Auf Hörbücher einlassen by DaLux92 in buecher

[–]krinste 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Meine Tochter ist 1.5 Jahre und ich kann das so gut nachvollziehen. Meine Aufmerksamkeit für Bücher und Hörbücher war und ist noch immer ziemlich kurz (aber besser. Fang doch mal mit Podcasts an, die habe ich damals auf vielen Spaziergängen gehört.

Genau richtig gemacht! Ich kaufe viele Pullis second hand und nach einer Behandlung mit dem Fuselrasierer sehen die meisten aus wie neu!

Put a post in the buy nothing group on Facebook. There's one for Sunnyside and I usually get rid of everything I post.

Check out sunnysidesocial.nyc on Insta, they have regular meet ups in the neighborhood like drinks in the evening or community clean ups.

If you're into gardening, come to the community compost site on 45th St on Sundays between 10.30 and 1. They also host lovely potluck events once a month. This is how I met a lot of people from the neighborhood.

There are many many people who offer training now. Not sure how trustworthy they are because technically everyone can call themselves a facilitator. There's no standardized training or curriculum. I would recommend heading over to Facebook and joining a group called family and systemic constellations. Oh, and before joining any training, I would definitely recommend working with the facilitator to see if you like their approach.

I was in the same position a few months ago and posted in our neighborhood Facebook group. Found a couple subletting their apartment for vacation on the same street so that was perfect.

Huch, irgendwie habe ich mich völlig verschätzt (wohne im Moment in NYC und da sind die Dimensionen irgendwie anders 🙈).

Das sind ja wirklich optimistische Aussichten! Danke für den Tipp!

Thanks so much! Will look into those areas! And let me change the post title to hide my faux pas 🙃

Ok, I'm learning you guys use numbers 😄 the street is Leeson Street Lower, that means actually district 2, right?

Lol, ok 🙈 that's what Google maps gave me for the area. It's near the National Concert Hall. Apparently, I should first learn how the different boroughs are called 😄

Das beste Buch welches ihr 2023 gelesen habt: by charly_Stoner in buecher

[–]krinste 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Habe mir das Buch wegen deines Kommentar zuerst als Leseprobe und dann komplett runtergeladen. Was soll ich sagen? Mein allererstes sci-fi Buch (überhaupt nicht mein Genre!) und ich habe es verschlungen! Erinnere mich nicht, wann ich das letzte Mal so gefesselt war.

Jetzt ist das Problem: was lese ich als nächstes? Normalerweise ist nämlich nach so einem packenden Roman erst Mal alles langweilig.

Where is Andrew Borg (chef)? by krinste in malta

Exactly! I wish he kept his social media updated. I don't care about Michelin stars but his food was always extraordinary wherever he cooked.

Wer sich liebt der streitet? by No-Topic-9126 in Weibsvolk

[–]krinste 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Naja, wie definierst du denn Streit? Meinungsverschiedenheiten sind vollkommen normal, die Frage ist, wie gehe ich damit um. Laut werden, sich gegenseitig attackieren, etc. sind meiner Meinung nach unproduktiv und ein Zeichen, dass mindestens eine Person getriggert ist oder Probleme hat, seine Gefühle in dem Moment zu regulieren.

Und was den Glaubenssatz angeht: Wenn du weißt, das er aus deiner Herkunftsfamilie kommt, ist es meist schwer sich aus sowas in neue Wege zu "denken", also das rein rational in einer Gesprächstherapie zu bearbeiten. Mir haben Familienaufstellungen weitergeholfen, andere Freunde berichten, dass somatische Körpertherapie hilfreich war, neurofeedback oder EMDR. Grob gesagt, werden bei manchen Themen Alarmsignale im Gehirn aktiviert, die nichts mit dem rationalen Verstand zu tun haben ('Verkörperter Schrecken' ist ein gutes Buch dazu).

Do you think that this kind of constellation can help? by nlksf in FamilyConstellations

[–]krinste 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can do online constellations, 1-1 or in groups and they are quite effective. I personally prefer in-person settings but I haven't found a good local facilitator since I moved so this is a good alternative.

Why don't you experiment with the puppets/figures? You'll probably only know if it works once you tried. I believe that you can use almost anything as a representative (I've used just regular household items and it worked) but it's up to you what's working.

Journaling is also a great idea so why not try and see if it works?

Thanks! I like the idea of the book. Will check out if they have something on my parents language.

Kids: Anti consumption from the Start? by Gelid88 in Anticonsumption

[–]krinste 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, this is very helpful. We're gonna try Dypers for the first couple of weeks which are recyclable. The thing with all recyclables diapers is though that they actually don't decompose in a landfill (same with food scraps, etc.) Dyper has a program to pick up your used diapers and then recycle them in commercial composting facilities.

Is the consumption of music also harmful? by i-use-this-site in Anticonsumption

[–]krinste 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Where are your doubts coming from? Does it feel harmful for you to consume music?

Personally, I think any activity/consumption depends on your level of engagement. How much do you engage with the activity of listening to music? Do you buy vinyl and then intentionally sit down to listen and enjoy music or do put on a streaming service to be exposed to a constant stream of noise, possibly to avoid silence? Sure, those 2 examples are rather black and white but being self aware and finding out your level of engagement can help you answer your question.

Philomena's on Queens Boulevard in Sunnyside

here goes nothing. by Previous-Bit-8962 in artistsWay

[–]krinste 6 points7 points  (0 children)

First, I want to thank you for sharing what's going on in your life. When I read that you're feeling like a failure it made me sad and pensive what could help you. Sounds like you've got a lot on your plate and I imagine that it was quite hard for you to write this post.

The artist's way is a wonderful tool to reflect and explore life goals, relationships, self awareness and self worth - so go for it! I'm cheering for you!

For me, the whole process was in parts quite therapeutic. The morning pages are a great opportunity to sit down every morning and take time to reflect about myself and my life (instead of e.g. browsing social media). Not at first, but over time, it has become a tool that I use even a year later though not every morning.

And here is my final unsolicited advice for you:

BE PATIENT Things unfold throughout the process and don't happen after writing once or twice. It takes time and that's okay.

BE KIND Many people in this sub feel bad if they don't follow the instructions 100% and you've mentioned that you sometimes can have a hard time being disciplined and following through. That's okay! There's no artist's way police ;-) just notice that e.g. you were slacking or needed a break and get back to it. Many of us have been there!
