You have been able to identify some positive systems through which one can slow life down to slow seconds. For me, it's mostly through escaping reality either through books, drinking and or smoking. Though I have quit smoking now, I still drink a little but I have been reading a lot and that has been keeping me grounded to a large extent.
My brain is to active for my own good so meditation is just impossible. As for driving, I have never liked cars or driving so that is a hard pass. I think long walks in the evenings can replace that. I enjoy walking and listening to chamber music, so centering. All in all though, my favourite way to cope with how the days can speed by is writing. Writing is my go to for everything. 😂
How are you, Tez? Miss you 🖤
Trust me... I had to or I would not be the best version of a parent I can be. Drinking is lethal for my nonexistent relationship with food. Books are a green flag always and herb has been an option for a while.
It is good to leave the pages of a book and interact with fellow human beings. I am lucky to have my brood.
Meditation is hard when I choose it, it's me trying to positively disassociate. I love going far from home and I can't do that on foot as much as I love walking too. That's where driving somewhere comes in.
The long walks here tend to be noisy and those can't help me. But yes to writing! Miss you too Mwalim ❤
Yeah drinking can making eating hard. I have the same non existent relationship too (That's a good one by the way 😂). Reading and writing is a win win and you are writing it sometimes takes you away from the crowd and you feel lost when you return.
Lol. I am aware. It is sad though.
I am glad we agree on reading and writing:)
Those two are the air I breathe
