Daily Gratitude: If you’ve ever tried to meditate but think it’s useless since you end up with more thoughts than when you’re not trying to “still your mind” (ha), then try this. Many people tell you to imagine you’re a mountain and all the thoughts you’re having are like clouds flowing past you, the mountain. This works-sometimes- for me. But sometimes a thought or two just hangs out over the mountain and doesn’t move. I’m sure you’ve seen that when looking at a range of mountains. So, I was thinking of my addictive experience on Amazon where they show “more” books all in a row and you can see them when you swipe left. If you want to to see more about one book, you can click on it instead of swiping. But I look at my thoughts when trying to meditate as “oh that one is interesting but I want to see the one next to it and oh wow, there’s another…and another. All i need to do is keep swiping.” That way you can acknowledge you had this thought and then swipe left to het to the next one. Try this if you have issues with “too many” thoughts.
