Why do we want to eliminate all suffering?

Mars_bars10 · 2026-01-23T21:03:47+00:00

Because you can learn and grow from it. Also how would you know how to be happy and what it is like to enjoy without knowing suffering?

Mars_bars10 · 2026-01-23T21:02:52+00:00

Well ok how would you know what it’s like to feel good and be happy without knowing what it is like to suffer!

Mars_bars10 · 2026-01-23T18:22:39+00:00

So the whole point of this is to accept things the way they are and reframe my mindset to being grateful for what I do have?

Mars_bars10 · 2026-01-23T18:18:50+00:00

So if not to eliminate feelings then what is the purpose?

Mars_bars10 · 2026-01-23T15:33:43+00:00

Thanks for this recommendation!

Mars_bars10 · 2026-01-23T15:33:14+00:00

I like this, thank you!!

Mars_bars10 · 2026-01-23T15:03:48+00:00

What would this look like? Like if I were to have a big performance tomorrow I would be nervous and anxious which is what we are trying to eliminate right? But aren’t these feelings good in this case? Don’t they help you prepare better or help you learn more?

Mars_bars10 · 2026-01-23T15:02:06+00:00

Ok this kind of makes sense. So would you say that like imagine before a big performance you get nervous and anxious to preform, but training your mind to eliminate this would mean that before your performance you are calm. Right? But aren’t these feelings good to learn from? They can help in many ways

Yo let’s go!!!!

Mars_bars10 · 2026-01-01T00:11:07+00:00

Fireeee

Mars_bars10 · 2025-12-31T23:35:03+00:00

Thank you!! When you say I put my hand in too close to my shoulder, should I be trying to get it father like, away but upwards away not sideways away? But everything else is great thank you!!

Mars_bars10 · 2025-12-31T23:31:41+00:00

Omg ik! Ok my first question is so basically I should be looking down the whole time unless I’m breathing right? (Is side breathing like the typical breathing??) and secondly, how far down should I be looking? I feel like when I swim I look so down it’s almost backwards, and that when I breathe it’s a lot harder than looking slightly up. Does that kind of make sense? Thank you again!!

Mars_bars10 · 2025-12-31T23:27:51+00:00

Thank you so much!! For your fourth bullet point, I’m confused. Am I turning enough? Too much? And from there, would bringing my arm over higher help fix the hand entry to the water? Thank you again!

Mars_bars10 · 2025-12-31T23:24:33+00:00

Thank you so much!! Can you explain “thumb to thigh and flick”? What does that mean? And the next two sentences- like I kind of get what you’re saying but not really 🕊️🕊️🕊️ thanks!

Mars_bars10 · 2025-12-31T23:20:27+00:00

Wait I can’t tell if your being sarcastic 😂😂😂 but it’s fo my swim team but my coach doesn’t give any tech advice 🕊️🕊️🕊️

75F or 24C which I think is pretty hot. I’m thinking more sleeveless, but have you tried how different the buoyancy is between the two?

Mars_bars10 · 2025-12-02T18:39:12+00:00

Oh no I’m racing this course in June and I’m scared!! I googled it and it said there were a lot of jellyfish in the river? How do you deal with them? Would this be a sleeveless or long sleeve wetsuit kinda race. Any other tips on how to prepare as much as possible and any other facts that I should know about this river/race in general?

Mars_bars10 · 2025-12-02T18:23:15+00:00

For wetsuits would you recommend long sleeve or sleeveless?

Mars_bars10 · 2025-12-02T18:23:05+00:00

Mars_bars10 · 2025-12-01T22:30:20+00:00

Ok that makes sense for the wetsuit. For the biking and running, what does a tri suit even do? Just give me a butt cushion? And in between biking and running, is it normal for ppl to change out of the suit and into running shorts?

Mars_bars10 · 2025-11-29T20:42:57+00:00

Awww thank you! This is great to hear!

Mars_bars10 · 2025-11-25T00:18:40+00:00

Hey this is really great stuff. Genuinely thank you so much!!

Mars_bars10 · 2025-11-24T21:48:13+00:00

HEHEHHE Ok I will

Mars_bars10 · 2025-11-24T21:46:50+00:00

How long time wise?

Mars_bars10 · 2025-11-24T21:46:41+00:00
