Hard to calm
My mind felt busy, yet it was difficult to catch my thoughts. As if there were too many and none at the same time.

Its doing cartwheels
I felt pressure in my head which I know is just anxiety. It felt less severe afterwards
Difficult to try and observe from a distance without getting dragged in it’s a skill that I’m still trying to learn hopefully it will all start to click soon
It had a bit going on! But then I tried to focus and catch one it was like nothing there. Then I kinda tried to sit back and it helped just noticing what’s there and that I’m trying to problem solve stuff that’s not for now
Took half the time to stop jumping between thoughts. Then it slowed down and focused. Interesting
Found it much harder to do this when I’m very tired. Kept nearly falling asleep

Went from focusing on the breathing entirely to letting worried thoughts pass through and out. Then went back to breathing
Tried this before bed. I found my brain running at 100mph at first, and then it was quiet and I was falling asleep by the end. I guess that’s right though?

It was relatively slow, but thoughts about what I should be doing sometimes creep in. I remember to stay in the current moment and that makes me feel okay.
Always a challenge to slow the mind and relax. Makes meditation and breathwork important.
I was thinking of negative things initially. But then as I relaxed into the session I started to think of more positive things that seemed to creep into my mind.
So busy mind so so busy it’s going in every direction talking about everything
I struggled to focus on anything, mind seemed to be all over the place
I noticed my mind really calming down after I was observing it

I went into the exercise feeling chaotic, then everything gradually slowed when I made peace with my mind
I started with a calm, empty mind, but I was quickly overcome with random thoughts of things that I need to do, about conversations that I had had earlier in the day, and then noticing a throb on my right temple for the remainder of the meditation. Funnily enough, once the meditation was complete, the throbbing went away and my mind was calm again.
The monkey mind held my attention more than the guide. I’m not sure I did the exercise

It’s quite chaotic, but it helps to imagine the thoughts as physical things passing by in front of me.
