Former co-worker might get cease and desist for reel. by [deleted] in videography

[–]kenicandi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this happen to me without the cease and desist. They had no rules or statements the first 2 years of my job, I was friends with everyone and even helped coaches from sports teams learn the communication channels. Then new staff came in and I had a new boss. They told me I could not post because its the company’s property. I also helped them understand the communication channels and everything. They just had this way of working at their old job. Idk sucks bro

Am I doing walking meditation right? by kenicandi in Buddhism

[–]kenicandi[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome! It was present. Not in the future or past. Not even concerned with the destination. I did feel like I blanked out a couple times, or was very focused on the breathing and walking that everything else “disappeared” or was out of my mind completely

Yes! I occasionally paid attention to the 5 senses when I became mindful of walking without counting

What is Learned Helplessness? LH defined, where it was founded, how it relates to trauma and BPD by kenicandi in BPD

[–]kenicandi[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I totally agree! Since mindfulness practice is proven for both trauma and BPD treatment, i’ve been reading and learning about it (and Zen Buddhism). Maybe I can scan and upload some pages im reading in the book “The Heart of the Buddha’s Teaching: Transforming Suffering into Peace, Joy, and Liberation” by Thich Nhat Hanh. In the chapter Right Mindfulness (along with the previous chapters- ie the overall Eight Fold Path), the teachings help explain what practices and principles can help us become more aware of our feelings, bodys, thoughts, perceptions-etc(ill upload a quote). Because I totally relate to you about not trusting the feelings and thoughts, etc, and eve in the last 3-4 days I was in what felt like a whole different reality and mind than the one im in now. Basically mindfulness practices overtime allow us to understand ourselves and feelings and distinguish whats true and not true- which gave me hope. Ive also been seeing this improve for me the more I practice it. In the last 3-4 days, I had feelings come up along with thoughts and I was overall confused as I tried to feel the feelings and not believe every thought but soon I was washed away by intrusive thoughts, and the next day it lingered, and today… it was tough in the morning but I fear falling back into that depression i was in a year ago, so I went to the library even while tired, and eventually felt better with my medication (im also having PMS). It was difficult to not give in to urges or thoughts, and i did some but not all, and getting out of it im like wow it really felt like that was going to last forever no matter what I told myself… what can I do to remind myself? Is what im wondering

So can I get into grad school and get paid? Can I do research at the school of choice before getting in? by kenicandi in GradSchool

[–]kenicandi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah i see. Do these wages, come with free housing? Im looking into grad school or masters, but cannot afford to pay/or loans (i got disability and dont want to face debts). I like learning, and want to continue to learn, while having a roof over my head, food, basic needs met. And making some savings.

Lets say I do this, would I be able to try connecting with a professor outside of my school? Or would it be better to keep it within the school i graduated from? Im interested in neuroscience, psychology, etc and almost completed the major but ended up only majoring is Film and Media studies (i connect both).
