RE: Mindfulness Monday - Week 12 - I love you to love me
Sound interesting @tryskele😉 this is a refreshing post I've read seriously today. I'd like to escape rather than cope with it😊 but somehow, I think my unconciousness never let me go.. it will appeare in my dream as a solution. So the only thing I need when the troublesome situation touch me, I'll take a nap or sleep longer than usual and once I wake up.. I know what I have to do and take care of everything I can as soon as possible, thoroughly.
Nobody can resolves my problems, it's only me who able to resolve with a little help of encouraging words such as you're posting here. Thank you for sharing this.
I do the same thing when I have a big problem to work out. I sleep and the solution comes to me. I don't get actually escape, sometimes I feel trapped at home. But the brain needs its vacation too. It needs that time to regenerate. I'm glad you liked it. That means a lot to me coming from you :)
That's why we need to hang out with friends and family once in a while😉 I am lucky that I have big family with so many children around😂 they're playing a big role as a recreation place in my mind. Do you think that's why sometimes people choose to do meditation as a way to keep the peacefull mind or it's just another escapism?
I think it depends on the person and their purpose behind it. I do mediations twice a week. Where I work on clearing my mind to be peaceful. I also listen to meditations when I go to sleep. I've learned not to do things that keep my mind active like finding your spirit animal or like that. More of ones that talk me down to sleep, like a bedtime story, but where I'm focused on my breathing and my body relaxing.
The main reason I said I use somethings a escapism instead of coping. Is because my brain doesn't have an off switch. So I have to occupy it as to not think. It's usually certain video games I use to do that. I need to get back into painting so it's a more positive expression.
Absolutely agree... every person has their own situation and way to clear their mind. I think that when you write down what's in your mind through painting or this post, it's called a sweet escape isn't it😉
Because I am a muslim and I have to do 5 times a day of praying where I have 5-7 minutes to only think about God, it's become my meditation kind of activity. And I can do more praying whenever I need too. I appreciate other who creates such a beautiful and inspiring post or painting or songs as a result of their sweet escape. But I believe that it's not just escape but also coping with their unswitched off mind like yours.
Wish you all the best @tryskele.. enjoy your day
Thanks @cicisaja :) You made my day!! Have a great day or night .
