my back tattoo hurts and I should take a shower and put some balm on it. but I'm tired.
my elbows are so much better! thats great! and as soon as they are, I neglect my DIY therapy like warm arm-baths, self massage, applying friction, stretching, and putting on "Pferdesalbe".
my skincare is almost nonexistent right now too, and I'm really bad with selfcare.

the thing that I really love to do is daily meditations. today I sat down for 15 minutes and did the "Flower/Fresh" meditation once more.

Today I meditated 15 minutes in the morning. I love doing it in the morning, it's just that I don't get tired and sleepy and that is so much easier. I did the flower/fresh meditation again, it's kind of my go-to meditation for all times when I don't look for anything particular.

lots of thoughts going through my mind today. more than I can follow up with.

I already notice I'm more stable, emotionally. can this be from meditating?

there is the option to use #Weirdermeditation in our unlisted posts on the @meditate group because then people who want can filter the posts out.
so the hashtag will not work as a hashtag, but as a filtering tool.

(please to ppl from weirder earth, don't post publicly+on local/federated TLs with the hashtag because we didn't want to clutter the local TL with these many meditation posts! if youre not on weirder earth, do what you'd like - but a good idea is to be mindful of your own instance's timeline!)

today I meditated together with my partner in his little meditation corner. we set a timer for 15 minutes and I spent them doing a bodyscan with appreciating all the parts of my body.
my partner is also doing that daily meditation thing in 2023 but we hadn't gotten around to actually doing it together until today. this was so good. I want to meditate with other friends, too. I want to make some time to connect with people I love.

the problem with adhd and me is that I'm so distracted even from things I enjoy. like, I wanted to watch a video and knit, and now I'm doing a lot of little tasks that I didn't get done yesterday, ahaha

but I swear I am knitting now! I mean, pronto. right after I click "post".

today I looked up meditations by a specific buddhist teacher on the meditation app I use, insight timer, and he is doing stuff that starts at a length of 45 minutes. it had always been too intimidating for me. and this time I thought "well - why not try?" and I did, and it was just a breath meditation but it was very well guided, not too much, just right.
what I really find so beneficial and so different from toxic western capitalist society where you always have to measure up to certain standards, is that you approach it with acceptance and there are no productivity standards and measurements.

my problem with weirder earths emoji collection is that I always feel like Im missing out on using most of them. I don't have the patience to scroll through them. but I want to appreciate thm all!

what we need is a "random emojo" button where you can just pull one up and then see how you can fit it into your toot, haha
