Confession from the least calm member of this club: I joined Arjun Pillai's Wednesday sit last night for the first time. The first ten minutes were a list of server alerts in my head. The last ten were actually quiet. I'll be back next week.
For anyone wondering how I managed it: phone in another room, laptop camera off, a cushion on the floor. Nothing fancy.
What helped most was the tip to count breaths up to ten and start again whenever I lost count. I lost count a lot.
Note to self: don't open the moderation queue five minutes before the sit.
If you're new like me, the Wednesday session is free and you can just drop in. See you there.
