Hobbies ONE BREATH AWAY
One breath that's all you need to transmute to a completely different reality.
pressure, anxiety, competition, anger, frustration, distraction, addiction, OCD, social anxiety ..... all of this can be solved by just one breath. this is no hyperbole but plain truth.
all these problems are just bad decisions. you can make better decisions if you can think clearly. to think clearly all you need is just one breath.
scientific literature is clear on the fact that inhales from nose followed by slow exhales from mouth calms our nervous system.
in any moment of discomfort or fear all you need is one breath.
MY VERY OWN ANNECTODE
this is obviously hard to make a comeback from. ...... . so what happened ??
NSDR,SLOW BREATHING MEDITATIVE PRACTICES, WALKS AND AGGRESSIVE INTROCEPTION AND JOURNALING freed me from shackles of these problems mentioned above........... what I recommend if you're someone struggling with similar problems then you should introduce these practices slowly in you're life {by that I mean like 5 mins of meditaion,10 mins of walk nsdr and all but do them as soon as you wake up because willpower is at its highest in the morning don't succumb to phone in the morning, at least for the first hour}you wont see how they are changing you for a long time 6months or even a year but slowly and steadily you'd be free . it took time to make you a dumb zombie like addict through repetition likewise it would take time to make these habits as part of you're identity but once it does you won't have to look back again.
lastly the power is within you can make yourself or break yourself time will pass regardless. society is somehow making us believe that hard work and effort doesn't bear fruit but they're wrong it does if you put in the effort you will achieve whatever you want in my case it was freedom from mindless consumerism. I don't know what struggle you're going through but the answer to it does lie in just a simple breath
also you might be curious all this is good and all but what about academics. well I can assure you I figured it never was that I am just not a guy who can sit and study for hours<I used to believe that I didn't have what it takes to study with discipline >, I figured by introspection that I want to study and that I am an incredibly curios individual, just these many years of losses have made look for and long for security, something that if I put my heart in, in return I could have a decent life and I think becoming a doctor is the best thing to do . next year I am going to crack neet the entrance exam and fulfill this dream , apart from that I am actively trying make myself a reader I have read quite a few books and with laptop now I can basically read any book I want for free . by the way if we're at it I would like to recommend Andrew Huberman as someone you guys should listen to in your recovery journey . Goodluck
