Our minds catastrophize - that's their default mode in order for us to survive. When we see something that's disturbing on the television, in an intrusive thought, in movies, in real-life - our brains think the bad things are happening to us even if they aren't. We can reverse engineer that process for calming/meditation by daydreaming, watching calming content, by noticing the glimmers (anti-triggers) all around us. One of the many ways I've been advocating we do this - is by looking at live webcams from around the world. If you have the internet, you can get to these cams and the variety is amazing. Here are a few I recommend:
Twitch - a working small farm with cams that watch the cute animals do their things: https://www.twitch.tv/wpfarm
Youtube has many live-cams and you can just search for what you're interested in. Here's one that I love to watch. Check out the airport strip there, and then look up that airport and see the daring dive the planes have to do to land on that strip! There have been people who've been on the ground and TOUCHED the planes as the planes are in flight and diving!
Earthcam dot com is a site that has many links to many different webcams across the world. Pick one and imagine some adventures! Cheap way to have a vacation and see places and things you might not have seen before!
