There is different kinds of meditation. It's mainly about focusing on one thing so you can develop your concentration. Definitely not falling asleep. But it helps to sleep when you actually want to sleep since your mind is more peaceful

Used to do it often when I was a kid. Couldn't do it recently. Definitely helps!

Serious question. What do you do when you meditate? Do you think about stuff while you sit quietly and close your eyes? Or not think about stuff? Fall asleep? I always thought meditation was silly but maybe I'm just ignorant.

Nothing in my mind when I mediate

Waste of my time

Love it. Can't recommend it enough.

Has anyone experienced difficulties with speech/thinking through taking anti-depressants or from suffering with long term depression? I first started noticing difficulties in articulating my thoughts at university and my career in consulting has only made this more prominent. I feel embarrassed, really depressed and incompetent because of this. This is one of the greatest anxieties I have regarding my performance and I find it is really effecting my development.

I need to let it out but I’m so fucking proud of myself and I just realized how lucky I got and it took me until just now to see it. I started in the military and it only took 2 months for me to get out and fall into a bottomless hole of depression. My transition went from: $13 an hour part time, separation with the wife, new job at $18 an hour for physical labor, hit with disability diagnosis, then $20 an hour new office job, reconnecting with wife, having 2nd kid, nearly divorcing (cont.)

I finally was able to convince my principal that we need a consistent math intervention at the MS level (grades 5-8). (Right now, we are just "doing our own thing," which isn't helping students progress much.) Does anyone have any suggestions? It would be beneficial to have some sort of progress monitoring tool as part of the program, if possible. Our classes run roughly 55 minutes (which is too long for an intervention, in my humble opinion).

Thanks for any advice.
