"Life is suffering". Better to accept it. There is joy in life but what you are present for even without training your mind is suffering. It's way easier to recognize and remember than joy.

What do you mean by "natural or within range of possibility"?

One is consistent by doing, not by feeling (of course feelings have their own place in life). I don't enjoy going to the gym per se. I let go of that and go. I don't go because I feel happy and motivated before exercise. First, I went because people for thousands of years have saying so, and biologically it makes sense. Then, because I know how I feel in the short and long term after the exercise.

I do different sports for enjoyment and different for keeping in shape of course. I love hiking but going to a gym is more sustainable as a regular way of keeping in shape in all seasons and weather.

You might have heard it from other places but meditation. It's literally training you to be present with your thoughts and knowing what exactly is happening in your mind at the moment (and letting it go).

Once you start meditating regularly you can observe that you got tangled up in thoughts quite early on and pull yourself back.

As many practitioners say it helps to create space between impulse and action.

Do you have some sources to recommend or have you learned it all from your own experience?

It can be great for party setting but I recommend doing it in the safe environment with family, friends at home or in nature. The feeling of deeper connection with people or nature you already have connection with is revealing. I felt love I knew in even more direct and pure way.

Why it always need to be only about productivity and not what is better for people? I get that company need to make money but surly productivity is not dropping 50% and company makes significantly less

The problem is simple means diffrent thing in a small codebase than in a big one. A bunch of if statements in a code that is small enough to understand everything is ok but when it become big it's hard to understand flow of data.

I do favor simple code but some complexity/abstracion is needed to make it easier to understand
