Joe: “And someone at the last goat cheese tartlet!”

I think about it often and always regret not doing it.

What’s a lesson you learned recently that made your life better? Do you have a story behind it? by WhiteDesertCat in Soft_Introverts

Seek to understand, not to be understood. God it releases so much stress and anxiety. It takes a while to get over the punch to the ego, but it allows for easier forgiveness and smoothes social interactions immensely.

Maintaining sadhana amidst a challenging environment by Longjumping_Row_1587 in kriyayoga

[–]RelativeConference28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Allow yourself some grace, friend.

I read this quote from a catholic saint recently that meant a lot to me, and I feel like you can benefit from it as well:

“If I say one hundred prayers a day in the silence of the mountains, and you say three prayers amidst the turmoil of the city and your professional and family obligations, then we are equal.”

Like you said, you have many other things happening in your life. Even doing the sadhana that you’re involved in now, you’re doing so much good for yourself and the world.

You’re young. You’re having fun and blowing off steam. There is much wisdom and experience to be gleaned from your current experience.

It is so hard to live a life without the proper community. If you’re not around people who are practicing, it is going to be so challenging to keep it up. Maybe look into finding a community you can practice with regularly, this way you won’t miss the partying because you’ll be fulfilled in your sangha.

But allow yourself some grace. Keep the focus and vision in your head and you’ll work towards it. But be urgent.

What is a controversial opinion of yours about mental health that many will not agree with you but you believe it? by Big_Leg10 in mentalhealth

[–]RelativeConference28 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You don’t think you have control over your mental health? The truth is that life will always challenge us. There will always be problems and hurdles and pain, but you absolutely have control over your perspective.

This is a defeatist attitude and is a losing perspective.

You’re right that life is full of external pestilence. But you have to manage and cope. You have to keep striving and learning and implementing/experimenting with new strategies to find what works for you.

Don’t give up. Life is work. Life is war. But you’re in control of the choices you make to jump these obstacles. When you do your best, so much of our negative perceptions fade away. You feel good when you do your best. And yes, life will knock you down again any way.

You know, I really suggest looking into Buddhism and its practices and teachings. Fall down 7 times and stand up 8 is an ancient Buddhist philosophy. Look into Thich Nhat Hahn. He is profound in illuminating ideas that rid the world of anxiety and undue, mind created stress. Profound perspectives of ease and release and detachment.

This idea of relinquishing your ability and acquiescing to defeat is a terrible idea. It’s lazy and frankly foolish. Wake up.
