This can be related to the topic about remorse and projecting something happened in the past into the future. No it doesn't feel strange, on contrary your words have a lot of sense..

Being present, into the moment embracing what you feel.. yeah that's what I have to work on.

I see it like a mental/temporal space, that I find difficult to stay in.. you are right, it is indeed like saying here I am.

The conciliation from being in the present, while learning from the past, not projecting it in the future and being anxious about it is my personal struggle.. it's like ying and yang, but there's three od them..

Nostr tip of the day.

1. Look through your camera roll

2. Find a memorable picture

3. Post it with some context explaining what makes it memorable

Don’t overthink it. 🫡

I am a mirror of you. Reflecting back your brightness.

You are a mirror of me. Removing layers of thoughts that no longer serve.

Yoga is play. You are blessed to have your children practicing with you. Children are the best teachers. Tell them I say hi 😘

Have a wonderful weekend.

🫂🙏✨

Hi Pollyanna ✨

What a journey. ❤️

I love practicing with you . 🫂

How old are your children? I wouldn't be surprised if they start copying your yoga poses 😂

Sharing a note like this is beautiful...yoga is an internal practice and I'm grateful you're sharing this transformative experience.

For me, the video ( and posting ) holds me accountable ...and helps me troubleshoot the pose.

Taking videos are time intensive tho ....and, like you, I am also self conscious.....I find myself spending too much time looking for an outfit that doesn't make my belly look fat 😂.

Post again when you feel inspired. I enjoy hearing from you 🫂🙏

In the spirit of understanding i am going to start asking yall for your truth and definitions

So in your own words.

What is altruïsm?

#asknostr

Awesome. Looking forward to hearing about your journey 🫂

Good morning 🌞🤸‍♀️

Lesson from #handstandpractice:

Don't let a rogue thought sabotage your goals. Find the positive, drop the ego, and keep moving forward.

This week I was frustrated that I did not make any progress in how long I could hold handstand. But after watching the video today, I realized that my form had improved (the right leg is finally aligned -yay!).

So now the glaring issue is building strength -- core and arms. I was hoping my balancing skills would compensate for my scrawny arms and soft belly, but that is not happening. 😜

So...the plan for the next several weeks is to be more mindful of form in my daily yoga practice..... core muscle activation in Chaturanga Dandasana and udiyana bhandas in my vinyasas.

I may incorporate some drills to my daily practice (Instagram followers keep DM'ing me with tips 😂 ...... real time slow progress must be painful to watch... people want to see beautiful poses...not the tedious work that went into getting there).

May we all have the patience, humility and perseverance to crush our goals. 🙏

I'm glad it helped. It's important to feel what we feel so we can know, truly and to see the beginnings of the self destructive stories we tell ourselves at times. These stories are part of the human condition, paying attention to them but not holding on to them, we can see the bigger picture including ourselves. Practicing this way, it becomes easier to know when we are lying to ourselves and when we see clearly. 💘

it's often a concept that people aspire to that gets in the way of who they really are. this word is a red flag and reminds me of people who think "Zen" means you are always serene somehow or happy. this is not possible. most of the time we are neutral. we can't be happy or serene if we don't experience the whole range of our feelings, our relative minds work by contrast. practice is the deletion of concepts such as this and then the deletion of the deletion to the point that one forgets the self. (as dogen says "to forget the self is to study the self". serenity can arrive naturally but forcing it (like "those" Zen students on retreat who put on a Serenity mask while at the same time visibly look like they are jabbing a fork in their hand under the table.

i wrote this piece about emotions a while ago and touched on what i am referring to above in it.

in terms of a definition, real serenity is a natural result of dropping our baggage. the half smile of a person steeped in practice is this smile but that person has feelings and displays those as well exactly in accord with themself in each moment. if you want to see a true half smile, DaVinci painted a very famous painting with one that people misread IMO.

@SGT.FISH thank you for asking this question.

maybe that's not something you achieve pondering or observing, maybe it's just something you rest on when you stop fighting life and yourself.

Yes this too. But how will you achieve any of those moments if you do not have the time to ponder and observe.

Unfortunately life is more than just taking in things.

Unless of coarse you’re born into riches. Then thats a whole other onset of potential problems.

Maybe mix in being content.

But that can lead to complacency which may lead to laziness. Which can spiral quickly to an anxious moment.

So maybe a temporary or momentary feeling of complete calm or peace. (And that moment can last for varying times).

Because nothing can be sustained forever.

Had the weirdest dreams... Nothing new in that field anyway.

Learn how to learn. Fuck the rest of it cause it's all bullshit anyways.
