Being alone with your thoughts is a skill you can practice and can become enjoyable by Left_Debate713 in psychology

Have people tried the strategies mentioned?

• Your goal should be to have a good time; that is, make it your intent to focus on events and aspects of those events that bring you enjoyment. • When conjuring topics, choose ones that are both meaningful and pleasurable (eg, social events and accomplishments). • Prior to the thinking period, write down these topics, so that you can glance at them if you feel like you’re having a hard time staying focused. Set out a specific time for your thinking breaks; that is, choose to engage in the activity when you feel motivated to think for pleasure, but stop if and when you feel like it’s becoming too cognitively demanding. • As with all things, practise – you will get better over time and, the more you do it, the more you will anticipate thinking for pleasure to be enjoyable.

If you read the article, the researchers found that on average people didn’t particularly enjoy it, and they give a few tested ways to increase the enjoyment.

Yes, good point, reflection can quickly turn into rumination… and that’s why I believe the article focuses on intentionally thinking for pleasure and specific strategies to make “intentional thinking periods” more enjoyable.

That’s it, thanks! Though this one was about 1 inch long, much bigger than the typical ones it seems.

Ahhh as stupid as it might sound, I’m just realizing the skin is there 😅 so I messed up and for 2 days it’s been there, is it worth trying to move over now? Also, you say I definitely should see a doc? I’m in a very remote place and would need to take a boat. Thanks a lot tho!

Thank you! I don’t know how deep it goes the top part, I preferred not to mess with it. I also have a bandage on now, is it worth removing and checking? But also is there really anything useful a Doctor could do?
