has calmed that intensity big time. I'm much more at ease with what I'm
doing. Even if I'm busy and there's a lot going on I do it in a more
easy way, just more flow. I have more calm and more flow. If I do start
speeding in the mind, and going somewhere else, I know I can call on
that and come back to it. Even just in my mind, I'm in the car, or with
all the people or whatever, they don't know what's going on in my mind. I
just focus a little bit on my breath and calm myself back down and
reduce that intensity, kind of on the go.Thoughts on BreathingI just focus a little bit on my breath and calm myself back down and reduce that intensity, kind of on the go.Suggested ResourcesBook: Presence by Aimee CuddyApp: IPhone Timer (I set a nice quiet chime to go off)Advice for Newbie
The
most important thing is that if you are a woman experiencing overwhelm,
you need to do something for yourself. The first thing you may say is,
'I don't have the time'. People get on a vicious cycle with looking
after their children, husband, demanding job. Women have taken on these
really big jobs in the last twenty or thirty years, but they didn't take
away very much. They still try to be the perfect wife/mother and
homemaker. I would say you must make time for your mindfulness and find a
resource, listen to the Mindfulness Mode Podcast, or find any other
mindfulness website or resource and just try it. Make the time. A lot of
women do yoga, or other kinds of moving meditations or swimming. This
will pay back a hundred fold.Suggested Resources
