I have sort of been in denial when difficult situations occur and not accepting them. As in why is this happening!
Hey Martin
Thank you – what an excellent reply. Number 2 definately sounds better. I have been ignoring my values. I guess I’d always been of the opinion change your mindset or change the situation and have been trying to change my mindset which just hasn’t worked! And I have been fighting the difficult thoughts and feelings which as we know is a headache! The problem solving brain has been constantly trying to solve problems that are maybe best left alone or observed.
So doing things that matter yes. And I am doing an adrenal fatigue course too which might help give me some more oomph to do the things that matter.
Very helpful answer thank you!

Hi Martin
I struggle so much with my thoughts that its unbelieveable so this one is a hard one for me. I have had panic attacks over my thoughts and just allow myself to feel and accept my feelings is really uncomfortable for me. Especially if things in my life are not happening as I want them to. If you have any more tips on accepting thoughts and especially feelings would be great. I am busy, and trying to find some wind down time as well as time for meditation. I find observing thoughs and focusing on thoughts difficult. I have been doing tai chi for quite a while but am not doing well as it because I am busy, not relaxed, and the mind is busy and I’m fighting thoughts rather than being in the now focusing on tai chi to relax me! Then tai chi finishes at 8pm and I don’t wind down! I was able to do a weekly morning medication class til recently – 7.30am. If I don’t have caffeine beforehand it is a lot easier and many times I have even fallen asleep in the class. Otherwise I am fighting my thoughts. Suggestions welcome.
