If you practice meditation, you will discover it is actually true. It doesn't even take that much to gain those benefits.

The feelings will dissolve without having to be reacted to. Eventually you are just observing the feelings without them consuming you or controlling you, and they can pass very quickly.

The more you meditate, the faster and easier it becomes, and the stronger the feelings you can allow to dissolve.

Nah. Its like be nice, but dont be a fool or a victim. If someone is a douche to others, dont expect them to treat you differently once they inevitably get triggered by some perceived or imagined wrong they blame you for.

You can be kind, but you must also enforce your boundaries. Thats part of having self respect. And you can gently but firmly throw a criminals ass in jail where they cant harm anyone else. (Jail is still a kindness, compared to the execution they might deserve.

Being kind isn't the same as being a doormat.

In my experience those people that believe that have a lot more problams than just that

Wisdom is timeless

They've been stolen them from their tombs, their countries, and propped up for display for crowds to gawd at, but you had best not dehumanize them any further in front of us staff, it makes us feel bad about how we had one job?

I wish you the best. I hope youre in a better situation now. And the books 'breaking the habit of being yourself' and 'becoming superhuman' both by joe dispenza might be of interest to you on your journey

Yep. One thing that helped open my eyes was reading : givers need to learn limits, because takers have none

Nothing lasts forever. Its impressive something so fragile lasted this long. I recommend finding some way/hiring a resin artist to make a new kind of arrangement out of its remains. Worst case scenario, turn its ashes into a carbon diamond, if its beyond salvation.

Breaking the habit of being yourself book talked about how your body can become addicted to stress hormones. Your normal state is solitude and comfort.

Anything that breaks that pattern may feel like a threat. if you never take risks and always run away from anything uncomfortable, well, good luck ever changing your circumstances, because your habit is to be ruled by fear. Every time you choose to escape instead of confrontating and overcoming what youre afraid of, strengthens that habit of escaping. Step 1 get therapy Step 2 read books about overcoming worry and fear and being courageous Step 3 challenge yourself to do things outside your comfort zone to build your courage and confidence a minimum of 1x per week

So many people would rather talk about their problems rather than actually do something to solve them.

Don't be one of them or you will continue to suffer the same results for potentially the rest of your life. 6 months from now, you could make significant progress in minimizing the impact anxiety has over your life...

Could? Should? Would? Or won't?

Idk man i would just put my sticker on my kid and say whats yours is mine, and whats mine is mine... And yours :p

Seasoning? Is that what we call arsenic these days?

Where are the watermelons?

This is what I will imagine from now on whenever anyone says skedaddle.
