I enjoyed this speaker and the different take on slowing our anxious thoughts down. I’m glad I found it later at night, when I don’t have time to fall into a twelve-hour Ted Talk rabbit hole like I usually do when I come across one of these videos. Thanks for posting!

Hi there! Thanks for posting in YSK. It seems at the moment, this post is coming across as less than accurate. Will you do me a favor and update it to include the fact that accreditation is not the same as traditional colleges and the estimated prices that were found in the Wiki? That way it won’t get reported and possibly removed.

ZenGrammy ,

I appreciate it.

ZenGrammy ,

Lemmy’s version of NSQ also prohibits replies that are mean or mocking the OP. We encourage asking any question that doesn’t break the rules.

Hi there. Hope you’re enjoying NSQ. Rule 1 in the sidebar states that every post must have a question in the title. It makes it easier for people to browse the community. Will you edit your post to follow the rue? Thanks for posting!

YSK you can meditate without sitting quietly (psychcentral.com)

WHY YSK- Many people practice mindfulness and meditation as part of their lives, and some would like to but feel like they don’t have time to sit down and meditate properly. Once you’ve gotten used to doing it as a part of your daily activities, it becomes easy to simply take a few breaths and gain some peace from your...

ZenGrammy OP ,

Personally, if I’m doing something that I find monotonous, I just focus on my breath and my body. You don’t have to find joy in the one thing you’re doing to meditate while doing it. You can shift the joy to just your breath and your body being a gift to you because you woke up today.

If I feel the need, I also allow my mind to do whatever it feels the need to for a little bit, which is usually planning for something that makes me anxious or thinking about something that happened earlier, then bring my thoughts back to just my breath and my body for a few seconds, and refocus on the thoughts that crept in. It’s okay to allow whatever thoughts want to creep up in, and then accept and acknowledge what you want to think about and why.

You can continue doing the dishes and meditate while allowing your mind to focus on the thoughts that wanted to creep in. You don’t have to block it all out. Just acknowledge it and make it part of the experience. Once you’ve acknowledged the other thoughts, you may find you can mix the two together–I’m anxious about this thing coming up, but I also appreciate the warm water running over my hands right now.

ZenGrammy OP ,

I’m sure it’s different for everyone. For me, it’s about recognizing that every day is a gift and I should do what I can to acknowledge the beauty that is around me. My body, my home that shelters me, my family and friends, my city and surrounding state… it’s all beautiful and all I have to do is take a few moments throughout each day to take it in while focusing on my breath.

I meditate while walking or cooking most days. I have a system for walking, where I know how many breaths I normally take while walking and breathing at a slow but steady pace. I start on the left foot and breath in, then switch to exhaling always on the right foot at the right amount of steps. It takes some practice but the whole point of it is to get some exercise and take in the scenery while breathing and focusing on your breath in the background of your mind. I live in a cold area, so when I first learned this I even used it as a method to walk around the house and pick things up that need to be put away since I oculdn['t get outside much.

When I’m cooking I enjoy the process and do it like the article I posted, letting my mind wander if it needs to for a few minutes and then bringing it back to my body and breath for a few seconds, and focusing on the food again. Cooking is something I love to do, so it’s easy to meditate while focusing on the aromas and the colors and just in the background of my brain making sure my breathing is even.

ZenGrammy OP ,

I was surprised at how many replies I’ve gotten. I am probably subscribed to both communities already. I should ]probably post there once in a while, too.

ZenGrammy OP ,

Thank you! I have been trying for years to stay on the path to mindfulness, but only recently has it really clicked that even when life is difficult or busy, it’s not a chore-it’s a relief to go back to my practice.

ZenGrammy OP ,

It can be whatever you need it to be if it is soothing to you. If you let those worries come and acknowledge them instead of trying to hold them back, you care for yourself in the way you need to be cared for. Just keep breathing in an even way and examine the worry. Is it something that needs to be taken care of or no? Make note of it as a “for later me” thing and return to focusing on your breath and the task.

ZenGrammy OP ,

I’m so glad you tried it! Now you can take that skill with you on all your walks going forward.

Samsung makes the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Z Flip 5 official (arstechnica.com)

I haven’t shopped for a new phone for a while but I have to admit I’m eyeing the new foldables from an accessibility standpoint. I really miss the mechanical keyboards that used to be available on every phone. In the absence of that, I’d love to have the option of a full-screen keyboard on one side and still being able to...

ZenGrammy OP ,

I’m not sure what the benefits would be there, either. The small form factor may be nice for people who have to carry it in their pocket, but I’m not sure if it would be worth it for me personally. It seems cell phones are always either trending ever larger or smaller, and this particular lineup sort of covers both angles.

ZenGrammy OP ,

I feel the same. I can see why other people would buy it, but I’m not on a contract so I need the price on the foldables to come down to a reasonable point before I would bite. The upside to that is that while I’m waiting for it to happen, they are also working out the kinks and I can make an informed decision on which model is worth the money I’ll have to pay for it.

What Phone & OS should I get next?

I currently have an iPhone X. I like it, but it’s gradually dying. It’s also a bit too big. Perfect size would be the iPhone 7 or similar. I’ve had different brand phones before this, so while I’ve been on Apple for a while, I’ve had Samsung, Motorola, Sony, Nokia etc. all the way back to the Nokia 3210....

Celebrating A true Canadian hero (lemmy.ca)

40 years ago today Terry Fox, a 21 year old Canadian who lost a leg to cancer, began an east to west cross-Canada run to raise money and awareness for cancer research. He ran the equivalent of a full marathon every day and made it to 145 days and 5,373km before he was forced to stop and he lost his battle with cancer.

Unfortunately, this post as it is currently formatted breaks rules 1 and 2 in our sidebar so I will have to remove it. This type of post is more appropriate in a community like Today I Learned, which is not focused on tips and tricks to make your life easier.

Hi there! I hope you’re enjoying NSQ. Will you please rephrase your title so that it is in the form of a question? It’s rule 1 in the sidebar. Thanks for posting.

No problem. Thanks for fixing it.

Thank you!

I feel like that would depend on the opinion of the “Stephen” in question–or maybe their parents if they are a minor.

Edit: You’re welcome.

ZenGrammy OP ,

Thanks! I looked at our recent posts and I do see that those with source links tend to be more upvoted and spark more discussion, but I don’t think the community is busy enough to make it a rule just yet. I am happy to note in the sidebar that citing sources is likely to help your post become more popular, though.

ZenGrammy OP ,

That is a concern, and we do occasionally remove posts that are clearly not factual.

why is there a weird carpeted step in my closet?

I just moved into a new house, and it has a weird step in the bottom of the closet, that is covered in carpet. I’ve seen this before, and it could just be coincidence, but is there possibly a weird architecture or design reason for this, or is it just a quirk?

ZenGrammy ,

Hi there! Hope you’re enjoying our community. Will you please edit the title of your post so that it iincludes a question? It will help your post to get good responses and is our first rule.

I am going to remove your post because this is not the right place for it, but please do seek advice at /c/[email protected] for your concerns.

ZenGrammy ,

Sometimes you have to change your post sorting option once you click through to the community to see all the posts. I have mine set to “Top Twelve Hours” as the default because I like that for my front page, but once I get into the community I often have to change it to “New” and then I’ll see a lot more posts.

ZenGrammy ,

That’s really gross and fascinating at the same time.

Looks great!!
