Another very short guided breath meditation in Spanish - 6 minutes - hoping that as I get my sleep and daily routine back under better control I won't always be running late and can meditate for longer, but even such a brief one has an immediate positive effect for me. #DailyMeds

Super short guided meditation focusing on breath, because I am in a hurry - but unlike a day or two recently, I made time for it anyway.

I really want to get back to a longer practice each day, even if it's not doing zazen at home, 15 minutes and up is best when I can fit it in!

Laziness Does Not Exist - but unseen barriers do

It’s really helpful to respond to a person’s ineffective behavior with curiosity rather than judgment.

I'm gonna try to dig up some emotionally neutral or positive articles to post later as a palate cleanser.

I'm glad that awful story I posted is getting some boosts. People need to hear this, assuming they're in the right frame of mind to open the CW. Because this is reality in America. For many people.

(Nothing has taught me to be grateful for my blessings better than the past five years living in my country, that is for damn sure.)

I'm nowhere near as desperate as that person at this point, but that line about being expected to magically overcome a disability in order to get care for said disability hits REAL close to home.

Woman who set self on fire in Portland park remembered as 'brilliant and tortured' artist

"There was no help available to her that did not begin with her having to magically overcome the same developmental disabilities that were hindering her from getting care."

I've found a low dose of THC with a much bigger dose of CBD (vaped) to be very helpful for behavioral activation when I can't get going due to anxiety or "deadlock" (restless indecision), or when I have a bad attitude. However it seems not as effective for very low energy states where I'm not deadlocked or anxious but can't get going regardless.

Good to know, I guess. Tried upping the THC too, didn't help.

I haven't forgot about #DailyMeds folks, just haven't meditated in 2-3 days... Time constraints once, but mostly I'm falling further off my routine again and having a bad lost in space / The Fog type episode. I think I haven't meditated in 3 days but I wouldn't be surprised if that was a week

A quick 10 min guided body scan this morning. Sometimes it's easier to do body scans than focus on my breath when monkey mind is in full effect as it has been lately. I really need to start following my news and social media diet again, free feeding on conflict is not helping my reactivity at all. I hope to make it to the temple for a full hour of zazen + kinhin this evening. #DailyMeds
