RE: Psychology Addict # 28 | Mindfulness - Acceptance, Awareness & Being Present

in #psychology7 years ago

I would have taken a moment in which I fully acknowledged my stress : what caused it, how it made my body react and how it disrupted my emotions

Judging by my experience when i am stressed i always know what caused it and how my body and emotions reacted and even accept my ''pain'' but although i pretty much have the big idea the stomach ''pain'' can't seem to leave me. Thank god i am only stressed at very small things :P

Also i think that a person should be strong in order to deal with all of this in that way. To accept the pain is something only a few can achieve i believe and they need to do most of the job themselves that's the trick you are somewhat alone in this but if you managed it somehow then you are a completely new person!

As for the 3 minutes homework i don't know what's wrong with me :P i felt absolutely nothing. I thought i did something wrong, i read it again and still same result the complete nothingness :P

Hello my dear @filotasriza3

Ok, this made me giggle! Even more so because of the smile you put at the end!

I thought i did something wrong, i read it again and still same result the complete nothingness :P

Now, tell me. What were you expecting to feel anyways? The homework is an activity that helps to improve focus and concentration. In the extreme there are two ways of embarking on this:

  1. You can just manage to sit there focusing on your breathing and thinking of nothing else, until, next thing the three minuted went by.
  2. You struggle to concentrate as your thoughts keep drifting away!

If you said you felt nothing, I am going to make a guess that your experience was closer to 1 than to 2; am I right? If so, you should be very pleased. This indicates you don't find very difficult to focus; or, for that matter, to engage with the present moment!

I am still giggling! :)

hahaha now i am giggling too, you guessed right it the first 1 but i think the main reason i manage to focus on the breathing and not anything else is the 3 minutes period, if it was 5-10 then waves and waved of thoughts will be all over me! ( even when i go to sleep many thoughts come to mind :P)

At least you reassured me somehow that it wasn't complete nothingness, i can focus!!! :P
