Well I lost a little momentum here due to lack of sleep. I have been sleeping on the couch due to my shoulder injury and it has become increasingly more uncomfortable as the couch springs are just not made for sleeping. Therefore, I have been getting up late and napping in the afternoon.
Tough to be productive that way :(
I also fell out of step with my meditations for a couple of days there. It really does make a difference for me when I start out the day with the five minute meditation. It gets my body and mind in a good place and just sets the stage for continuing every hour. I am pretty much back on track now.
The good news is that my shoulder is healing well and I made up for any lost time from re-injury by doing some energy work on it. I actually get to take the sling off when I am at home now and am able to type with 2 hands for short periods of time. You have know idea how much easier that makes it for me to write this. It took about ten times as long using the voice recognition software as there were so many errors to correct.
I am getting the feedback that the one minute meditations really make a difference for people when we do them. So just a reminder to do them :) Even if you don't do it every hour, it still helps.
If you have gotten off track, then you can easily get back on track. There is no time like the present.
I will be exploring other structures to support people in this and would love to hear your ideas. Feel free to post anonymously if you prefer.
Warmly,
Stacey

Hi Stacy and everyone!
I'm feeling better on many days, but I am having a hard time doing the meditations consistantly. I'm having lots of problems the last few days with the teeth grinding/clenching that I do (awake) when my anxiety is too high. I've gotten a small digital timer I can clip to my waistband. Now, I can know when to do the 1 min. and not forget to do it. Still looking for more relief.
Note: This is the first time I've been able to get into the blog since your last comment/post earlier in the month. Odd.
Hi Stacy,
I haven't been leaving comments recently, had trouble getting here. But the meditation is still working for me. I don't do the short ones as often as I could if I had more time. I do it as often as possible and sometimes my body tells me that its time.
Couple of comments here. When I'm feeling my arms, legs, etc., during meditation, I can feel the vibrations of them. But, there are days when I feel stronger vibrations on one side of my body than the other. Mostly, the vibrations feel stronger on the right side of my body than on the left.....but surprisingly this morning,for the first time, they felt just as strong on my left side. I'm not sure if there's any significants to this or not. This, of course, is during the 5 minute meditation. I'm still feeling the calming benefits from meditating. Thank you!
Hi Stacey and everyone
I have missed doing my meditations for a week and found the anxiety building plus I was easily irritated by small things. I got back to the meditations today and have found life so much better! had some amazing clarity on issues that have been bouncing around in my head for weeks. Also I am in my car alot so when I come to a red light I do my one minute stillness excersise.
Hi Stacy,
I started the meditations and it was hard to be still. My mind would not be still. My body felt very tense.
But I stayed with it and felt some peace.
