For better or for worse, my mind didn’t stop thinking about, the day, tomorrow, the past, the future… I am fucked! For brief moments I could just focus on the sensations and sound of the air going in and out through my nose… just for brief moments

My mind was quiet and has been since I started doing daily meditation.
was able to see just how many of my thoughts provoked anxiety.

Definitely different. All the other meditations I’ve done on here, you try to shut down the mind and focus on your breathing, but this one, you just let it run wild, and honestly, it was a nice change of pace,

It’s the first time I’ve actually just observed my thoughts without trying to get involved in the thinking. Very different.
It’s hard to see your thinking and not get caught up in it. Keep trying but notice how fleeting your thoughts are. Like leaves in the breeze, lots of them without any sense of purpose.
After listening to my heartbeat go down I could hear my thoughts clearer. But it felt like I was an outside observer. I just let them run wild. Not trying to control them.
I thought I had to give my brain something to think about until the moderator said to let it be still if my brain wanted to be, and that’s when all the stress actually started to come up which was good to see and hear
Hard to observe the thoughts in a detached manner. It will take more practice to do that easily. Plus I’ve gotten pretty good at shooing away thoughts before they come, so I’ll have to suppress that.
Felt good to just let the thoughts happen instead of fighting them. I felt calmer, more positive and more in control after
Towards the end the imagery reflected some panic
I found it a little tough to simply observe but il get there
Today’s was alot more calm than past sessions, more than likely due to having a stress free weekend. But enjoyable none the less, hopping between thoughts without feeling overwhelmed. Satisfied if I had to just use one word.
This was interesting in that all other mindfulness meditations I’ve done have all said to come back to the breath and refocus vs. just letting your mind wander—but notice it wander.
Took a few minutes to fully observe but towards the end I felt more in control of my thoughts and anything that went through my mind!
I still struggle to observe it without just going into those thoughts, so doesn’t really do anything
It’s nice to feel that the thoughts are really random and it’s not just you making them up to spite yourself
