Happy Friday to all of you, how was your week? laugh

Sometimes we go through the day feeling odd but not knowing why. sad Your body though always knows what it needs and when you slow down the mind you can hear the message it is giving you. I find a good way to do it is simply to sit down and ask your body parts in a kind way how they are, like "Hey feet, how are you feeling", "Hey legs, how are you doing today?"In the beginning it might be strange to talk to your body like that but it can help to establish a kinder, better relationship between your body and mind.

Another way is simply to do a body scan meditation Body scan with Jon Kabat Zin https://youtu.be/u4gZgnCy5ew

I was late to my group hike, and they had already left. I went home.

@Offmytrack

Oh no Offmytrack, hope you were not too much disappointed. Did you do any other exercise instead at home? When is the next hike?

The next real hike will be when we go to Death Valley, a week from Monday. There are so many things to see there.

@amiablePeace77, my week was hair-raising. That seems to be a common theme for my days lately.

I've been really up and down as of late, Hence me not being in any discussions. Not sure what sent me off. I do love a good body scan. Thank you for sharing!

I hope the body scan will help you. Seems that something triggered you and it's still at the back of your mind? Hugs

This week was average and then it turned into one big mess. I am in such a foul, awful mood. February is not starting out that great and I think I'd just like to go over to my parents' house and have my mom take care of me for a while. :)

Sometimes moms are the best caregivers. Sorry that you had a bad start in this month, I hope the rest will be better, hugs.

Happy Friday to all of you, how was your week?

It was challenging. The place where I go for group therapy has reopened in a limited way, restricting the number of people in each group. I made it to four of the group sessions, but Friday's was cancelled. I drove all the way there only to find that out. It's in another town.

The weather (snow and cold) made it tricky to get around. There was a lot of shoveling to be done, and I'm getting old (59 years old). It was difficult.

@WharfRat

Oh no, that must have been so disappointing after just having made it to the first 4, hugs. Driving through the snow is no fun, I can totally relate to that, when younger one tends to be more "courageous" but being older one sees the risks more.

@amiablePeace77 I have asked a body part that was hurting what it was trying to tell me.

Moving just gently seems to start to loosen up tight places.

@soulsings

Makes sense soul, forcing the body to do something the body can't do will only result in injury.
