Good day

It does happen a lot recently that I have medium to good days.


Using different types of meditation has helped me a lot. Then there's music. Relationships. 


I feel a sort of resistance as I'm moving forward. How dare I question the wisdom of lies I believed my whole life? It is kind of like that. Change never happens in a day. 


But I feel more at rest. I'm consistently lacking sleep but I'm working on getting better sleep by doing a meditation intended for that very purpose. 


My thoughts do get loud sometimes. That's ok but still upsets me when I need to sleep because I have work tomorrow. I have repeatedly gone to work as a sleepless zombie. I'm a student and for me the time of this practical training matters a lot. It's where honestly most of my education takes place because my school is kinda useless. 


So that's why the sleep thing is so important. 


I think though that it has been progressing in the right direction along with everything else in my life. 


To get back to the heading. Today was a good day. I'm having good days. You can have too.

Thank you for sharing. Meditation with music is greatly helpful. The music drowns out any chaos, and allows one to focus on relaxation. That is difficult in a public place, like a school. The thing about Meditation is that it helps to refresh your mind to better tackle those public settings, so it is still helping. It is great to know that you are understanding yourself, and you are moving forward. :) We believe in you, and keep up the great work. Thank you and God Bless.

I have been using the headspace app. They charge you 10e a month or 72 e a year. Still worth it for me but try free meditation first to see if it's your thing. I haven't read any books on sleep meditation.
It works for me to meditate during the day and slowly train my mind to be in a more relaxed state so that negative thoughts and feelings don't just bombard me at night. For "emergencies" I also have melatonin.
