training my mind for peace two simple practices for a simple life
I have no idea if adopting centering meditation or encouragement journaling could potentially be useful to you, but perhaps finding some simple nurturing pastimes that you can do consistently may be worth incorporating into your daily routine, especially if you are trying to reshape your mind in order to be more inclined to cultivate a sense of peace. For anyone who experiences anxiety in their body, I encourage you to give centering meditation a try, it might be helpful in the way it was to me. As I sit I focus on relaxing every tiny part of my body, down to my toes (while belly breathing). Even if it’s hard to calm my body, being consistent with it has over time given me an incredible tool to finally resolve my panic attacks and create a peaceful relationship with my mind and body. Maybe this won’t work for you, but there are so many enriching practices you can incorporate into your routine that if done with dedication during the good days as well as the challenging ones could possibly make a big difference. Please share what is helpful to you! I definitely don’t have all the answers. Take care
