So day 7 was about mantras. Which started with “so hum” but which my brain heard as “so hung”. *sigh*. Took a little bit for my adolescent self to get past that, but once I did it was reasonably effective. Except that when my mind started to wander my brain’s reaction was to SHOUT the mantra (only in my head of course!) Lol it worked but it was all the drama and the opposite of calm.
Overall though, I suspect given some practice and a different mantra this could be a good technique for me. Google tells me “sohum” means “I am he/she/that” in Sanskrit. So there’s your educational moment of the day. Have also seen it written as both one word and two -- it was definitely being pronounced as two in the session.

| Definitely not my first choice of mantra |
Survived 7 days! With no breaks :). Win! While I can sense that it’s a good thing for me to do, I don’t enjoy it at all. I think the goal will be 3x/wk through the end of Oct and then we’ll see. I’ll put it on the calendar - once it’s on the calendar, it’s real. My v old school, hand written, colour coded calendar. Lol not that I don’t have multiple electronic ones on the go too, but this is the one running my life atm ;)
