08/13/2023 A Mindless Funk

I woke up feeling decent today. Although, I found myself in a mindless funk. Just flowing through the motions without any sense of mindfulness. Until I caught myself, and forced myself into the moment. This is the only place life truly exists. I have to remind myself of that. This is one of my fibro symptoms I struggle with most. I block out the pain and symptoms by simply not thinking about them, but then I forget to think about the present moment at all. Thats when I pulled out my tool kit, with all of the mindfulness techniques that I love. Checking in with my body, checking in with my mind, noticing whats happening in that moment and showing appreciation, listening to the sounds, then feeling sensations, until I am then in the present. I practice my 1-2 breath just to make sure I stay here.
