Meditation...

I'm sticking with it, and I can already see the difference in my life from just two days of it. I can handle my 5 year old daughter again without becoming unnecessarily stressed. I feel the depression lifting, and I feel more present in my life.

When I meditate I focus on my breath and when intrusive thoughts enter my head, I acknowledge the thought and come back to my breath. I found it interesting that the two thoughts that kept popping in my head regarded time and what other people think of me. Meditation brings those issues to the forefront in my head because they are subconsciously always weighting me down. Yet, at the same time meditation deals head on with both of these issues. The more I meditate, the more present and comfortable I am with myself. Also, meditation slows my mind down so I can appreciate the important part of my life like my family.
