This was pretty easy because my mind is always wandering or racing…
Calm and happy to have the support of the Mojo app.
What the heck was that about.
It’s like watching fireworks. Makes me feel crazy, like watching several films at once, all in fast forward.
It was hard to stay awake when trying to focus on my thoughts.
There were so many thoughts there
My mind was constantly foing between thinking about three different women I know, my ex, someone I currently like and a friend, then occasionally my parents, knowing I need to speak to them about my mental health.
I feel like that was the first time I actually was able to observe my mind and where it wanted to go. It wanted to stress about upcoming major events and all the other little things at the same time, but I wasn’t active in it, just observing. I think that was my first successful meditation.
Difficult exercise even in its simplicity
Liked other exercises better
I started off worried about something.. it felt consuming. Ended not even thinking about it. The thought kinda… Passed
I have regular thoughts that my mind goes back to, like a stuck record or an overplayed song on the radio. They come randomly, to fill space or silence in my mind. I jump around from far past to the present to the recent past to the future quite a lot. None dominate, the thoughts ping pong around.
At first it was worries, then kind of a blank static, and then it switched to other random thoughts. I’m not sure what it really means to “observe” but I enjoyed this meditation.
I enjoyed the time out and I guess I feel more relaxed observing the mind you can’t fail just try not to let the thoughts overwhelm you because they’re just thoughts
I feel like it’s getting clearer. It began like the first session of this exercise, my mind was a barrage of formless traffic. I couldn’t focus on any one thought, only that they were whizzing by me at incredible speeds. As I kept focusing they gained definition, then turned into something silly towards the end, but I was at least cognizant of it. Interesting stuff

At one point I wept just a bit. I observed myself outside myself, with God spectating with me, and we pitied the chaotic mess we saw. I felt in control and above it all.

Watching it do things it wants to do, and not judging it. It was funny because it would get somewhere, start doing things and then realise it’s not for it/ it didn’t actually want to! What was so funny was there was no restraint so it could’ve done it if it wanted to. Like a kid at a diving pool bombing about the place, then getting to the top of the 10m platform and realising it’s actually very scary and wanted to come down.
I overthink a lot. Overthinking and anxiety go hand in hand especially for people with ADHD. The guided meditation is very helpful for me.

My brain just seemed to calm down and my self feel more relaxed. It’s good to hear that it’s ok to feel all of these racing thoughts running through your mind.
It just wants to do stuff, but glad i can just allow it, and be curious
