Yeah, you guys in France literally do that all the time and honestly I liked it when I was living there! But most people in the world would not understand that as most of the world is at stage blue. I tried it in my native country and people were shocked. I saw it happening to some other persons who use irony a lot, others would think that they are racists and have bad intentions.

21 February 2020 Time: 1 hour Eyes always closed: Yes Summary: Even though I was a little sleepy, this session went pretty well. I had a lot of thoughts, but I didn't move my body a lot. At a moment I felt like I was merging with everything and my body was very lightweight. I was a little calmer when I opened my eyes.

20 February 2020 Time: 1 hour Eyes always closed: Yes Summary: I have mixed feelings about today's meditation. I originally did it in the morning but got interrupted at 46 minutes by some text messages on my phone, so as I wanted to achieve my goal of 1 hour for 30 days I choose to meditate again in the evening. In total, I meditated for 1 hour and 46 minutes today. The first meditation was pretty calm, the second one was more complicated as I was agitated, stressed about some stuff, had a lot of thoughts, and also move my body too much, but I kept it up anyway. In the end, I didn't felt more conscious when I opened my eyes but was satisfied that I'm able to continue my challenge.

OMG. This guy reminds me my previous manager

I mostly learned by using free online tutorials, it's maybe 70% - 80% of my education. When I was in college, most of the time the teacher would tell us to turn on our computer, go to a specific page and do the exercises. He would eventually help us when we had some questions, in some other classes he would direct us by showing how to do the work. Overall, I think working with other competent people on real scale projects help to learn faster. Online courses on Udemy or other similar platforms can also be great because they are very structured, but I only took one of these courses so far. Stay open when learning, have a stage yellow approach, analyze the most possibilities that you can. There are many different ways of doing the same stuff in programming, yet some of them are more effective.

@Preety_India Excellent idea ?

@Raptorsin7 Yes, I think that more people on this forum resonate with this article as well, probably more than the general population.

Using Brute Force I have been meditating for 1 hour since the beginning of December, however, I still didn't succeed in the challenge of doing 1 hour for 30 days without opening my eyes. So what I'm going to do is to use brute and take full responsibility to achieve this goal, for that I will wake up early every day (max 6:30 AM) and meditate in the morning. My clients generally don't message me in the morning, so there's less chance that I get distracted. I will also avoid distracting myself with my phone and go straight to the meditation after the gym. I'm now taking 100% responsibility to meditate for 1 hour for 30 days and I know that I will achieve this goal.

Being A Light Worker I'm currently blown away by how well this article describes how I feel. I almost fill all the points! It's strange to read something like this, it's like reading myself. This article was originally posted on Leo's blog, have a look, it's very interesting: https://thoughtcatalog.com/brianna-wiest/2018/03/20-signs-youre-whats-known-as-a-lightworker/ https://www.actualized.org/insights/are-you-a-light-worker

5 February 2020 Time: 43 minutes Eyes always closed: Yes Summary: The session went really well, I was very calm, very peaceful and blissful, it was like heaven. Unfortunately, I got interrupted by several text messages on my phone. A client needed to make a call to discuss some stuff. Apart from that, it was a very great session, I felt more conscious when I opened my eyes.
