Mindfulness mediation. Waking Up app is a great start. Also maybe your emotions are causing physical manifestations more often precisely because you are trying to hide them. If you are sad, say you are sad. Maybe expressing your emotions with words will help release them in more socially acceptable ways and lead to better communication.

Bite the inside of your cheek until it hurts enough to distract you from your feelings. Stuff those feelings down. Practice sitting in a public area and pick a point to stare at. Do not let people moving around you distract you from your point. Practice not making eye contact or looking as the pass by.

Ultimately you control your reaction to your emotions. Just takes some practice.

Okay…

“Excellent customer service. Really took great care of me when helping resolve an issue with XYZ.”

Reply to comment by timmyboyoyo in LPT Request: I’m looking for a way to prioritize and track my hobbies (Video Games, Board Games, TV, Movies, etc.) in one place. I’ve looked and have been unable to find a good app/website. by bushbrianw

I’d like a way to rank each hobby independently so when I’m in the mood to play video games for example to decide which one I’d like to play. The ability to add new games is like to play and adjust rankings would be nice to track my various backlogs. I know there are options out there for video games by themselves but not one place to rank different hobbies in the same place.

That's the average amount of days they say it takes to break a habit or form a new one. This indicates to me that this is how long it takes to convince your subconscious of something. I had a class in college where the entire premise was that if you convince yourself of something, your subconscious will strive to make it happen. I've heard a similar concept from other places as well.

I'm not a psychologist, but this indicates to me that if you were to form a new habit by doing this for 66 days, you will convince your subconscious of it, which will in turn cause it to manifest into reality ie: you can train yourself to be more positive

Reply to LPT: Don't look at your clock when waking up during the night to increase your quality of sleep. It's a lot easier to fall back asleep when you don't keep track of the sleeping time you still have left. by migudude

I disagree.

Most people want to go back to sleep when they have to get up for work or school.

Seeing the clock say I still have 2 more hours is amazing.

And if I dont check I will assume its going off soon, which is very unhelpful with falling back asleep.
