Daily Mindfulness Check-In June 22, 2020

The supermarket and thoughts 
You are in a supermarket, the supermarket symbolizes your mind, and your thoughts are represented by other shoppers. While shopping, some other shoppers pass you quietly while others make critical and distracting comments about the shop and items, or shout at each other whilst you are there. 
You can choose how you react, keep your attention focussed on your shopping or engage with them and start moaning or fighting as well. Same applies to your thoughts, you can decide how to respond to critical thoughts.
How do you usually react?

I used to get high and and drown everything out. I was numb and liked it that way. Now that' I'm sober I usually call my rehab counselor or a listener when I'm overwhelmed. So far it's working.
@InfinityandBeyond23
Getting sober is a huge achievement, congratulations! I am so happy for you and also glad you call someone for help, please stay on your track

@amiablePeace77
Thank you so much for your very nice post! It made my night! I very much like being sober but still find it a struggle sometimes. I think I can stay strong because I want to be but unfortunately have to reach out to others from time to time. I have been very fortunate to find some great support when I've needed it (there have been a few rocky moments!) and am extremely grateful to the amazing people I have met along the way, yourself included!!!💜
@amiablePeace77 usually I have learned to shop at a local family owned store that's pretty much empty except for me and the wonderful family running it! I'm friendly with everyone at that produce shop and smile a lot! And thank them all the time, for staying open, keeping me alive...
