Is Meditation The ONE THING?

[Newborn]

I feel zero in control of my life and not in a blissful way.

My mind is racing all the time and i greatly lost my meditation gains from previous practice. 

I have  slowly abandoned all practices and feel going down-hill pretty fast for some time now.

My concentration skill is laughable.

I look like a fat-loser-teen with phone addiction.

I need to gain full control of my mind, my feelings, body and myself.

Where do i start?

I need to focus on something that surely will alone start to reverse this situation.

Can't focus on many things right now.

I need your opinion. Yes, you.

What would be your ONE THING if you were me?

I am thinking at restarting a serious anapana meditation routine.

Your intuition's already given you your answer.

Cut out distraction. 

First know what distracts you. 

[Thought Art]

10-30 minutes Holden Qigong everyday 

 

[Raze]

Use unified mindfulness

 

and “break through difficult emotions” and “break through pain”

Well, i am moving from a big city to a small village in a beautiful place surrounded by nature in a few months, this will help for sure.

By mainly, phone and computer absolutely trigger an awfull distraction habit role BUT i use them to work on a online business, so i have to keep using them but in a way more mindful way.

Right now they absolutely control me.

@Newborn your sheer will to get away from such things. Nobody can help. You do it yourself.

Yeah, i know but my will is seriously weakened right now.

Health is bad, vitality is low, motivation is low, self-esteem is low, financial situation is awful, etc.

Thank you.

I am planning to go to another vipassana retreat soon.

Much like shock therapy.

@Newborn Man, just try the 20 minute Qigong routine I shared. Meditation is great but… you need to cultivate and train the body and Qi as well. This will help with much of what you suffer from.

Plus it’s fun, and not boring. So give it a whirl

Become spontaneous. That's meditation.

Empty your cup.

The number one step for changing yourself is to detox from everything you're used to. Once you fill yourself up with some emptiness, the bad habits will become easier to dissolve, and you will be ready to accept and absorb good habits.

Right now, with negative thoughts going rampant, i am spontaneously depressed and apathetic.

go deeper into your darkness, into your trauma. It's deeper and more intricate than you think, and the strategies you use to cover it up keep you in anxiety. face your pain and set yourself free
