Mindfulness
Several people recently have used phrases like "live in the moment" , "come to terms with your new normal", "be mindful".
This has never been me. I have always been a multi-tasker kind of person with my mind on the next thing, or even the next several things. I have never been a "mindful" person.
I am going to try hard though to be that person. I have been recommended the work of Kabat-Zinn which I intending to look into. The problem is that I immediately thought about downloading it to my Droid so that I can read it in spare moments while dashing around multi-tasking. I think I will get his Mindfulness for Beginners first:)

lol - downloading a book about mediation techniques on your droid. I read a basic book on yoga, and practice some simple concepts. I think this all boils down to is to be able to empty your mind and pull the pain/stress out of your body with breathing. Getting the swirl of thoughts out of my head was the biggest challenge. I read somewhere,... don't engage the thoughts, let them come up and pass.
ReplyDeleteI am glad to see that you are open to this. Being somewhat relaxed is sure to help with your treatment and make your family more comfortable.
