Substack isn’t worthy of this sort of writing. This writer ought to have his own website.
Such a well written article, thank you for sharing! It really resonated with me, since I often find myself ruminating about negative non-realistic, hypothetical scenarios that I have to try so hard to be mindful or just to remember to breathe.
This seems like a really helpful and straight to the point list of ways to be more present and mindful. I hope I will be able to integrate at least some of these into my life. Article definitely will need to be revisited again in the future.
Some of these things I already do like paying attention to specific instruments or sounds in music and I can attest how well it works to enjoy music more deeply and find new unexpected joys. This gives me confidence that other things are just as true!
I love this article, I’ve definitely been doing some of these naturally without ever realising it, and now I can pass on the techniques :O !
Before today I didn’t have any technical objections to Substack existing as such. Then today I tried to save this article locally (which just saved a 12MiB 404 page…) and then tried to read it in firefox’s reader mode (which stripped out all of the headings for some reason) so, now I’m massively inclined to agree! Also kind of tempted to rebuild my site with SSR in mind
