This is why I love weed. It shuts the electrical jello in my skull the fuck up.

Do people stop their thoughts?

[–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I think so? I especially wish I could do it at night, it's so hard to fall asleep when your brain refuses to turn off. I am so envious of people who can just shut their eyes and have no thoughts and fall asleep in a couple of minutes.

Lots of people with no thoughts with their eyes open either.

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Whenever I try to meditate I forget that I was meditating :-(

Seems like you're just too good at it. Congrats, you won meditating!

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 months ago

No, the opposite, I get lost in my thoughts and forget I was supposed to be meditating :-( Same in the shower: I forget I'm in the shower and end up staying in there for 30 mins

Reminds me of the scene in Parks and Rec where they take Ron to a meditation place and he's just like "what's the big deal? I just sat there and thought about nothing for 2 hours."
