@Arcius: It's not detailed compared to Caedon, but it's still cute. Though items, especially accessories, seem limited.
I can assure you the limited items issue is going to be resolved soon! We have quite a great team of pixel artists churning out the good stuff. @Arcius: It's not detailed compared to Caedon, but it's still cute. Though items, especially accessories, seem limited.

I believe it's a good thing, that way lurkier folk get a similar chance as folk who are able to post more

@Vesta Rose: Thats precisely why I had to start off not by thinking of nothing, but by thinking of a simple shape. That way, I'm not exactly trying to avoid certain thoughts at all, Im just re-enforcing a solid blue circle in my minds eye (or perhaps try repeating a phrase if you're not good at visualization). When I waver, I usually don't notice until I'm deep in some weird thought, but I just re-direct back as soon as I realize.
Other techniques include things like staring at a candles flame, concentrating on your breathing or even advanced breathing techniques (I have not personally looked into that last one, but I've heard of some cool results.)

@Vesta Rose: You absolutely will get those thoughts, and its ok :D For me, it was all about finding the right technique. Google or Youtube can be helpful. The best advice is to just not let the distractions be discouragements. Sometimes those thoughts need to surface in order to be moved past.

@Vesta Rose: There are lots of techniques, and probably some good varieties online... but my go-to to start was to think of a simple shape... and concentrate on just that. It was helpful to have some bland music in the background. Eventually I was able to concentrate on nothing and hold that non-thought for quite some time. I stared for about 15 minutes at a time and worked my way up, but if its hard try for 5. I'm up to 45 minutes before I become too antsy. You wont be able to clear your mind completely at first, and that is ok. Practice makes perfect.

@Vesta Rose: EVERYONE has thoughts like these, they're really not a big deal. Your mind is YOUR sanctuary, anything that happens inside is your business. Just because someone has morbid thoughts doesn't mean they will act on them, and a lot of the times its a subconscious thing. Your brain is set up to protect itself from worst-case scenarios and part of that is sometimes random creepy imagery or scary thoughts.
Meditation is helpful for me, because you can just STOP thinking. It takes a lot of practice to be able to turn it on and off like a switch, bit it does wonders for my anxiety.

Normal is overrated. It's normal to have invasive thoughts, especially morbid ones. But I suggest meditation if you feel a need to take a break.
