Mindfulness

“I refreshed my email three times during dinner because I'm waiting to hear back about the job and I can't be present for anything right now.”

“I ate the leftover pasta standing over the sink again and I don't know why I can't just sit down like a normal person.”

“I told myself I'd only check Instagram once and it's been an hour and a half.”

“I practiced the conversation in my head so many times that when it actually happened I couldn't say any of it.”

“I saw my ex has a new girlfriend and logically I'm fine with it but I went very quiet for the rest of the evening.”

“I'm watching my body change in ways I wasn't prepared for and I don't know who to tell or what I'd even want them to say.”

“My doctor said the numbers are fine but I've been lying awake thinking about the ones that were borderline.”

“I spent the whole yoga class making a grocery list in my head.”

“I've been journaling for a week and every entry says the same thing in different words.”

“I laughed at something today for the first time in a while and then I felt guilty about it, which tells me something.”

“I keep comparing my relationship to people who've been together for twenty years and we've been together for ten months.”

“I'm sitting here trying to figure out if I'm deeply unhappy or just tired, and I honestly can't tell the difference tonight.”
