I feel like I should do the same.
I noticed just the other week how exhausting being on the laptop is for long periods of time. And half of the time that time is just spend finding distractions anyway.
Taking small breaks and generally having balanced sitting behind screen with sports and yoga has helped me alot. Allowing some amount of feel good moments, say watching videos of cats is of course acceptable, but spending hours on the same end is not very productive.

I normally have my screen on, either with music and often with forums or something else open while doing a working, yoga or RTRs also throughout the day. Not while concentrating on the computer with some of those things obviously, but the windows will be open anyway. I also like music when I work out.

I have had good success taking breaks listening to podcasts and doing the breath of fire to recharge my energy. Of course, my productivity is not yet perfect, and I restarted a working to remove any obstacles to my productivity. There are some placements on my chart which can make me a little overly cynical, yet also attempt to take on a lot of work.

Such a freeing working can cover many different aspects about oneself, so I would recommend it, in addition to other workings I have mentioned. I have done it once for 40 days before, and it dug up things I was not even aware of.

In regards to watching youtube or other digital distractions, I would put these all behind software blockers. Every time I have removed such things, like youtube or whatever, and convinced myself it was fine, I regret it later. In case you are wondering, no you do not need youtube for an emergency or whatever justification our minds may come up with. Although, some blockers will let you unlock the filter after performing a long puzzle or something.

You were correct in your initial reply to Shadowcat, and she was hypersensitive about it. However, she is coming to terms with that on her own. That does not excuse her entirely, though.

There are limits to the benefits of continuing to harp upon a matter. Instead, it may be better to deescalate a bit when the other party is struggling emotionally. This is because they aren't going to act rationally as you may desire. Yet, this doesn't mean you have to surrender your own argument either, just lessen the intensity of it.

In regards to this specifically, her post is good enough, despite this or other errors. It is better that people study these topics regardless, which they may not have done at all without this post. So no, she shouldn't entirely delete this. However, it can be modified before uploading into the Library.
 
Look I am sure everyone in this thread at this point has good intentions. I don't want infighting, or at least even in this case bickering started on my behalf or at all ideally. Let's let attention be put on other things.

The post does not have to be rewritten, just edited, all is not lost. It is not perfect but not completely flawed, which is why all of these must go through the editing process as was discussed before they were written. Nothing inaccurate is going to be put in the library.

Personally, at this point, I am simply utilising my Will. It is strong, stronger than before and at this point something that I need to do instead of workings. The time is better spent on more cleaning and void meditation for me, I think.

As for the software blockers, I think that is cheating, but to each their own.

Whether you are utilizing your will or software blockers, make sure you are getting the results you desire. Software blockers are "cheating" because you are only using will to set up the blocker, but if this results in you meditating more, then it is worth it. This new time gives someone the ability to make permanent enhancements to their will and grow out of such handicaps.

I could also make the point that all of our entertainment is built around maximizing its addictive potential, which comes from the enemy and not what a normal person would create. So it would be wise to keep some distance from the worst of these items.

Anyway, good luck to you.

This is excactly what I have done. Feeling the need to something better with my time has resulted in gradually removing more and more pieces of time wasters.

Aside from that I would point out that music is not fully controlled nor created by the enemy.

I wanted to add something that came to me last night in a spontaneous way, since you have a very bad experience on the work environment, why not do a working? You can use runes or magic square, and make a good affirmation, like, "I have good relationships at work and people respect me" or similar (it all depends on which area you have problems). So you give a very good input to the reader, since usually those who have a good aura, consequently there will be very good feedback from other people and automatically turns away the bad ones.
Ciao!

There has been improvements with this as things I have done in the past have also helped. It's not exclusively about the aura perse, but ones karma that comes out can influence the aura too. Cleaning always remains a must.

I also used to be too trusting of people and I learned this also the hard way, and that alone can also attract trash.

Ahh, I see now that this was in general also as well. Yes, this is useful to add into the article also. Thanks
 
Regardless of any information one wants to share in the forums, we must always be careful of subconscious bias based in negative experiences or traumas, karma, etc. Naturally, because of this, one can end up speaking form a "negative" place when writing said information, laying down personal thoughts of situations rather than being able to come out of that bubble and expand awareness to include the things that in some ways have or do hurt us or make us uncomfortable to acknowledge, and speak without tones on. This can influence people in one way or another. We're not completely immune from the influence of others, but here we can learn how to manage it over time. It's not easy, but that's why we're here.

We all have a responsibility as to how our words impact whoever they are directed to, be it another SS in discussion/argument, or simply those reading them. There are two sides to every coin. Finding the balance between them, rather than the "he said/she said" game of bite-and-bite-back-and-bite-again-harder until the bridges are burned, will help improve communications between each other no matter the topic at hand. We're capable of being considerate of each other, and considerate of our audiences, who can be of any age group and any background, any programming and karma. After all, we're all people, and we all deserve the respect to be spoken to as people by our own. I don't mean coddling, to clarify.

If emotional battles are a struggle for anyone here, then work further with void meditation and clearing moon related karma.

Shadowcat, if you're going through Mercury karma right now, then this entire situation is self-explanatory, and something to keep in mind if you find yourself in argument like this again during it. JG Blitz mentioned to me some time back, that as we work through karma, situations relating to it can be "artificially" created and occur in our lives (or something like that), until it is passed and cleared away.

People react to this since it's all energy affecting energy, and vice versa from yourself to others.

This goes for anyone reading this, and just something to keep in mind.

I appreciate your input. This is something I started sometime back so mercury will not be the only planet I am trying to purge karma from. If it gets bad enough there may even be periods that I keep to myself for a time. Deep cleaning brings up ALOT, and this also includes sometimes a repeat of annoying patterns of behaviors, also as a way to "clear the air" so to speak, and it sucks.

Due to water dominance, I can have a flair for the dramatic also, which I do know has irritated certain people, I just hope they know I have never had ill intent or lied about anything and will always have good intentions for JOS and every legitimate SS here. I have noticed however due to finding that JOS gives me the semblance of community I never had but wanted, that it has also led me to be too overprotective of the forum and other things, which has probably been more of a hindrance than a help and has also led me to attract the wrong people even at some points, due to being too trusting and open.

Like I mentioned before, family can quarrel sometimes and have problems but it doesn't mean they can't be solved, and I will always differentiate between wanting to direct ill will and hate, and simple argument out of frustration and feeling unheard or misunderstood, although this should have as little time wasted on it as possible also, ideally none. The first as we all know, should be reserved for the enemy.
