start in your imagination, what do you see? For me it's clearly option 1 and I can't even believe most people actually see option 6. (Reddit Test Link)

Anyway, I'm mostly focussed on intermittend fasting and losing some weight right now. I'll try to finish the month strong doing hot yoga classes on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
