I’ll do anything to get out of my own head.
I am currently in the middle of the school year, but when I started meditating over the summer I was doing it pretty consistently. During that time I felt the most in control of myself that I’ve ever experienced. I made break throughs in my beliefs. For example I realized I had the ability to study engineering, something I would’ve told myself I’m “not smart enough” to do. Now that the school year is busy, I haven’t been able to find a time when meditation is optimal for me. I definitely want to get back in the habit, but my schedule is flooded.
I find it grounds me in the present moment and keep my thoughts from spiraling
Live more in present, get ride of some thoughts that wasn’t me.
Calm my thoughts
I’m hoping to be able to quiet my thoughts and inner critic
Hoping to re-train the brain in order to not focus on the negatives of what can go wrong and focus on the moment, enjoying it for what it is
I definitely feel calmer after. It really highlights how many thoughts can randomly pop into your head at any moment. These are just thoughts though and if they are unhelpful we should dismiss them
I’m new to meditation. I’m hoping it helps me improve my mental quality and overall health.
Consistent mediation practice helps me stay grounded in reality and the present moment
Hope to get rid of the negative thoughts I have developed and get back to being me again
