December Meditation Challenge

Done.

Day 1 Complete - 7 minutes for Tai Chi Exercise Meditation and 8 minutes for Breathing Meditation.

On a random side note, my dogs freaked out when I started to do the Tai Chi. :lol:

Meditation Challenge, Day 2
=1 minute equal breathing
=5 minutes meditation

Hoping to do a longer session later, but this will do for now.

Day 2: Things were a little more challenged due to some issues that arose today. My thoughts this day were jumbled and frustrated with some letters I got from our rental management company about our annual inspection and the things they are demanding us to fix and another company looking to garnish my checks again. These things have made the day a little more difficult and while I am trying not to stress over it, I kept finding myself getting more and more frustrated. The meditation helped to calm me down and hopefully not make myself sick with stress again. We shall see what tomorrow brings. I did the Tai Chi meditation within 5 minutes and the Breathing Meditation only lasted for about 4 minutes. It was a bit of a struggle to keep my mind focused.

Meditation Challenge, Day 3
=Backup & Restore
=10 minutes meditation

Day 3: Due to passing a rather painful kidney stone and the movements causing high amounts of pain, I was unable to complete the Tai Chi Meditation. I did get 10 minutes on the Breathing Meditation. Actually helped to control the pain and got me to relax a little bit and actually passed the kidney stone about 30 minutes after that.

I imagine that was tough Silvermane, and I'm glad this could help! Thanks for keeping up with your posts!

This is so wonderful! I remember being part of one of the challenge groups about three years ago and it was a huge help to me at the time. I think this is exactly what I need (even if I am a few days late).

Hop right in wherever you're at Locksley! It's lovely to have more folks along for the ride!

I'm really awful at doing updates. I do it, I then just don't post about it. done day 3 and 4.

10 minutes for Day 4!

Day 4: I got about 5 minutes for the Tai Chi. It wasn’t my best work and still a bit painful. 5 minutes on a breathing exercise.

Every day isn't our best day. What matters is the doing, even when it's not our best. You've got this!

Did my ~30 mins of Corpse Yoga while waiting to leave for work. Not sure exact time, it loses meaning once you get into that trance.

10 minutes for day 5!

Just in case no one has told you lately Kasumi, you are awesome and steadfast! Thank you for being you.

Kasumi it's - Day 5 going Strong!
20 combined 4 count breath minutes
might get another 10 in before bed! Thanks Kasumi!

Day 5: I got 20 minutes of a breathing meditation in today at work. I had the extra time on my lunch and enjoyed the peace that it brought me.

A wonderous 20 minute corpse yoga session done during my break.

10 minutes after the work holiday party. Glad to be home.
