One time I practiced mindfulness recently is......
Two days ago I found myself with some setbacks in my OCD recovery. While I was in panic and doing the repetitive stuff I was able to think "gosh, I'm having a hard time. I've made a lot of progress and still have a way to go." And I just watched it, and instead of being mad at myself for it...I felt compassion and gentle about it
I have been lacking in the department but will do damage control with some peaceful meditation sessions :)
Before I go to sleep calm grateful and peaceful mind
I try to be mindful everyday if I can, even better if its before bed as I always seem to get the best night sleep after. I like to do meditation or I have some colouring books and sketch books where I sit and draw or paint for half an hour and concentrate on the feeling of the pencil or brush. Being mindful has helped me a lot in my journey so far.

:o sounds good Plane. So how was the experience? Did you enjoyed it or how it impacted you? :)
@ASilentObserver
When I mediated I get the feeling of peace. Quiet in my head. I sleep better. I feel calm. More relax.

Wow, sounds amazing Ane. Keep practicing. Probably we could learn some more things from you. How about sharing your experience on it in a new thread created by you?
@ASilentObserver
I used positive magazine mediation on youtube. Yoga introduce me to mediating. But I found the positive magazine mediation on Google news by accident and started listening to it. I found myself feeling peace. Or I listen to the sound of spa that play nature sound. I listen to the rain and the ocean. It sound so peaceful sometime that is the only way to get any kind of sleep.
@ANEZKA013

I meditate everyday.
@considerateRiver61
Awesome river. So hows the impact of it? Would like to share with us?
@considerateRiver61
I try to mediated everyday but sometime I have to mediated several time just to calm myself down.
meditating for 22 minutes is needed.this is from my guruji coz the mind needs to settle down the past then get back to present and it starts planning for future until you concentrate on your breathing pattern and go into the PRESENT the mind calms at that frequency ..its like waveless and enters to the depth of the ocean.good luck its my humble opinion.choice is always yours .if you happen to break the timing someone comes up you can always get back to that state and carry on never to blame anyone coz they are only the arrows someone above is giving a test.
