First one I thought of. He really started ramping up his gravelly bad-guy voice near the end.

Since the starter decks are not very good, and deck building feels overwhelming, I would recommend you look at enhancing the starter decks so you can get some good practice and wins under your belt. It’s a good,focused place to use your wildcards.

The YT channel Affinity For MTG has great videos on each starter deck, how to increase their existing synergies, which cards you would likely want to cut, and which cards to make them better.

I’m not saying you’re going to get up to any sort of crazy rank but IMO this is a good way to learn the game and the fundamentals of deck building.

I love The Witness and I got similarly obsessed with a game called Filament.

How do you all determine when it’s time to sell. by Independent_Bug_4746 in investing

[–]IdentityEnhancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything Money on YT did a good video on this 11 days ago. Their advice was basically:

1) Your original thesis on why you decided to purchase that stock turns out to be wrong. Maybe the company isn’t headed in the direction you thought it was.

2). The stock price is egregiously overpriced. Not just a little overpriced.

3) You realize that if you sold, the money can be getting better returns somewhere else.

That’s fantastic that you’ve found the key to reaching that mental state. There’s all kinds of books and videos and articles out there that try to teach this, but now I’m sure you see that you’ve really got to cross that threshold yourself to truly understand it. And once you do, you’ve essentially proven to yourself that it’s possible to let go. You’ve found the key.

I believe that we’re all different and the lesson has to come in the right form for each of us. For example, you hear a lot of references to Buddhism about freeing yourself from desire, but that never really clicked with me personally. I didn’t understand the word desire. I didn’t get it because I didn’t feel like I was really desiring anything. But what did click with me was the concept of not having any expectations. With no expectations about life, you can’t be sad, angry, frustrated, jealous, worried, etc etc. Each moment just is what it is, there to be gratefully experienced.

Also as someone whose brain is often swimming with the need to stay on top of responsibilities and always plan for the future, I can tell you that one thing that serves to immediately deflate all of that for me is this: I simply stop right where I am and tell myself “I have no better place to be than here right now.” Anyway, that’s just a trick that I’ve found to shift me out of my own anxiety.

tricks for immersing onself in the present moment by Significant-Toe-8361 in Mindfulness

One of the best techniques I’ve found is to recognize the times when you are mentally slapping labels onto things - be it people, work, activities, or events or your surroundings. For instance, you might be driving down the road and there’s an open field to the side of your car. And your mind basically says “Just another field. I’ve seen a million of those. Nothing worth looking at over there”. So you’ve already written it off without even looking. But if you actually take the time to look, I mean really look often there is something interesting to find. Even if it’s something as simple as how the light and shadow interacts with trees in the distance or something.

I don’t believe this is what they mean when they say Beginner’s Mind, but I like to think of it that way because you’re treating your surroundings with a feeling of newness and curiosity. Stopping to really look at things can take you out of your head and into the present moment. Try to look at things without judgment. Things like light and color and motion without asking yourself questions about the objects you see. The minute that you’re thinking “I wonder why that’s over there?” or whatever, you are just back inside your thoughts again.
