  • The emotional thing:

    It is important to remember feelings are things and they arent given to us. But they belong with us. And while you cant suppress or choose to not have an emotion : You can control your actions, reactions and responses around emotions. Cognitive therapy can help.

    The breathing thing:

    be careful with it. Some people with mechanical breathing disorders (apnea) might be worse off if messing with breath counting and to just make sure they are taking a full breath or acknowledge breath and swifty move on to something automated like heartbeat or checking in on body parts so as to not mess with the mechanics of the brain for taking a natural breath.

    After decades of meditation using breath work it started to make my anxiety worse as i found it made my waking and sleeping apnea way WAY worse. Im pretty sure it is what caused the mechanical issue in the brain to hold a breath or not pull it in for too long until suddenly dizzy.

    Takes a lot of time with habit building on letting it go to break this cycle in the brain.











  • Wrong.

    You can. You just wont.

    You are speaking with an addictive mind that is left out of control.

    That is how addictions work. That’s your ‘situation’. And yea, i do know. I know enough to know when im being bullshitted. I know the bullshit language we use to convince ourselves.

    You are only bullshitting yourself here. Thats the situation. Im not the one who needs to be convinced for you to continue. Because im not the one making you smoke.

    Youre already taken that job on yourself. Every moment of every day. Youre chosing it.

    That is your situation.
