There's no better word for it: I really am depressed about my work right now. That was probably what yesterdays post was all about as well, even if I did not realize it until later in the day.
The last weeks I have been digging myself deeper and deeper into theory. That might have been a good thing, except I have not given any thought to how I was going to get myself out of the hole. Along the way I have unconsciously changed my problem to fit theory instead of staying in control and most importantly: In contact with the real world. My hypotheses have become increasingly more academic, and dramatically less possible to prove true or false.
In chat yesterrday I started to rethink my main question. If it is going to work as a guideline for my thesis (and I desperately need guide!), I need to keep it simple. I got some help and advice in chat yesterday, and more in e-mail this morning. On my way to the office I made a mental mindmap (Warning: metaphors colliding!) and today I'm going to keep thinking it easy. No more fresh and catchy theory, but understandable and useful words:
Mind. Body. Language. How and Why.
Hopefully I will have my guideline ready by the end of the day.
