Mindfulness Day 18

So, today it was "electric clarity": an emphasis on the feeling of snapping back to homebase. Semi-ironically, I suppose, this was the day my brain was not great at it--even moreso, it would meander, or sliiiide back to homebase, rather than snapping, today. Kind of, "Wait, what? Oh yeah, homebase, yeah..." instead of "Oops, homebase, my friend!"

A good lesson, though: embracing the jump back, as that was something I felt "bad" about a lot--was I letting thoughts pass and gently releasing whenever I snapped backward? Maybe not! Hopefully not! Sounds like not! =)


  • I appreciate that I was able to take my moments on realizing things weren't working right in my body/mind/brain/eye/things (some flashes in the peripheral of my right eye), I just set stuff down and went to go sleep it off as best I could. I'm not certain that's what I needed, but I decided that was what felt right and I ought to do for the situation, so I was able to do it guilt-free. Even if maybe it was brought on by my own weird sleep schedule lately--I did it for the right reasons!
    • I can improve on this by trying to keep myself on a better sleep schedule as is =) I thought about this a bit today, and I think I'll let the Lego set go for the night, deciding it's more important to get the rest than maintain that schedule. Only benefits, really: that means more time to enjoy it when I have time!
  • I appreciate that I was able to focus more on work today: I got a lot more done on my primary project of requirements, and that felt pretty good.
    • I can improve on this by pushing for that feeling, by focusing on the work I need to get done, rather than slipping into avoidance in procrastination: figuring out what the heck it is that keeps me so far away from it when I tend to actually enjoy it once it gets going.
  • I appreciate that I really take a lot of joy from the media I find interesting: that I like sharing all of it and wanting the rest of the world to understand what is so lovely and joyous and great about it all.
    • I can improve on this by focusing less on whether others notice all the time, and more on the times that they do.
