How to change my perception and interperetation of things?
I would like to learn how to be more calm. I'm too hyperactive and all over the place. I want to be able to quiet and calm my mind and body. I'm trying to do this by practicing meditation and its a lot harder than I thought it would be.
@Scor3030 ikr! Sometimes meditation just stressea me out more 😅
@Scor3030 If it helps, try choosing one simple activity you do every day and try to keep your attention on it. It can be something as simple as noting the taste of the food you eat, or the movements of your hand as you brush your teeth. No need to overdo neither, just let your attention rest on the action.

How to relax and enjoy the moment
@BeingOfService this ×1000
@Anonynectarine It's such an important skill but it's so hard to remember sometimes.
@BeingOfService especially when you need to remember it most. It's so much easier to get caught up in the drama of the moment or in worrying about the past or future at the expense of the present
@Anonynectarine Exactly! One thing my therapist told me on Tuesday. Depression is living in the past, anxiety is thinking about the future, peace is living in the moment.
@BeingOfService funny you say that. I was talking with a friend earlier this week and realized that at any given point, we have exactly what we need to take that next step in the present. The kicker is remembering that during an anxiety hit 🤔
@Anonynectarine Yeah that's the hardest part of anxiety. When it hits we don't remember all the good advice and truths that we've learned. Instead we're just caught up in the "what coulds" or "what shoulds", ya know?
@BeingOfService yes! Which just compounds the problem. I wonder if there is a way to stay present even when anxiety hits. If there is, it'll probably take a lot of practice.
@Anonynectarine I'm sure there is. There are many books out there on practicing mindfulness in the moments of anxiety and depression. The Mindful Way Through Depression is a great book for this.
Good luck with your journey in fighting anxiety. It's tough for us to overcome, but it's the best feeling ever when we do.
@BeingOfService good luck to you too!
How to bake and find a way the cook faster just a bit.
@Melygomez3, although I've been cooking since childhood, I've only got into baking a couple of weeks ago. This is the recipe (simple bread baking) that got me started: https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/basic-homemade-bread. Now I'm doing complex bread recipes, muesli bars, ginger cookies, crackers, ... and a few people even asked me to buy some of my loafs. Once you get the hang of it, it's quite easy and fun - I'd say even addictive, lol. Now I just google "healthy bread recipes" and do them one by one, as one bread finishes, I bake a new one. Hope you have as much fun! :)
@YesYouCan7
wow, yesyoucan, that sounds wonderful. i do some of the baking you mentioned too and it is really fun, only the little crackers are not funny, they do not want to turn out well, nevertheless i eat them. i wish you lots of fun - xmas is coming soon.
@amiablePeace77 Yes!, I also have trouble with the crackers! My girlfriend loves them, but I find them... well, just "meh". Let me know if you stumble upon a magic way to make them better, hehe
@YesYouCan7
i will, i am looking for magic, need it for x-mas cookies and crackers.
