Where my meditation bros at? How did it change your perception and stress levels? Started some moths ago and that annoying critic has gotten a whole lot more quiet.

meditation before bed improved the duration and quality of my sleep

I have yet to do it consistently but one 10 minutes sesssiom and its a night and day difference in terms of anxiety and brain fog

Ok so here's my method of thought

SILENCE

Is a virtue

How long can you just maintain no thought and a silent mind, you cannot fight it. If something is bothering you say or write down or seek to understand why it's running through your mind. At what point do you stop obsessing over it, will you regain control.

I am nothing, but I am me. I seek nothing for I have everything, I could always have more but do I need it. How will I get it. Continued...

We go from what is bothering me to what I know, to what I want to be or how far I actually am from the moment and then start to ask questions with no answer or realize we cannot be anywhere else but now. Dont play catchup, you cant see the future. The past is set in stone, the moment is you in control even a deliberate psychopath could drop all their emotions and go I WILL NOT FEEL SAD despite knowing they should so what will you allow. Why do you feel it. What will you do to not feel that and then we get to the balance of being able to retain and gain good emotions or states and actions

Ok try again, I am nothing

So again I am nothing, but clearly I am something. So what am I? I am me.

Why? Refer to what I posted and how to analyze it and what you have or are. Emotion etc.

I think therefore I am is equivalent to fake it till you make it. You can think and therefore you are thinking, but why and what makes you think you are?

I am me. I 100% know that, or do I? Do not base yourself on everyone else but yourself on who you are and why, it wasn't your friends fault but you now understand...etc.

You were always in control dont lie to yourself unless you willingly gave up control, this doesnt pertain to underage b& but then again why would they be posting here

meditation doesn't work at all, it's fake, don't waste your time guys

Meditation is a godsend.
When I first started living alone, it fucked my head up. Got panic attacks and severe anxiety.
Since then I've done a few home retreats where I'd meditate for several hours everyday.
Now I have no issues being isolated. It's perfect for me because I'm always working on several projects at once, and you can't really balance that with a social life.
The ability of meditation to restore mental stability is second to none.

Yesterdays correct answer is today's incorrect

I no longer am me, because me is the moment and I defined it. Ok again, who am I.

This is why I base my understanding of the day or who I am after i have lived again.

I make the claim, you are not!
What is your response?

*begins drooling*

i don't want to fuck you up but you do need a social life

Ok let's do a logic science test
Anything is possible
Everything exists for a reason
You are capable of anything
You are you and I cannot tell you what will work for you as it will inherently change who you are.
However something doesnt work for you, which means you're bad at it or you just did a confirmation bias that you are correct and others are wrong.
So are you open minded? I guess you aren't capable or anything, or have self prophesied that you are indeed incapable of doing something someone else could.

The idea of a definition is more important than literally sitting in a lotus position with your hands out etx.

Go take a bath or sit down in a room with the lights off.
WTF ILL LOOK WEIRD
Uh just close the door or do it at night before you go to bed, keep the lights on. Start stripping things away for 5 minutes, how much can you let go of.

Thsts all it fucking is, this isnt rocket appliances I'm not some holy man for meditating. It's the equivalent to debriefing yourself on the day and returning to who you are instead, a balance of TO BECOME or TO DO.

So basically you're already writing yourself off because you either believe you're something and cannot do it again or return to that state because you're falsely....or because your confirmation bias is a bet that your correct over everyone else?

Define social life. I go places and interact with people at work, at he gym, and places I go.

I really hope you're not buying into the idea I need to text and socialize on social media because that's where everyone is locked into currently?

I posted on IG for the first time in like 2 years yesterday and the response was "you're alive!" Like what fuck off, I shouldnt need to do this but I will once in a while because obviously I'm contrived enough to be staring at my screen right now to talk to your dumbass in hope you might stop for a few hours and live life

I plan on going back to martial arts classes, but really I could live the way I do for the rest of my life and be happy.
That's one of the main purposes of meditation, to find happiness that stays regardless of external conditions.

According to my idea there is someone going absolutely batshit crazy saying I DISAGREE over and over but while I maintain you are free and thus my logic is do not listen to me and thus you will find you who you are they start with an appeal as to why they are correct and thus remove your freedom.

I uh disagree, those people are dangerous

As a side note, I think loneliness is a problem that everyone has to address in their lives.
Otherwise, when you get old, what are you going to do? Your kids will move out, your friends will die.
You have to learn to be alone or it will become a serious problem later down the road.

you got awfully defensive there at the end. I think what you're trying to tell me is that you have no friends, i accept that, and i wish you all the best x

I like to refer to those people as gatekeepers because they will never let you be free. Anything is possible and I think therefore I am works because you will believe you are, but it's a delusion because you didn't pair it with realistically who you are which was "me". Therefore you can cut the crap and be me, you and go from there.

Mistakes are very obvious and to disagree immediately with someone who asks you to think for yourself means they have objectively removed something they can do immediately and ARE NOT capable of anything because they disagreed right off the bat and seeked to confirm from the basis they are, because you listened. I can also hold the idea or opinion that I have made mistakes and you should not, but those same people who immediately disagree will never admit they were wrong and thus my gatekeeper is born.

I AM CORRECT, BUT I DISAGREE BECUASE OF THIS. BUT I KNOW WHO I AM, BECAUSE UHHH AND THATS WHY YOU NEED TO LISTEN TO ME BECAUSE UHHHHHH
UHHHHHHHHH.LOOP

>I have no friends

Define friends, I have no close friends 100%. I have acquaintances and people I come across who are friendly. I can message my "friends" today and go out Friday on Instagram, should I do that? Doesnt that mean I have friends? Friends are something you need to maintain, I will always be me.

Brainlet

Also now let's talk bigger
I have no social life but I am me, by knowing who I am I come across people and this builds who I am. Mind body soul, I can relate this entire argument to philosophy an idea or understanding of science and a physical exemplification of what i believe and the results of what i know athletically and with my uh "1RMs" and relation to weight/height/p4p/time invested/money etc.

We clearly want different things so exemplify and I will also. I probably have a bigger trophy rack, people know who I am, I work hard, I've done this multiple times, I start again now and then but no longer seek to because I dont change what works.

Long run vs short term gains. Your friends will not be there when you die, you were promised nothing except a mind body and soul and started out with "nothing" the promise.

>Define a social life
>Define friends

you have neither a social life nor friends, and that's OK, i suppose they're not for everyone, as long as you're happy

>Define happy

hahaha

How the fuck am I supposed to meditate? I looked up lots of methods posted around as well as following guided meditation on youtube but I can't seem to "get it". I see lots of abstract babble but there's no direct instructions aside from focusing on your breath, counting and sit there in silence. This never works and my thoughts run wild. "Just observe" is another I keep hearing but how the fuck do I do that without more abstract instructions. I'm a fucking anxiety-ridden mess but I'm still rational enough to not succumb to self hypnosis. Please help.
