I don’t know how much patience you have for long term efforts. I have done this for other issues. Meditate on it. Spend initially 5 minutes a day and then lengthen and increase frequency to something like 10-20 minutes 2-3x a day. Figure out what works for you.
Recreate the situations and scenarios where you get triggered. And be in the situation. Stew in it. Notice more and more how you react. What is happening before your reaction? What is happening in the space between each reaction. You most likely will not find out the solution while in meditation. But the meditation will ingrain the ability to slow your processes down. So when you’re back in the situation you will start noticing the issues that are making you lose it.
Once armed with that knowledge you’ll either find new coping mechanisms or you’ll have better information for a mental health professional to help you see those new coping mechanisms.
Rinse and repeat.
The only way to know is to finally find the trigger and if the “addiction” goes away as a result. I found out a few things about myself that helped me to kick my desires that were running me ragged. Definitely wasn’t an addiction. Now finding out that I have other things on the other side that are keeping me from being able to be completely balanced. We are very complex beings.
I’m confused by this idea. Maybe I’m just seeing it from the wrong point of view. If you asked me to do the same thing I would fail miserably.
I think it’s safe to say that op is only stating that people that don’t have meaningful relationships are ultimately substituting with a hollow replacement. Not that they’re addicted. More so that they’re misinterpreting it as addiction.
Sadly the Bible is not something that should be taken literally. It shouldn’t be used as an example of anything these days. It shouldn’t be mentioned when we are making laws. This goes for Any religious handbook as religion has no business being in the decision making for anything that affects everyone.
Ah yes. So frustrating how Nintendo keeps patching all the fun hacks/glitches in tears of the kingdom.
I think you’re doing what I found I was doing a little while ago. Concentration is the ability to bring yourself back to what you ultimately want to do. Absorption is the exclusion of all else. I think you want absorption and your concentration is likely fantastic. Most people concentrate really well and don’t realize it.
Thanks. I’ll check it out.
Are there any simple instructions. I swear everything is seen just goes over my head.
I have heard intermittent fasting helps a lot with stubborn health issues. Might be worth trying out.
Ah. Thanks!!
Extroverts also tend to be more vampiric in my experience. This doesn’t make them bad though.
Sky daddies. 😂
I think the majority of us get it. There are a few who are making decisions that don’t understand.
What I’m realizing more and more is that we don’t have to buy materials from stores to make art. There are tons of videos out there showing how to make natural paints, paper, pastels, etc from local resources. I think so many people just can’t be bothered.
I’d argue that drugs can help the individual do things opposite their current nature. To shake them out of the box they’re currently stuck in. Some people can see how the way they feel doesn’t match their current situation on their own steam. Some need drugs to help them focus on that. The questions we don’t ask ourselves when that connection is noticed are the ones that have the strongest possibility of allowing us to change our views and remove that which is unhelpful from our lives so we can be the best version of ourselves.
I’ve been noticing in my own life lately that things are going great on all fronts and yet I’m miserable. I had not paid close enough attention until I had to bring up the discussion of how our language (literal words) shape our perception of reality with my kids. Now I’m seeing why I’m mostly miserable because I’m actually hearing what words I use daily. Language shapes us more than we realize.
Concentration skills gained through meditation and self contemplation can help us without drugs. Though I’d argue that drugs are often key to breaking cycles so we have the energy less spread out and we can focus on the issues we actually have. There is a time and place for them. They cannot become a crutch.
