The atheistic equivalent of 'pray for me'?

[laklak]

I'm raising a cold Corona for you as we speak, Rum. And thinking good thoughts, for whatever that's worth.

Whenever someone asks me to pray for them or one of their loved ones, I usually respond "I'll have a drink for them".

Straightforward meditative practice works fine. You know all this Rum, you've been along that road. It is important to still the racing horses of the mind and all that stuff. Meditation does have a effect on a your mental health - studiess have shown longterm meditators are happier and more optimistic/realistic. All prayer is can be found in meditative practice - stilling the mind for twenty minutes a day is enough. And you reduce your reliance on woo when you know your doing 'nothing' yourself.

Perhaps you should try it?

Imagine how depressing I'd be if I didn't.

Hugs and oxytocin-boosting activities work for me. Get some hugs! One is from me!

So far the candle up the arse strategy seems the most likely to be the most efficacious to me!

Go for a five mile run and get the runner's high!

Or do what I do, and drink more gin!

Cheers, mate!

Fine, fuck you, then ... meanwhile, I'll drink alone.

Feeling depressed today and struggling. Being me I know it will last a day or two and I will feel better, but it just occurred to me that if you are a wooist of the Xian kind you can ask people to 'pray' for you. I can actually imagine that being of at least psychological benefit.

Anyone any ideas about an atheistic equivalent?

Maybe it's "Stop whining. Just do what I do and decide to be happy."
