My Meditation journey needs some help.
I have been practising Mindfulness Meditation for a few weeks now, still trying to focus this old brain of mine and hopefully start helping me to cope with the pain I go through on a daily basis
My problem this week has been hubby being off recovering from his surgery, its fitting it around everything going on like people turning up without ringing first.
We are both stuck in the house as he isn't allowed to do much and not allowed to drive the car for 2-3 weeks so were starting to grind on each other, he's grinding on me more. Thankfully he is starting to feel better and move around easier which Is helpful.
He gets up early as he's not sleeping to good so I stay in bed for a couple of hours peace then when I hear him settled downstairs I will try and meditate, I feel so tired and my body is drained that I'm finding staying awake really hard. Then I hear his feet shuffling downstairs he won't pick his feet up, he shuffles around like a old man.
I'm not really coping very well with him off as my workload has doubled. Things aren't getting done and have to be left until he is fully back on his feet. Its really hard when both of you are poorly, dread to think what we will be like when were older.
How do I meditate with so much going on?, How do I fit this in around everything? I don't want to stop doing it as it will then be harder to get into it again plus if I can carry on doing it through all this then I would have achieved something. I really need this or else I'm going to hit someone. --->>>HUBBY

Hi karen,
I hope you both will be better soon. I know the feeling when you want to meditate but just are too stressed. For me it's great to meditate when I am spastic because my body lets go of some of the stiffness. But it's very hard to meditate when I can not even find a good position to sit or lie to start with. What I found helpful is to include warmth and music. I will either find a warm place or a cosy blanket and also a few pillows. To start with I just concentrate on the cosy feeling around me and on the warm and entering my body. If I really am too distracted by the noise and people around me, I will use a guided meditation over headphones. I hope this was helpful in some way.
I have a app I forgot about thanks for reminding me. My heads all over the place and my body doesn't want to do a thing. Thanks hun :)
You are very welcome. I really enjoy following your meditation journey.
Thank you I am glad someone does. Lol its all new to me so hopefully it all starts coming together soon :)
I am very sorry to read this dear friend @ karenb54, I hope that today you are a little better you and your husband, are our wishes
Thank you so much :)
I'm doing a mindful course at the moment and one of the most helpful methods is the one breath pause. You can do it whilst waiting for the kettle to boil, or like me when I'm about to boil!! You just take one breath in and out and concentrate solely on that breath, even if you have to count whilst doing it to be mindful and stop the mind from wandering . And do it as many times as you need to. It's been a great stress reliever for me. I'll try and write a post about it one day this week when I've found my notes.
Brilliant I will look out for it, I will try those tips thank you :)
