Divuni Mindfulness

I would actually love to live without it. At least for certain periods of time.
It's actually less about the internet, and more about technology, and what it has done to society.

At the dinner table - everyone is on their phone.
After dinner - everyone is watching TV or on their phone.
Long drives where you, the driver, would like someone to talk to - others in the car are on their phone.
You try to talk to someone while they are on their phone - good luck! They won't even hear you speaking!

This is something that really makes me want to take more than a few steps back and away from people, and society. Seeing how everyone is so addicted to their phones and social media is just awful for me.

I also have times where I am on my phone, maybe I'll play a game, talk to friends, read articles, but it doesn't consume me. I am not addicted to it. I don't spend hours on it. If someone talks to me, I put it down.

When I am with a partner, and they are on their phone and I mention something about it, only then do they put it down and then say "ok, what do we talk about?".

Verbal communication has been demolished by phones. Couples have difficult time having proper conversations with each other over lunch, or at any time.

I can go on about this, but the answer to the question is yes, gladly.

It's important to note that while meditation can be helpful for managing ADHD symptoms, it is not a substitute for professional treatment. If you are struggling with ADHD, it's important to seek guidance and support from a mental health provider who can provide you with individualized treatment and support.

Mindfulness can be a helpful tool for managing anger. By practicing mindfulness, you can learn to become more aware of your thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations in the present moment. This can help you to identify triggers and patterns that may be contributing to your anger, and to develop a greater sense of self-control and emotional regulation.

Mindfulness can also help to reduce stress and promote relaxation, which can help to reduce feelings of anger and irritability. By learning to stay present in the moment and respond to situations rather than react impulsively, you can develop greater control over your emotions and reduce the intensity and frequency of angry outbursts.

While mindfulness is not a cure for anger, it can be a helpful tool for managing and reducing feelings of anger and irritability. If you are struggling with anger management, it's important to seek professional help from a mental health provider who can provide you with additional support and guidance.
