the correct amount of gatekeeping is not zero

[kasra @kasratweets]

a meditation teacher I talked to once said that they no longer talk about the very edge of their work with others, because they found that every time they did this it would jinx their progress. I think this is a great strategy and I want to commit to it more and more. there is such a strong temptation to boast about your mystical experiences and your practice and your progress, especially in a community like ours where that kind of thing is celebrated. it's good to celebrate this stuff, but, depending on your psychological makeup, that celebration and adulation can become the doorway to even more subtle ego

silent cave retreat but the cave is an anechoic chamber

as someone with a long driving commute this is ~correct but it’s quite possible to spend the time sending metta or doing some awareness practices which feels quite nice

[Adam Singer @AdamSinger]

Reminder not having a long commute is one of the biggest life upgrades. You never normalize against this, like you would a very good or very bad event (the commuting paradox, described in the Scandinavian Journal of Economics). Moving closer to work or going remote is worth it

what if you're really adhd/cptsd and you wanna try becoming productive but willpower doesn't seem to work, so you research what are the prerequisites to being productive, and you realize that emotional management seems to be important (bc youre avoiding your most important work bc it gives you the most extreme panic, for wtvr reason), so you research what makes people good w their emotions and you find meditation/therapy - but you can't really meditate or even relax properly for like 5 minutes without feeling overwhelmed, so you try to figure out wtf is going on there, and you end up debugging a large amount of your self-hate w/ some emotional exercises and that makes meditating easier, but you still get overwhelmed by trying to relax, so you try to keep figuring out WTF is going on here, and eventually you land on this hypothesis that fixing insecure attachment seems to be an incredibly important thing that makes therapy/meditation a lot easier (bc it's one of the first things you develop that skews how you see the world and how you see yourself, like apparently you develop a representation of "is the world safe" and "what happens when i need something" when youre 0-12 months old before you develop the narrative memory system at 2-4 years), and you hear that one exercise that is really effective for this is imagining fictional ideal parent figures who gave you incredible safety, attunment, soothing, delight, and support, and so you try this exercise and it feels like you're finally processing this huge backlog of rage and sadness and frustration that wanted to come out and was clogging up everything (including the productivity) and you are optimistic that this might work and might solve your biggest bottleneck to working hard on good things

[James Stuber 🌱🌿🌳🍂 @uberstuber]

@strangestloop not knowing what my bottleneck is

[James Stuber 🌱🌿🌳🍂 @uberstuber]
