It’s also possible to get the time you sleep back (phenomenologically) by lucid dreaming and feeling super rested and having happy lucid dream thoughts. https://t.co/hL4ofmJpTJ
My workload increased 4–5x in the last week — I literally could not survive if I didn’t have Alexander Technique, etc. to regain energy while doings tasks and just let my body do and realise I don't have to “be there” for it.
I always want to be regaining energy. Using awareness in subtle ways, subtle wiggling. Before: - oh no exhausting zoom call - now five minute break to space out After - wow zoom call recovering soo much energy! - oh break time time to exercise and release energy!
Here is a very concrete technique to gain back. Pros: - it’s erotic - did i mention it’s so sweetly, subtly erotic, like sitting near your crush all day - it’s specific enough to follow https://t.co/YBvkoWm5B7
My mind tells me to - wash my face [keep it less oily] - yell something [YAARGH] - clench stomach [clench] and I just notice and allow it and somehow helps get energy back. I don’t understand this the least. I love dancing in my room during Zoom calls. People can hear me fine!
Was exercise-dancing when I took off my glasses and . . . the world changed? My body felt so much lighter. Less tight awareness around head. More low, entire room. Body just danced. Reminds me of @nickcammarata’s video. https://t.co/UIwityrfum
@AskYatharth Unaided I feel dizzy and I can't see, and I basically never exist like this. Contacts I feel a little more connected to the world because more of it is in focus. Glasses a little less, but it's very subtle. Largely I don't think it makes much of a difference.
@m_ashcroft Feels it’s both how frames: - compromise 360 vision (only see in front of me), everything literally passes through a screen - icky feeling on nose and sight of frames reminds me of head and keeps awareness close
@m_ashcroft and also how unaided just gives me - less visual resolution which actually helps with wider awareness - more being with in an unconscious perceiving way, if that makes sense, less resolving into forms, which hurts so much
@m_ashcroft It helped, not just in a “beer glasses” “can’t see people seeing me” way, but just less worrying, more feeling. https://t.co/94M3pv3uDh
