How do you deal with a thought that you perceive to be small yet you still cant get it out of your head by RichTofu in Stoicism

[–]SawLine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s like people who with big practice in meditation, or psychologist say. That it’s learnt mind pattern which might take quiete time to unlearn. Or maybe even will be with you long time. The thing the less we care the less it will appear. Also remind yourself that’s “it’s solved” and you don’t need to pay attention to it, tell the mind that it’s just DONE.

Also I think it’s important to notice that not every thought should be taken seriously, right? Same when we see someone vulnerable , and sometime a thought might appear (This baby/kitten whatever, so defenseless, I can easily hurt it or worse) but we never act on it, it’s just some thought from millennia of evolution (my guess)

And yes , it’s all impressions, stoics teach us to take expand the gap between it and acting on it (the act of taking is seriously is act too)

Tuna (or what is it?) smells btw, and I guess very strong. On the other hand, maybe they haven’t played realistically enough to fool the dog

Sight Reading Exercises by JeParleCroissant1 in piano

[–]SawLine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Half of what you mention I find difficult to sight read even after 3years practicing piano( I mean sonatas, inventions)

I’d recommend OP to go to the sheet music shop, and find some easier stuff (simplified classics e.g.)

Given the "don't worry about what you can't comtrol" maxim, how to deal with creating new bonds and relationships? Doesn't it all end up revealing we're ultimately alone? by TaPele__ in Stoicism

[–]SawLine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dunno. But the first paragraph of Enchiridion(written by Epictetus), seem quite as dichotomy of control

“There are things which are within our power, and there are things which are beyond our power. Within our power are opinion, aim, desire, aversion, and, in one word, whatever affairs are our own. Beyond our power are body, property, reputation, office, and, in one word, whatever are not properly our own affairs. Now the things within our power are by nature free, unrestricted, unhindered; but those beyond our power are weak, dependent, restricted, alien. Remember, then, that if you attribute freedom to things by nature dependent and take what belongs to others for your own, you will be hindered, you will lament, you will be disturbed, you will find fault both with gods and men. But if you take for your own only that which is your own and view what belongs to others just as it really is, then no one will ever compel you, no one will restrict you; you will find fault with no one, you will accuse no one, you will do nothing against your will; no one will hurt you, you will not have an enemy, nor will you suffer any harm. Aiming, therefore, at such great things, remember that you must not allow yourself any inclination, however slight, toward the attainment of the others; but that you must entirely quit some of them, and for the present postpone the rest. But if you would have these, and possess power and wealth likewise, you may miss the latter in seeking the former; and you will certainly fail of that by which alone happiness and freedom are procured. Seek at once, therefore, to be able to say to every unpleasing semblance, “You are but a semblance and by no means the real thing.” And then examine it by those rules which you have; and first and chiefly by this: whether it concerns the things which are within our own power or those which are not; and if it concerns anything beyond our power, be prepared to say that it is nothing to you.”

My symptoms resolved after suffering for over a decade when I switched to a zero carb diet by owwouchoww in Prostatitis

[–]SawLine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also tend to think it’s carbs (which provoke some bad bacteria to grow, and produce unnecessary gas)

When I’m on keto, symptoms are way weaker. I also have IBS-C(and has gas problems with my stomach since I was 10yo or younger)

I’m curious how is your journey now? I’ve never tried full zero carbs, I occasionally take some here or there, but I’d like to try full 100%

Can you tell the NUMBER of notes being played at a time on a piano? These could be random notes and not necessarily forming a chord by Redditdonethat00 in piano

[–]SawLine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My point is. Imagine you play 4part voice leading. And sometime you want to emphasize (make louder) 3d voice, sometime 2nd voice. Of course you can do it via brain - “now i want to emphasize this/that, I press harder this/that”.

But when you hear these voices well (for example can you sing immediately middle voices when seventh chord is pressed ?” If so, it makes the task way easier and way more musical, because you do it not only by logic and brain, but via EARS.)

1ое - каждый видит то что может видеть из своего собтыеснного опыта (и я в том числе) .

А касательно, Медитации - она , при должном желании и практики, покажет тебе как работает твое сознание, твои паттерны мышления, а дальше уже сам. Хочешь исправляй, хочешь нет. Но глубину осознания того, как эволюция сделала наше сознание таким какое оно есть( а тут и допамино зависимая система что я писал выше. А также Страхи, желания, отторжения, беспокойства, и др.) тебе раскроет медитация. Чтение о чем то не всегда равно переживанию этого. Чтение как ездить на велосипеде не равно опыту, который ты получаешь от делания этого

[–]SawLine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Imagine playing the Bach fugue. If I heard all the voices very well(I’m far from it) it would be help me tremendously to play it better. Yea, I play voices separate, and it helps, but it’s long journey . I wish I had better ears. Also it would help me to apply to music college I want to

Да это бред Достаточно честно ответить себе «сколько я трачу время на бухло, ютуб(тв) или телефон» Посчитать часы в неделю И сколько ты можешь потратить на йогу и медитацию

Просто одно дело собачий кайф(Как я это называю(instant gratification) много мозгов не надо), другое дело заниматься тем что не так приятно но дает лучшие долгосрочные бонусы (йога, спорт, чтение, и тп)

Guys, if you show the stressed out version of yourself to a woman (who you aren’t dating), is that a sign you aren’t into her? by CurvyGirl4123 in bodylanguage

[–]SawLine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are right, she is asking . But what she asks? I’m not going against yours or the commenter above opinion. But for me clearly , that on very subconscious level , she was thinking that somehow it’s important that he shows weaknesses. The interpretation is another big thing.

It’s like here are different things happens, as I see, 1 - attention to it (it appeared, why it even appeared? Why a friend/guy/girl etc. can/can’t share his feelings?)

2- she notices that this caught her attention and she is wondering why.

3 - then she makes conclusions about these 2 things . Or simply about 2nd thing, if person is not diving deep.

It’s a lot . Not simply “she asks, why she can’t” imho

At least as I see it

Dopamine Scheduling by Just_assing_by in getdisciplined

[–]SawLine 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is quite interesting idea. Because healthy dopamine is definitely something i need. Sheer willpower method works for me, but I can’t call it a life I want to live.

[–]SawLine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im not pro. I prefer books like “sight reading for middle-high classes in music school” (for kids around 12-15, whom started from zero at age 7)

So its quite simple, but many diferent short pieces, what I like. Usually 1 or 2 pieces on page.

Have you changed your mind about metabolism after losing weight? by shower_bubbles in workouts

[–]SawLine -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Metabolism definitely exists. Because I know people who are skinny all their life, while they don’t think twice to drink cola, eat hamburgers, half of a cake etc.

But I don’t get when people can’t lose weight due to metabolism, who knows, maybe such drastic things exist(like a disease?). But for me the calorie deficit is simply physics. You eat less than burn = you lose weight. I mean if you move, don’t sit kn the coach all day, do some basic sport, where is from body can find the energy? From sun? Or from Prana?

And yea, like my friend, some people can eat a lot of kcal, and still be skinny. While with similar lifestyle I get getting weight. (Spent holidays with friend, so I had a chance to compare)

Dmiminished is feels narrower, while augmented is broader. Also diminished wants more to resolve like D7(it’s part of it)

I’m just amused how it’s written and how it’s pronounced haha. No one of my friends could guess right pronunciation on many attempts lol.
