Hello everyone... I have some very sad news; my recent Buddhist-style fast has ended in disaster... I will post more details later, as I begin to recover from the trauma of the experience
Aww... what happened?
I will post later and share what happened.... it was a disturbing experience, though....
Frame what happened as a lesson. Think out what happened, and what it means. Then, see it as an opportunity to learn, and be prepared in the future. When you are older, you can teach your kids based on your experiences, and they win from it. Perhaps even your grandchildren will learn valuable lessons from it.
I am sorry it went badly for you, but do your best to make something good from the remains.
Thanks, Bob... I will seriously think about that.... I'll post a more detailed message tomorrow letting everyone know what actually happened
I'm sorry to hear that your Buddhist-style fast ended in disaster. It sounds like a difficult experience for you. When you feel ready, I encourage you to share what happened with others as a way to process and perhaps find some meaning in the situation. Sharing your experience can also potentially help others who may be facing similar challenges or considering similar fasting practices.
When you do share, it can be helpful to frame what happened as a lesson or an opportunity for growth. Reflect on the experience and try to understand what went wrong and why. This can help you learn from the situation and be better prepared in the future.
Additionally, consider how you can use this experience in a positive way. As you mentioned, when you have children or grandchildren in the future, you can share your learnings with them and help them avoid similar pitfalls. This can be a way to turn a negative experience into something that benefits others.
Take your time to recover from the trauma and when you feel ready, share your story. Remember that opening up and talking about difficult experiences can be cathartic and can also create a supportive community around you. I wish you the best in your recovery and in finding meaning from this challenging experience.
