RE: Emotions and Practising self compassion -Day 63 slimming journal
Wow! I appreciate your honesty. Your comment actually made me realise that there is so much to learn about our inner self. I personally like this process as it really improves my daily live, ones I learn quickly enough what bothers me.
I am currently looking more into mindfulness and meditation as it’s just awesome for my wellbeing, I purchased the app called “calm” for my android and it’s just amazing!
There are so many different meditation types and I can choose what I want to heal quicker.
Thank you for stopping by, I hope you will have a wonderful day today😉

I haven't tried calm before. It sounds good that it has multiple types of meditations in it. I have a Headspace subscription and it works well. It's a lot better than my earlier attempts at meditation when I was younger. I looked into Buddhism for a while as a teen and their meditation was all about reaching Nirvana (the state where you stop producing karma, not the band) which meant it was focused around "not thinking". As a teenage girl with ADHD (undiagnosed at the time) that was impossible and just got frustrating. I might as well have been trying to shoot fireballs out of my hand.
Headspace uses guided meditations and has actually been quite useful unlike the "stop thinking" style of meditation.
I also downloaded a meditation program for our Oculus Rift (VR headset) but I haven't tried that out yet. I'll have to sometime. Most of the headspace ones have you do some of it with your eyes open but ultimately close your eyes during the meditation, but I'd assume in VR you wouldn't close your eyes (otherwise why be in VR), so I imagine that will be a completely different experience again. Not sure what it will be like but it is definitely worth a try.
