I am a kindergaten teacher. Thinking of living without attachment makes me stressed. When I am stressed, I overeat. Work helps me with stress. I am intrigued by fashion but shopping helps me. I have done research about living in the moment. I am doing research for personal reasons. I am a realist. I recognize stresses of everyday life. I talk regularly with friends, my mom, and my sister. I live paycheck to paycheck. I have health insurance.
I plan in a band. I play calm music and bit of a buddhist. I use music to help me calm. I am simple and not much of a shopper. I have a tendency to overeat when I am happy.
I've been talking with my friends about ways to de-stress and it's been very helpful. Seems like a good idea, what did you come up with? I'm going to try guided mediation. My friend, who knows a lot about meditation, while guide me through sessions. Oh, that sounds interesting. Why did you pick this option? I'd tried mediation before, which a lot of people recommend, but couldn't stick with it. My mind would drift. But then I learned that having a guide can keep you focused. The guide describes a peaceful setting, or something like that. Yeah, that makes sense. When are you starting? This weekend. My friend said I could pick music if I want. Do you have any relaxing music you like? Hm, it really depends on your taste I guess. Some jazz or 50-60's soul should do the trick. Anything in particular you're looking for? I don't really have anything in mind. I don't want it to be Muzak. But it can't be too interesting that I think about it. I'm supposed to turn off my mind.
