It's ok to focus on my needs

I learned not taking care of myself first affects every aspect of my life. It is okay to take care of me.

Self care

Receiving a similar message from several sources helps me recognize how much I must apply it to my life. So now I'm realizing that I have been driven from teenage to be a productive citizen in a capitalistic world. I was failing miserably. I am 67. Time for self care.

Letting Go

It's hard for me to set aside difficult thoughts during meditation. I think I'm letting my struggles define me. I'll definitely be coming back to this meditation to practice letting go!

Check in and refocus

This was a great way to tune into my body, put my worries and stresses I. An imaginary box, and take some very therapeutic breaths.

Recharge

A great way to finish off the day, the anxiousness ran off me in just 3 minutes

Deep breaths

Getting fresh new oxygen in my lungs really does rejuvenate me, and bring me back to a sharper focus that allows calmer and more rational thinking

Working through the pain

Being in the hospital is no fun. The mornings seems to be the toughest, thank god my wife is here and the meditations help to get me to push through the pain, which is often at its highest point right when I wake up. As the day time arrives, things get better, I feel better and have a little more energy. Recovery is a challenge but I know I’ll get through it. Hopefully I’ll only be in here for another 2 or 3 days...

Let go

It's important to really recharge and let go, I often hold things in when I'm upset this often has an effect on my whole day. I love this recharge mediation it really helps me think about what is happening right now, but more importantly how to rejuvinate.

There is so much amazingness inside of me -breathing and meditation

Soul searching through meditation and my breath There is no more

Love yourself

I feel recharged and thankful for this meditation thank you !!

Recharged

I can let go go thoughts that hinder peaceful acceptance of self.

Tired

It’s incredibly difficult to let go of your own thoughtS, especially if they are plaguing you for some reason.

Recharge

That felt good. To just breath,let go of what is on your mind. Stretch and open your heart.

Putting thoughts away, in boxes

Really like the concept of putting thoughts away in boxes, for a while. Immediately felt more relaxed and able to focus on what I need to deal with now, and not dwell, or feel overwhelmed.

Recharge

To let go of all the tension and busy thoughts that are stressing me out. Take deep breaths and exhale to recharge my body and mind.

Let go

I learned that I can focus my breath and stretch, to open my heart.

Opening up

Don’t let things bother you. Let them go and relax. It’s not helpful to hold on to the little things

Life moves on

I learned that, every now and again ever needs help finding their center and getting them back going. This was a tremendous help!!!

breaks

there is something so beautiful about taking a moment in the middle of the day to be centred. it’s like being able to start over even though a new day hasn’t come yet.

Day 16

I learned that pushing things away with my breath is helpful for me

Rejuvenate

So lovely to feel my heart and mind open and be recharged by my breath and putting any worries to one side

Stress

I'm about to housesit and pet sit for the next five weeks. If I'm honest I am completely terrified. I have never lived apart from my family for so long. I don't know how this will play out and it really scares me. I know that in all likelihood nothing bad will happen and it will all work out but it doesn't stop me from worrying. I am also trying to laugh my own business and am stuck on a few details such as a name. I know these things will all work out in the end and this sessions was a nice moment of pushing these thoughts away.

2/7/18

Although every time I meditate, it’s part of “me time”, sometimes it’s nice to hear the words “take this moment for you”. It’s so easy to get caught up in our everyday lives and to constantly think about what we have to get done. I also could feel a difference between my normal deep breaths and the deep inhale with a sighing exhale. It was like my whole body felt more at ease because I was really pushing all the tension out.

Great release

I was holding so much tension in my body this morning. This meditation really was helpful in tuning into and releasing it, even though I thought I was already good at that on my own.

It's okay 🌾.

I love this already. I feel self acceptance and that it's alright to feel certain ways. We're all human and everyone feels sadness we are connected in that way.

Recharge

I learned that it’s okay to let things go if they’re not putting your mind at ease

Let Go

“What does it feel like to be me right now?” It was a tough question for me to answer tonight without letting my mind wander, but I think I need to write it down and give myself time to think about the answer. I’m doing all of these small sessions to be more mindful, not so much of others, but of myself. I give so freely to others but I sometimes deprive myself of what I need to make my friends or family happy. I need to let that need to please go. Sometimes I need to focus on what it feels like to be me. To sit with those feelings so I can figure them out. Only when I do that will I ever be really able to serve my loved ones freely.

Happiness

I really felt letting go of everything and just thinking positive thoughts

Visualization

I’m learning that I like picturing things like the packing away my thoughts in a safe space for the time that I am meditating and trying to let go of those anxious tendencies. Feeling anxious isn’t bad or wrong. It’s normal and deserves to be acknowledged.

A package of thoughts

Learn to treat your thought like objects - package them away in your mind when they are becoming overwhelming or distracting. Know that you can return to them whenever you need.

day 1

I felt the difficulty to let my thoughts go. I imagined putting them in a box but I was also very much aware that I would get it out again. I had to imagine them flowing out of my mind before I fully let them go.

Mindful

Remember you can set a certain time aside during the day to think about everything you're worrying about or is causing anxiety.

Good

Breathing, closing your eyes can help make you feel relaxed. Close your eyes and push the stuff you’re worried about to the back of your mind

Opening and letting go

I felt like I can feel good. So I put away some stuff like Jacob and boys I like somewhere safe in my mind. That way if I need them I can remember it.

3-12

Again visualizing my thoughts and emotions as objects helps me to move those thoughts and emotions aside and focus on me. Although it may be brief, but being able to move those thoughts and emotions aside helps me to focus on my own happiness.

Rejuvenate

I feel so rejuvenated and relaxed. I absolutely love everything right now.

Recharge

A helpful short but meaningful session that offered great clarity to me.

Thoughts like Objects

I learned that thoughts can lead to emotions. I also learned that thoughts can be seen as objects that can be stored away in a drawer so that you can focus on the present moment

Anxious

I placed my anxiety in a box. I keep clinging, holding onto it. I saw my heart open and then a small girl covered in first stare at me. I held her and whispered sorry.

Recharging

Grateful that I was able to practice this meditation to let go of thoughts that no longer serve me, right before bed.

Thoughts

Packaging up my worries and stresses feels good. Now the thoughts won’t get in my way as I go about my to dos

Lay down my burden....

It’s better in the long run to take a break, then start again refreshed, rather than just pushing through. Namaste

Recharge

I loved your suggested imagery of putting thoughts and concerns into a package and moving it to a safe place where I can get to it later. Also, sighing with a deep out breath was an effective release. Thank you for your guidance.🙏🏻

recharging

It is absolutely essential for me to slip into the gap and cleanse my consciousness of all the thoughts which occupied my attention. Just a few minutes is all it takes. Just a few deep, slow breaths, until my eyes water and my nose runs... For me, that physical release is the indication that I look for. When I’m ready to return I wipe the salty tracks from my cheeks and clear my nostrils with a loud “Honk!”, fully recharged and ready for anything....

Mind + Body

I notice when I am in deep meditation state and I become aware of my body and stretch my body cracks. It’s as if the cracking of my body is in unison with the mental clutter I carry and I am releasing it.

let go

letting go doesn't mean dumping your thoughts indeed it means locking them some place safe knowing you can come back to them anytime soon.

Recharge

This was a good exercise for getting your blood flowing and heart pumping.

Recharging...

Simple little techniques that can be used quickly and most anywhere Mentally store what you might want for later, Discard what you no longer want (or need) Take a deep cleansing breathe or 2, Restart on your journey... Recharged up!! 💚💪🏼🍀

Recharge

I learned that my stressors can be acknowledged then put away. They don’t need to be present all the time. Thank god.

Recharging

I felt that like when it’s like you’re a phone and you feel energized,I feel like this helps me calm down😌

Stress

I am stressed about homework,school, and getting the house in shape/organized. This audio helped me chill and get ready for sleep. I felt more relaxed after listening to it. 9/24/19

Expectations

I set insane amounts of small expectations for myself that I don’t even realize that I’m setting. Expectations about food, my body, tidiness, my job, my relationships. They are the underlying soundtrack of everything that I do. For whatever reason I believe that I will be punished for not meeting them by some external force, be it my boss, my boyfriend, my parents, or even my friends or coworkers.

Rejuvenation

This little meditation allowed me to allow positive thoughts come through and to let go of the negative ones. It helped me to get ready for the day ahead :)

Refreshed and Calm

After the meditation, I felt refreshed and calm, ready to take on the day.

Tune into yourself

Tune into yourself and see how your thoughts might contribute to how you are feeling.

Recharge

I am the type of person that keeps focusing on the negative in my life. I try to move forward, however something is said to me or I am reminded of what I did wrong and I hold on to the hurt and the words.

Closing out thoughts

It’s hard to close the mind off completely from thoughts. Re-imagining them as objects, they take the form of large bouncy balls hurling themselves in my head.

When I slow down…

When I slow my breathing down and I attempt to slow my mind down, the things that really bother me tend to show up. Whether it’s an ongoing issue, a conflict at work, or a feeling I have toward myself. It’s at that moment I realize that being mindful isn’t ignoring your feelings, but actually acknowledging where you are and what might be upsetting you. When we slow down, we come to terms with our everyday. If we don’t slow down, how can we address ourselves and our needs? Things build up and we carry it within ourselves without realizing.

Recharge

This is a great mindfulness practice for the end of the day, but I’ve noticed a lot of the Happiness Insight recording cut off at the end.
