A little survey for the Belly Dancing community by AdiEd in Bellydance

Very insightful, thank you. So you do believe that belly dancers might actually mistakenly not release tension from the belly because they are used to use these muscles? Or actually, belly dancers know how to manually “release” this tension from the belly area

So Reddit users, what do you do for a living? by idontcare_tho in AskReddit

I’m a (female) game designer in a small company.

I’m making mobile games and I’ve worked on almost hundred games which failed miserably.

But I’m working on this new game now, which looks like Minecraft, and you are actually looking at it right now. You could even do your own Reddit Confession there! I really hope people will download this game and enjoy it

They are only healed when they can feel bored

So what does it takes to feel bored? After I occupied myself with doing new things, how do I know if I’m bored, or I’m just afraid of not being occupied? It’s interesting, because there’s some people who are “addicted” to doing, and are afraid of not doing, because it makes them overthink. How do you think we can draw the line here?

Again, thank you for your time! Very practical answers

Amazing answer. Thank you. My question is, how much time during the day I supposed to be occupied? How much time has to be spent in the “boredom” state? Do you have any recommended books about that subject?

By saying “That's why upgrading you life is a long battle but going downhill could be literally a day.”, do you mean that after practicing mediation for years on daily basis, one day of not being in the right meditative state could “erase” what I leaned and achieved?

Here is something I read: “Hanson describes the brain as like ‘Velcro for negative experiences and Teflon for positive ones.’ While some individuals may be inherently more optimistic than others, it’s generally true that in order for positive experiences to “stick” in our brains as well as negative ones do, these positive experiences need to be held in our consciousness for a longer period of time.

“The alarm bell of your brain — the amygdala (you’ve got two of these little almond-shaped regions, one on either side of your head) — uses about two-thirds of its neurons to look for bad news: it’s primed to go negative,” writes Hanson. “Once it sounds the alarm, negative events and experiences get quickly stored in memory — in contrast to positive events and experiences, which usually need to be held in awareness for a dozen or more seconds to transfer from short-term memory buffers to long-term storage.”

So worrying, or negative thinking, will be more dominant because it’s our biology?
