I really did get some good sleep Sunday night, i woke up about 3.30 pm and i have been in my pj's all day, the previous two days really did wipe me out, however, i have learned some valuable lessons that will help me deal with my mental health in a more positive way. I cant stress enough how important it is for me to stay focused on living in the present. Ever since i started to learn about Buddhism it has taught me a few things that will help me do that, staying on top of them all can be a days work sometimes, i don't listen to music with words, as that can be trigger that's takes me out of the now, i have taken away all my photos as they to can be a trigger that takes me away from living in the now, i do not celebrate any kind of anniversary, whether it be a birthday or a fatality as they to can be a trigger and take me away from the now. I know that as a human i can tend to hold on to thoughts, feelings and emotions so i practice letting go of them once i have recognise and acknowledged them. I try to apply mindfulness to every act through out my day so i can pay attention to the sights, sounds, smells, tastes and textures that come with simple tasks like showering, brushing my teeth, cooking dinner and eating dinner, walking and conversing, driving. Certainly no more movies with any crime, violence, abuse, drugs or any thing that does not have a link to lollipops, rainbows, unicorns and glitter sprinkles.
