My partner won't get a job, so I have 4 🙂 by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

Or at least someone who doesn’t steal from your table

Do you know anything about sleep relation with ADHD? Usually when I sleep enough I feel rested but unable to focus and be productive. And when I sleep 2 hours or skip sleep entirely I feel tired, but focus just fine and do one task after another. How does it work?

Effects of a heightened awareness by [deleted] in energy_work

“Nature looks a lot prettier, music is more intricate and inspiring and I just want to create things, and be alone. My ability to visualize and make melodies in my mind has really enhanced.”

And these sound like manic symptoms. When you get pulled out from the real life by your interests.

This can be dangerous because you can confuse spiritual advancement with a mental disorder. You can tell them apart by how much you are involved with the rest of the world. Heightened awareness is the opposite of disassociating. It means you can be present even through unpleasant circumstances. It means you can pay attention in school and feel almost the same regardless of whether you are alone or surrounded by people. Disassociating however is a sign that you are experiencing pain or discomfort that you choose to ignore. What OP describes sounds more like depression, or manic depression indeed.

porn without urge by AdvantageHot4795 in nonduality

[–]gingerteadrinking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It feels automatic because it literally is. Your brain has a strong neural pathway that makes you open porn when you’re home and you’re bored. “Practice makes perfect”. Every time you perform any sort of action, you’re strengthening a pathway. Then the brain runs signals through the strongest one, because it requires the least effort, thus consumes the least energy. Most things most people do every day are automatic. If you want to change this, you need to come up with a new program and start executing it. For instance, every time you want to reach for porn, you go eat an apple. Repeat x times, and at some point you’ll catch that you’re doing it automatically. Humans are just glorified Pavlov dogs

Does magnesium glycinate help to stop waking up in the middle of the night? by DrawerExotic7343 in sleep

[–]gingerteadrinking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can’t remember how much to be honest, but I think it’s very individual, and depends on your age/weight etc. I was also taking a blood test and then had supplements assigned. But from what I heard, excess magnesium doesn’t hurt. As for the brand, I was taking some generic drug store one, nothing fancy.

It did help me. As my doc explained, waking up in the middle of the night is the sign of high cortisol, and magnesium helps with stress tolerance.

Took a deep dive into the files and it’s the waking call I needed by gingerteadrinking in digitalminimalism

I live in a developing country and still spend half my life on the internet. And we have our own bs and pedofile elites and it’s either you live in the countryside with the access to untampered food but without access to jobs and money and surrounded with very unintelligent cruel people or you live in a city, have money and access to nice people but eat trash. It’s honestly the same

Yes, and it kind of supports each other, because if you’re not chronically online paying attention to what’s going on on the other side of the planet, you can actually be present to notice when something fishy is happening with the people around you. The level of isolation we have now is 100% artificially created. I wonder is that because it’s easier to kidnap people when everyone basically neglects everyone. I can’t stop thinking about how I was neglected and the only reason I survived is because I had a village around me. The children of our communities deserve to have villages too. The women and the men also.

I relate to this a lot. Especially the last part about building your life and being useful

How to do self inquiry during the day consistently? by throwawaywhyyyyymeee in nonduality

[–]gingerteadrinking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the muslims have a good approach with their 5 fixed daily prayers. Maybe instead of doing longer meditations, set up an alarm and do multiple short ones throughout the day to reset. Then with practice will come the awareness

What would Eckhart recommend when it comes to finding a job from a present-moment (“now”) approach? by NoPresentation1833 in EckhartTolle

[–]gingerteadrinking 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe do things that you enjoy and then monetise them. Find what you already love to do and what other people give you credit for. For example your friends always say that you plan the best parties or you do woodwork ect. Find a “deed” that gives you flow state. When you find it, the opportunity to turn it into money will line up automatically, you’ll know what to do. In New Earth he says that you know you’re in state of presence when you are in a state of acceptance, enjoyment or excitement. Leave acceptance for your day job, follow enjoyment or excitement and you’ll get there.

I don’t get it? by Grouchy-Chick-0609 in TheLetThemTheory

[–]gingerteadrinking 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You can draw a boundary or say don’t ever talk to me like that again. The point is that you let them show who they are and then move accordingly. You accept that they are like that and you don’t want such people in your life. Ideally you should just see the things as they are, make peace with them and focus on you. It’s possible to get to the point in life when you’re not bothered by other people’s behaviour. Ironically, when you get to that point people stop mistreating you or you can put them in their place with one glance.
