hahahhaha!
When I am hurt, when I feel the energy of anger building in me my first reaction is to get away and say do not touch me or leave me alone. this implies to the other person that I do not need them or maybe even that I do not want them. instead I will try mindfulness meditation and mindful walking to quell the fire inside of me. instead I will tell the other person that I love them but that I am...
Started streaming some of my Starcraft games →
if ya like starcraft check it out. It’s nothing serious and is essentially you watching me play videogames. I don’t expect too many people to like it but hey, it’s something I love to do so why not record it and see if it is marketable.

We have to work out a good strategy to deal with our anger. Anger is an energy that comes alive in our minds, it is a primal reaction that however valid, is not conducive to our life.
I often want to express it to show my hurt and punish what I believe the cause is. This is wrong, my anger is personal, it comes from me, and can only be stopped by compassion from myself. Do express that you are...
Note to self
When you open yourself up to communication anything is possible. If you make sure that love is going out then joy is almost guaranteed. Think of it like gardening, sending out love and compassion creates the best harvest for life.
open yourself up, get outta your head, and always get back to a place of mindfulness and compassion.

Morning mindfulness meditation
As I talked with natezore while he cooked, I realized my mind was still stretching to many different things going on in my life. As I sipped my coffee I looked at my mindfulness book and remembered that it said if we are not present then we are not a real person. As I drank my coffee I was living only my worries and concerns. My reality was unpleasant. I sat back and payed more attention to my...

It’s always good to do a little anger work, we all have it somewhere. I fully believe in expressing myself as long as I’m not hurting someone. and you as my antihero, that sounds quite lovely.

Another person in the same situation or hearing the same thing wouldn’t have gotten as angry as you. Search for the seed of your anger. See how you are watering this seed of hate every time you fly off the handle and think you are justified. In reaction some people want to punish themselves or feel great guilt but what is needed is mindfulness and compassion

Without mindfulness passionate love can turn to hatred very quickly.
With understanding, compassion, and help you can turn the garbage of anger into the flower of compassion
