D20Flow Nothing like a thickly rooted Afternoon Delight to get you through the day. Quickie style at that. Didn't see that coming. ha, that's what she said I like that the durations fluctuate. I don't know why I didn't think that was possible; why did I think there had to be so many fuckin rules about meditation. Why did I think there have to be so many fuckin rules about being healthy or feeling good about yourself or not giving a fuuuuuuccckkk D10Unpack Does anybody else look how long the meditations are before you plan when to 'squeeze' them in your day and I don't mean to be down playing the work we are doing (✨️🙌🏼✨️) by using the word 'squeeze' but the reality is there's only so many fuckinhours & and here WE are making ourselves a priority for ar least a few of those sands in the hourglass, So, Guess that makes these, The Days of OUR (fucking) Lives

Sometimes I need something quick to reset my brain and my body. Today’s meditation about feeling grounded and rooted where my body was touch the floor was real damn helpful. Honestly…I could’ve sat for far longer than the 5 minutes. Feeling consistent and better able to channel my breath on day 20.

This is my eating area. The tomatoes and cut flowers are from my garden.

It doesn't matter if the meditation is long or short, I find getting in that head space, getting into the vibration is carrying throughout the day more & more. The more days that go by its like that energy is growing within me....high fiving myself..because I can geek out this way, fuck yeah!

So I'm on day 18, just about to do our meditation (my partner always does them with me, he LOVES meditating and this is just a sprink of extra for him!). I woke up with the usual sink hole feeling in my chest, took 2 deep breaths and BOOM, gone! Rob (partner type) told me I would feel the benefits, he told me ageeeeees ago I should make it a go to in the day to help with the mad monkeys in my head. Did I listen? Noooooooooo. Did I have alllllllll the excuses? Oh hell yes! Here are some of my top hits on the excuses I gave: Too busy Got things to do Cant sit still Head too busy I'm getting frustrated I don't get the breath bit (oh how this YB stuff made me laugh at myself on that one) The thoughts don't go away like they do for you Rob . . Don't get me wrong I did psuedo try but normally just ended up drinking a coffee and watching the steam with 1 zillion thoughts racing round my brain. NB have since given up coffee it really does not help with that sinking feeling, IGNORE THE INTERNET IT LIES. Coffee gave me a 2 hr bliss high then slumped me on the roadside like an unwanted hostage leaving me feeling like the sky was falling in. Also found out that I wasn't drinking enough water which ALSO can give you the ol' sadness side effect . . interesting find yesterday. Anyway, day 18 the feelings are getting less. The realisation my body is addicted to cortisol is a big one and now, incrementally I am becoming what I wanted to be ie internally calmer, able to realise when the monkeys in my head have started bouncing around with their neg talk. and instead of looking for MORE things to stress about turning it around to look at things to appreciate, which has been an immense help. SO to end my litany . . meditation for the win. England is now that little bit (I'm 5ft 1") happier, that little bit calmer, that little bit more aware of changing the negative chatter to appreciation. Thank you of course to Yogi B. and also to you all my tribe, my wonderful honest tribe.
