Learn an instrument

Increase plasticity
Literally slow down you experience of time.

I’m getting a bit more free time and wanting to attempt content again.
Plan A:
Talk to the void of my last 8 years of massive health gains?
B:
Off key music
C:
Unhinged like I talk at work
I come scroll X and it sure ain’t what it used to be. It’s all cluttered and big accounts now.
That said… I may go live and play jam songs after I put the kids to sleep.
I’m deff gonna jam, just not positive ima film myself😅
Intense challenging 2 weeks of life but…
I come home from work and play guitar.
My 6 yr old joins me and asked for Party in the USA.
She proceeds to sing while I play.
Prolly coolest music moment of my life 🪄💖.
There’s always good out here if you allow it to show up
Your non-physical soul enters into your body so that it can have this physical experience.
The body is an intelligent and sentient machine.
It sees the soul as either a parasite or a liberator.
Depends on whether you consciously create harmony or disassociation.
If you constantly poison the body with shit food, negative thoughts and harmful behavior…the body will try to evict the soul.
If you treat the body with love, and create a harmonious, positive environment and relationship…the body will accept and admire the soul.
Be nice to yourself :)
Dear @ColterWall if a a crawfish boil with some good folk in a change of scenery will help you status…
My home and pot are always here for you podna.
We can have a couple motley musicians play some live music for you🪄
If you're having a hard time falling asleep, just extend your exhale - through your nose.
Don't push it out like an action, that'll wake you up.
Just let it go, relax the body, and let it release for longer.
Then ease in an easy breath, and repeat.
Practice. Preferably with focus and intention. The 100th time you play a song (or do anything, really) is going to be better than the 10th time.
Example: Olde Timey Secretary ends every typewritten correspondence with "Thank you. Have a nice day." First few times, each letter takes a second or two, but after a couple dozen memos, it takes a second or two for the entire closing.
Music -- and most anything worth doing -- is more. You're not trying to just get to the end. You are delivering a message/emotion/story and practice builds the passage and transport for it.
So practice. (notetoself)
Jordan @digijordan reflects on an idea first proposed by Aldous Huxley…that the brain doesn’t generate consciousness, but filters it. From this perspective, reality is far richer than what we normally perceive, and our nervous system simply narrows it down to what we can handle.
Jordan compares it to upgrading hardware: as perception expands, more of what’s already there becomes visible. In his view, shifts in awareness may feel new, but they’re less about imagination and more about access …a gradual widening of what we’re able to experience.
