  • I am new refugee to lemmy

  • Sometimes I feel like we should change the rules in the sidebar to just that.

  • Please keep all replies on topic. People should be able to have a discussion about the term without devolving into personal attacks.

  • I enjoyed this speaker and the different take on slowing our anxious thoughts down. I'm glad I found it later at night, when I don't have time to fall into a twelve-hour Ted Talk rabbit hole like I usually do when I come across one of these videos. Thanks for posting!

  • Hi there! Thanks for posting in YSK. It seems at the moment, this post is coming across as less than accurate. Will you do me a favor and update it to include the fact that accreditation is not the same as traditional colleges and the estimated prices that were found in the Wiki? That way it won't get reported and possibly removed.

    New Reddit refugee here. Question on moderation

  • OP has received their answer, and I don't think it would be productive to continue this discussion here, so I am locking the post.

  • Lemmy's version of NSQ also prohibits replies that are mean or mocking the OP. We encourage asking any question that doesn't break the rules.

    Question regarding a small amount of crypto

    Jump

  • Hi there. Hope you're enjoying NSQ. Rule 1 in the sidebar states that every post must have a question in the title. It makes it easier for people to browse the community. Will you edit your post to follow the rue? Thanks for posting!

  • Weird that no-one has crossposted this yet, especially considering it mentions the community directly.

  • Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We have updated rule 4. Posts that mention suicide are now allowed with proper flags and warnings so people who may feel triggered can avoid them.

  • The mod team and I have been working hard at making this a space where everyone feels heard and supported. It's difficult to make sure we are allowing people to talk freely about whatever they need to talk about, but not ending up with a time-sensitive crisis that we as volunteers don't have the tools to manage properly. We will definitely rethink that rule and ways to re-word it. We are always open to talking about the rules and what needs to change to make people feel comfortable posting here.

  • I feel the same. I can see why other people would buy it, but I'm not on a contract so I need the price on the foldables to come down to a reasonable point before I would bite. The upside to that is that while I'm waiting for it to happen, they are also working out the kinks and I can make an informed decision on which model is worth the money I'll have to pay for it.

  • I'm not sure what the benefits would be there, either. The small form factor may be nice for people who have to carry it in their pocket, but I'm not sure if it would be worth it for me personally. It seems cell phones are always either trending ever larger or smaller, and this particular lineup sort of covers both angles.

  • It can be whatever you need it to be if it is soothing to you. If you let those worries come and acknowledge them instead of trying to hold them back, you care for yourself in the way you need to be cared for. Just keep breathing in an even way and examine the worry. Is it something that needs to be taken care of or no? Make note of it as a "for later me" thing and return to focusing on your breath and the task.

  • Thank you! I have been trying for years to stay on the path to mindfulness, but only recently has it really clicked that even when life is difficult or busy, it's not a chore-it's a relief to go back to my practice.

  • I was surprised at how many replies I've gotten. I am probably subscribed to both communities already. I should ]probably post there once in a while, too.

  • I'm sure it's different for everyone. For me, it's about recognizing that every day is a gift and I should do what I can to acknowledge the beauty that is around me. My body, my home that shelters me, my family and friends, my city and surrounding state... it's all beautiful and all I have to do is take a few moments throughout each day to take it in while focusing on my breath.

    I meditate while walking or cooking most days. I have a system for walking, where I know how many breaths I normally take while walking and breathing at a slow but steady pace. I start on the left foot and breath in, then switch to exhaling always on the right foot at the right amount of steps. It takes some practice but the whole point of it is to get some exercise and take in the scenery while breathing and focusing on your breath in the background of your mind. I live in a cold area, so when I first learned this I even used it as a method to walk around the house and pick things up that need to be put away since I oculdn['t get outside much.

    When I'm cooking I enjoy the process and do it like the article I posted, letting my mind wander if it needs to for a few minutes and then bringing it back to my body and breath for a few seconds, and focusing on the food again. Cooking is something I love to do, so it's easy to meditate while focusing on the aromas and the colors and just in the background of my brain making sure my breathing is even.

  • Personally, if I'm doing something that I find monotonous, I just focus on my breath and my body. You don't have to find joy in the one thing you're doing to meditate while doing it. You can shift the joy to just your breath and your body being a gift to you because you woke up today.

    If I feel the need, I also allow my mind to do whatever it feels the need to for a little bit, which is usually planning for something that makes me anxious or thinking about something that happened earlier, then bring my thoughts back to just my breath and my body for a few seconds, and refocus on the thoughts that crept in. It's okay to allow whatever thoughts want to creep up in, and then accept and acknowledge what you want to think about and why.

    You can continue doing the dishes and meditate while allowing your mind to focus on the thoughts that wanted to creep in. You don't have to block it all out. Just acknowledge it and make it part of the experience. Once you've acknowledged the other thoughts, you may find you can mix the two together--I'm anxious about this thing coming up, but I also appreciate the warm water running over my hands right now.

  • I also wait until the bugs get worked out. That's why I haven't tried a foldable yet-I'm still keeping an eye on the new versions to see which one seems to be what I'm looking for.
