Good article and helpful. One cannot emphasize enough that taking care of yourself is not self-indulgent and it may be the most selfless way to help others as we are of not useful when our mental or physical health declines.

I take exception to the idea of meditation as a time to focus on yourself. I think we do that too much already. In most Buddhist traditions meditation is a time to simply be without thinking or acting, simple breathing, letting go of ideas in order to see the illusion of that dream we call “reality.”

Great article! Especially love the advice to be a creator, something Peepoo definitely doesn't understand.

It's unfortunate that Borysenko appears to incapable of comprehending what Johnathan Solov in trying to explain to her. If you check out her Twitter account, you'll see that she's quite into herself so it's not surprising that 's she incapable of going beyond her own self-absorption and condescending attitude.

So what are you doing with your life? Are you a creator or a destroyer? On balance, I mean. Looking at your net activity over the past four months. Physician - er - org psych - heal thyself. Don’t burnout again.

Maybe you would find Zen by being an ally rather than a hate filled loser...just saying.

And this is just some general vague self help advice, it has nothing to do with "wokeness" but hey "the first amendment is my jam" so I will let you run with "your jam" hahah

I have no idea what this 1990s parody of what "spirituality" is, but hey, I guess 7 years at Capella U doesn't get you the best education!
