@mrcippy I am really torn because as a young person I worked consistently at a lot of very low wage jobs. But there has to be some kind of social contract, something fair. And if tips are meant to replace a living wage, well honestly, I'm just going to be #ascetic and go to the grocery store for some bread and peanut butter, maybe just a carton of buttermilk. Both things I like anyway! You just have to check out of a bad system when it goes too awful. And I am, for four years at least.

https://audio.com/lobster/audio/ascetic-attention

The speaker discusses #ascetic #practice, which involves deprivation or slight pain. They describe two methods: one involves sharpening fingernails and pressing them into the hand as a #reminder, and the other involves squeezing a #mala bead or coin to bring attention back to the present moment. These methods aim to bring #awareness and relaxation. The speaker also mentions using a #meditation #bell as a reminder. These practices are simple but #effective in #refocusing attention.
