@aurynn @mugginsm @car What's helped me most with troublesome thoughts is realising that they come and go. We tend to believe rather than question them. Have you come across the four questions posed by #ByronKatie for shaking up this view? Such a richness of practices are available for dismantling reactive thoughts and behaviours. I recently came across https://www.monkfishpublishing.com/products-page-2/buddhism/a-temporary-affair/

If a #secular approach appeals more the #brightmind app, developed by #ShinzenYoung and #TonyZola is great.

#Introduction time!

I’m a husband, father of 3 young children, and an #actuary by day.

I found #meditation in an effort to manage #anxiety, then explored various philosophical/#spiritual rabbit holes, all in the vicinity of #Buddhism (#Headspace , #ShinzenYoung , #RobertWright , #Zen #dharma study), though I stop short of calling myself a #Buddhist .

I’m in search of a community that shares a Buddhist-ish world-view to just chat and hang out here in the midst of 21st century western culture.
