I often ask myself if i can go to a small town and live an anonymous life. Its my scoring system for personal pride/ego.
Does such an anonymous life stop me from inventing things or think about stuff deeply. I don't think so,..
> If you want to live anonymously you wouldn't want to be in a small town.
Having grown up in a small town, I can confirm this. The smaller the town, the more it becomes true that almost everyone in town has either heard of you from a friend or relative, or knows you directly. :)
I thought on similar lines. Because I use it often for ibs i noticeably feel much better and I suspect the bp and heart rate reduction could be due to reduced gi effect on body
Going to try this. I have a breathing clock gif as default page on my browser. I use it while I am passive in meetings.
Resonant breathing has been great for me for IBS
Thank you for your comment. I've never envisaged this kind of an application. Does it help you? Is there any research you can share or is it just anecdotal?
This saddens me. I recently started psychology of human misjudgement.
Someone in thread asked what’s big deal about him. what did he achieve
My answer would be I never tried to look into his achievements or did care about them. The man was genuinely curious, humble and a geek. He constantly published his ways of thinking. I enjoyed how he thought about things, how i could relate self correct based on it.
The book also mentions that people who had built a habit switched back to old habits under stress. It looks like author had this situation.
Multiple parallel things led to an overwhelming routine and he fell off the waggon.
Meditation helped hi. apply breaks and re think on every day decisions
In my experience in order to build or break a habit you must be able to tie the action to its immediate results. It can be placebo but in your mind that association must settle in.
Meditation for a lot of people creates a state of calm afterwords. Mainly if you breathe at a lower that 6 breaths per minute.
The calmness likely leads to better decisions and helps that way.
It looked like the author has been overwhelmed with stresses of life. Meditation helped to apply breaks and steer the wheel.
