^^ I'm learning to teach without the woo woo.
I feel good about all this. I even want to take a stab at trying to include maga types in a gentle and non offensive way. Those videos (Yes I'm going to doing videos π±) I will probably provide for free.
For my local community I plan on puttimg myself out there for public speaking. When i get my MBSR teaching ill be going around the county offering speaking at jails, assisted living and community centers.
Stuff like that. β€οΈ
General thoughts π§΅
Boy the state of politics and socioty is just incredible (in a bad way lol)
That's all I'm going to say because repeating the craziness intrudes on my peace.
As I've mentioned before, I am no longer triggered by news and social media. I will be writing an article on how I did this. (without the woo-woo stuff (it's funny even my instructor calls the more mystical stuff woo woo) π
But I have experienced woo woo & it's freaking amazing
1/x
^^^ There is one more dx (this was obvious)
5. Polysubstance use disorder.
Most of his drug seeking is bc of the anxiety, depression and adhd
Adhd has some bad symptoms other than attention. A condition called understimulation, being so restless/antsy, he shakes badly & it exhausts him but he can't sit, sleep or rest. This makes him volital, irritated, and angry.
Which could be fixed w/meds but when you are labeled "medication seeking" it's incredibly dificult to get adhd treated. β€οΈ

He also found out he really likes wood working. He built and stained an oak table top that is gorgeous.
Now he wants to take the scraps and we will design &build some unique insense burners. He can sell on Amazon (under my brand) we will build from there.
As for me, I'm ok. Studying my butt off as this teacher course is like masters level workload lol but I β€οΈ it.
Initially I'll be teaching online by video. In addition I want to create curriculum to help heal our society's divide.

UPDATE
my son is doing much better. The new primary care doctor is great. (Considering he was ready to give up on doctors, threapis5 and psych)
He had a neuropsych done and the results are back. Not too surprising except the last one.
Simplified:
1. ADHD
2. Major depressive disorder, recurrent, moderate to severe
3. Generalize anxiety disorder
4. Math specific learning disorder, dyscalculia.
ANYWAY his doctor is putting together a medication plan - he should find much relief soon.

#mindfulness teacher training
Yesterday I learned that the creator of this program (Sean Fargo) had very similar experiences and changes that I did.
Many people have changed, not just me lol.
Then he showed his bucket list of sorts (see pic)
And this is literally my bucket list too.
Ot probably accelerated my demise in the corporate world because my purpose in life has switched. π§ββοΈππ
Morning! π§ββοΈππ
Wow, I had an incredible burst of creativity last night, AFTER I got laid off.
It's a great example - I was "clogged" up with guilt (about work)
After I got laid off, I released the mild guilt I had been feeling since I was still getting paid for doing essentially nothing
After Meditation last night I had an incredible burst or creative energy and did some serious business planning
It just blew me away - I couldn't go to sleep either, I kept having ideas pop into my head π
Random observation
I actually feel bad for catturd rn. Lol.
I think his dog died. π
I saw him trend and took a look, just curious..
When we SEE another person's suffering (friend or foe) and feel it as our own - compassion comes. Then understanding ...
This is what will be expected of everyone if we want to heal this socioty...eventually. a lot of things need to happen first lol. π§ββοΈ

Today is World Happiness Day, established by the UN in 2012.
The International Day of Happiness aims to make people around the world realize the importance of happiness within their lives.
I hope today offers you a little bit of happiness.

UPDATE
finally got to eye doctor for new glasses.
It's really weird and sometimes unsettling transitioning to retirement.
And OH BTW remember when the cops barged in and arrested my son for a RICO charge
That was dropped today due to no evidence ππ
The prosecutor actually asked if he would accept a misdemeanor. Lol lawyer said no because there is no evidence. π
Surviving this chaos through mindfulness & meditation. Retired engineer. Working certs in mindfulness meditation, MBSR, and energy healing. Because happiness.
