Day 5
I don't know why but today I didn't have a good meditation experience. I was sitting on my bed with my eyes closed and focusing on my breathing but I kept on getting distracted. No one was home and nothing happened today that should have caused anxiety. I just kept on getting songs stuck in my head and they wouldn't go away. I even tried to picture a flower in my mind and then when a song came into my head I would try to make the petals blow off into the wind. However, instead of blowing off into the wind the petals turned into fireworks and I got even more distracted! So, I gave up after 10 minutes of distraction and ran on the treadmill instead.I felt calm after my run so I guess the running had the same effect as the meditation.

I too find it harder to meditate sometimes. It is probably very important to note that meditation without exercise is not good either. Meditation for the mind, and exercise for the body (which includes the brain). Brains work better if they are well oxygenated, which tends to happen when our blood flow to it is increased because of exercise.
