   I feel like I see this headline ever 2 months. it's like cancer research. lots of fluff, never any progress. then you get the alien people saying it's cuz they're hiding aliens. i'm exhausted.

      Put your phone down, put your laptop down. Go to the park without your devices and lay on the grass under a tree.

      Hear the sound of trees. The smell of nature. Feel the sun warming your face.

      You mind will trick you, convince you "youre too busy for this", "youre hungry", "your back hurts you cant lie down", "you should be doing X", anything to not stay under the tree, dont resist those thoughts, just observe them as they fly by, but take no action on them.

      Rest without guilt is a trait all masters must develop once they get past the adrenaline urgency phase of their skill mastery.

      Dont take your devices, dont take a book, just sit, 3 hours minimum.

      Go human, you are amazing!

         Sounds amazing. Until the ants start crawling on me, my elbows itch from the grass, I hear planes flying overhead, an ambulance nearby, a souped out honda civic or some loud car in the distance, a freight train passing…that’s my backyard experience. It was a nice five minutes though :)

            “Go to the park” the guy says, you complain about not going to the park, but just hanging out in your yard.

               Yeah I laughed at that too - "I put in minimal effort and got poor results!"
