Yeah, that is not exactly what I am talking about. The idea is to focus your mind and stop it from wandering freely. It’s like you are practicing regulating what you mind thinks of. Try to spend 15 minutes thinking of nothing, pushing thoughts out of your consciousness, allows you to better control the thoughts you have later and gives you the control to stop and think before you speak.
I’m not a guru though. There are good YouTube guided meditations and many many books on the subject.
If I do this I have a panic attack and hyperventilate
But to each their own
I've always understood that when your mind wanders while meditating its ok to follow that for a bit then bring your mind back to stillness until it wanders again. With practice the still vs thinking mind should begin to switch and you are better able to go longer without your mind wandering. Baby steps if you will.
Also, straight up...I need some help chat thread. Give me your tips on not being a giant asshole.
I think I'm exhausted and that's leading me to not give a shit. When I don't give a shit, I can be pretty fucking callous. I think I'm being a giant asshole to a bunch of people I care about, which sucks.
Went to bojangles for breakfast and they said it’d be a 30 minute wait for a cheddar bo so that’s a great way to start off my Sunday.
Our go to lately for Indian has been Tandoori Bites. Big fan of everything I've gotten there.
sesame seeds are underrated imo
