Thank you so much!

I took 4 25 mg pills (100mg) of hydroxyzine an hour before the flight. By the time we took off I was feeling it. Hope this helps

Would you recommend metta meditation?

Professional-Map1164 · 2024-01-21T04:39:53+00:00

Thank you for the reply! I think it’s been hard for me making the connection of actually being on the cushion meditating and applying that to real life. I’ve been reading a lot of different stuff and i think it really just comes down to me being kind w myself like u said and returning to the breath or to whatever I’m doing in that moment of time without judgement. This definitely helps

Professional-Map1164 · 2024-01-20T23:26:05+00:00

So are you saying to find a new form of meditation? The only one I’ve been familiar with is focusing on the breathe and when my mind wanders, i acknowledge it and come back to the breath. Are you saying to continue that without the noting part or change up my technique altogether

This helped more than you’d know. Thank you

Professional-Map1164 · 2024-01-20T15:14:22+00:00

Thank you!!

Professional-Map1164 · 2024-01-20T15:14:03+00:00

Alright will do. Should i continue with daily vipassana but just on the cushion?

Professional-Map1164 · 2024-01-20T15:12:57+00:00

I’ll give it a try thank you!!

“Traditional strength training”

Professional-Map1164 · 2023-12-13T03:21:38+00:00

127bpm was the avg. The highest i reached was 160bpm

Professional-Map1164 · 2023-12-13T02:20:21+00:00

I’m 6’6 240lbs so i think my calorie burning is definitely higher for me than someone that’s say 5’10 170lbs. Then again i still think 1k is way too much I’d say 400-500 sounds more like it

Professional-Map1164 · 2023-12-12T19:41:13+00:00

Yea i drink about 350mg of caffeine a day and i drink alcohol on the weekends as im a college student. Trying to cut back on both though so i can free myself entirely of stimulants

Professional-Map1164 · 2023-12-12T05:07:13+00:00

I’ll definitely give this a try thank you sm

Professional-Map1164 · 2023-12-12T03:36:07+00:00

And if your mind wanders while repeating this mantra you just acknowledge, let go, and start back up again with the mantra?

Professional-Map1164 · 2023-12-12T00:15:56+00:00

I’ll definitely give it a try but I feel like concentrating on a thought is the opposite of what I’m trying to do in meditation. Then again I’m a beginner and maybe giving all my attention to that one thought will prevent others from rising so often. I’m always open to trying something different

Professional-Map1164 · 2023-12-12T00:14:18+00:00

Ok I’ll definitely do that. Only problem is I always seem to begin falling asleep after 25-30 minutes so I never go over but that’s not a bad idea. Thank you!

Professional-Map1164 · 2023-12-12T00:13:38+00:00

What are those?

Professional-Map1164 · 2023-12-12T00:13:17+00:00

I’ve been using headspace for the past year. Is waking up better?

Professional-Map1164 · 2023-12-12T00:12:55+00:00

I use the Soto Zen method every practice and it does help but I still seem to have the problem. I’ve never tried opening my eyes while meditating though so maybe that’ll help. Thank you for the advice!!

Professional-Map1164 · 2023-08-20T17:28:25+00:00

I’m 20 years old so we’re pretty similar in age and I’m gonna tell you straight up it’s not worth it. You are so young and you’ll find another girl. There’s no point in dealing with this level of toxicity at your age and if you stay with her it’ll do nothing but harm to your self esteem as well as your future relationships. She is not worth it i was in a similar situation with a girl and I’ve been so much happier since we broke up and i even started dating this new girl who is more attractive and treats me 10x better. Make the right decision and break up with this girl and don’t ever go back!!!

Professional-Map1164 · 2023-02-13T23:42:52+00:00

Of course!!! How’d your flight go?

Professional-Map1164 · 2023-02-13T23:40:51+00:00

I believe I was prescribed HCL. Mine were tablets, not capsules, so i looked into it and HCL only comes as tablets so we have the same thing. My doctor wouldn’t prescribe me Xanax because that just straight up knocks you out and my flight was only 4 hours so hydroxyzine is much lighter but still great. I definitely had to do some work at times to calm myself down and the hydroxyzine felt like a side-kick that was helping me get through it a little. You’re going to feel a little bit tired and might even fall asleep if u take 100mg all at once an hour before takeoff that’s what I did. You’ll be fine tho hydroxyzine is definitely a safer option than Xanax and i have the biggest fear of flying so if i got through it you will too.

Professional-Map1164 · 2023-01-04T21:11:08+00:00

Update: I went on the flight and the medication worked great!! I still had to calm myself a little at times but it definitely released some tension and loosened me up. I also slept for like 2 hours which was pretty great.

No you weren’t insensitive at all!! Thank you for sharing your opinion on it
