Focus on the breath. Put your attention on it all the time it starts to wander. And whatever happens, happens. Breathe from the stomach: Another School of Thought: Self Inquiry might also help: What is your mind letting go of? What is letting go of your mind? Does the mind exist outside of your own mind/thoughts/experience of it? Personally, I've always had more energy with belly breathing than I ever used to, but I thought I'd offer the other video for balance.

Yes, the entire debate drove me mad, and it's why I wish there were at least 3 voices in US or UK politics on several issues for balance. One side wants to protect the immediate body of the unborn. The other wants to protect rights of the mother. Few voices considered the life of the child after birth, or the mother for that matter in either scenario.

This is a choice for division, deportation, war, heating up the climate etc. It's not the coming-together choice; it is the other one. If you want positive, you'll do more short-term business, but it'll be less stable long-term unless it's in line with the pattern I've described above.

People are unaware that consciousness is the most important thing in the universe. Someone who isn't conscious isn't there. This applies to brain-dead people on life support, and it applies to unborn, unconscious babies. Until something is conscious, it is part of the mother and her choice. When it has consciousness awareness it needs all the protection in the world, including more support for drug treatment, child safety, schooling, healthcare, and the foster care system, which runs parallel with how many additional babies are forced to be born into broken homes by governmental policy. NB Before someone's ego defends their existence, I was also born into a hellish home, so I understand and there is no need to defend yourself to me. This is an observation of society and policy impacts on life as a whole.

Its called decades of a pattern, watching it happen and people denying it to your face. You are touching on the main realisation others made, that it is a race against time. Will the Republicans (take that to mean the right or industrialists in other countries) take climate change seriously, or will they not before the climate gets too bad for human life to continue to exist at a level we are accustomed to? Because there are other levels of existence on earth we can endure. Trump listens to people who shine him on. If Musk has someone smart enough to butter him up sure; otherwise, he'll drop him as soon as it suits him; he has done with everyone else when it suits him. While Musk has popularity and makes Trump feel good he's around for now. He's going to reform the system to make it even less likely he'll not lose next time, Musk isn't required, it's already rigged in that direction with the courts, media, and gerrymandering. I don't think you are yet aware of how fragile things are now regarding humans. For example, if bees go extinct, we go. If the climate gets to a certain level of heat, we are dead. There is a possibility that in a couple of hundred years, we will be extinct. That's where we are at now. I think we'll be around, but there will be less of us and more war over water, resources and migration issues. The earth will be more like a desert in several areas and coastal cities will be flooded, both are happening now at a gradual pace. Food costs will skyrocket as farming land and fish continue to decrease, etc. @Sea NB, But yes America listens to corporations, and corporations are still weighted to be anti-climate, so that is your answer.

1st Location: I was caring for my Mum and tried to live upstairs but the landing there woke me up with regular traffic in a busy house. 2nd Location: The guy was great but he was on his phone at 3am and there were loud trains next door, plus a rogue mouse, 3rd Location The woman has a lovely home, but the pets are used to scratching at all the doors to get let out. I cannot fall asleep if I am woken up early on in my sleep cycle, and then she gets up at 4am for work (I work evenings) so I get 2 and half hours max. @Schizophonia I agree I found this out last time and I do try the, whatever happens, happens mentality, but also its the biggest priority I have, more than food. You get to a point where nothing else matters, I was almost walking into cars, and lashing out, forgetting everything etc. Thank you both for your suggestions, if anyone has any more please offer them. I will try them one at a time obviously, and not mix anything.

I am operating on so little sleep that my creativity is nonexistent, but I will try with a larger mind answer. Charisma. Less Disconnect from the working man. Favorability. More Controversial Dividing Topics. More 'Change' Messaging. Dems lacked it. Producing more leftwing podcasts and an a stronger populist online presence. Nobody on the left likes to engage with the left popular vote. If they do maybe they will have a chance. Sorry its not my best answer, but at the moment I am a zombie.

They will continue to move further right.

Trump can ignore anyone he likes at any time, and will. The republicans will not suddenly start helping the environment no. Both parties are corporate parties and corporations are weighted against the environmental concerns still. Plus a lot of their base has been told its a lie and doesn't exist so, there is political capital in doing the opposite.

Gotcha. It's a fair enough point for me generally. Even though applied globally to the UK at least and the working class, it wouldn't apply.

They've voted for an authoritarian, semi-fascist in a tough time with war on the horizon. Its just the same cycle it always is. All that's happened is we are now closer to war than we were. America isolates more, Putin takes Ukraine, or a large enough chunk to go again and then we have a larger war in Europe, because we don't have the US guaranteeing it anymore or people taking that guarantee as a reason not to try and take land.

You missed the rest of the post clearly, that I edited in. But I haven't been able to manifest much no. We are trying a new business idea as a team now so we'll see.

Sure throw me a few thousand to get setup somewhere and I'll move tomorrow. Otherwise I live on the poverty line and its been hell just getting new place to sleep that's quiet a few miles away. Times are tough disposable income is at an all time low, at least in my lifetime. Example: 625 Pound a month flat. They wanted someone who earned 29,000 a year. Worse, they wanted me to get a guarantor who earned it on top of my own income, even with excellent credit. Wrap your head around that. At least I get to laugh that its still on the market, and they've lowered it to 600 now which won't help with the ridiculous requirements.

I have a problem with delusion, lies , or irrational people. I hate stories and value truth too highly. So it causes me to be put into reaction rather than action.

Because I hate fairytales and I loathe the people telling them so I cannot recognize this truth because its uncomfortable to understand people prefer collective delusion, despite having 20 years of people saying they want more real takes on things in media, news, business etc.

When you ignore them you run right into them, or they into you.

https://climate.nasa.gov/vital-signs/global-temperature/?intent=121 The climate has been heating up for a couple of hundred years. There is demonstrable evidence. Not only the fact I've lived through 45 years of it and its got warmer and warmer. https://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/ You'd be better off arguing something like: We've already screwed up the planet who cares or. Its going to take a couple of hundred years to fix, so why bother? More people will agree because they only value their own experience of life. To argue that it isn't warming up at this point is quite frankly insane. I have no other way to put it to you. It's getting hotter all the time, we get no snow here we used to get 3 weeks of it. We had a 40-degree year here which is unheard of. The temperature graphs are significantly higher. You could say: We are not responsible, its just getting hotter. OR we have no power to change anything. Some people like that line because they can ignore it, but to say the climate itself isn't changing is completely false.

Authoritarians love to do what they say their opponents are doing. Its the standard Russian playbook that he's using.

Democracies are often on a scale. The US will certainly slide more authoritarian. Its been doing so for a couple of decades. Trump and his team have said that's their goal.

On the macro I think I concern myself too much with the truth of something and not lying, so that is what I focus on. Its always been a cornerstone that I've needed in life. So maybe it helps to be exposed to constant lies for years on end.

The dark humor will be all the deportations and any trump voters that voted themselves into another country. A bit like Brexit and people voting to make their lives more difficult overseas or in transport industries, then moaning about it for years.

Mostly because he says it a lot. You are right. Trump just says whatever is in his head at that moment, or someone told him and he fixated on.

Sorry I moved the post to the main thread, but I agree. For reference for others: I said I personally hate that I have to deal with 4 years of conspiracy theories and made up fairytales that filters into everything including every day life.

Ukraine is lost with Trump in. Europe and Russia are much closer to war. China and Trump I can't read. He dislikes China more than Russia and will antagonise them but aligns more with their politics.

For you because you align more with his views. I wouldn't get a single comment out.
