It didn't help me to sit in silence. I would just dwell on thoughts. I found that listening to music with lyrics and focusing on the lyrics was a better form of meditation and mindfulness. I always worried, too, that I wasn't "good" at being mindful, but the truth is, everyone is individual and no one method works for everyone. So, I had to find different ways to calm my mind and be present. I'm glad that you found something that works for you.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02117545563389172262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1415343028540596846.post-49886157566768376892013-09-22T20:31:37.164+01:002013-09-22T20:31:37.164+01:00Wow.

You're completely right that letting go of the balloons that don't make sense (or fit with your inner values, or however you define it) will gradually release your mind to be free from anorexia. You are making great progress, and that IS something to be proud of. I know you can do it! Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04102292827152553079noreply@blogger.com
