Do you practice CBT?

 

I have comprehension problem big time, slow to grasp (hard) concepts. So I prefer illustrated materials often. If not available, then I break down the page contents to simple drawings or bullet notes to understand better. Keeps for me the reading interest fresh and the reads, mindful. If reading online I highlight the lines, pause to assimilate or clip to Evernote to read later if it calls for deeper involvement.

I once read in NY magazine article that,

"Focus is a paradox—it has distraction built into it. The two are symbiotic; they’re the systole and diastole of consciousness. We need both. There is a subset of Buddhists who believe that the most advanced monks become essentially “world-class multitaskers”—that all those years of meditation might actually speed up their mental processes enough to handle the kind of information overload the rest of us find crippling."

To practice meditation regularly is the key I figure.

This.

Ha ha @kaniths

Welcome to my world....I try too every morning....manage about 3 mins and then I console myself with a "Every morning I make a resolution and every evening I make a revolution (inner)" and start over again!

You are doing such a fantastic job!

 

Yes.

 

Random but I'm thinking of this song lines...

You are the same decaying organic matter as everything else.
We are all part of the same compost heap.

Welcome to Fight Club.
If this is your first night, you have to fight!

Thank you, it's encouraging.
