I’ve been there too, and I still have these problems you talk about. I have created problems out of thin air, overthink them and then end up depressed and anxious. When really there’s so much worse out there, that’s the beauty of gratitude! Being thankful and staying on the path of truth and meditating every day really helps me, plus getting my diet sorted out. It seems like this is just the ego trying to distract us from the bigger picture? I might be wrong...

What are you eating? Is it healthy? Look up about the effects of raw whole food and cooked food, cooked food generally takes your energy, while raw whole foods give you energy.

Vitamin B12 is all I take on a vegan diet. You could take some Vitamin D too if your not getting much sunshine. Be careful taking too many supplements as most of them can be found in food, which gets absorbed to the blood much easier. Also, any bread product is really bad for blood sugar levels and insulin. You can end up with diabetes if you eat too much bread (people think it comes from eating too much sugar) At the end of the day just watch ‘What the health’ on Netflix and hopefully you should be all clear on diet, it helped me massively.

Maybe try some Yoga too. Since I started doing it about a year ago my energy levels and general well being have gone through the roof! It’s pretty easy too, all you need is a Yoga mat and your away.

Cold showers are incredible! And eating the right food too, vegetarian/vegan

Maybe just turn it off? Or put it in a different room when your at home? Works for me fine, and I can now notice how much of a burdain it can be, and how addicting it can be. Very useful tool but it can be easily overused, wasting hours just looking at it can’t be good for the brain...

@molosku I’m currently doing the ‘do nothing’ technique and I always come out of it feeling relaxed and calm afterwards, give it a try and see for yourself. Letting go of trying to control thoughts is what makes this incredible i guess

Thank you to everyone, really helpful feedback! It’s good to know this is all normal.

Hi all, ive been practicing the ‘do nothing meditation’ for a week and a half now (not long I know) and I can successfully sit there for 20 mins just letting my thoughts come up and not controlling them. But pretty much ALL my thoughts are song lyrics. Is this normal? Is this monkey mind? Because none of it seems negative or frustrating... just getting a bit tired of it and I wonder if it’s completely normal to experience this? I do feel better afterwards and I feel I am a lot less anxious and depressed in general, which is the main thing. Any reply and advice is greatly appreciated, thank you

You’re so right. We have to live in the REAL world and come to terms with what IS (the present moment). I’m really grateful someone has come out and said this...

Because the things I want to do don’t pay, and society needs people doing things all the time (like jobs) rather than being (what Leo promotes)

I’m a Truck driver, doing it purely for the money . Have no idea what my life purpose is yet but I know my passion is diet and how it effects the body. All I really want to do is ride my bike, read books and meditate all day, can’t have it like that though can we?!
