Here's a very similar article from yesterday! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23992913 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23992913
Apparently we're all getting burnt out from meditating too much during our lockdown. Instead of trying to work towards a permanent good mood, here's some perspective from a psychotherapist on high mood (or higher consciousness as it is described here) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqCOss4hqnE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqCOss4hqnE
Perhaps instead of trying to make it permanent, we should gather insights from our temporary high mood when it comes, and learn to embrace our default non-euphoric mood because high mood doesn't sit so well with our important tasks at hand. Now get back to work.
- DenisM 6y agoClimbing the mood mountain is highly individual but the basecamp is shared by most - suspend all responsibilities for two weeks, reduce or suspend all media, load up on favorite music, find HIIT You love, disconnect the phone apart from maps, go somewhere sunny, read enjoyable books, hang out with other people who are chilling (Climbers, hikers, mnt bikers, etc). Two weeks of this will put you way above the clouds, the path up from there will be more individual.
