Nursing a Tummy

Blame it on my tummy.

Thursday came and went. My Thursday plan included a blog post, my tummy had other plans.

Here I am and as promised I wanted to address Karen's question.

In my last post I wrote about my mantra of ridding myself of attachment. She asked, "Do you have 'specific' steps or progressions to accomplish that?"

Great question, Karen.

I am doing my best to live as mindfully as possible. It takes practice and I would hardly tout myself as a master of the process but I would accept an award as a professional practicer.

What mindful living has taught me is to to be more aware of what I am feeling. When I notice I am feeling anxious, angry, annoyed, jealous or worried, I counter that awareness with a conscious reminder to detach. Rid yourself of attachment. I repeat this to myself until I feel more peaceful.

So here's the steps:

• Bring into your awareness what you are feeling-Notice it.
• When you are experiencing something you'd like to shift, remind yourself of the mantra to rid yourself of whatever attachment you are clinging to.
• Repeat it until you notice a shift in how you feel.

Hope that helps. It is a Godsend to me and I am glad to pass it on in hopes it will be helpful to you too.

Have wonderful weekends and I'll meet ya back here sometime next week.
