Journaling can be a helpful technique for managing anxiety in several ways. Firstly, it provides a safe space for you to express and process your anxious thoughts and emotions without fear of judgment or repercussion. By putting your thoughts on paper, you can gain a sense of control over them, which can help to reduce their intensity and frequency.

Additionally, journaling can help you identify and challenge negative thought patterns and cognitive distortions that contribute to your anxiety. By recording your thoughts and examining them objectively, you can begin to identify patterns in your thinking and challenge any unrealistic or unhelpful beliefs that may be fueling your anxiety.

Finally, journaling can serve as a grounding technique to help bring you back to the present moment when you are feeling overwhelmed or anxious. By focusing on the act of writing, you can anchor yourself in the present and reduce the impact of anxious thoughts and feelings.

When I notice people looking at me.
It automatically gives me a feeling as if people are talking about me in a negative way behind my back, just in this case its looking at me instead of talking. Though, if they are in a group and even one person is looking at me in the group, I will think that maybe they are talking about me.

I cant help it, it just automatically happens, it makes me want to just leave or disappear. Its especially bad if I was planning on talking to the person for what ever reason, but obviously I don't do that once this happens.

I tell myself that its probably just my imagination and that its not really like that, but something in me just doesn't let that feeling go, and then I actually do get awkward next to them and actually do give them something to talk about or a reason look at me strangely, because I feel very uneasy and overwhelmed, very anxious in these situations.

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.

Yes, meditation can be a helpful tool for managing ADHD symptoms. By practicing mindfulness meditation, individuals with ADHD can learn to develop greater awareness of their thoughts, emotions, and bodily sensations, and cultivate better focus, attention, and self-regulation skills.

Meditation can help to train the brain to become less distracted and more focused. By practicing meditation regularly, individuals with ADHD can improve their ability to concentrate, control impulsivity, and manage their emotions.

Research has shown that regular meditation practice can lead to improvements in working memory, cognitive control, and overall executive function in individuals with ADHD. Meditation can also help to reduce stress and anxiety, which are common co-occurring conditions in people with ADHD.

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.

I love the fact that people are more in-tune with themselves, more mindful, and that they are on a journey of self discovery, maybe now more than ever before. But, at least from my point of view, it seems like people neglect to take one thing into consideration, and that is actually accepting what they find.

It's one thing to go on a journey of self-discovery, which can be very difficulty in itself, but actually accepting what you find throughout that journey, or at the end of it, can sometimes prove to be the hardest part. This is something that I feel many people don't take into consideration or don't realize, that at some point, they will be faced with some sort of clarity, and that this new piece of information about their identity may just need to be accepted.

I feel like I have been at this point as well, where I got to a place on my journey that I came to some very clear understandings, but, I kept searching for other answers, instead of accepting what was right in front of me.

The reason for this I do not know, maybe it's my sub-conscious not wanting to accept what I found, or maybe it's me being blind to the truth, maybe because it is too hard to consciously deal with.

Has anyone else ever felt this way?

Love vs attachment;

We should only be practicing LOVE.

UNCONDITIONAL LOVE.
Not attachment.

When one comes from of a place of "I love you for YOUR betterment and grace and I love myself the same"
instead of from a spot of "what you can do for MY happiness? MY COMFORT" -

Then you know you are coming from your heart and not the ego

When you do this
You then start to raise the vibration of your heart Chakra for yourself and all those in the world simultaneously. I promise you.

This is also of course practicing good mental health of stopping the co dependency in your life. And inviting pure true love into your life for all you see, you encounter and for yourself.

The same pure one HE loves you with.

OH and if when you asked yourself if you come from a negative attachment in your relationships and you realize you might-
Well please know that ONLY YOUR OWN POWERS can fix that unfulfilled happiness you are looking to others to fill. YOU write, direct, act in your OWN reality.

Change your thoughts, change your reactions, practice gratitude and learn grow to in your OWN soul path. DO THE WORK!!

Knowing the Spirit is true and within you is very important as well.

You have the power - set your intentions, change your steps and thoughts and self talk
And watch your reality and energy change.

Accept this unconditional love in your heart. Give it out.
You will receive 10 fold what you give. You will make this world and your reality a better one.

I am witness
