Just a simple example I googled:
- Sit in a quiet, comfortable place.
- Set a short time limit if you’re a beginner (e.g., 5–10 minutes).
- Focus on your breath and notice bodily sensations.
- Gently return your focus to your breath when distractions occur.
With body sensations, you can focus on the taste in your mouth for a minute, then switch to sounds you hear, how your fingertips feel etc. I usually close my eyes to better focus on each sensation. Just relax and gently observe what you experience right now.

I agree 100%. It’s a shame, because pretty much everyone would benefit from just trying to meditate once in a while.

These are some of the most common problems people seek therapy for, and there are several methods therapists teach to address these, such as meditation and mindfulness. It takes practice, but they have a lot of potential to help with intrusive, snowballing thoughts. You can practice anytime and mostly anywhere, but doing it is the hard part.

No, then you are the Toronto airport. Which the song title refers to.
- Comment on How would I describe myself? 1 month ago:
It depends on how you feel. For instance, I have a few friends that are born in Norway, but their parents are Vietnamese. Those friends would always described themselves as Vietnamese while in Norway; they are a part of that community, their ancestry is important to them etc. While traveling abroad however, they would say they are Norwegian. The context is different, and citizenship is more relevant. Some of them have lived several places, but their roots and citizenship were the most important pieces of nationalidentity to them.
Myself I’m an immigrant. I don’t tell people I don’t really know what county I came from; it’s private and not relevant. If people ask me (not abroad), they usually mean my accent is off, which is rude.

It’s so funny, because in my case airdrying is one of the worst solutions. My hair gets very frizzy and flat while still curly. What I have to do instead is to immediately lie down with wet hair and kinda squish it against the pillow. When I wake up in the morning it’s voluminous and mostly not frizzy.

What a great read! You seem very reflective and aware of yourself. I don’t really have any advice, but it seems you’re on the right track just by knowing yourself and taking steps to wrap your head around it all. Good luck!

How so? Seems reasonable to me to have the same citizenship as my immediate family. And if you want to change it you can apply for it and get it no problem.

I love how they stopped prodding once you got straight to the point and they didn’t know what to say.
- Comment on One less problem to maintain. 2 months ago:
Introverts can be antisocial, but “introvert” can’t mean “antisocial”.
- Comment on Is there an instance for Stoics/Stoicism? 2 months ago:
Does it need a whole instance?
- Comment on Should i be giving a shit about my posture? 7 months ago:
Adding to what others said: there is a saying “your next position is your best position”. You should switch posture frequently during the day. Sitting in front of a PC whole day does not make it easy unfortunately. You should just try to switch consciously, walk around a bit, stuff like that.
