This is an excellent one, and one that works great for my level of neuroflavor too.
In my case, in have a big sturdy chair in my back yard next to a pond I built. Having external stimuli to focus on really helps calm the mind and be aware in the moment.
Neuroflavor is a great word, I'm stealing that
Must be satisfying, having the pond you built part of the experience too. I'm just stumbling into the realization that I'm probably going to be in one place for a long time, for the first time, and if my luck continues the WFH will too. In other words I'm realizing I need to widen my scope for how to enjoy my home, to a longer term and to things like that.
Definitely. And even doing the maintenance chores for pond upkeep is a meditative exercise most of the time. Things like cleaning filters. Obviously feeding the fish is an everyday positive. I keep the food container under my big chair out there.
I’m also in a similar situation where I have been in the same place for a long time, and I expect it to stay that way. It’s ideally located and we’ve made it our nice place to be, pond included.
