I can do it
Today I asked for a divorce. Something I wanted. I had no guilt over this request.

I learned how to let go of guilt
I learned I control my actions not the actions of others therefore I have nothing to guilty for, when choose to act poorly.

Simple focus technique
Using the count helped me keep my focus on the breath and not wander away into my thoughts. It made the meditation one of ease, which is very appreciated when I am feeling anxious. I will take what I learned in this session with me today, and am grateful for the lesson. Thank you.

Counting helped okay today
If I find myself about to get stressed anxious or angry, just count. And it helps bring me back to earth.

Silence is a struggle
I learned in today’s session that my mind struggles with silence. As soon as the session went into minutes of silence I could not keep count of my breath as I continuously was getting lost in thought. I acknowledge that this was my monkey brain trying to stay active and helped me identify a goal. Making sitting in silence easy and calming instead of a struggle and a panic.

Anxiety
I learned that taking time to focus only on that peaceful place helped me to reduce my anxiety on what has been running through my thoughts, causing me panic attack and such, and now I feel like I have a new outlook on the matter.

Concentration
I love counting the breaths. I find that counting reveals the thoughts, and through practice I can more easily see the separate areas of worry/stress. I find that this makes them more manageable because I can identify them individually, which makes approaching them less overwhelming.

Focus
I was able to quiet my mind down by focusing on my breathing and counting. It gave me a sense of relaxation and calmness.

Counting Deep Breaths Helps
Counting my breaths helped me slow down my racing mind. I really had to focus given the fact that my young children were making loud noises which proved to be a great distraction. I could use another go; 3 min wasn’t enough. However, the slow deep breaths I took lessened my anxiety from the day’s work projects and that was positive!
