The Meditation & Motivation Thread

[YouCherThatGirl]

I plan on getting into meditation at some point in the very near future. Lately, I've just been trying to be/think more positively and my outlook on life has done a 180 over the past few months. Side note, if you aren't on that cold shower wave, then you're missing out. shyt is mind-altering.

I plan on getting into meditation at some point in the very near future. Lately, I've just been trying to be/think more positively and my outlook on life has done a 360 over the past few months. Side note, if you aren't on that cold shower wave, then you're missing out. shyt is mind-altering.

Start now, breh. Even just setting your timer for one minute, sitting still and focusing on your breathing will pay huge dividends. Don't treat it as something you gotta learn or ramp up for in the future.

How could I have forgotten to mention the cold showers

Cold showers changed my life and make me fearless.

All guys are doing is stimulating the Vagus nerve.

Basic techniques in calming your nerves.

Those blacks and Mexicans in San Quentin do cold showers and breath control, but its so they can handle stab wounds and keep fighting.

Started forcing myself to meditate for 20 minutes, every night before I go to sleep, no matter what. The results have been

Currently

In the process of finishing my first ever feature length screenplay. A predominantly black character, Dark Comedy\Detective film that essentially dabbles in Post-Modernism, Existentialism, and obvious absurdity.

Just got promoted to busser at my job. More money, less work.

Might be moving out again soon, perfect chance to build up my credit, and start a comedy/Performance/art scene.

Since I'm on a particular journey, I get some of my meditation tools through tybro.com. The conscious mind cleansing one is particularly good for things such as stress, negative thinking and basically anything else.

I usually meditate for a minimum of 20 minutes and a maximum of hour and a half.

Currently back with my dad in the south burbs of Chicago and it's seriously a ghost town in regards to any kind of D.I.Y. scene. It sucks because there is obvious talent out here (Rockie Fresh is from this area) but nobody wants to put in the effort to create nor travel any kind of venue, especially one in a predominantly black area which I feel would be beneficial.

I'd host a venue out of my apartment, but I truly don't wanna stay out here any longer than I have to. As my father put it."there's no culture nor is there any community incentive for people in their 20's to come chill out here."

What's the deal with cold showers?

There's a headspace app that helps guide you through mediations. You start of with 5 mins, then move on to 10 and then 20. It works for some people as it gives them structure and a routine to follow.

I might have to give this a try. When I try to meditate I find myself thinking about the goal of meditation and then just other random stuff. Like, how do you guys know it's working?

Anyone doing the Deepak Chopra 21 Day meditation program? Day 7

 

[thirdeye]
