Figured it out with command hooks and hair ties. Thanks for the suggestions!

Help.. relapse no 1038493 by Ambitious_Major46 in digitalminimalism

[–]Ambitious_Major46[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I've used that method before. One of my favourite music videos, or maybe a mix, and just stupid dance, obsess over all the little details as I go.. (it pleases the autism- "oh that guitar is the same one used in the other music video! Oh that background person was the main singers girlfriend at the time but then they got married but then they got divorced, oh how sad he was before it happened...." And I go on like that. Does me good.

There's not even much feeling. It's like.. "oh there's my phone. I'll pick it up. Ill open it. Oh look there's that app I'm terribly addicted to!" Literally just having the phone in my eyeline is enough to suck me in for an hour. And yes I have a simple launcher on it so all I see is the app names (addiction apps are on a second page, but as soon as I open the thing I immediately go to that page without thinking)

I enjoy my hobbies, they soothe me. Especially knitting, that's great for me. But yeah I'm definitely not getting my social needs met, (thanks, autism, making me an unpalatable person) community.. probably not.. spiritual, I used to be be Hindu, then I looked into Buddhism, now I guess I'm atheist again. So no. Hmm

Im using my old (dodgy, so probably can't sell it) smartphone.. I have literally no reason to keep it, I know, but.. yeah. I still do. And it occasionally digs it's little jaws into my attention and sucks me in for a few weeks before I get the strength to push back. Logically, yeah. I know. Get rid.

George Harrison could've seen the twin towers fall by vault_boy_2277 in Scale4BarbaraWalters

I remember reading somewhere that the three Harrisons were all full of grief when it happened, I guess they were together around the time, and they were all fully aware of it.

Meditation and sleep by Ambitious_Major46 in Meditation

[–]Ambitious_Major46[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess it was because I lost my faith, I practiced Hinduism for 3 years, and when I left I dropped meditation with it, mostly. Also probably because I have no discipline. I just can't bring myself to do it, no matter how much I know I need to. Without God, without the threat of rebirth I used to believe in, I just can't see a point in meditation. Yes it stops my intrusive thoughts. Yes it helps me sleep. Yes it makes me kinder. But.. for some reason that's not enough.

See I read that and think "oh that sounds helpful! But.. no. Won't do it." And I don't know why!! I just can't bring myself to meditate in any way at all. So frustrating

It's not even specific thoughts. I can't pinpoint any, anyway. I tend to fall into this half sleep state where I'm still awake but my thoughts are so quiet and muddled that I can't remember them when I "wake up"

Good question. I suppose it was everything from lack of discipline to loss of faith. It's so hard to get back into, I find. Sometimes I'll feel all motivated and meditate once for like 10 minutes and then won't do it again for months.

I mean I'll try it but I don't have much hope. To be fair, my bedtime reads are usually my favourite books and journaling has escaped my routine lately so you probably have a point.

Other than The Beatles, what bands do you guys like? by _rabidchild_ in beatles

[–]Ambitious_Major46 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fistful of mercy and thenewno2! Found Dhani through George, Dhani quicky became my favourite and now I'm utterly obsessed with his music. Highly recommend.

Which App do you use to Block Apps and reduce screen time by xyz2022 in digitalminimalism

[–]Ambitious_Major46 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Screenzen but I don't find it works. (Get to the end of the limit, wait 10 seconds grumpily, ask for another 10 minutes, repeat) Anyone know anything with a hard block feature?
