I have recently noticed that my Dad always seems very anxious so I think that I'll ask if he wants to meditate with me sometime soon. He probably has always been very stressed out but I never noticed because I was so stressed out too. He is leaving on a business trip tomorrow so I'll have to wait a few weeks before I can show him how it is done.

Day 6
Today I had a nice, short meditation session. I was very calm all day so I just did a quick session- laying on my bed and focusing on my breathing- to preserve my good mood. Since I didn't have to go to school I was able to avoid technology for most of the day. Unlike last time, I felt very calm without my technology and I realized that constantly checking my phone makes me very anxious. When I remove the phone and rationalize the fact that a few hours away from social media will not kill me I feel very peaceful.

I think it is cool that you are thinking about your dad's stress level during your experience. One of the benefits of mindfulness is empathic thinking that results in compassionate behaviors. We feel enlightened when we help others.
ReplyDeleteI think I can almost sense, just by reading what you have to write in these entries, that you seem to be feeling more at ease.
