Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I've been on edge almost all the time when I'm at work. I feel like it's mostly my mindset though, and most of the time things happen to be not as bad as I imagined.

Now I can't work unless I'm listening to music.

When I can't sit in the quiet it's because my brain is circling around something uncomfortable. I wouldn't dare to presume to tell you that's what you're doing, or what to do about it. It could be something as simple as "I've got something I want to talk about with my partner", it could be something foundational to who i am as a person and I'm gonna have to acknowledge it and work on it.

Things like this are why meditation is important. Few if any of us are able to sit comfortably in the quiet in a way that will benefit our minds and bodies. It's natural to be looking to the past or the future, and doing so has its place. We learn from the past, and we plan for the future. What meditation will teach you is how to delineate between looking at the past and future and obsessing over the past and future past the point where it serves you. It teaches you how to, in the words of Ram Dass, Be Here Now.
