Courses for Shadows...

I'm on a course at the moment, in fact I've been doing more than one (mindfulness, creative writing, whatever else I can get involved with) but this one is a Jobcentre one. It isn't as bad as I thought it would be and the people are nice but still I am in a group I don't know and I tend to get a bit unnerved.

After having a good walk around and buying fruit instead of chocolate I had ten minutes to spare so I did some meditation for five minutes to prepare me for the anxiety of roleplay. It helped me be more relaxed and that in turn helped me to be a very good distracted shop assistant. The teacher said I played the role very well.

I've been managing to walk lots the last few days so hopefully that will help in the long run of me trying to eat healthier and get more exercise.

Mindfulness

Today I was at my Mindfulness support group and it was nice my sister was showing some of her crafts and getting good feedback and I was enjoying the atmosphere. Met up with a couple of people we had met on the course and one we are doing creative writing with. It reminded me that I should meditate more. I always feel so relaxed when I've done it but never quite seem to find the right time or remember to do it. We did a sound and thought meditation which I rather like, even if we were listening to ambulance sirens a far bit (the place is near the local hospital).

So this is a reminder to myself to go find meditations and try them and find the ones I like and chill out to them. Now to go and eat my dinner mindfully.
