Feeling Grounded

Feeling grounded

By focusing on my breathing, I can recenter myself and not focus on the small issues.

Stress Falls

Taking 3 minutes to breathe and center yourself allows stress you didn't even realize was there to fall off.

Breathing

Breathing as instructed by the host is so important. Concentrating on your breathing releases stress and makes you feel fresh and cleansed.

Appreciation

I feel at peace with the world, with myself and with my family.

Day 4 on a journey to self love

Yesterday I did something for myself and experienced a successful moment for the first time in what feels like months. Last night was a real low point in my depression. It was triggered when I put myself out there to my so and sought validation that didn't come. This morning I reflected on what it means to enjoy my life in the moment and to take control of all my moments. I pray that I make it through this.

People

I learned that people don't really care how you feel Walking around school, not one person asked me how my day was going nor did anyone generally care

Change

I learned that I’m uncomfortable with changes. As such, it’s tricky to make decisions in the face of new change.

Grounding

Bringing awareness to the feet and connections to the earth is grounding. I never really think about my feet. Appreciating them today.

😞

I learned that no one cares how you feel they just don’t listen

The Moment

I constantly am thinking about what happens next and or what I screwed up before, completely unaware of the current moment and it’s beauty. I sat here, amidst my life’s stress, echoes of the tv from the other room where my wife is, Cat meowing at me, and air conditioner running. In this moment I have everything and do not need a single thing. I just need to find this place again tomorrow...

:)

It’s ok to take time and meditate, even 5 minutes helps. This is extra text.

Helpful

I learned what it is I need to do to help me reduce some of my stresses and be more present.

Really

Realizing the relaxed man in my past was stressful and he gives me plans to fold on

Distracted

I learned that my stress is much more deeply rooted than I thought, an my distractions are not only in my own mind but all around me.... I need to make more time to peacefully meditate instead of trying to do it just before work even though that is where most of my stress comes from..... I hope today goes by quickly and smooth.

Grounded

By grounding in the morning, I can settle my busy mind and find an inner calm to carry with me through out the day

Grounded

My feet support my body.. whenever I feel overwhelmed or stressed I need to come back within myself.

Grounded

I learned that we are grounded by our feet connecting us to the ground, thankful for the ability to be grounded

Grounded

I am my own Sanctuary. Through anxiety and stress I can relax myself through grounding myself. Knowing that I’m ok.

Souls

One's legs can truly take forth a great deal of stress throughout the day

Solid

Breathing easily and focused on the gradual sensation of my feet becoming very heavy. I am strong, secure and safe. I am at ease. 🙏

Day 6

I literally become so relaxed when I’m listening it is great. I’m focused on trying to stay connected for the 7 minutes now instead of the 3 minutes.

Centered

Feeling planted and centered can help to remove stress. This helps to relax tension.

Relaxed

I learned that feeling grounded with my feet planted made feel a sense of relaxation letting go my worries.

Getting Focused

I’ve found that the more I meditate the better I become at closing out the noise and focusing on the moment.

Calm and peaceful

Feel more connection with my self while meditating. Make it a way of life

Connection to self

I got overwhelmed at work today, and I think that taking some time to do this while stressed would have made a big difference. I feel good doing it tonight, but closer to the stressor would probably have a different t effect

Return to center

It is easy to forget that we have this moment. It’s easy to look ahead and worry or look behind and feel anxious, but if we can just breathe we will always have this moment, and we can make this moment anything we want if we are able to let ourselves return to our center. To our breath. I have to remember to breathe.

Didnt make me feel much better

This one didnt do much for me.. i mean also could be the fact that i let him in again.. knowing how much sadness it brings me.. it also brings me so much joy. Hes just incredible in every way. I hate it.

Grounded

Sometimes we need to become grounded in order to function. If we continue to put ourselves in pressure and anxiety filled situations then life’s gonna suck. so if you just remember that u are amazing and can do and that you don’t have to be like anyone else, you’ll survive

Be less stressful

Everytime I feel overwhelmed with all the things I’ve got in my mind all through out my review, I just listen Aura. It seriously releases some of the stress I feel because of all the pressure and anxiety given especially when I have a few more days left to take the board exam. I shall continue now to review thanks aura! 👍👍👍👍👍

Dedication is needed for self awareness

The Prodigal Self

Returning to home center yet again, and always welcomed there. Namaste

I need a better posture

While I like meditating in a head to floor prayer position near my phone, it puts distracting pressure in my head, makes it harder to breathe. Guess I’ll have to sit up! Today’s meditation was very good though!

Starting out

Maybe things can’t be resolved like “poof” through meditation. But incremental improvements are things to look toward. Every day will be different, some hard, but that doesn’t mean you’re not on the right path. Today I feel this way. Somber, but hopeful.
