Day 2
Today I tried Guided Meditation. I tried really hard to get past the voice and focus on meditation but I just couldn't. I know it works for some people but, if I want to clear my mind of all thoughts then a voice in my head is not going to help me. After five minutes of that annoying voice telling me that I was at the beach when I clearly was not, I gave up. I laid on the floor in my room and closed my eyes. It was perfect! I immediately felt the tension go away and I was floating in the clouds. I think I might have fallen asleep though because I opened my eyes 2 hours later and I couldn't remember what had happened. Maybe I should try sitting up next time and focusing on my breathing so that I don't drift off into sleep and lose the meaning of the exercise. I might even try a candle tomorrow. I want one that smells like the beach or like a forest!

I understand what you mean about the voice getting in the way. I listened to one today that was a particularly dry, kind of boring voice. But I still want to try to do it because it was a different kind of meditation. Still, I think the quality of the recording (type of voice or music) matters for me. Also, yes, I try not to meditate when I am tired because I want to be alert, not asleep. Thanks for these reflections, Kaitlyn.
