I've kinda been living in my head these past months. I've come up for air a few times. Looked at either the first posts in my reader, or a few of those in my notifications or emails. I'm not sure who decides what shows where. I haven't been around recently. Not on here. (Nor on…

I've an appointment with the CMHT (community mental health team) tomorrow morning - this morning really. My alarm is set for about 6.5 hours from now. Was messing with burning which I don't count as burning because it doesn't scar. Finally stopped. I don't feel nervous at all. I guess I am in some way.…
Journaling 101 22nd Sept 20
My head's hurting and I want to try and sleep but I need to get some stuff down. Really 2 entirely different points. I feel guilty writing on here when others may read and I've read about 3 posts from others in the past 3 weeks. (I usually read every post of everyone who follows…
MBSR (7)
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…

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…
I’m tired.
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…
