A Minute of Mindfulness: My First 3Speak Post
A couple of years ago, my sister in law started or participated (I'm not sure which anymore) an inititive
on Facebook called "Be Still 60" where she would post a video either every week or day (again, I don't remember)
that was 60 seconds long and was something calming that you could listen to.
Whenever @mrsbozz and I were on our travels we would keep an eye out for relaxing places where
we could take a video to share with her sister. In fact, I think her sister was getting videos from people
all over the country and she would give them a shout out when she shared that particular video.
I've been pretty clear about the fact that I don't normally do video content. I don't consider myself even a
passable public speaker and I don't like the sound of my voice, so why would I want to share that with the
world. Although, if you knew where to look, there is a Youtube Channel that has me speaking in some public meetings.
Not to dox myself or anything.
The idea of taking a moment to just relax and clear your mind is pretty well known and accepted. My wife has
an app on her phone called "Calm" and every day at 4 PM a gong chimes and you are supposed to be quiet and
not say anything until you can't hear the gong anymore.
There has also been a lot of research into the benefits of "white noise" and now "brown noise" for helping with
mental health issues like ADHD and Autism (or the PC term nuerodivergence).
In any event, I thought if I was going to dip my toes in the water with 3Speak, what better way than to share a
video I took on the shores of Lake Huron just about a month ago. I've written several other posts about how
we were able to score a prime campsite right along the water.
We spent the better part of our few days that weekend sitting by the lake and just watching the water and listening to the waves
It was so thereputic.
Believe it or not, it's actually quite hard to get a solid one minute video without it being interrupted. The
worst part is when you are just about to that 60 minute mark and something happens that requires you to
start all over again.
Talk about frustrating!
I hope you enjoy this video. If I get a good response, it might not be the last one I do. Like I said, @mrsbozz and I
have been saving up videos for years to share with her sister. I should point out, her sister doesn't really do the
"Be Still 60" thing anymore, and the only videos I share will be ones that myself or my wife took, so hopefully there
shouldn't be any issue or concern about recycled content.
Despite my apprehension, there has always been something about creating video content that "tugs" at me.
Who knows, if I get comfortable doing this, you might actually see a proper video of me one day.
Don't hold your breath though!

Imagine doing a show for a living and having to do retake after retake because something keeps screwing up the take... I don't think I would have the patience!

That actually reminds me of a scene from the recent movie Babylon. Have you seen that? The part where they are working on a sound stage for the first time and everything keeps going wrong.
I haven't! Where does it stream?
We watched it on Paramount +. My wife hated it. It was interesting. Definitely a raunchy homage to Singing in the Rain.
That was hilarious!
Probably my favorite scene in the whole movie. That and the snake fight scene.
I just got the DAB presale notice. Are you going to buy any? Since I bought the DBOND presale they would only be 20 HBD each...
Yeah, and the way it sounds you only need one of the tokens, so I am going to buy one for sure. I might buy two to see if I can sell one on the secondary market after they are gone. Not sure yet!
good stuff
Thank you!
Very nice moment of Zen!
I love that your wife uses an app like that and you try to look for peaceful moments too.
I've never had much luck with 3speak and tend to just use youtube or odyssey. But I hope it works for you and you get some upvotes from it.
I finally figured it out. There was an issue with it connecting via Keychain. Once I entered my posting key manually I was in. Now fingers crossed I don't get hacked :) Thanks, we spend a lot of time out in nature, so we try to appreciate it as much as we can and probably more than some people.
Stillness is hard, you know...
I definitely know. It's a good exercise for me. My mind is always racing!
We're all in this position 😀
Sometimes all we need is a minute of peace and relaxation so we don't go crazy in such a hectic world.

You must be killin' it out here!
@tokenpimp just slapped you with 5.000 PIMP, @bozz.
You earned 5.000 PIMP for the strong hand.
They're getting a workout and slapped 2/3 possible people today.

That was fantastic. I loved the sea gull too!!
Thanks, I appreciate it. I had to stop and start over again a couple of times because a kid would yell in the background.
Making videos is quite difficult for me too because I may be distracted by one thing or another but this video is cool...
Thanks, I appreciate it. Getting it posted was just about as difficult as making it. I'm definitely more of an old school creator!
Very relaxing, that must be a large lake if you cannot see land on the other side.
It's a Great Lake :)
It's the one on the right along the edge of the mitten.
The other side is Canada if you could see it.
Very beautiful satellite image! Thank you so much for sharing it! It's so beautiful and fascinating to see the Great Lakes from above, all the more with clear visibility as the clouds were shifting towards the east in this aerial photograph. All the best!
Yeah, Michigan is a pretty awesome place. No shortage of water for sure.
Wow, such a beautiful and tranquil video with the amazing sound of the waves gently splashing on to the beach on a such a sunny day! Thank you so much for sharing this! All the best, take care, stay safe, and plenty of success here on HIVE!
Thanks, you too! I appreciate the comment!
You're most welcome! All the best!
The beautiful and rocky beach makes it feel like I want to take a sea bath there 👍
The water was a bit cold this weekend, but that didn't keep plenty of people from going out. We saw several swimmer.
Even if it is, in my opinion, it is an obstacle, if my conscience calls me to go to the beach, it will still happen, my friend
