Cool, have you tried binaural beats? They can be very helpful too. I recommended them to a friend recently who was dealing with chronic pain and he told me that they made a significant difference.
Thank you Dan. I appreciated this encouragement.
I have found myself cleaning the dishes at friends houses. They object at first but don't fight too much. I always feel better knowing they have one less thing to stress about. Your discussion on being present is a good reminder for everyone. We continue to share that message within #iMPROV rehearsals, shows, and ensembles. Thank you for steemit-health. Just subbed you on the Youtubes. Cheers!
I love improv! I used to study at The Second City in Toronto... It was maybe one of my favorite things ever and so important to be in the moment. I didn't really know what "stage presence" meant until I learned how to meditate. Thanks for your comment!
I sometimes clean for meditation but I hate doing dishes. The feeling of the food getting under my nails, thinking of all those germs...I don't know, it's just too messy. But I don't mind doing anything else, sweeping is actually very relaxing.
I can not tell you how helpful this was. I always feel like I do not have enough time to take care of the wellbeing of my mind. My days are very busy and I constantly seem to think at least 3 thoughts at a time. Sometimes I feel bad for not taking a moment to step back and calm myself. But I actually do not need to do that when I do one thing at a time and be fully present with that task. Thank you so very much!
I am learning mindfulness meditation as prescribed by rheumatoloigst to help with my chronic pain

No I have never heard of it, I'm new to this :)
Great insight, I never thought about it. Thanks @dan-atstarlite
Very insightful @dan-atstarlite, will give it a try. I'm a lousy cook, but I never mind cleaning up and doing the dishes! Resteemed.
Same. Can't cook worth beans. Doing dishes is my only way to contribute lol

I used to work in restaurants... guess I'm desensitized lol
You might have saved my girlfriend from my bad mood!
