Try meditation (read all 3 entries…)
I just caught myself furiously chomping on gum 2 years ago

And it seems I’ve worked my way through almost a whole pack today. And I have barely eaten in two days. Which is highly unusual for me. So I listened to one of those you linked to, Ira, and I’m going to really try to make time for a yoga class this week and see if the library has any meditation CDs I can borrow. I need to CTFO!

Why aren't you eating, Cyn?

Not eating is NOT good :_(

Oh, just nervous and agitated

But overall, I’ve been eating really well while I’ve been losing weight. I see the doctor Friday and I’m gonna make him give me a kiss for listening to him so well. Okay, not really. I’ll just imagine it. :)

Ira wishes he had more time for 43things

How did you find the one you listened to?

It’s a goal I’d left by the wayside – need to pick it up again too. Cheer on the yoga class and meditation cds, definitely! Please take care and eat well Cyn – you know how I go on about the link between eating and mood :)

How did I find it?

In the link in your post under this goal! :) I think the dance class helped me burn off some bad feelings. I came home and dug in to dinner!

I meant how did you find it as in what did you think of it? :)

Oh, heh.

I just did the first one and it was only three minutes, but it was relaxing while it lasted. I’ll listen to the longer ones next.

Goal #44

Get control of my head, concentrate, find a girl I can talk to, take some Xanax, or maybe start drinking wine, chill the fuck out, breathe, don’t say anything stupid, and then delete this entry.

((((((CYN))))))

Cyn, what’s going on?

Hey, Flirt

I looked at the last time I had an entry like this, and it was right after I found out my grandmother was sick. And now, here again, right after she died. I think the emotional upheaval of that is just coming out in strange ways for me right now. I have been sort of erratic lately but I will be okay. :)

Long John Silvie is moving about - slowly, but is moving about

((((Cyn)))))

Hope everything’s OK.

we’re here if you need us you know.

Thank you, Silvie

Thank you for caring. :)

Saafir is planning his best year yet

Good plan...

aside from the wine part. ;-) I’d add “ask for a hug or two” if the girl you find to talk is within arms reach. Here’s a virtual one ((()))))

I hope you find the space to relax some today. If not, there’s always tomorrow.

The effects of meditation are subtle but profound. I’m trying to teach myself the most important lesson of meditition: do it. I’ve found that if I do it often enough, the results accumulate. Plus, I build skills that I can lean on when the going gets tought.

I recommend Jon Kabat-Zinn’s approach to mindfulness and meditation. Full-Catastrophe Living is a good place to start.

Warmly,

-S

Thanks, Saafir

Or wait, are you Solomon now? :) I talked to my doctor about this today, so that’s a start. And I found this book at my library. Thank you for taking the time. You take care too! :)
