• Zero stimulation
• Going outside

Choose one

Yeah not for nothing, but as cliche as "touch grass" sounds...some days you really just need to.

Don't necessarily have to touch the grass, directly, with your hands. That's kinda gross. Animals poop there. But like...walk on a trail somewhere. Or a park. Fresh air. Nature.

As an entirely non-spiritual person, it kind of does "mend the soul", as they say. Not a literal soul, but your metaphorical, metaphysical, psyche.

I suddenly feel real bad for people who don't have adequate "nature" an accessible distance from their home. That must be actual torture. Humans need to move, to explore. We need to breathe fresh air. Being stuck in a concrete jungle a few blocks wide is no different than being a caged hen, or a bunny in a tiny hutch...with the outdoors surrounding you constantly....freedom taunting you openly.

Or maybe I'm just high. Idk.

I see you've never met my dreams.

I highly recommend. The body is going to hurt badly afterwards, but it's worth it. You can wake up with that feeling of "what year is it" and it's amazing. Hopefully it's only 24h and not much more where you look outside and see dark or light without expecting and having no idea if you even are in the right world.

Tried one but I didn't last 15 minutes because I couldn't get comfortable. It's hard to find a good position when the saltwater is burning your crotch, and the the only floatie they give you is half a pool noodle. Plus it didn't help that the chamber didn't actually get dark enough. Who the hell thought it would be a good idea to make it out of white plastic and stick it in a room with windows and a light that doesn't turn off? It was impossible to get it completely dark.

Thankfully the spa employee was understanding and gave me a refund. But if you're a resort who is going to advertise a sensory deprivation chamber as part of your spa package, you should at least do it right.

Camping not being stimulating is one of the nicest sounding things about north America. Here in Europe, everywhere is so densely populated that you can't just camp everywhere. You have to go to a campsite. Wildlife has sparse enough space as is, so it makes sense that you can't just pitch a tent in their habitat.

And campsites are always so full of strangers. Not relaxing or understimulating at all. Kinda wish I could just go out into the wild and pitch a tent and be by myself the way north Americans seem to do. Sounds super relaxing.

camping has a nice view though

It sounds like camping with less steps. I'm kind of curious now.

i often bring a small stringed instrument and a book when i'm camping. also cooking can be fun.

Yeah but you don't sit still while camping.

I like this as a ritual once a year. Maybe I’ll try it.

Count your breaths

When you find that your mind has wandered, start the count over

Don't keep track of anything

imagine little scenarios

I'm pretty sure that habit is why i take so long to fall asleep every night.

..., no food...

And also

It takes 10 days

There must be something to it 🤔
