Thanks, Lisa. Always great to get some positive feedback. It's true, I really have no idea what is going to happen next!

I had a good session with IC last week. We were talking about how I can better manage some of the work-related issues that come up periodically and which contributed to me being stressed at home. I expected us to discuss a few things that I could try to implement at work…but instead she recommended that I work on getting some daily mindfulness practice into my schedule outside work. That way I am more likely to come to the issues from a calmer, less reactive state. I love the idea of committing to doing something (daily mindfulness practice) rather than committing to not doing something (not reacting). Makes a lot of sense!

I mentioned that I'd been dabbling with mindfulness but was finding it hard to settle down in the mornings in the rush to get out the door (plus, you know, the sitch is on my mind). She suggested that I try going for a walk before sitting down to practice. So for the last couple of days I've woken up, walked to a nearby park and sat there for 15 minutes for my mindfulness practice. I have to say, the walk definitely puts me in a better mindset to start my practice. Highly recommend!
