What you prefer meditation or other technique ?
How much effective it had been ?

@blindHeart12
i prefer other techniques heart. I like sketching and going for walks. It takes my mind off things and makes me feel better. What about you? 🎈

Oh, meditation? Sure, when I’m feeling super zen, like a peaceful monk on a mountain top… but then there are days when my idea of relaxation is yelling “I NEED TEAAA” into the abyss of my kitchen. 😂 It’s a work in progress, right? Meditation’s cool if I’m in the mood, but honestly, sometimes I get the most peace out of talking to a plant or pretending I’m the star of a dramatic TV show while walking down the street. 🥹

@brightaday talking to plants and pretending you are famous sound like awesome ways to cope lol might give those a try

@blindHeart12 I'm not a fan of meditation because I tend to get stuck ruminating or despairing at the fact that I exist in the present moment and it makes myself feel worse lol maybe I will get better at it in time. I like going for runs and definitely writing poetry.
@determinedSea4370
It's totally okay not like the meditation.
You find your way to release which is good.
Going run and writing way is beautiful and good for body too.
Even I started meditation i used to try a lot. It say sometime it bring out our suppressed emotions. It fine we don't have to put ourself which give us uncomfortable. As u said with time you will be better with it.

I prefer to journal, practicing gratitude and positive self talk. It has very effective in improving my mental health

@blindHeart12 by a suggestion on my psychanalist, I started writing lyrics (he suggested poems, but I'm not into poetry, besides acctually like writing) and them turning them into songs.
I often have a real emotional releasing while both creating and hearing after.
