I don't know how much sense this is going to make since there's so much flying around my head and I'm writing this just to get it down and give me some space. Funny, usually I'd give myself time to absorb things. I didn't write out the rest of week 4 - I had 3…
Journaling 103 (9) TW
I've nothing to say. I wrote 2 more pages in my gratitude journal. Aiming for 2700 for when I'm 27. I'm weird. This is one of the things I journalled about today. I see myself to getting to 2700 gratitudes. I don't know if there's a point buying new things or getting the tooth work…
MBSR (6) – overview of week 4
I'm going to try and do this as an overview, as really I have so much to say about every point. There were only 6 participants this week (plus 2 training practitioners, and the mindfulness teacher who mostly stays silent). Started with a 3 stage breathing space. We were meant to do that 3 times…
MBSR (5) Striving vs Accepting. Where both are true.
Striving. Aiming for somewhere. Accepting. Accepting yourself and where you're at. This has been playing around in my head today since they said a day ago that mindfulness means non striving. I began writing about it in my previous post about the class. If I could have actually said it then, I would've. Mindfulness means…
MBSR (4) – Todays zoom class 3/8
Mindfulness attitudes - Beginner’s Mind or Curiosity, Patience, Non-judging, Non-striving, Kindness and Compassion towards ourselves and others, Trust, Acceptance or Allowing, Letting Go Today was a mixture. At the beginning we were told that one of the participants of the group wouldn't be coming back. I found that jarring and we weren't given time to…
MBSR (3) – Mindfulness and grounding
What does mindfulness mean? What is mindfulness? What does mindfulness do? The way I'd put it simply is being present. To be mindful is to be aware. To be present. Am some people think mindfulness is the same as meditation. Meditation is focus and stillness and is really a different ballgame. It's got some similarities…
MBSR (2) – Primary and Secondary Experiences
I don't think I'll write this well but wanted to put this down for someone here. Random thought. Mindfulness reminds me a lot of Innate Health. Of just being. Reminder of mindfulness attitudes • Beginners mind - curiosity• Not judging• Patience• Non striving - don't stress too much - have a goal but don't put…
MBSR – mindfulness course, thoughts (1)
Just noticed that my upper arms were tense. But coz I noticed it they aren't so much (often when I tune into something it's too much so isn't there) . I'm definitely more aware of my body. Ive been writing out some of my last letters to myself, in them I was often grounding myself…
