'We live in a very false sense of reality where we think we know what tomorrow will bring.'
First: delete those 500 accidental screenshots of your home-screen.Notice your breath, is it fast or slow? Answer in your mind.Ask yourself, where in your body you notice yourself breathing? Is it your stomach, chest throat?As you breathe out, in your mind, say “breathing out”.The 7/11 breathing exercise:Ask yourself, “where in my body do I feel myself breathing?”If you struggle with deep breaths, breathe in for 5 counts and out for 9.
Use either techniques to check in on your breath right through the day. "It can be 30 seconds, a minute or two minutes," says Terrence. "If you notice your anxiety levels are high, go make yourself a drink or a tea, and while the kettle’s boiling, check in on your breathing. Just that noticing and checking will help the body to reset a little bit. The more you do it, the more natural it will feel.
Before we end our session, Terrence left me with this pearl of advice. "Life’s a gift. Even in this shitty time, we can grow, we can expand, we can get out stronger, but first, you need to look after yourself. Mindfulness," he adds, "is empowering because you can do it yourself."It's been several weeks since I spoke to Terrence and I've found myself using his advice most days.
