Rediscovering Wellness

A lot of things happened since I signed up for the BHC program…I really needed to get back on the horse and finish it. I’ve been so distracted lately but that will not deter me. I’m back on track and starting all over again  but that’s ok.

I have waaaay too many goals I’m trying to accomplish in no time. But mostly I know I needed to work on myself. On getting back to me again!

Today I meditated for 10 minutes. 9 minutes of it was spent thinking about my to do list for the day. Did it work? For the first 30 seconds it did but my mind of course ended up wandering like it always does unttil I can no longer tell if I’m half asleep/almost in dream mode or it was still part of my meditation. Eventually I realized that I was half asleep already. I can’t help it. I’m tired.

I went to a meditation class before and asked why I always fall asleep and this is what the instructor said to me: “Well maybe that’s what your body needs right now”.

OK so the first mistake that I did which I didn’t realize for the first 2 months of the course: I was scheduling my Skills Lab in an impossible time- 9:30 Saturday mornings. I was crazy. I should’ve known that it wasn’t gonna work because I have a 5 yr old who loves to run around the house usually at the time. Plus all the other stuff I gotta do. So I’m sorry to my prior BHC partners, I was not consistent. I was not committed. And I keep moving the time because it wasn’t working out for me.

Second mistake: I kept scheduling the same time.

Now I realize if I really want to finish this course, I need to set time to where I have no distractions: 5 am on Saturday and Sunday mornings 🙂

P.S. I just downloaded Insight Timer on my phone, which is completely free I’m currently doing the Learn How to Meditate in 7 days (10 min/day). I also signed up for the 365 day meditation group where you get 5 min meditation daily and hopefully able to implement it regularly. I sure would like to be part of that 160,000 people who practice meditation daily.
