AH HA moment that had me LAUGHING OUT LOUD this morning.
One of my Later Life Cognitive Base Group (L.L.) goals this week was to re read the paperwork on Diaphragmatic breathing technique and to practice doing it for 10 breaths each morning. I kept losing count, never knowing how many I did. My thought earlier this week was that it would work better if this was done for a set number of minutes instead. I could even set a timer.
This morning, as I was bent on keeping track of how many breaths I was doing, I was having a conversation in my head with the group - formulating just the right words to explain this experience. (God, it takes a lot of words to set the scene to explain a simple AhHa moment I caught on the "tape" of my mind.) So I am laying down doing the breathing having a 'mental' conversation (:>) here at how diverse and multi meaning the word mental is) Conversation in my head to formulate just the right words to clearly and concisely articulate succinctly what I want the group to hear OR also mental meaning crazy and so forth.
I had noticed over the week that I would lose track of the count.. Never knew how many breaths I breathed. (:>) - just know I was breathing still because I was still here -AH HA - what a wonderful way to describe death, dieing, dead, - as not being here anymore. Wonder if that's what people meant when they used the word "gone")
Back to breathing. I had the thought early on in the week (week being Tues - Tues) that it would be better to do breathing for a set number of minutes, could set a timer. Eliminate the struggle of trying to count.
Thought I had today, Tues, was that I could have changed 'it' - (the goal) DAH!!!
So simple that it is complex. Silly me laughing out loud at myself, proud that I am "waking up".
