Film you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Trek, Star Wars, LOTR, Marvel, Disney, or Ghibli.

From the 2007 movie Across The Universe, this gif shows Lucy, Jude, and Max singing Dear Prudence to Prudence, who has locked herself in a closet, both literally and metaphorically.

Great example of noticing the extraordinary amidst the ordinary, and the unfamiliar hidden with the familiar. I aspire to keep my senses tuned for such noticing. #PracticalPronoia

9 years ago today, 6/30/17, I arrived in Vietnam for the 1st time. Almost immediately, I snapped this photo in a taxi going from the airport to my hotel. Through the windshield, the words on that driver's jacket hit me as an amazing Welcome To Saigon sign. It's my favorite picture I've ever taken.

The view is from the back seat of a taxi. Looking past the driver's ID and reflection in the rear view mirror, there is a lot of traffic in front of the car. The nearest motorbike driver is wearing a jacket that says across the back: Good Fuckin' Vibes.

Tomorrow #Vietnam celebrates Tết in honor of the Lunar New Year. The greeting chúc mừng năm mới means happy new year, inspiring this chơi chữ (pun) variation. Who else regularly makes mixed language puns? #BilingualLogic #langsky #wordplay #StarTrek #Nimoy #Spock

Got some extra exercise today. Heavy rain began while I was on the treadmill at the gym. After my run, I got to swim home! #langsky #Vietnamese #flood

This is a cartoon meme of a smiling young man in a red t-shirt with a big gold star in the center of his chest (the flag of Vietnam). He is standing in flood water up to his left elbow. His right arm is raised to wave his hand. A quote bubble appears above him saying: "Hi dear! The Vietnamese word you need to learn right now is lũ (flood)" #langsky

I just meditated a while, then the Universe began laughing me without effort or thinking. When the fun & noisy breaths eventually stopped, a sense of I/me/self returned with a lighter body, quiet mind, & soaring spirit grateful for being simply infinite. Laughter remains my best teacher.

I watched the woman at the fruit shop handle several coconuts before picking this one for me. As she gave it to me I said "chỉ tốt nhất cho tôi" and we both laughed. Very satisfying to make a joke in Vietnamese. #langsky (translation: "only the best for me.")

An white coconut wedged open slightly on top rests in my hand in front of a brown background.

Give The People What They Want was huge for me as a kid. Watching this new vid, I realized Destroyer was my mindset then & for years beyond.

This example actually shows how #simple #MentalHealth can be from understanding one thing: You feel what you think as you think it. That's the #NatureOfThought. It's the same for everyone, everywhere, all the time. It's not a NT/ND thing at all! Check your own experience for proof.

You don't make me anxious. No matter how much you think, you'll only ever make yourself anxious. That's the #NatureOfThought. Understanding this is the crux of emotional regulation. #overthinking #anxiety #clarity

This is a simple drawing of two glasses of water side by side.

On the left, the water appears muddy as a spoon stirs up bits of dirt. The muddy water is labeled "chaos" and under the glass it says "when you overthink."

On the right, all the bits of dirt have settled to the bottom and most of the glass contains blue water labeled "clarity." Under this glass it says "when you stay still."

There is no attribution for creating this image but the metaphor appears in Jamie Smart's book Clarity about the self-correcting nature of the mind.

Not naive, delusional or theoretical. Understanding thoughts/feelings as two sides of one coin allows inner workings to self regulate well. Misunderstanding this creates dysregulation. It's the #NatureOfThought for all humans of any neurotype. No need to trust my words. 1/2

We feel whatever we are thinking. Feelings are feedback about thoughts in the moment we think them. All feelings, not just fear or anxiety. Do not take my word for this. I'm not trying to convince or persuade. I'm pointing. Look to your own experience for evidence. 3/7
