Today felt like a really heavy Monday, and I don’t even work. So here’s some dessert. 🍊🍌🍪🥥
It's not exactly a hot take to say shit’s been rough. Between 2022 and 2024, I went through some really dark fucking times—depression, anxiety, insomnia—the whole mental health bingo card.
But I clawed my way out, with the help of friends, family, and a daily routine that includes exercise and #mindfulness meditation.
Now before you roll your eyes, I’m not talking about joining a cult or burning incense while sitting in lotus pose whispering "ommm." I’m talking about shutting up the fucking monkey brain. The nonstop overthinking that wrecks your day and relationships.
I started doing short daily meditations with Tara Brach (look her up, she and her partner have free shit online), and it’s helped me become less reactive, more grounded, and less of an asshole to myself and others.
If we’re gonna survive this capitalist hellscape—mentally, physically, spiritually—we’ve got to take care of ourselves and each other. …

Take your mental health seriously. You’re no good to the struggle if your brain’s on fire.
A lot of what people are calling #FOMO is actually something else.
When you go to bed and within 5 seconds of not falling asleep you grab your phone for some light entertainment, thats not fear of missing out!
Its FOT - fear of thinking.
You fear that thinking will make you feel sad about the world and your part in it.
#mindfulness doesn't teach you to stop thinking. It teaches you to stop fearing your thoughts, to stop judging your emotions and to turn your negative feelings into positive actions.
Empowerment is the only antidot for powerlessness.
Miss out on the distractions and concentrate on solutions.

In this beautifully written book, Buddhist monk and Nobel Peace Prize nominee Thích Nhất Hạnh …
I've read from others that they consider Thích Nhất Hạnh's The Miracle of Mindfulness to be useful only to beginning meditators, but I think it is so much more than that. Especially with the context given in translator Mobi Ho's introduction that the book was originally written as a long letter, and then having read the book myself as someone who has been meditating for years, it is clear to me that the book is equally valuable or perhaps even more valuable as an inspiring reminder to practice and how practice can be done.
Beyond the main text of the letter, I was impressed by the list of practices and the selection of suttas/sutras at the end. I have read very few manuals of meditation which left with the feeling that they were enough to cultivate a practice, but this one is written and put together in such a way …

Por influencia de un amigo al que aprecio estoy haciendo un curso de "mindfulness", una especie de práctica de meditación entre el budismo y el individualismo contemporáneo. Hm??! No sé, igual no es justo eso último. Ya veis... :-P Supongo que en parte por curiosidad. También para tener motivos de conversación con mi madre que hace desde hace tiempo algo parecido --- en torno al "silencio". De momento, sigo entre la curiosidad y un cierto escepticismo sobre las cuestiones más "espirituales" y las relativas a la subjetividad. Sí que me va bien, para la relajación y para tratar de mantener a raya la ansiedad.
Aquí algo de descripción y una crítica que me pareció interesante:

When all the other channels are 😱, tune into the garden channel instead. ☃️
Every time I want to search for something, I'm showed the trends and inevitably lose 5 minutes and 10 #attention hitpoints.
Can I switch it off? Default off toggle? Using mastodon web-app, could change.
There once was a young girl named Viola,
Who strolled through Europe with no parola,
She walked the cities with glee,
Finding friends, just like me,
In her adventure, friendship was her sola.
