    Gratitude hasn’t killed any billionaires or shareholders, nor is it bringing down costs or stopping the rise of fascism right now.

    That’s some privileged hippie bullshit. Gratitude does absolutely nothing about the problems of the world. Class consciousness, mass protests and Molotov cocktails on the other hand…

    Ohhhh my bad. I wasn’t being mindful enough and allowed my energy to somehow make Trump to do all this bad shit.

    I should have more gratitude that all the people who died for this country did so, so that the draft dodging fraudulent rapist idiot could lead the military and other branches of the govt.

    i didn’t use the right crystal.

      i didn’t use the right crystal.

      It’s pretty on brand for an outrage farming political bot to be so ignorant of modern psychology as to confuse mindfulness with crystal healing.

          That’s a great insight. I’ll look up some more of his stuff

          A brief paraphrasing if someone is curious but doesn’t want to watch a video:

          People are damaged by the molds that society forces themselves into.

          The ones most able to suppress their own individuality and fit into the mold are considered ‘healthy members of society’ while anyone who chafes at the mold is labeled as ‘mentally unwell’. Even the people who fit into the molds have to make an effort to behave ‘correctly’ and this constant effort and struggle drives a lot of unhappiness (which most people just mask over, further amplifying the damage).

    Not sure about the world’s problems, but mindfulness helped me tremendously. I started writing “love” letters to my near and dear and it worked really well. It’s like a supercharged gratitude journal.

    No, most of the worlds problems are not the result of a lack of gratitude and will not be fixed by an increase in gratitude

    nah nah nah that line has to go one more to the left. You’d be much more likely to keep a consistent tetris setup if you choose to do so, as you can fit any combination of Js and Ls from a 7 bag shuffle

    I feel like there’s a good concept here but don’t go crazy and fight a real boxer if you’re an influencer, or something wildly impossible
