So a couple days ago, i posted that a lifelong friend introducing me to an app to help with meditation and mindfulness. After 7 beginner sessions totalling 31 minutes, I think it may help me. I have already discovered that I live predominantly in the past. I am not in the present at least 90% of the time. I compare things that relate to my current state to past events, whether reminded by an event, a song, a word, or a feeling.

I've been introduced to a meditation tool. While listening to the intro and what to expect, the instructor said, "if your thoughts wander and take you away from focus, you can always start again" or something to that effect. I immediately thought, "I'll just need to keep restarting then." What I realized, is that there is soooo much noise in my head.

I saw this posted on Facebook and thought it was useful info to share. Numb and overwhelmed are pretty much me these days. THV

If you know me, you know I struggle with this. I always see/expect the worst. That way I don't get too disappointed when it all goes to shit. This year has been rough for me. I'm struggling, financially and emotionally. My financial woes came to a head at the end of January, when I lost my boyfriend/roommate. I've had to file bankruptcy and am working 2 jobs to make rent.

I am just finding out that not everyone has an inner monologue. WHAT?!? This is a mystery to me, as mine is CONSTANT. I can not remember a time that I wasn't silently narrating every single second of every day. I think that maybe that could be part of why I have trouble remembering things. If my inner voice wasn't always talking, maybe I could listen better and remember more.
