I feel like I’m finally able to find and get more zen in my life meaning being peaceful and calm. That can be really hard to do in today’s rushed, busy and stressed out world. When I was working I was always supposed to go fast at whatever I was doing and get as much done as possible. I didn’t like that. I feel like I’m a man of rest.
Do you do anything to get some zen in your life?
I just take extra L-theanine 
I watched the morning sunrise with the noise of nature all around and look for that peaceful bit of mind
I get what you mean.
Theres a debate tho if schizophrenics should work or not. The debate is in my head that is.
From where I live which is the Philippines. We don’t have the same benefits from 1st world countries.
Tho I hope with the new incumbent president we have he would be as brilliant as his father. I hope we would have more benefits. But the new admin has so much to deal with more pressing issues I don’t think Pwds are priority right now.
Pwds like the blind have to work like masseuses here. I always feel for them. .
But there are days where living at is is so much of a struggle. Taking care of oneself is a full time effort. Just sharing. I might get opposing views but I understand.
I go for walks in nature to find my zen. Peace.
I wish L-theanine worked for me years ago when I needed help but I don’t think it ever helped calm me down.
I woke up before 6am this morning but the sun was already up.
I think everyone should work if they’re able to but I know not everyone can work even if they want to.
I go for walks too and I think they help.
I like to be able to stay home and just go to the Co-op and go to groups a few times a week. My house is my zen area. I feel safe here.
I agree. Well said. It’s not a defeatist mindset schizophrenia really is difficult to live with.
When I was at work, I was often told to go faster, like yourself.
I did some work for an elderly neighbor couple. She kept telling me, “Slow down. Don’t hurt yourself.” It worked out well for me.
Sometimes I listen to deep relaxation music.
I do a few things.
Those are not relaxing music afaik. I listened to this last night:
Lol i said relaxing for me
‘Relaxation’ music just puts me to sleep 
I use it to calm my anger too.
I use metal music for that. I try to transfer the energy out to the music lol. Calms the chaos for me
Just another different excotic name, to be at peace. The best is to stay off caffeine,nicotin, alcohol and other drugs affecting your mind.
