if you're into meditation, you'll probably enjoy this piece a lot.
if you're not into it, or you plan on responding below in a way that suggests you didn't read the article -- you'll appear somewhat as proof of what the article contends. but even if you don't meditate or even spend time on social media, you'll completely understand the weird physical feeling you get from a disturbing thought (a remembrance of a past embarrassment, for example), and the similar feeling you get when you are hit with a tweet (or whatever) that irks you.
the analogy fits: the feelings arising from thinking a troubling thought are almost no different than the feelings arising from reading an upsetting tweet.
the conclusion is to operate social media the same way you monitor your own thoughts - which is to examine what the thought might actually be, and then disarm and discard it. which is what one does often in meditation.
I will post pictures of the final product soon, after I wiped the grease off my phone.
@derrickhhurd what is the formula of your success? How has it changed over the years?
“I’m sitting in the middle”
Of a freak show.
Also known as an ‘Emergency Room’ waiting area.
My ever-beautiful soulmate is experiencing ‘Bradycardia’, or extremely low pulse.
She had an episode yesterday wherein she was disoriented and had tingling in her face. It was shortly after she’d taken her blood pressure meds, ergo we assumed that to be the cause. I made her lie down and she seemed to improve.
Today, she made an appointment to see her physician to check if it was her blood pressure meds, as she has lost around 35 lbs since it was first prescribed.
Since it was just a few miles away, she took herself.
Approximately an hour later, she called and told me to get a ride to the doctor’s office to take her to the emergency room. As she had driven ‘The Dude’. They had made her promise to go straight to the hospital or they would call an ambulance.
They may make her stay the night because they may need to install a pacemaker.
I hope it’s that simple.
