    For a few months, I’ve been at that point, where I do not feel bad, no matter what happens. There are no “negative” thoughts that restrict me in any way. I was wondering, what would the next stage, functionality wise be? I’m working on improving my body and solving various problems.

    I was living with monks for a couple of months and I’ve picked up quite a few things from them which has led me to this state.

    Dear Vth:

    You wrote that you no longer experience “‘negative’ thoughts that restrict (you) in any way”-

    I would think that the next stage you asked about would be doing the beneficial things that you were restricted from doing before.

    I am doing everything, I couldn’t do before. My performance and joy has increased as well, in all aspects.

    I’m getting better at skills I used to be “bad” at.

    What I’m thinking is, that I might have not achieved, emotional mastery. I’m satisfied all the time. That isn’t “normal”, because most people aren’t feeling that way. Although, something not being normal, doesn’t mean it’s unhealthy. So, what would emotional mastery be?

    Dear Vth:

    I am looking at the term emotional-mastery with a beginner’s mind, not thinking about anything I read (if I did) about the term, anything written by others. What I think it means is effective management of unpleasant, or distressing emotions. In other words, what to do (skills to use) when experiencing distress/ unpleasant emotions.

    Since you feel “satisfied all the time”- there is no need for you to practice emotional mastery, as there is no distress.

    Your thoughts…?

    Well, I’m not practicing staying calm in “terrible” situations as I don’t see them as terrible situations. Therefore, I’m not affected by them, in negative sense. I’m picking up on other skills rather quickly. So, I’ve decided to focus on part, that certainly needs improvement. That is my body and it’s safety. I’m getting back into martial arts, which will possibly allow me to notice anything I lack in.

    Dear Vth:

    What you mean is that you do not feel distress because you no longer perceive situations as distressing. Except the situation of your body, you perceive your body being unsafe, in danger?

    Sort of. If something bad is going to happen, I’m aware I won’t be enjoying that situation at all, but I don’t feel bad about it. It would make my situation even worse.

    I do find my mind more secure than my body. So I’ve decided to shift my focus on body, which will allow more opportunities to arise as I progress.

    As for the direct answer, I am not confident in my body capabilities of inflicting pain and defending myself, because I haven’t experienced it that much. Still doesn’t mean I feel bad about it. I’m rather enjoying this situation, as I can see how I’m progressing.

    Dear Vth:

    I do hope that you take best care of your mind and body and that you continue to experience calm. I do not know what, if anything, I can possibly offer you. I hope another member has a better idea.

    I’m going through the same situation! I just got over all the problems that were hunting me, and I feel really happy and optimistic all the time! I think what you should do now, is to start investing time to yourself: exercising, reading, learning, etc. Try thinking what do you want to do with your life, what are your goals, what do you love. Try making new friends, and be open to changes! Your true love may be waiting for you, you never know, so just go with the flow, be grateful and keep up the good mood.

    Life is awesome and it can be a son of a bitch sometimes, but its gorgeous and worth living! Have a nice day, greetings from Mexico! <3
