DAY 24: Aware Of My Breathing

DAY 24: Aware Of My Breathing

Right now I do not know what to write about. As I scanned through all the points that  came up today I notice they're easy to change. I did write about half an hour a go about a point that was personal and will remain private. I still want to write a shareable blog post. 

I am not sure what to write so I will just write about my day. I woke up at the usual time of 6 – 7 am. I wanted to get up way earlier but I slept in and allowed my body to rest more. I caught a cab to my father's house.  

I work for my father. I am his carer. I have been his assistance and support for 6 months now. My father has a terminal illness. I have come to accept that he has cancer. We do not talk about it much at all. We prefer to keep living as if it is not there but when we need to focus on the medical sides to it then we will speak about that. Today we went to the hospital for an hour and a half. I went shopping and then headed home at 5pm. Throughout the whole day I enjoyed my 4 count breathing.  

I have technology that helps me keep aware of the breathing. I will not live without it now. I like breathing, it makes me happier, and less in my mind. I came up with the idea to use technology back when I first started the DIP lite course. It helps me condition myself to breathe. When I turn it off I am now able to breathe as if natural. But without the tech it is easier to forget and get swept up in thought. The more I use it I am becoming aware quicker to when I am not breathing. The breathing helps me stop thinking throughout the day. Pretty happy as it is a tool I want to get consistent with.
