I hate to sound smug and be that guy, but this whole “mindfulness” thing is working out for me. Never have I felt so “in the now” and enjoying each day. I have hardly thought about the weekend (and we had a jam packed weekend away to look forward to!) that I actually feel like each day really is bringing me something meaningful, despite having to get up for work each day. I was so skeptical of how it would work for me, but it genuinely has made me feel wonderful. I read Sophie’s blog about “self diagnosing anxiety” – I am the same, and whilst I’ve never been to the docs about it, I know hand on heart it is something I have and do have to deal with on a daily basis. The moment my chest tightens and I struggle to take controlled breaths because of one quick, irrational thought I’d feel sick. Now, I take a moment, breath in and out and really concentrate on a positive thought. I can’t tell you how much that has helped me.
