"When the drumbeats go like this..."
Howdy My Friend. Jim and I had a great conversation and a lot of laughs about getting stuck in grooves that become ruts, following too many options, and appreciating the plateaus of progress.
And a new twist on the effectiveness of Box Breathing. Taking the chaotic "mental panorama" down to a manageable focus. It helped Jim to get to sleep when he had too many thoughts causing a "shut up and go to sleep, head" moment!
We closed with a meditation I patched together from a couple of practices -The Rain and Earth Meditation. It can be done for a half hour with a fuzzy blanket, or on-the-fly during your work day.
When you've tried any of the combos we discussed here, or the Rain and Earth meditation, please report back!
