I trust myself that I can handle whatever comes. I make choices and decisions, but the rest of it is not up to me... so there's no use to worry about it.<BR/><BR/>After that, I pet my cat.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2976295103200839458.post-11526945674712640772008-06-28T18:46:00.000-07:002008-06-28T18:46:00.000-07:00Oh, such a timely post for me!

Perhaps there should be space for processing - I don't know.<BR/><BR/>When I have trouble calming my mind, I find sitting in nature can help - even if it is just outside in my urban backyard and watching the wind blow in the trees.<BR/><BR/>Oh! Going barefoot. I feel so grounded when I can feel the ground beneath my feet. Ahhh . . . just the thought is relaxing.Kamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01215000341567119958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2976295103200839458.post-44949965225749727002008-06-21T16:58:00.000-07:002008-06-21T16:58:00.000-07:00Yeah..

I'm rarely alone either, but that doesn't make me not feel lonely:)<BR/><BR/>I try a few things: <BR/><BR/>Sometime I pretend my body is a camera and I try to take a snap shot to remember this very moment, the way you instinctively do at really great moments (weddings, graduations) and really horrible ones (when you get a phone call that someone has been in an accident).<BR/><BR/>I say a little mantra in my head sometimes simple like "be here now" or wordy like "remember this moment will only happen one, you only get to enjoy/survive it once"<BR/><BR/>And then sometimes visualize my life as me floating down a river. I put on my googles, take a deep breath, and just stick my head into the water to watch the rocks passing below. Everything is so still and calm, but then I see how quickly I am passing over the rocks and I can focus on now a bit better. <BR/><BR/>just a bit though...Smilinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13251527394755383001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2976295103200839458.post-72150684942136283152008-06-21T04:24:00.000-07:002008-06-21T04:24:00.000-07:00Breathing always helps me come back to the moment....Breathing always helps me come back to the moment. <BR/><BR/>And actually, when I take the time to regularly meditate, that helps, too. <BR/><BR/>But usually, I'm taking showers with others, driving in the car with others and doing my work with others, so i need this a lot!DE Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15708985828556543174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2976295103200839458.post-28052388255874025032008-06-20T15:04:00.000-07:002008-06-20T15:04:00.000-07:00I wish I had some good advice to give you, but I'm...I wish I had some good advice to give you, but I'm like you I usually don't shower alone.<BR/><BR/>I'll be checking your comments, though, to see what others suggest!Summerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10462071403127406819noreply@blogger.com
