Maggies - Mindfulness

Well done, mindfulness can be very helpful in eg learning to live now and not meeting  possible trouble halfway. Very good for cancer patients and our families.

All the best,

nice one nigel. it is tricky to master at first because our thoughts keep drifting . even when you have been doing it a while that still happens. the trick i have found is not to let that bother me, just gently bring the focus back . I use breathing in through my nose as my focus. my son has tried it but he gave up because “it didnt work “ for him. I think he wants instant results but it does take practice. Good luck with it friend and dont be too bothered if it doesnt seem to be doing anything straight away , it is good when it works x

Hi Nigel,Good to hear you have started mindfulness.I would like to try it when I move.I hope you find it helpful.Love Jane x

Thank you Latestart, it’s difficult but I’ll get there..

Cheers Angela, i think I was trying to hard to force it…rather than just being natural…

going back next week…and I’ll practice in the week…

Cheers Jane, the stress session I did a few weeks ago ago was very helpful…I know it will take time…when are you moving? 

No idea yet Nigel.I’m waiting for the house to go back on with the new agents.They are hoping for a quick sale but I won’t hold my breath.Good luck with the mindfulness x

Cheers Jane, I hope it sells soon….xx

Hi Nigel,

Great news that your trying new things.

I find mindfulness very difficult, brain is always wandering. I understand it takes a while but I just ended up getting frustrated.

I do breathing exercises etc and this does help my BP when I get check ups.

I've had counseling sone years ago, and CBT sessions which helped turn my life around at the time.

Wishing you all the best with your mindfulness I'm sure you'll get there.

Take care.

Evening Trevor, yeah I did the same today, was daydreaming through most of it, she did say that that’s normal, I’ll stick to it though….because I’m not stressed or anxious at the moment it’s a good time to try new things…hope your well mate…
