Start At The Top
🥯 This is Sunday November 24, 2024 🥯
If you want to write like me all you have to do is take out a piece of loose leaf paper and begin to move the pen with whatever pops into your head.
DONT bother writing the date at the top. That just makes you think more.
Just write and keep the pen moving.
Something will start to show up on the page eventually and you can build on it from there.
If you thought that a system and a structure was something limited to a corporation, think again.
We operate our days according to a code running behind the scene. We get the chance to make modifications to that code at any time, or we make the changes slowly based on things not going so well.
You are never doing things in a way that is wrong, you are just doing them in a way that is taking you in a different direction than what feels right for you.
Unfortunately, some people have programs running that take them to the grave faster than others. Or it’s taking them to bankruptcy or whatever traumatic life event we can come up with.
It’s very hard to help people who don’t want to modify the system that they’re operating in.
Meditation In a Nutshell
Sit kind of cross legged on a yoga block as early in the day as possible, in a space that no one else is in. The block works better than looking for a cushion.
Keep your back straight but your body should still be relaxed overall. Especially your face, neck and shoulders which take a lot of daily tension.
Breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth. Or breathe out through your nose if you prefer. If your nose is plugged then you’ll unfortunately have to breathe in and out through your mouth.
You can close your eyes at some point if you choose but some weird people leave them open.
Counting
Start counting the breaths from 0 to 3 and go back down after you hit 3.
More detail on that important sentence: When you breathe in you count 1, when you breathe out you count 2. Breathe in, this is 3 and the next exhale takes you down to 2 in the staircase. In for 1, and now you’re back at 0 on that last exhale.
If you lost count that means you got caught up in the garbage.
When you can do that effortlessly, raise the number to 5 or you can just go between 0 and 1 the whole time as well.
That’s enough information for now.
Live Streaming the Sunrise
Two times now I have broadcast the sunrise from my balcony live on YouTube.
The streams include my music playing in the background.
I am realizing that my ambient music can be put on at any time during the day.
You can even listen to my music on your phone’s speaker and it’s totally fine.
The second one was longer because the sunrise itself was not that exciting but then the clouds were looking super cool after the sun came up. Then I played a bit of music live in the background.
If you want to listen to more of these songs without YouTube, head over to this Spotify playlist.
That’s it. You’re done.
Scram and go eat a bagel Morty!
