I thought the weenis was a dance?

Ah, my time to shine!

Yeah, I basically see it as purposeful relaxing, like having a long bath.

YMMV but I've found meditation helps.

Sit somewhere quiet, close your eyes and focus on slowing down your breathing and try to feel your heart rate slow. After a minute or two, then try to think of nothing, or listen for the quietest sound you can hear and focus on that (a ticking clock in another room, someone else breathing, etc).

Now this is where it may be different for you. I was diagnosed with adhd has a kid and what I'm describing next is with that in mind. Basically all day my brain feels like it's full of bees, sometimes less active, other times it's a deafening buzz.

After a few further minutes of focusing on that quite sound, I'll find individual things randomly pop in to my head, rather than a bunch all at once. Each time this happens I focus on what that thing is, and how it makes me feel. If for example I get angry, I let myself feel that, I don't try and stuff it down, but I don't let it overwhelm me. If I start to feel overwhelmed, I go back to the beginning and focus on slowing down my breathing.

In effect I'm trying to observe, and experience, that emotion simultaneously. This helps me do two things, first and foremost, I have much better - and healthier - control of my emotions during negative experiences (e.g. high stress), and can keep myself calm. Second, it allows me to go back to those emotions after the fact, and spend time working out why that experience led to that emotional response.

For frustration, sure, you can wail on a punching bag while blasting Hammer Smashed Face (which is very good in the moment), but I've found that that didn't help me handle my emotions any better, it just meant I took out that repressed anger on other things. Which, sure, is probably better than nothing, but doesn't help it you don't have access to a punching bag.

God I hate marketing people.

It depends on circumstances you haven't provided.

  • Do they know the company is evil?
  • if so, do they agree with what the company is doing?
  • if not, do they have any viable alternate options?
  • if they don't, do they have any undesirable options?
  • if so, they are choosing known evil over inconvenience
  • if not, then they are stuck

It's all lies!

I mean look, if there really was countryside like they portray in the show, do you really think, in real life, everyone would stay in London all the time, and then holiday on some Spanish island?

Nothing that idilic and dream like is real, I mean, that's sort of the point of the overall story, but I don't want to spoil it if you haven't read the books so I better stop there.

Surely not?!

 

This match is for NORTH's Ultraviolent Championship, and is from last year's Thunderstruck event, which is the biggest crowd so far with ~700 attendees.

If the venue looks familiar, it's because it's in the Walker Dome, where Impact/TNA held Turning Point last year.
