My workplace has a wonderful wellness program. This past year there have been a couple of seminars about mindfulness along with an introduction to meditation. Every Monday, during the lunch hours, we gather for a 10 minute meditation. I’ve learned a lot over the year. Now when my brain races off in a million emotional directions, I am able to bring myself back to the moment. I am more aware of those self sabotage attempts . I still struggle with the “fat girl forever” image I have of myself but that too shall pass.
I am reading a book by Dr. Joe Dispenza, “Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself”. It is very interesting and offers insight on the brain -emotion connection. I’m sure there a many books on the subject. Next year when I retire, reading will be part of every day.
