Amazing post.
This should be upvoted to the front page of Steemit!
I came to the same conclusion, and I sincerely hope the rest of the world slowly comes to this realization. Without compassion and empathy, the world will burn in perpetuity. There's just no other possible outcome.
If a decent chunk of the population starts devoting some time on a daily basis to halting the incessant activity of their own minds, we'll be living in a very different world.
Very true words!
Wow, an inspiring post. Yoga, allows a human body to cross all the boundaries and find peace. This is the most purest and magical experience, and apparently this is life.
We get into all sorts of worldly attachments, and eventually we get addicted to all unwanted things. Yoga teaches a human being to experience life.
Hope you will like my recent post on yoga

Thank you :)
defnitely not one of my options,
but i see where are you when you talk about stress removal.
i successfully killed all my connections with media industry after 15 years.
but if im still in, guess id turn to yoga till now =)
i used to fight it by completely separating work from rest of my day. it was not easy, sometimes work used to last for days, nights, weeks - before i get my own time. or i steal the day and go fishing to some remote god forgotten place, only to be called back because ‚‚emergency" just few hours after i arrive. and emergencies are every day.
hopes ill never have to get back into machine ^
and hat down to you, use all the weapons from arsenal, just remain sane and healthy :D
These are very helpful thoughts and tools for rising above the fray. Thank you for the links and for spreading your peace on Steemit!
I'm glad you liked this article, the subject very close to my heart! :)
It's been 3 months since I started meditating and the effects are remarkable. It is important to take some time during the day to reflect and find balance. It's good to have you here, Carey.
Yay! So glad to hear that it's improving your life. A simple practice goes a really long way. :) I started meditating in the morning before going online about a year ago, and I can't even fathom how I used to get by without it!
That is how I start my mornings too now :) By the way, I'm a long time Anti-Media fan <3
Haven't joined the yoga club yet (the pants wouldn't fit me) but...I can relate. I've recently been successful at removing around 99% of the negativity for my feed on FB (most of which was political). I'll be composing my own post about that soon as I get my laptop back. Right now im relegated to writing via my phone...and that's annoying.
Love your posts, though.

Yoga is a LOT more than what you're seeing in the Americanized corporate classes, and definitely has nothing to do with the tight pants.
Ashtanga is made up of 8 limbs, one of which is the asanas that the western programs seem to focus on so much. The internal work is the focus, and the physical work is heavily to help bring you into the present for it.
Hey Carey, Just wanted to ask.. are planks included in yoga or not?
Hi, yep! Both on the hands and the forearms. :)
thanks for sharing your knowledge with us :))
Now i am really motivated to do yoga !
So happy to hear that! Let me know if you have any questions! My email is in the article. :) Yoga is my second passion after promoting peace and freedom!
So ,when finding ones self in a state of informational anxiety, strech it out, an relax
breath,...tension gone,
Absolutely!

Very good read and vids!

Thank you, and such a great quote!
Hello @careywelder, I really enjoyed reading your article. I totally hear you, how challenging it's been for you to deal with the ignorance of the programmed minds, but I'm pleased to hear that you've come a long way practicing compassion for yourself and them. It is key to realize we can only change ourselves, and by trying to force others into our way of thinking, no matter how enlightened we think it is, is only going to bring us frustration and anger. Control is not the way! Allowing, presence, compassion.. all of the goodness we wish to see more in others, we need to generate in greater measure.
I'm glad to meet you.
I also just wrote a post about my experiences and learnings from meditation, if you fancy checking it out.
