The 4-7-8 technique is just a way to calm yourself down before meditating, kinda like a warm up to help ease into a more relaxed state. Do whatever you need to do, count your breaths, just try to get your heart rate down. As for having trouble controlling your breath while meditating, you might want to try focusing on something else related to the breath. Sometimes when I feel I'm consciously controlling my breath too much, I'll focus on the cold of the air around my nostrils, and the warm air c…

I generally don't use any apps so maybe someone else could chime in? I know a few who really like one called Insight Timer, but it's just a way to monitor progress mostly.

There isn't a particular way to write journal entries. Just write whatever comes to mind when starting out.

Is that a Dostoevsky quote? What book?

No actually this post was inspired by reading Notes From Underground by Dostoevsky and The Heart of the Buddha's Teachings by Thich Nhat Hanh. Both great books, can't recommend them enough. How is SANGAF? I haven't read it

Your comment tells me that you have a tendency to theorize quite a bit, but you do bring up some really important questions that need answering. The problem is that I can't answer most of them for you. Look critically at your goals. If you find that you feel the need to keep reading material in a certain area before you go out and start taking action, 9 times out of 10, you are simply avoiding discomfort. Rather than sweating over the best way to go about doing something, do it yourself, then se…

I'd say start small. Sometimes the withdrawal phase is too unpleasant to push through. Pick one toxic habit that you want to phase out and focus all of your energy on avoiding it until you feel confident in your ability to abstain from it. Once you feel confident with it, you can move on to the next toxic habit. For some people, this method works better for producing sustainable lifestyle change.

I agree. Personally, I keep a journal for this exact reason.

I agree, my explanation of the neurochemistry involved is highly simplified. The dopamine receptors themselves do not become desensitized, however, they do in fact have the ability to decrease in number, leading to less dopamine molecules being transmitted to the post synaptic neuron. As the dopamine accumulates in the synapse, it is broken down by Monoamine-B. While there hasn't been a study proving that this mechanism exists, we have seen observed it in cases of hyperserotonism, and the subseq…

That's already taken care of. So is diet.

Thanks for the answer, man. But the thing is that I could probably easily do that which causes me anxiety if i'm warmed up. I usually get anxious when I'm alone in public or fresh into conversation. I also don't know if it's anxiety per se. I freeze up and have trouble expressing facially. I also get overly conscious of my facial expression.

I'm a fan of cold showers. Not because of all the supposed health benefits, but the fact it carries over into other facets in your life in regards to discipline. Jumping into a shower and committing 100% is a great tool for getting used to facing things head-on. The less you pussyfoot beforehand, the better. It can also be pretty meditative if you take a second and simply accept the cold water trickling down your balls instead of fighting it.

I think this law is extremely relevant for those who have just swallowed the RP and especially those who are getting advised to "fake it till' they make it". While this is viable advice, it has to be implemented progressively instead of overnight. If you try the latter, people will see right through your BS and will ridicule you. I've seen this happen first hand with one of my buddies. He was very timid and insecure guy, always taking crap from everyone. One day he came across some Eliot Hulse v…

I'd actually really like to hear the whole story as I've experienced this as well (to a lesser degree)

Wouldn't breaking eye contact more than her be a sign of weakness?
