That really is the key. I did a meditation this morning about this very thing. I am imagining an interaction I need to have that I feel uncomfortable about. And I imagine breathing slowly though it. Before reacting, I can pause and take a breath. 💚
I should do it too, sometimes, very often I respond without even thinking for 2 seconds and I end up saying reckless things, very reckless. I don't really know how to meditate, I get distracted in the process and think about anything. Did you have any uncomfortable episodes on SN this week?

Nothing big. Just a few times where I realized that I am sharing something that doesn't need to be shared. I am getting better. I am not great at meditating either. Bit sometimes in the morning I wake up early and stare at the ceiling and and think about things for extended period of times. Or when I am doing long drives on empty country roads, I feel like I get into kind of a meditative state.

I understand you, does that happen to you that you get lost in your thoughts at any moment, can you dissociate yourself even when washing dishes or walking? What is the definition of meditation really? I am in the clouds all the time, but I don't know if that counts as meditation.

I feel like I am in a meditative state quite often. My life is very quiet with a lot of space. And I am also in the clouds often. Not sure either if it is meditation.. but I do a lot of deep contemplation, and feel like I am out of my body. I really enjoy sun gazing and watching fires also. I think these are types of meditation. A focal point helps me disappear..
