Letting the negative self talk go
Yesterday I wrote a post saying how I struggle with saying a lot of negative things to myself and I got a lot of helpful suggestions.
Sometimes challenging my inner bully can be almost impossible, especially in the moment when i'm angry or upset at myself. But there is alternative, recognising that the inner bully is there and giving myself space to recognise it, accept and let it pass.
Have a look at this link where @Kaz-RO explains a bit more of the process.
@Ben-RO suggested that I make a thread so that a few us can work on this together, I know that I find doing things with other people a lot easier.
Hopefully some of you want to work on this too and we'll use this thread to talk about how we're all going with it and post some updates!
I definitely enjoyed it though. I am going to try it a bit more often when i eat. Especially when i eat weird stuff that is hard to imagine 😛
Another cool mindfulness thing i got told about yesterday is a thing called "where are my hands".
It's literally that. Just think about where your hands are right now.
Do it like whenever you remember to.
Haha i ate Jellybeans, similar problem @Creativegirl12! It was really good though, sometimes i get really easily distracted when i am focussing on breathing. But mindful eating? Totally forget about everything else 😛 Did you find yourself distracted? Did you find it as relaxing or helpful as other types of mindfulness?
Oh gee, it's almost time again! Who's on today?
Hey @Creativegirl12 lovely to see you on again! Also i look forward to hearing how the meditation (and the Jiu Jitsu) go @N1ghtW1ng!
Did you end up doing the food meditation @Creativegirl12 Or something else? The food one was weird, but pretty awesome. I am going to do it again when i have lunch tomorrow 🙂
That's okay @Bay52VU also I'm sorry that i haven't had a chance to chat a bit more with you today, it has been quite hectic!
Okay I'm going to do:
16-22 Years > Mindfulness 103 > Exploring tastes
You will need some food for this one (Preferably Chocolate or something else you like eating)
I'll start at 17:55 (AEST) 🙂
Considering we all end up running like 15-20 mins late, you'll probably be right on time @Bay52VU!
Okay does anyone have a particular session they;d like to try today? First suggestion wins!
Okay, just in case nobody has a preference. I think we should do:
16-22 years >Mindfulness 102 > Daily Minfulness Guide
