Ugh!!! Sometimes technology stinks! We had a power surge and my internet went out while I was typing my blog. I didn't realize that it stopped saving at the point I was at when it went out. So....it only posted half of my blog. Here is the second half. If you want to read the first part, it is posted right before this one.
Visualization is the other process that works for me. I guess because it is much easier for me to picture myself in a peaceful place than to just try and focus on one thing or watch my thoughts float by. I have no problem thinking of myself on the beach, soaking up the rays of the sun with my toes in the warm sand, and the sound of waves rolling up the shore, and people around me enjoying the day. Or in a log cabin in the snow covered mountains with a fire crackling in the fireplace, snuggled under a blanket and getting drowsy from the sounds of the fire. These exercises put me in a relaxed and peaceful state. They take my focus off of my problems, and put it on others, or on positive things. This reduces my stress and puts me on a path to mental and physical wellness.
