Meditation

What activities do you lose yourself in?

Except I wouldn’t do it outside and I haven’t sat cross legged since Methuselah was a baby. Not that I actually know who Methuselah was.

I need to be warm and I’m too easily distracted not to shut myself away. I also hate the feeling of wind in my hair, and that’s a distraction I don’t need.

I’m not proficient at calming my mind, and the smallest distraction is enough to set the cogs whirring again.

I’ve lived inside my mind a lot of my adult life fighting an ongoing battle with anxiety. I’ve done great work there, but the mind is still the ruling element of my life.

So the bit I’m trying to work with is also the bit fighting back, but I’m up for the battle. 🤣🤣🤣

It’s not as bad as it sounds, I do get some lovely moments that have an incredible effect, and I don’t give up. My main problem at the moment is that there are so many great meditations out there, and a Gemini should never be offered too much choice lol. It’s really not good for us.

We’re life’s mental magpies. “Ooh a new idea gotta try it!” I have found in these days of social media that ideas are on overwhelm and it’s definite information overload. So I’ve returned to my favourites and I’m shutting my mind to the rest.

Sometimes you can focus on improvement too much, and settling into something perfect for you is by far the best idea. Then shut the noise out.

I honestly feel that the focus on wellbeing in my corner of the world is so great that there’s very little time to feel good.

There is new information all the time and the very idea of herbal support gives me a headache. One moment this is the new miracle, the next forget this in favour of that. It never seems to stop.

Feeling good is really all anyone needs. Everything else will follow that. The diet that suits you, drink what suits you, do exercise that you enjoy. Anything else actually causes stress.

We’re all adults, we know how to apply moderation in all things, and that’s the path to peace. Not too much of anything, because too much is always too much. The perfect amount is perfect.

Get that balance and it will be your life that brings that sense of peace. As Amos just said “don’t try to get better or feel better – be better and the rest will follow.”

Best love
