In stillness, I can observe my thoughts, without giving myself to them, and I find that when I do this, the thoughts slow down - it's like they can't go full-tilt if I don't give myself to them. And it's okay that thoughts come - I don't let them go, I just observe them and let them be. I just take deep breaths and go deeper into stillness each time. Sara Mo, that is so sweet! hope your week is going well too. Starlene, that’s one of the reasons I’m doing much better with the idea of “stillness” rather than meditation.

My mind's been going full speed a head, non-stop, every which way. When I intentionally quiet my thoughts, they just start up again and I have to purposefully let them go. And then they come back. Any pointers? Focus and stillness is something I’ve been positively yearning for lately! My mind’s been going full speed a head, non-stop, every which way.
