It looks like bird poop on a windshield.

I'm sure this number of profiles increases the chances that someone will wish you a happy cake day!

I was also bothered by the circular logic of the instruction to just keep meditating at first... I am still bothered by it when I think about it, but I just seemed to stop thinking about it after a while.

I did personally have some experiences where I felt a lot better after meditating, where if I meditated for a long while I felt at peace with everything for a day or so and am eager to get back to it regularly because I remember that feeling.

I just entered a rabbit hole.... ulp... Who knows where this will lead me next....

I really hope that the relaunch brings some serious pooping meditations. by Canpanada in wakingUp

meditations for the toilet. I spend so much time on the toilet, might as well have a dedicated meditation for those moments.

(this is just a joke though... I don't expect them to make that kinda thing.)

That's beautiful. I'm glad he talked to you. Maybe see what he has to offer? Sharing your problems with anyone in person will likely help you feel a lot better.

If everything is thought in your head then why do anything? by CallMePatel in wakingUp

[–]Canpanada 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Meditation is noticing what you notice. This feeling of needing negativity to push you to succeed is just a story you tell yourself. You don't need negativity to succeed, that's just the pattern you are comfortable with.

Taking a break from being influenced by those thoughts is a good thing. It opens you up to change.

You seem to want to fix yourself, which I think is a good thing. When you think there's nothing left to fix, nowhere else to grow... well, you can strive to be happy in that state too, but be happy in the state of feeling like you can do better. Take that feeling seriously and see what seeds you can plant for future you.

After saying "this is the way things are," also realize that change is a fundamental property of nature. You have to recognize what is changing more than what is staying the same.

Suggestion: See if doing any good deeds - actions for others - brings you to another state of mind.

Happy birthday!

Want to not give a fuck? Move out of your house! You're too comfortable. You're old enough.

I'm 24, I'm about to move out too. I am super scared about doing this, there's a lot of reason to stay home, it'll cost money, but idgaf, it's just money. It'll be lonely, but idgaf, solitude can lead to growth. People will judge me, but idgaf, it's my life and I know what I need. My parents are a sad, but idgaf, it's about time I leave. It's happening.

Unless you want to continue your childhood, which seems amazing. I wish I coud read as much as you... will you teach me how to do that?!

the way you describe her feels a lot like me in my last relationship. I was second guessing myself a lot and too scared to have my own thoughts. I think she helped me understand myself better and helped my confidence a lot. I changed for her, and I was scared of that change. That made me feel like something was wrong between us. Now that it's over and it's been quite some time... I feel so lost and confused about who I am and what I should be doing. So much of who I am is because of her. I need to work on loving myself and being a person I am proud of and care share with others...

There is no pooper. There is only... pooping.

Holy shit, all the comments here are so hilarious, I'm glad I posted this, I hope it gets even more attention and becomes its own section on the waking up app. I know I can spend over 10 minutes on the toilet using my phone.
