What Do You Need Right Now?

Caring for yourself

I cried during this... I need to learn to care for myself and forgive myself. Very well done by the author.

Caring for myself

I've realized I need a hug or to be held by someone who cares about me. All my stress has been clouding my thoughts and draining my happiness. I know to strive and accomplish but becoming stressed out is hurting me. I'm going to take time for myself and be there for myself

What do I need.

I need to learn to not stress myself out too much. I take on way too much work and makes my chest heavy. I need more time for myself.

I've got me.

I've learned no matter how Alone I may feel at times. I'm never alone. I've always got myself.

I know what I need

Sometimes during these moments I'll talk out loud during the silences, or journal in response to the meditation. This afternoon I began to have a panic attack. This usually happens after a series of really small and minute frustrations stacks up in a short period of time. From the beginning of this particular moment I began to speak aloud my thoughts and feelings during the silences. Soon it was as if I was having a fluid conversation with the teacher. It was the most affirming and calming session I've had yet. Truly appreciate this one 💕

Feeling responsibility

I learned that feeling heavy responsibility is strenuous but It's the experience of knowing that people rely upon your strength and that gives me a sense of calm

What I need

What I need right now is to let life happen and listen to its voice

Necessity

What I need right now, is to be in so in love with who I am, that nobody could ever break this bond between heart and soul.

Crying

In need to stop putting in such a brave face. I can cry I can show that I am stressed. It's ok not to be everything to everyone.

Needs

I need a hug from u. I wish u were here. I feel alone even though my spirit tells me I'm not.

What I need

To accept that even though I'm doing a bunch of stuff I hate right now, I always have a choice. It's my choice to stay with it or do something else.

Insight

I shouldn’t be so hard on myself but, easier said than done

Accepting

Everybody won’t love you the way you love them. At the end of the day you must love yourself enough to accept it and move on.

Self-care

I learned that I have the primary responsibility for the care that I receive. No one else can tend to my care needs in the precise manner that I would like. I must take care of, and give care to, me!

Self Love

I need to take care of myself and accept that I'm not feeling great at the minute. I understand that I'm not happy and I need to show myself some TLC

Air

Oxygen. Copious amounts of oxygen and large slow breaths is what I need.

Accepting

I realized I need to take care of myself and love myself and also accept who I am. It’s ok to put myself first sometimes instead of others

:)

i realized that i really need to focus on making myself happy. being there for myself when no one else is, and just not depending on everyone around me.

Self-care

I realized that I need to take care of myself more and love myself more for who I am. I need to especially get more sleep, as when I sleep longer my sad mood improves.

But How?

Hi I need to keep going and realize and remember to Keep Trying to take care of me even though most of the time it feels and almost is impossible to take care of myself where I do have three small boys who have special needs and behavioral problems and there is very little support on my side so sometimes it seems like it's not an option to take care me that well. But I have to keep going and keep Trying. I have to keep the faith I can have to know things can change and I will have ME time Someday some day some day........

I am a priority!

This is an excellent reminder that I need to take the time to care for myself and to put myself as a priority.

Focus

Focus on your needs and your own self love you have to give.

i am my own teacher

i learned that when i have my problems, there is no one other than myself who can help me. i myself know what’s best for me. not other people. self love and care is key

“What do you need right now?”

I learned that I don’t need to feel stressed I need to be happy and I need a nap right now

Loneliness is my problem.

I need a good woman in my life. One that understands me, my past, and never makes me feel awful about any of the choices I make, or have made. This being alone thing has seriously gotten old. After not getting married in 2012, it really put me in a major depression. I need that loving touch, that loving feeling, just any and all kinds of a woman's love.

I learned that

If you want something accomplished you must be willing to sacrifice time and effort.

I learned that

I can do a reset of myself anytime I need by just checking in with myself.

Listen

I need to listen to myself with more compassion in order to nurture my soul

Understood

I learned that I need to take care of myself more and acknowledge that I’m not ok.

Start of a Difficult Day 10-19-17

I learned that you can start your day over anytime. Bad news can come any time, but breathing and taking time is important for yourself.

What you need

Identifying a simple thing you need to make you feel better is powerful. Giving time to Do this is important.

Being kind to myself

I don’t a very good job of being kind, loving, and compassionate with myself. It’s a foreign concept. Sure I can take care of everyone else around me and make sure their needs are met, but I always seem to lose out and I’ve gotten so far away from knowing how to get my own needs met.

Passing

Need to love now while the pain passes into the next flow, I give thanks and shout

be kind

Even the smallest act of kindness can brighten someone’s day. Make that someone you and brighten your own day.

Taking care

I learned that you need to take care of yourself. It’s good to help others but taking care of your own needs is important too. One can’t continue to help people if they aren’t 100%.

Being kind to myself

Means to put myself first. There shouldn’t be any shame in that what so ever. As an empath I have to be detached from others and their business, to prevent myself from having these struggles. I will care for myself, I will be kind to myself, I am me and that’s who I shall be.

Let my feelings happen

To not be afraid of crying and to love myself in a long and hard healing process.

I know Me

I, am my own teacher. I know what I need and when I need it. I know me.

You

You are your best teacher, you need to take control and make yourself promises

Organization

I need to slow down a minute and take the time to organize my thoughts instead of just punching through unorganized

This was my favorite

I learned that I can connect with myself. Relax and take away my pain by just closing my eyes and breathing

Protect my own vibe

I learned that I should be the one to protect my positive energy and not letting anyone kill my vibe. Some people will attack us for no reason and drag us down. We are one to protect ourselves and not falling into those people’s trap!

Perfect for me now

Meditation is powerful and I’m falling asleep now I am so tired

Kind to self

i learned that it is important to be kind to yourself when encountering and repairing your emotional pain. i feel as though i will, in the future, treat myself more fairly when dealing with this pain and honesty with myself. will try to focus on healing my emotional wounds, kindly and patiently, as if i were counseling a dear friend.

Day 3

I'm struggling right now. Heartbroken. I need to tend to myself. I need to do something for myself... I like that I could promise to do it later.

Don’t know what I need

Maybe I need so many things that I don’t even know where to start. Well, I’m starting with meditation.

friends

12.09 i need friends. not any friends, good friends. ones that make better me. i would rather have quality over quantity. < quality over quantity >

It’s not material

I learned that it’s not always material things that are needed. Sometimes all we need is a little self love. Maybe throw in a cup of hot chocolate and just breathe.

What Do I Need?

I learned that I don’t know what I need right now. I’m scared. Too scared to take action but I must pick myself up and push forward. That I must find out what I need to do to get me to a place of true contentment.

“You/Me”

“You are the most important person to yourself.” I was reminded once again that IF I ALLOW IT, no one can love me better than me, no one can be more present to me than me, no one can know better what I need than me, and no one can know what I need better than me. It’s time to start opening myself and embracing me!

Busy day

It's very hard to find time to be alone and in a quiet place and reach a state of peace and focus on such a busy day. This is something that I'll have to work on.

Needs

It is very important that we take time to self-assess our emotions and needs in order to improve our all-around health

What can I do for myself?

I need to give myself permission to do things for myself, too, and not just for others. That's a hard concept for me. A few people have told me "In order to take care of others, you have to take care of yourself first." It's a hard concept because I've always been taught that putting yourself first is selfish. However, there needs to be balance, because I have reached that point in life where always giving myself and never taking time for myself led to a drop in mental and physical health. In turn, I wasn't able to help others the way I wanted to. "In order to take care of others, you have to take care of yourself first." I had to experience first hand that this was true - that if I didn't, I physically and mentally wouldn't be running at full capacity and ability to help others - before I understood the importance of taking care of myself.

A Promise

To myself: I will be my caretaker, and I will always ask 'What do I need right now?', and I will provide it to myself, in order to have space, time, energy, freedom, and joy.

Not the best.

I didn’t think this was the best of the meditations so far. I am preferring the minutes of solace and breathing slowly. This one was more just advice.

Day one

I feel better about everything when I invest in myself. I am excited for the new way I am treating myself and hope that I can continue with my self kindness as life returns back to the chaos of work and school.

self assurance

i need to reassure myself that not everything will be alright at first, that things come slowly and i need to work on myself first before anything

First course on Aura

That I should acknowledge my difficulties and treat myself right because no one will do it better than me.

1.11.18

Asking and answering the simple question of “What do I need right now” can change your entire day. I am my own best teacher.

What I need

Tend to yourself...identify and address your needs! Caring for yourself will make you happier and healthier and enable you to better care for those you love.

What do you need right now

A much personally needed self evaluation of introspective, yet not selfish reward of self kindness.

when emotions run high

It is always good to think of active or productive things you can do to try and improve your mood or to combat emotions when they are overwhelming rather than wallowing in it.

Take care of myself

I learned that I can give myself a hug and I feel better. I don't need to feel guilty when someone asks me to do something at the last minute and I say "no". It is okay to take care of myself first. Yay for me !

Responding Kindly

I like the notion of responding kindly to your body’s stress and agitation, as my typical response is to react versus to tend to.

It’s ok to admit I’m hurting.

I owe that to myself to be honest and face my issues. Most important to look after myself first.

What Do you need right now?

Only I know what I need during difficult times. It is important that I allow my own inner wisdom to guide me.

Right Now!

What I need right now is to accept me as I am and give myself a little credit for who I am. I shouldn’t be afraid that that acceptance won’t last, as feelings of self worth often wax and wane. But that’s OK. I love me right now. ❤️🌷😘

I’ve been feeling full of self-blame, and this meditation came at the perfect time, reminding me to be patient with myself and acknowledge my imperfections.

I have to take care of myself before I can take care of everyone and everything else.

What I Need Now

Courage

I need to find the courage in being as independent as I know I am. To have the courage to express what I need and make my thought clear.

i need to not hold my emotions in

i need to share how i really feel with other people and not put on a “face” around them. I need to put myself first mentally.

Excellent focus

I really like how the narrator repeated the same question to really contemplate the question and for me to search for an answer and to really focus on relaxing. Thank you!

Hm

Generally when I hear these kind of statements, I get angry or wonder why these words are meant to be comforting. But they did ease into it, which helped a little. Otherwise, I do feel less sad. I cannot do the things to ease the sadness, but I can remember to take care of myself.

First meditation

I learned that I need to take care of myself by taking a warm bubble bath with some essential oils to help calm myself down.

Session 1

I learned that it is ok to be where I am and that I just need to listen to my body and do whatever I need to do to take care of myself, and to comfort and nurture myself while I am experiencing this terrible loss.

What I learned

I need to take better care of my body and my health. I need to focus on myself and be okay with what’s going on. I need to focus on the positive not negative. I need to relax and not stress.

Feeling

I learned that it’s ok to be sad in the moment and that I can take steps to feel better.

What i learned

I learned that i need to live myself before putting my love and trust in someone else.

stress

i learnt that by just being comforted whether it be my someome or just getting comfortable is a big stress reliever

My cousin

I learned that I am not over the death of my cousin. I can't push away my feelings because that will only make it work. I miss him everyday and that is okay.

What do you need right now?

I learned that j need to care for myself more and love myself more. The problems I have I can go away or minimized I just be there for myself.

What do you need right now?

Wow! This was A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!!! It made me think about what to be happy about and how many things I have to be happy about and i’m over here being sad about one small thing. 5/5 for me!

This didn’t make me fall asleep

This app does not help and is not worthy to pay for. I think that if this app thinks that people would want to pay then think again, they are coming for a peaceful time. Cheers Xx

Comforting

This made me realize that I need to comfort my own self and be there for my own self instead of someone else. It's okay to be alone because in that way your get to learn how to not depend on anyone and be truly happy.

Kindness

I need to do what I need to heal My hurt but remember to do it in a kind way.

Wow

Taking a moment to think caringly about myself is valuable. Giving myself a five minute space is awesome

How I’m feeling

I had a bit of stress and upset earlier on today. It’s the second year tomorrow that my great nan passed away. The family and I went to her grave today. It only really got to me when I was back at home and sobbed in my room. I’ve also been feeling overwhelmed with the amount of work I do at my job and at home. Not really having any downtime to myself. After using this meditation and putting some relaxing music on before having dinner, I felt more at ease afterwards and will be promising myself more often to take some time out and care for myself.

Very helpful

I’m dealing with a great deal of grief. I was overcome with it today and I used this meditation. It really helped and I feel so much better after listening. I will use this again, thank you!

Day 2

Being in touch with my emotions and letting them be but not reacting (unless I need a physical release through crying), like observing from the outside, is amazing.

Tending to yourself

I really enjoyed the simple message of this meditation. Feeling the space it created to know that I Was going to be there for myself today and do something thoughtful to treat some of the emotional pain I’m experiencing. I felt an immediate increasing in size and space for me to act mindfully and wisely in.

Tears for me

This definitely brought up huge emotion for me. That I didn’t realise was there. So I didn’t take care of me until this hit home. I hadn’t been looking after me…in a healthy way. So became angry with myself all because I didn’t address what the emotion was. And more importantly….what did I need? Thankyou so much for this!💝

Just What I Need To Hear

I learned that taking just a few minutes can change how you feel and how you act. By learning to stop, be kind to myself, check in on my fears to identify and plan what to do about them, I can not only feel better but continue with my day more productively than before.

I felt out of control of my emotions

I listened and she said that all I need to do is find out what I need and I will feel better but I know what I need is peace of mind and being able to stay in My Home that I love. I gave myself a hug but I still can’t control my emotions because I am so depressed having to leave my home just because I don’t have enough money to live on & I have to sell my home in order to get enough money to live for a few more years or until I die.

Self care

These past few weeks of the new year has been difficult. Just being allowed to sit with myself and ask myself what I need has already calmed me. I’ve been saying I just need a hug … and today I have myself one. And It truly has made the difference.

Learns

I learned that I need human connection and I need to know when I need it. I learned that life isn’t always full throttle and be the best and to take time to make those connections and savor them.

Self compassion

I learned that I need to practice more self compassion. Tend to take on the feelings of others too easily and end up not caring for myself enough. This was a good reminder that self love is a positive thing

Transforming

I learned that with my new illness there is a lot of space to think with is important in my life, the inner life of my heart.

Just Turn it Around

I’m in the mood to overcome depression & push through on achieving each & every goal that I seek out involving myself. The moment of despair & doubt I tend to acknowledge & then defeat. I’ve got too much to WIN

Self compassion

I learned that I need to give myself some compassion and not be so hard on myself to change or have the answers right now

Inner conflict

I noticed that I’m still feeling a lot of guilt for needing time to heal and conflict about needing that and needing to be able to pay bills.

Letting go

I noticed that I have a hard time letting go and just let all the emotions ball up in a corner inside of me. For some reason I think they are so important to hold onto.

What do you need right now

I miss my late husband but more than that I want to feel alive again after 4 years of being a caretaker I want someone to take care of me. I want some degree of intimacy again but I’m not ready for a relationship yet. I want to feel pretty again not just the take care of everyone else

Emotion

I understand I need to respond to myself more kindly and that I need to tap into what I need before I can do anything to change the emotions I’m feeling

Stressed

I learned that even though I don’t present it on the outside, I do feel internally stressed. the reason I can’t start tasks is because I don’t believe that I will get them done, so I need to start being honest with myself about my feelings and use those feelings to create actions.

Not stressed

Doing this exercise in a moment that wasn’t piquant seemed to still help me recognize what I could use in that moment

Feeling better

Realized that I need to take better care of me so I can better care for Austin stella and the rest of my family

Addressing difficult feelimgs

I learned that it’s ok to feel difficult feelings and to do something kind for myself to make myself feel better. To also recognise I am my best teacher also and I can do this.
