I just practised Rick Hanson’s “Whole body breathing” a couple of minutes ago.
Rick Hanson is not the only one to teach that, I did similar things before.
But in his description in the app Insight Timer, he explains whole body breathing is good for training lateral thinking which in turn helps to be less self-centeted in ones thoughts…
So… I started to understand… theorywise in terms of psychotherapy I usually hear that I am not self-centered enough.
→ much more self-care is needed
I just don’t manage to practice very much “self-care” in this madhouse and I often feel bad because of that.
But now today I realized that this is maybe how I manage to survive the terrible situation I find myself in → maybe I got less self-centeted through different techniques and meditation… and maybe that’s the clue why I still go on with everything…
Meditation…
Does this make sense? Or am I cheating myself…?
