So let’s say I check all those boxes; what then?
I think they forgot “drop everything to make an intricately colored and formatted list”
The last point should say “… and stop halfway, because I don’t feel like it anymore”.
Or “… but get stuck halfway because I found something interesting in one of the drawers.”In my case: stop halfway because you opened a drawer and found it needed fixing, and that is how I bought a metal lathe and didn’t clean the house for 3 months as I learned to turn my own knobs…. The didn’t touch it for a year.
Just toss it into that huge pile of ex-hobbies.
What, cleaning?
Thin line between seeing yourself and catharsis, and hating one’s self
Does the last one result in giving up after less than an hour for most people too?
I’ve never once in my waking life been without thought. I’ve always assumed it’s impossible to actually be clear of thought. I’ve meditated and can hold a thought if need be, but never can I outright clear them away.
It takes immense practice, and I’ve found focusing on quiet music helps. It also helps if you like to practice Wake Induced Lucid Dreaming. You just ease into any thoughts that might come across.
The way I learned meditation is you’re not going to be rid of every single thought, so instead focus on sounds, focus on your breathin, be nice to yourself if a thougt does occur, and then try to focus back onto nothingness/w.e works for you.
30 minutes a day has really helped me feel more in control, when I can remember atleast.
It’s why I used to smoke weed until the panic attacks forced me to stop…
I just want to shut my brain off and I can’t.
Wait, are you actually supposed to be able to just stop thinking?
Some people do apparently. Me I’m like OP its a constant stream of thought. Evening as typing this I’m actively reading the words.
I can sometimes get down to only one level of thought, but generally I have multiple tracks of thoughts going at once. It’s probably why I’m primarily inattentive lol.
too much stimulation inside my brain, gotta shut down now
Have you tried drowning out every thought with extremely loud music? /s (don’t do this tinnitus sucks and it’s permanent)
Techno does this for me (but not no thoughts it just drowns out thoughts about things I’m not focussing on)
Jokes on you, I was practically born with tinnitus and didn’t know it wasn’t normal until my mid-20’s so child me normalized the fuck out of it!
Also, no thoughts head empty is only attained by the brain shutting off because its too tired to keep up any threads, but forgets to close the eyes/get ready to be off (aka go to bed).
I read this list in a completely random order starting in the middle. ¯\(ツ)/¯
Forget zodiac signs, which point did you start reading at?
rainbow hungry. It was eyecatching and very relatable. Although i wouldn’t call it hunger, just ‘I am bored and must eat’
No eat, only hyperfocus. While I was eating some toast.
Another wacky meme that describes 70% of my kid’s personality in one go, thanks
