I DONT CARE IF YOU LIKE STEVEN UNIVERSE OR NOT

With Mindfulness Meditation you are allowing yourself to pull away from your thoughts and to focus on whats going on right then and there. The rhythm of your breathing. The weight of your limbs and the pull of gravity. The tension you may have been holding in spots you didnt know you were. And your thoughts.  Being mindful is not meant to quiet your thoughts. Sometimes they’re as automatic as your beating heart.  Its not meant to get rid of your pain, either. But you’re able to pull away from thoughts and emotions. You can observe them without being a part of them. You can watch them and not relive it.  After all, you cant relive the past and you cant predict the future…all you ever have is the now. I live with Anxiety and Depression and this is the most effective and most powerful coping skill I have. It doesnt require anything extra [ you just need yourself and a quiet spot ] , you can do it just about anywhere , and, if practiced enough, you can learn to do it on the go. Its great for emergencies.  Garnet was an amazing teacher for this, but the person I learned Mindfulness from is Eckhart Tolle. If you want some more help, I would suggest reading his book, The Power of Now.

How to Practice Mindfulness Meditation

Getting Started

Break the Habit of Excessive Thinking  [Youtube]

me: alright brain let’s do that again!

brain: No Can Do

me: why not?

use they/them pronouns exclusively

use nounself pronouns or neopronouns but are actually afraid to admit it because they’re afraid that they’ll be made fun of

are actually made fun of because their name or pronouns or whatever they choose to go by are too ‘weird’ and ‘inconvenient’

literally do not care which pronouns you use

go by a gender neutral name, or two, or three

look so androgynously that strangers will stare at them in public trying to figure out if they’re ~male or female~

bind with a binder that is too big or wear only small breast forms so they only have a bit of chest

are intersex

make their own box at surveys were the only gender options are ‘male’ and ‘female’

have to make their own word describing their gender because the ones that exist don’t fit them

have transphobic parents that barely even understand the concept of binary trans ppl and have to educate them about nonbinaryness

have a neurodivergency or mental illness that influences their gender
