Sometimes, doing the next best thing is a stepping stone towards making the right choice. It's an acknowledgment of our limitations and a commitment to progress with wisdom, courage, and a heart willing to learn and grow.
@tippitiwichet that is cool, I can imagine how relaxing it must be and to have trained teachers is awesome.

@gregscloud1 I've been doing a Buddhist mindfulness meditation that embraces this. Breathe in as if breathing for the first time, with awareness of how the breath feels. Breathe out, smile. Next breath think of how beautiful the present moment is. This is simplified as, "Breathe. Smile. Present moment. Wonderful moment." Works best with the right hand over the heart, releases oxytocin, the love hormone.

Embrace the simple life hack of a smile, a magical gesture that can brighten someone's day and foster connections that transcend words.

@gregscloud1 Cyberbullying is one of the few cases where conspiracy-theorist type thinking might actually be useful.
If the victim can convince themselves that the bully is, say, actually part of a Russian psyop meant to demoralize the West, it'd be a lot easier to shrug off their cruelty.
@AskTheDevil Agree 100%

@gregscloud1 Being grateful that a person or situation is in your life helps you feel connected and empathetic, and it's also a good personal feeling.
It must always be because what you are grateful for genuinely makes you happier or feel more complete. It can't be of the coerced or guilty sort, where someone makes you feel it is owed.
Genuine thankfulness is enriching and even empowering.

A life hack that stands the test of time: mastering the art of listening. It fosters understanding, builds bridges, and often, is the most powerful form of kindness.
