Discussion»Statements»Rosie's Corner» What do you think about as you try to fall asleep each night? The same thing, different things, nothing? How do you think about nothing?
If you are thinking of nothing aren't you really thinking of something? Nothing becomes something when you acknowlege it doesn't it? Airhead? Well you are a very clever girl and I guess if airhead is something you like to try on for size occasionally why not? Why does being a natural blond make anyone more likely to be an airhead than those who bleach their hair? I'm gonna ask D. Thank you for your reply and Happy Wednesday to thee! :)
Being a natural blonde doesn't mean I'm anything Rosie....... But if you got it ,why not milk it for wot it's worth when ever you can... Lol I have always found I can close my eyes,smile to myself and drift off into oblivion....I don't lay there and mull over the worlds problems knowing I can never fix them... I try my best to keep my own and who i know happy and worring about thing I can never ever fix to me is somewhat pointless...:(
I love classical music and jazz. Great idea except that I think it would bother Jim. I could use headphones I suppose. Thank you for your reply Neelie and Happy Wednesday! :)
Practice. That's the only way. And it becomes easier the more effort you put into it. I don't mean you need to spend hours. No. You need to start with five minutes and work up to ten. This is not a race.
It is the CONSISTENCY that matters most of all. The discipline.
All of the time you put into it is beneficial. Some people can connect to God and many spiritual practitioners easily communicate with the Source they call God and many are able to go within and get advice on how to manage their lives better. If I am having a squabble with someone, it helps to meditate and see MY faults not theirs. Because when we fight with someone, we are only looking in the mirror at our own faults. I know. I still have to fight this little pastime and I know better.
After awhile you realize that you naturally do this many, many times per day. We aren't aware, because most of the time, those thoughts run rampant through our heads.
The reason you want to? Because it will give you a bliss you did not realize you had control of. You can do it. Keep learning about meditation and it will reward you like you would not believe.
Also, I used to watch Donald Trump's antics until I fell asleep and I found myself staying awake way longer than I had planned because I was so worked up. That is not the way to fall asleep. You wake up the next day irritated and don't know why.
Better to put a positive affirmation tape on so you don't have to think and just drift off naturally.
I no longer squabble with anyone Sharon. Waste of time. If my only choice is to ignore or squabble I ignore. It's easier on me you see and from now on that's what I have to do to make the most of the time that's left to me whether it be days, weeks, months, years, decades. It's up to me how I spend that time. Thank you for your reply. Sometimes as i lay awake my dialogue is with God. I talk, He listens. So far no answers but then that isn't what I always seek. Sometimes I just want to talk and not be interrupted. Sometimes I get revved up by going over what was covered that day. It doesn't happen often. Thank you for your reply and the graphic.! :)
