Last night (Day 5) I did right before bed again -- and wrote some notes on my phone, but wasn't into it enough to get up and blog. Which means today - you get two posts together! I'm sure you're thrilled.
So from yesterday:
Today's focus was emotions - and she starts w stress?!?! Wtf lady - that’s the main emotion I’m trying to get rid of??? Lol so yeah - felt the physical effects of that instantly. Which, in itself is moderately interesting. But seriously seemed to be the opposite of what I embarked on this whole journey for.
Then she switched to gratitude, which had me slightly puzzled as it turns out I don't know the physical effects of gratitude? But then I realized she considers love and gratitude interchangeable. Love to me is far more powerful and thus was significantly easier to trigger a response. Although admittedly not as easy as stress. Hmmmm.
So yeah - interesting for sure, but I kinda just want to go back to my clouds ;). Acknowledge I can see how this could be very powerful and being able to switch emotions on command would certainly be a useful skill. But yeah, certainly not the calming experience of the other ones.
Fast forward to today.
Day 6 was “intention” which I really couldn’t take seriously and started daydreaming in the middle of lol. Ah well. The one thing I did agree with though was at the end she said something about 'if you want more of something in your life, make a point of recognizing and tagging when you see little instances of it throughout your day'. Want to be happier? Identify what little things make you happier in even tiny doses. More successful? Acknowledge the little successes in life. That I can actually see being effective.
Also - have to admit that while I spent most of it daydreaming instead of focusing “productively” (???) I was still calmer after the fact. So that’s interesting.
Is definitely still hard for me to fit in though. Not because I don't have 10 mins to spare, but because I want to use my spare 10 minutes doing other things.
