Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I don't even remember where I learned it, I think it's some meditation thing? I'll specifically think, "I wonder what my next thought will be." And then try to 1.) keep it quiet as long as possible and/or 2.) if I fail, just try to pay attention to what the thoughts were. Simple enough idea that it stuck with me, you can try it at your desk, and it's kind of a fun little challenge. But also kind of impossible.

I think this is what's referred to as "mindfulness".

This is great! There seem to be quite some tricks out there, one I learned is to focus on the temperature of your breath and where exactly you feel it while breathing. In the beginning it's just little moments of thoughtlessness, but you can make them last longer with practice.

There's also this reply I read on /x/ like ten years ago that has stuck with me, to the question someone asked, "how to meditate" – "Notice the space between 2 thoughts? Enter it."
