How many of you suffer from depression/negativity?
I am not sure why many people haven't mentioned this beautiful thing called "meditation". In a world full of chaos it is the only thing that keeps me sane.
I’ve always wanted to meditate but I’m too distracted to really sit and meditate. My mind wanders constantly. Also I’m not sure I truly understand what one is supposed to do while meditating.

Actually that's a big misconception just sit at your study table with your eyes closed and observe your breath without trying to control it for 5 minutes. It will feel like you had a nice quick power nap.

Feel that. Everyone struggles with that in the beginning I guess. However, that is the point of whole exercise. It is supposed to train you to control your thoughts and not let your mind veer away. You focus on your breathing, minor sounds and smells around you and don't allow your mind to focus on anything other than that. Initially, while meditating I had this very strong urge to move physically or just itch anywhere. Controlling it is difficult but you slowly get better at it. This is how it helps you improve your concentration- not letting you mind focus on immaterial things.
My interpretation of it. Someone may explain it better. I hope it was not gibberish and I made some sense.
chamomile,All these meditation tips are making me want to try it out for earnest. Is there some set time you guys would recommend I start with? Do you meditate when you feel overwhelmed, or is it built into your daily routine? Do you do it on an “as and when” basis or do you do it daily?
Early in the morning before coffee or late in the night right before sleep works well for me. You may want to try and see how it goes for you.
Not promoting but app called headspace helped me. Try kar sakte ho. First 10 session free deta hai.

Could you please walk us through the app? I got its subscription in the Times Prime package, but I couldn't understand the app properly.

Not sure if qualified to do that. I use the free version only by recycling basic free sessions. Let me try. It has recorded audios under 4 categories:
i) Meditation- Guided sessions where you can choose between male/female voice and how long you want to meditate (3-20 minutes).
ii) Sleep- Soothing sounds for sleeping like rains, bird chirps and stories.
iii) Move- Workout videos like yoga, cardio and stretching.
iv) Focus- Motivational/mood elevating kinda stuff and even some of Zimmer's tracks.
chamomile,AzadHindFauz@root @Neyawn can we have a “be respectful, be nice” policy like Reddit?
These sort of comments which the user in question has been making for the past few weeks are of course irritating, gauging from the replies they have gotten, but it could be much worse. It could be doing irreparable harm to silent readers who are already going through difficult mental health phases. Given the state of awareness in our country, even such nonsensical comments can have a bad impact.
What happens is that a few of us end up replying to counter the points made. I’m sure we try to ignore it a few times and respond when it becomes unbearable at a certain point. One can always say “don’t feed the trolls, ignore them”, and that has its merits. But in this case someone has to step in because this person sometimes attacks people directly, at which point ignoring him is not a good choice. It is not pleasant for anyone to have to respond to him, but sometimes a response is necessary. If we had some moderation for this kind of stuff, this problem would be solved.
This harms not just the people the comments are directed at (though even that should be reason enough), but the peace of mind of everyone else as a whole. And that’s just speaking of mental health. The caste-baiting is a whole other issue. He brings up caste and reservation out of nowhere in a provocative manner. Surely in a country where we have laws punishing very similar utterances we need to be more careful and strict about such things.
I am saying this because I care deeply about the wonderful people here. There are great users making a lot of valuable contribution - and some are being driven away by this kind of nonsense. If it were some ideological disagreement I would understand, but to lose the support system that forum, is just for the sake of such childish unnecessary comments, would be very sad. No one deserves to be mocked for sharing their stories, and no one deserves to have to waste their time and energy arguing with a troll. I am not asking for this just because I find it personally disagreeable, but because I think it is harming the whole of forum and its forumness.
What according to you should be the moderation policy? Right now when enough number of users report a comment, the profile gets banned. The ban is progressive in nature . Read here

For some reason, 10 people have not reported the comments, even if more number of people have reported it.
