Wife ready to walk away

[Miler]

My IC has me focusing on first my internal sensations, like can I feel or hear my heartbeat, then working outward...noticing my breathing, noticing my surroundings, noticing my partner. After I take internal stock, I fully engage in the activity that I a participating. For example, when I am playing a board game with one of the kids, my mind wondering about work prevents me from fully connecting with my child. I don't fully engage in the moment and lose opportunities for connection and bonding. This most certainly happens with the W. The phone is a big distrator that prevents me from living in the moment, as well as spending time in my head (thinking about work, etc). So I have to put all of that aside (external things like the device are easy enough to leave in the other room), but thought control is much more difficult. Hard not to think 30 minutes in the future while doing something or talking with others.
