What is the crowd's opinion of Declutter The Mind?

A few thoughts from someone a year into meditation:

1. Definitely explore the idea of us not being our thoughts. Give this article a read and see if it helps.
2. Try the technique "noting" for when your mind becomes distracted. I've gone back to this recently as I've had more cluttered thoughts lately and it's seemed to help me
3. I would suggest a smaller amount of time to start. Maybe just 5 minutes, 10 if you're feeling ambitious. A half hour is a lot of time starting out and I know I too would get restless at a half hour. Give a smaller period a try, master it, and then grow from there

You can do it!

Can you do some mindful journaling to explore why the de-motivation occurred? There has to be a reason. Are you neglecting any other aspect of your health - diet, exercise, mental health - in pursuit of this job and the master's? This might be burnout or depression.

Well done. I promise you it gets easier. When I was in your position, I would do anything to stay preoccupied until the shop where I'd buy cigarettes closed for the night. Then I could relax!

It sounds odd, but I highly recommend taking up a meditation practice that focuses on becoming aware of how to observe your urges and emotions. Urges/emotions without fail have a pattern--they arrive, build, peak, recede, and disspiate. A mindfulness routine can help you sort of check in with these phases and get familiar with them. That doesn't sound like much, but the more you know the process the more you know where you are in it, and, forgive the hyperbole, you know that the world won't end if you don't smoke. Your urge or craving will arrive, build, peak, recede, and dissipate. And the more you tune into that process, the more you get to experience those phases changing over time--for me it was the magnitude of the peak urge that slowly but surely came down, getting less and less intense every time I went through that cycle without giving in and smoking. Eventually I noticed that the time to get from peak urge to dissipated was getting super short. I was still getting cravings, but as soon as they'd peak they pretty much be over right after. It was cool. I felt like I was learning that the part of my brain in charge of making me give into smoking urges is a fussy baby. A fussy, cigarette fiend baby. All tears and screaming but nothing worse than that.

Hang in there!

Thank you.

My posture is something like this: https://declutterthemind.com/wp-content/uploads/meditationposture.jpg, feet firmly on the floor. I think I just need more core strength. Another reason to exercise regularly.

Some people coined the term Social Media Detox as the solution to overcome current social media model. The current model sure has flaw. I think the product should adapt, not the users. Current users have no choice, every social media use vanity metrics so well they need to use it to connect with people.

My thought for early adopters are crypto-users that sicks of the current model with ads and central power (youtube, fb taking down crypto-related content). The decentralization will be another unique feature.
