I blocked news feed section of Facebook and deleted my Instagram.  I experience things I wrote below and wanted to share :) I no longer take photographs that much. It seems many photos were just a proof of me existing in that scenario, which did not mean much. I no longer take photographs of things to show people. Just for myself or for my Gratitude app. I no longer think what to post or what to document in my story section. I no longer feel envy towards others being at the stage I want to be in or having material goods that I want. I am no longer bombarded with pictures and ads that do not serve me but take my valuable time away where I could be doing something better. As a consequence of these inactions my brain has more spaces to think freely without being told what to think or what to see. I have more time to do more meaningful tasks such as exercise, meditation, working on my projects and engaging in more creative tasks.  My sister said that human mind tend ...

I feel better without Facebook and Instagram. I have a calmer mind. I would like to continue it as long as I can manage. I do go to Facebook for its uses in checking events and finding a new apartment to rent. But that's it. I also blocked the news feed part, so it doesn't distract me while I am searching for apartments etc. I was already not using Facebook much. I used it for occasional watching of short videos etc. So having no Facebook has resulted me no problem. I used Instagram to follow some inspirational zero-waste and sustainable people and some spiritual people. Without them I also sense a sort of calmness. I tend to get jealous of having this and that or doing this and that. Now that it has disappeared I have more energy to channel it to more important things. (BTW I permanently deleted it :O) Also another good fact is that I don't have to worry about, or think about what to post or not, and what story I should watch or not etc etc. It seems that it does r...

I trust the process of life because I believe in universal consciousness. I accept the self because I have felt my inner divinity. I accept my shadow self because it is part of being human. I feel clean because I take good care of myself everyday. I have curiosity about everything that makes life possible. Life is challenging and abundant. I am clear headed because I have found my unique talent. I forgive everyone in my life that I came in contact because they taught me many things necessary for me to get connected with my spirit energy. I embrace my femininity because I put myself in the way of grace. I say yes to life experience. I am joyful because there is so much kindness in the world. I am doing something I love. I am passionate about preserving our precious earth and all living beings. I am happy about the conditions in my life. I have a desk, internet connection, passion, love of my life, 2 beautiful cats, supporting family and friends, good weather and k...

This food is a gift of the earth, the sky, numerous living beings, and much hard work and loving work. May we eat with mindfulness and gratitude so as to be worthy to receive this food.

I have been going to the psychiatrist, five sessions at the moment. Two exercises were very useful for me: Strict me vs caring me, Past me vs Future me exercises. I told my psychiatrist that I am very strict with myself and that is making me terribly unhappy. My strict self sets this impossible tasks in front of me and tries to push me. But, in reality I can never surmount those expectations. Thus, I become unhappy. She let me do this exercises where I sit at the right side of the couch and become my Strict self and answer questions, such as "What do you think you should do? What are your goals and desires?". The Strict me says all the requirements that I need to fulfill. After that, I sit at the left side of the couch and become my Caring self. Psychiatrist asked Caring me questions like: "How do you feel about the strict self statements and requirements? What do you want to say to the strict self?". And these questions made me realize a clear distinction betwee...

I was dreaming many things mostly not so pleasant as my stomach was bloated and not very comfortable. But some sort of revelation came to me. I was saying to myself: "Little things are not to be worried. When you have calmness in you, every little things falls into its place, according to your calmness". So half awake, I thought, "That's a good advice". I noticed my heartbeat and it was quite fast, so I tried to control it through my breath. Breathing with my diaphragm. It was useful a little bit. Nowadays, I am trying to control and notice my breath to be long and using my diaphragm. I watched a documentary called "Heal" and it was saying "The quality of your breath, is quality of your life". So, I keep that in mind and whenever nervousness sets in, I simply do the diaphragm breathing and instantly I feel less tension in my body.
