I started deep breathing meditation last week every few days. Helps me keep my focus and steadiness through my physio and taking on more difficult tasks at work.
That helps get rid of my free radical thoughts or just dull their occurance and influence of "habit".
But usually, game, read (alooot) or do chores while listening to a podcast. Im listening to EFAP atm talk about movies. Hang out with a someone close to me... Stuff.
When stress gets too much, I retreat into my own little world by escaping into my thoughts and disconnecting from everything around me, I go into survival mode until I’m able to find my balance again.
@Wiseacre For whatever reason, while my cortisol is probably still high during times of stress, my body and mind shut down and all I do is sleep. 🤷🏼♀.
@Wiseacre Not from the doc's perspective. ? Perhaps I'm just weird that way. Or depression during those times is more overpowering than the stress. Again...?
I go to the sources I've come to rely on to add both magic and perspective into things, not necessarily about the stressful things, but which overrule them in matters of importance.
