whenever I feel the urge to pull out my phone, I check to see if there's something I don't want to feel, and 9/10 times there's some bodily uneasiness I'm avoiding (including now)
Other side of this experience: I started making a lot more friends when I stopped resisting the feeling of "being wrong" by breaking its (false) association with "being dumb"
@nosilverv One time I saw the sky and I saw the floaters in my eyeball and I was like "hey, that's me!" and I realized it was all me. I am everything. And I laughed myself silly as if I had just been let in on some grand cosmic joke.
so this shift just happened where i stopped worrying if i'm loved
and i'm just focused on loving - literally just asking "what could i do to make ___ happy" and then doing it
i even just tried asking it about myself as though i was a person i cared for and 😭
@m_ashcroft@strangestloop@DoroisDoro@the_wilderless How did you make mornings feel good? I'm going to bed early but getting up and out of bed is still such a struggle because mornings feel bad. I think I need broader physiological shifts but still curious what your answer is
@QiaochuYuan@jessicavellela Guessing the underlying answer is that it diverts energy away from digestion and slows enzymatic processes, thereby making digestion less efficient
@chrislakin This is exactly how I described ADHD medication to friends. It felt less like it upped focus, and more like it made my emotions stop getting in the way uncontrollably, so I could *choose* what to put attention on, vs an attention war between the conscious and subconscious
@nickcammarata How do you find suppliers/farms that actually treat animals well vs marketing/bs? People say visit local farms but that's impractical for most. I think there are lots of people who would pay for better animal welfare with better info/direction
