It's so rare for me that it's always welcomed with open arms. (i.redd.it)

Honestly when I'm out solo hiking deep in the woods that's where it happens the most for me.

It's bliss when I can lay there with silence in my mind while watching clouds float by.

I really need to go hiking again.

People can't just turn it off? Seriously here. If I don't want thoughts in my head, I just... don't have them.

What? How? For me it's like when someone says "Don't think of an elephant!". If I try to not think I'd only be thinking about not thinking. And then I'd be thinking about how I'm thinking about not thinking and then... until it's thinking about thinking all the way down.

Which is weird to think about actually...

For me basically if I can my blood pumping hard and my heartrate up then my mind gets clearer and clearer.

Not to mention the massive boost in sleep quality that night.

That’s so unfair :(

No. Are you trolling?

[-] AnarchistArtificer@slrpnk.net 5 points 2 months ago

I don't know if they're trolling, but I do know that some people apparently have this ability. It's baffling to me

My boyfriend can just 'turn his head off'. I don't get it. I have a constant stream of thoughts / music / whatever going on in my brain. Only once I got to experience what its like to 'not have a thought' and that's after taking medication to deal with a panic attack. The next 30 minutes after it was just quiet. It was a very bizzare experience.
